[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?]

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.

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.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. It's not like they're all virgins.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Pretty sure none of them are.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

There you go then, eh.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I probably oughta work on that.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Don't compare it to others. I was actually later than most, and that's fine.

Just make sure you have no regrets one way or another.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, you're right. I don't really have anyone in mind or anything like that anyway.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

It'll come to you. No need to rush. It's like being a country. You'll get there someday so you don't have to worry so much about when, eh?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I'm acting like such a kid now, yeah? How uncool.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] Everyone fun has a little bit of a kid still about them. You should see me around my Pops or other brothers.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Oh yeah? I bet I can imagine it a little.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? It's always a blast, eh. [Mixed happy/sad of course.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Sounds like something I'd like to see. [ And this is said with only the barest hint of reservation. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

If we're lucky some more might show up then.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I'll wait for that. [ His tone makes it sound like he fully intends to do that, too. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Grins softly.] I appreciate it.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, it's not my doing, right? [ He's being a kid again. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Cute.]

Who knows. In this place, maybe even the desire or hope can have some effect, eh?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Ahh, don't look. Must have tsun moment. ]

It's gotta be ironic that I wanna say 'I hope so,' right?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Or maybe cute matey. [Sticks his tongue out teasingly.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

That's definitely not a word you use to describe anything I do.

[ 'Cept it totally is. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

You mean it's nearly an adequate word for everything you do? Aye. So I know matey, so I know. [Trolololol]
