[video] -- 2 things: Trick or Treating and 8 more commander drawings
First order of business, the trolls don't have Halloween in their world. Thus I'm inviting any of you who would find it fun to come trick or treating. That said, I suggest everyone try to find treats for them unless you want to experience the full weight of troll tricks. Eridan, Karkat, Tavros, Sabo, Vriska, Gamzee, and anyone else under 18 who wants to go trick or treating; you need a costume. If you want ideas, ask me or ask around for suggestions.
Also these are the remaining commander drawings I promised Hong Kong a while ago.

[Marco arches an eyebrow and glances back and forth.]
I see. Group effort, eh?
Ninja pirates? Is that better or worse than cowboy pirates? [Here's looking at you Ace.]
[action]
Is that something that needs to be asked? Cowboys seem strictly American, while ninjas are strictly Japanese. [SO...]
I also had pirates like Shirahama Kenki-san... ...His actions actually lead to closer relations between Vietnam-san and myself. [A glance to Hong Kong DO YOU LIKE HOW HE WAS SHOVING THE CONVO OFF ON YOU EARLIER, AND NOW TRIES TO STEAL IT. Such a loser.]
Did Hong Kong-kun gain anything positive from his pirates?
[action]
Why would you need to be a cowboy and a pirate? Aren't they kinda mutually exclusive?
[ He's only met Marine Ace, ironically. ]
Sure. I got richer. [ ... ahaha. ] But a lot of it happened during the Opium Wars. Not so much then, no.
[action]
What happened with Shirahima Kenki and the Opium Wars?
[action]
[He assumes Marco is asking them to each tell a separate story there. So why not go first.]
Shirahama Kenki-san was a pirate who raided Vietnam-san's coastline. Naturally, this was not welcomed, and a son of Lord Nguyen Hoang led a fleet of ten ships to battle the pirates. Ah, I believe Shirahama Kenki-san lost two ships, and fled. They mistook him as a foreigner and left it as that...
But 14 years later, Shirahama Kenki-san's ship crashed at a port there. I believe it was Thuan An... Ah, anyway, a local magistrate attempted to attack him and was killed. Shirahama Kenki-san was imprisoned, recognized as Japanese, and so my newly appointed shogun at the time was contacted.
... Our governments worked together on quite friendly terms from that point. Vietnam-san and I, I mean. As for the Opium Wars, they were much later, and I am sure Hong Kong-kun could tell far too much on them. [glances to him]

And Opium Wars... That's what China calls England, isn't it? "Opium." And I assume it has something to do with the smoking habit. [Not that Marco has a problem with it. We are talking Marco after all.]
[action]
[action]
[ He doesn't really want to talk about it either, it hits way, way too close to home. Literally. ] Yeah, that's right. It's a long story.
[action]
Ah, forget I asked. So got anymore stories about pirates?
[action]
But pirate stories? Hm.]
Marco is always so interested in stories... I wonder if I will run out. [this soft smile shows he doubts that BUT YES]
[action]
Yeah, there are a lot. I'll have to think of some more to tell. Man, if Macau were here, he'd tell some good ones.
[action]
Macau?
[action]
[action]
[ It's not weird, it's totally normal! ♥ ]
[action]
[action]
He has many stories, at least.
[action]
He's a little bit of a nerd, but he's really smart and kinda badass when you get to know him. Not as much as me, but you know.
[ It's hard to be as cool as Hong Kong. :'| ]
[action]
[action]
Fun, is it...
[action]
He is a lotta fun. And he really does have interesting stories.
