[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?]

I'll make a note. [ To talk to Ace, that is. ] Sounds good to me. I'll be in your care then. [ If this were video, he'd bow here. ]

Oh yeah? [ Why isn't this video?! That made him smile.... ]

[Video -- takes a picture >:P]

[fierybluebird]

[Switches to video and takes a picture.]

Yeah. [Bows and grins back at him.] That's a lot of trust though, eh? Don't waste it.

[Video -- gasp!!]

[bauhinia]

[ Oh wow, two rare occurrences in a row: that just made him blush. ]

Hey, what're you doing? [ Don't take his picture!! Also, he got too distracted to reply, but he's not going to abuse that trust. ]

[Video -- >:)]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh... cute... TAKES ANOTHER!]

Nothing. [Innocent voice. Yes. Because Marco is always the first thing you think of when you think innocence. Uh-huh.] You knows it's a good thing a certain borderline pedophile I know isn't around. He'd just eat you up. [... obviously innocent. OBVIOUSLY. China is going to murder Marco if he ever sees this... yup.]

[bauhinia]

[ Ah, Marco, you schemer!! Get out of here. ]

Don't say stuff like that, Japan might hear. [ Augh, fight fire with fire!! Quick!! Oh gosh, he's going to blush again. Must compose lineface..... ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

And would that bother you?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I wouldn't care, but he probably would. [ Lineface is slowly reconstructing itself. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

He doesn't know who I'm talking about. But all right, I won't tell him if you don't.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Somehow I don't think it'd matter who was doing the 'eating me up.' [ ... Sob, is... he amused about this now? ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco certainly is anyway.]

Eh, everyone has to start somewhere, right? Besides, it'd be hypocritical of him to expect you to never get anywhere forever.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Let's share our amusement then. ]

Wow, kinda sounds like you're encouraging me to do bad things now.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Is that how it sounded? I meant nothing of the sort.

[... As no one ever believes that. I WONDER WHY.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

You must be telling me to behave then, yeah?

[ Wow, Marco. Wow. Put ideas in his head, why don'cha! ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Of course. Would I do anything but that?

[Pfft... Marco could write a book on how to creatively misbehave.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I don't know, would you? You are a pirate and all.

[ Hong Kong has probably read that book already.... ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure we just have an undeserved bad rap. [He's such a Liaaaar.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, I think you're pretty cool. But that's the dangerous part, yeah? Wanting to emulate you and all.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. I have been known to lure people into a life of crime, eh.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

But not me, because for some reason, you're encouraging me to be good. Right?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Spreads his hands as if to say he would never ever have any thoughts to the contrary.]

But of course. [Why does that sound so unbelievable. Is it the French accent? Is it the piratical nature. Who can really say.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

That's sort of too bad though. I'm pretty determined to do bad stuff, seems like.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Got your acts of mischief planned out already? Because if it's all just doodles of Japan and me having sex, I should probably give you some authenticity pointers, eh.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I can't turn down tips from a firsthand authority, now can I? They should be glad. Doodling like this keeps me from going out and doing it for myself. That kinda seems to terrify them.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Why is that anyway?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I don't know, really. Seems kinda backward to me.
