[Marco's voice starts off cheerfully enough.]

Hey everyone, I think I found the place where the cave-in for the train-thing is. The currents here are pretty weird so if we can get ... some ... strong swimmers then...

[He starts trailing off, obviously seeing something.] Pops...? [His voice is quiet, barely audible. It's not possible, he knows it's not, he watched the man die. So it's just like Luffy's food and an illusion. Has to be. But then it gets stronger.] POPS!! [He starts running, sandals hitting the wood of the deck.] Pops... [This time he just sounds anguished. And then suddenly there's a splash. Uh where did Marco go?]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. He's not afraid of you for being a big Westerner.

[bauhinia]

[ He just stares for a second. Then shakes his head. ] I don't even know what to say to that, sorry.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

I can't wait for him to meet Kingdew. He'd have a heart attack.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Oh yeah? I could stand to see that.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Kingdew is blonde and half again my height, and twice as thick.

Korea's reaction would be hilarious.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Yeeeeep, it would be. ]

Okay, if they show up here at the same time, we make it happen.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Definitely.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Maybe we can film it from a distance, just to be safe.

[ He's deadpanning, of course, so it's hard to discern whether this is serious. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I could never leave Kingdew to Korea. It's just too cruel. You'd have to record it though. For blackmail.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ He thinks about that for a second. ]

Okay, that sounds fair.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Excellent.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Nodding. ] Then we'll do it.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Now to just Kingdew here.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I wonder how the scientists pick who to bring?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

So do I actually.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

There are a lotta people here who know no one from home, but then there's a few of us that have lots of family or friends here, yeah?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Beats me why.

[Because Marco is not a main character. Deal with it Marco.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

It's weird.

[ Hong Kong isn't either. Are they doomed?! ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye.

[Yes. But Hong Kong has a lot of his family.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Maybe we're being subtly discouraged from questioning their logic.

[ Oh, that's true. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Because it's too crazy to comprehend even with questions?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Wording it like that makes it sound pretty ominous.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Just a theory.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Everything's just a theory 'til we prove it, yeah?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Got an idea how to prove that one?
