[video] Phoenix Street Theater brought to you by the letter B

[fierybluebird]

I found Bread a better suitor because Jack doesn't deserve bread's affections. [For those who don't remember a certain post from the virus event, it is linked.]

It took a lot of hard searching and digging around since I'm sure he's very hard to replace. [Right. Okay then.]

But finally I have succeeded! [And Marco pulls back to reveal a loaf of bread and a stick of butter.] BEHOLD! A match made in heaven.

[So then using a butter knife he just puts butter all over that bread. Why not. And then he starts singing the wedding march. Afraid yet? You should be.]

Aren't they cute together?

[And then as he basks in the glow of a perfect romantic match; he opens his mouth up and eats them.] And now they'll be together forever.

[Once again... this little video brought to you because phoenix pirates get bored. Don't throw tomatoes though; he'd eat those too.]

Used to be a lot more than it is now. [ He cocks his head to one side. ] I haven't gotten sick since I got here. Maybe I can catch a cold like a normal person now.

[video/text]

[fierybluebird]

So maybe this is a virus, eh.

[video/text]

[bauhinia]

So how d'you cure something like this? [ He says this just as another spurt of flame appears. ]

[video/text]

[fierybluebird]

Uwah... cool! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CURE IT?!

Keep it forever!

[Um. Don't mind him. He's just gonna sparkle eyes over the fire now =\]

[video/text]

[bauhinia]

Seriously?

[ He pauses, seemingly thinking about it. ]

Well, as long as I don't set my food on fire or something, I guess it's not too bad. [ He's smoking again now. ]

[video/text]

[fierybluebird]

It's definitely cool. Maybe you're a smoke dragon.

[video/text]

[bauhinia]

A smoke dragon. [ He sizes that up. ] Yeah, that does sound kinda cool.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

See? It's almost as good as being a phoenix, eh? Enjoy it while it lasts.

[video]

[bauhinia]

It's still not as cool, but I'll do my best. [ He smiles a liiiittle tiny bit. ]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

[Grins.] Well, nothing is, but I'm sure you'll find a way to make it entertaining.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, and to think, you have all those cool powers all the time. [ Is this his way of cheering Marco up?

Maaaybe. ]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh god cute.]

I guess I kind of take it for granted. [That and he's in moulting season early (he thinks) so being a phoenix isn't super glamorous right now.]

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ Success! ]

Well, you have it all the time, so it's like, normal to you.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Pretty much. It took me a long time to really think being human wasn't just a disguise phoenixes can do.

[video]

[bauhinia]

I dunno, that sounds reasonable to me.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? Why's that?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Well, why not, right?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Hah. All right, fair enough, eh?

[video]

[bauhinia]

I dunno, if I had the choice, I might be a phoenix more than a person. I could still do a pretty good job of being Hong Kong if I were a bird.

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Same. Though gripping pens with fingers should never be underestimated.

Besides, my nakama tried to teach me the good parts of being human, so I usually try to be at least a little, out of respect for them, eh?

[video]

[bauhinia]

You've gotta point there.

Just because you know what's good about being human doesn't mean you don't know what's good about everything else, yeah?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, but sometimes being a phoenix cuts me off from them, and that wasn't my goal.

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ He pauses, as if to think about that for a bit. ]

Yeah, I see what you mean. But you have to go your own way sometimes still, right?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes, but I still want my brothers to be able to talk to me.

And I don't want to slip into old habits too much.

[video]

[bauhinia]

That's fair. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pushy or anything.
