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

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!

[Totally just going to fall asleep still curled up around Japan.]

[...That's adorable. And once Japan realizes that he'll probably have a blush dokidoki moment...

He finishes what he's doing and glances at Marco. Does Marco wake up easily...]

[Pretty easily thanks to bird startle reflexes. This is also why you should never ever sneak up on Marco when he's sleeping. However, that alone won't wake him, and so long as he falls asleep with things in his environment he accepts their existence there and doesn't freak out so much.]

[Moe. Okay so Japan doesn't want to wake him so soon... So he probably sits there staring at the fire or something for a while. Still thinking along the "this is... nice" lines. How strange how new yadda yadda...

But there will be a point when he's tired too and if there's a storm coming or whatever...

He'll shift just slightly so he's closer to Marco's ear, but place a hand on his shoulder. PLEASE DON'T BE STARTLED gfsdgksd lmao he's trying to wake him gently.]

We should go in the tent.

[Blinks and wakes up slowly and nods.] Aye. Sure thing mate.

[Attempts to stretch and just stifles a yawn and sort of... instantly flomps inside, still in half phoenix form.]

[Japan takes care of putting the fire out, taking his time. Really because he's hesitating over something.

But he finishes up with that and ducks into the tent, giving the pirate a glance before he moved to lie down. ...And then rolled over closer to Marco. Yup he will deny this ever happening if you voice it though.]

[Curls up with a wing wrapped around Japan to keep him safe. Sleeps~]
