[Video] In which phoenixes pirates and countries alike go exploring

[fierybluebird]

Did you know there's a bird of prey called a secretary bird for how ridiculous it looks? It's actually extremely dangerous though. Its legs are so powerful that rather than divebombing enemy like a falcon or eagle or strange bird pinky -- [Wait, what was that last one? Yeah screw your normal birds, One Piece has weird things as you might know from the rapahn.] -- Instead a secretary bird uses its wings for balance and kicks snakes to death. For fun since snakes are shitty prey. I always thought that was a pretty cool fighting style.

Speaking of birds of prey, can anyone tell me more about birds in their world? Or mythological ones? Phoenixes, dragons, rocs, thunderbirds, anything like that, eh?

We're about 2 days out of Discedo now, and I've decided to completely map out the lake for Kiku's map program, eh. There are plenty of explorers in my world, technically the first pirate king started out that way even. But I'm wondering about everyone else's explorers. Is the world you come from all explored? Who first ventured to those far unknown reaches? Come on, I'm sure at least some of you have that adventurer's blood in your veins, eh?

Oh, and everyone in Spero, don't forget Ace is captain!

[Grins at her amusement.] Ah, all right then.

If you want to meet the other one, my brother Ace is still in the city, eh. Just don't get too taken in by the abs, eh? He's not really the shirt-wearing type.

Ah, I've met him already, actually... and yes, I've... noticed... it seems to be something pirates have in common... [ slowly turns a little red as she says this... ]

[EVIL sly pirate leer.]

Oh, you've noticed, eh?

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure he gets it from me. I'm so proud of him.

[ askjdsjhk that smile... she shivers a bit, what is this sudden threatening atmosphere-

...which is suddenly gone when he says that second thing. gone because it was all in her imagination... ]

That's not something to be proud of! Walking about scandalously like that... [ she's just pretending to be a prude here, sort of, she's actually pretty okay with it... but she's still a prude... and a huge pervert at the same time... that's japan for you, man. ]

[Yes... ignore the predatory leer. All the better to eat you with my dear.]

Eh? Kiku says I dress boldly. In a good way. [Pretending to be offended.] Besides, I can't go around covering up my Pops' tattoo. That's my treasure. [Takes off his shirt to be a pest.]

[ yelps and covers her face with her hands completley ] Marco-san, that is inappropriate!

[Throws his head back and laughs. Be glad Sakura, usually even when he's this amused, he acts otherwise so almost no one gets to see it.]

[fierybluebird]

[He has the shirt back on, though still completely unbuttoned of course.]

I'm sorry Miss Sakura. I'm sure the heat just got to me. I wouldn't want to offend your sensibilities however.

...I-it's all right... a-as long as Marco-san understands... [ lowers her hands slowly wait Japan why are they kind of bloody and why do you seem to have just received a nosebleed and why does it look like you mostly covered her face to hide your nosebleed.... (hint: because that's exactly what happened) ]

video

[fierybluebird]

[Lol oh Japan... like Marco has any room to talk.]

Of course. I promise not to striptease you on camera again without warning first. [Deadpan forever.]

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I... if possible, I would appreciate it if Marco-san were to avoid doing... "striptease"... in front of me on the camera at all..

video

[fierybluebird]

If you insist.

[ sighs in relief and takes a handkerchief out of hammerspace and starts wiping away the blood like this is the most normal thing to do ever. ] Thank you for understanding.

video

[fierybluebird]

Utterly. After all, Kiku is the same way. Though differently.

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I see... it's to be expected, I suppose.

video

[fierybluebird]

[Hm awkward moment.... eh, screw it, moving past that.]

So how is everything in Spero?

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

Ah, perfectly fine, so far...[ for the most part anyway but she doesn't say that ]

video

[fierybluebird]

So far? You're worried it'll get worse?

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

I didn't say it was bad... [ totally misinterpreting yup ]

video

[fierybluebird]

Ah... all right. Well if there's anything that can be done, you let me or Ace know, eh?

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

O-of course. [ translation: nope! ]

video

[fierybluebird]

[He knows that "of course" he spends all his time with Japan after all.]

Still so determined to be self-sufficient I see.

video

[nihonna.livejournal.com]

E-eh? I do not know what Marco-san could be talking about...!

video

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Ah, perhaps I'm mistaken then. My apologies.
