Can't be tamed! // 4th Wall [Video &/or Action]

[You know normal people when things get them down drink, carouse, carry on, lock themselves in a tower and cry for ten years... Okay well maybe not "normal" but people other than Marco do that. Marco on the other hand, grabs a piece of chalk and makes a hopscotch set out in the middle of the most open non-plant infested piece of pavement he can find. And then of course he shows off, because when you can fly and do backflips like nothing, hopscotch is really easy.]

Oi oi, for the life of me I can't remember if there's a rhyme that goes with this, eh?

[Yes, completely showing off with a few backflips.] Anyway, someone want to come play with me?

[Feel free to mock him, yell at him for showing off, try to push him over... you know whatever.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Casting a suspicious look at the hopscotch court.] How? If you fail do you get your head cut off?

No, it's a sport, not a means of execution.

Then how is it dangerous?

Watch.

[Hop hop, back flip, spiral flaming pirouette of death, land on a hop, and do it all backwards.

It should be noted though that he's cheating and every so often there's a blue burst of flames so the cheating is even visible. If Damian's eyes are really sharp, they'll catch his feet looking like talons too, in very very quick practically subliminal bursts.]

No ropes.

How do you do the flame thing. And what happened to your feet. [Of course Damian has sharp vision. Of course.]

[Blinks!]

You caught that?

[What can he say? He's so cocky, he wasn't expecting it.]

[He rubs the back of his neck. Oh well, whatever. He holds up a single arm and turns it into a fiery blue wing.]

I'm half bird.

[Say it with me Marco, trained assassin. Trained. Assassin.]

Genetically? [Studying the wing like a motherfucker.]

[Good trained assassin. One day he will understand that Damian was basically bred to be a CP9 agent or something.]

Devil fruit. [Switches to hybrid form so both wings are flaming and talons.]

[And it will be a glorious day indeed.]

... is that sort of like the Manbat serum? Is it temporary or permanent?

It's permanent, and it's not an injection. It's a curse. But I like it.

Oh a curse. [Damian understands curses well enough.]

If you like it then it's not a very clever curse, is it?

No, there are definitely downsides, believe me. [Distant look and shakes his hand.] But yeah, good points make up for it.

[Turning back to stare at the hopscotch court.] Do you have to be half bird to play this game?

[Because he might be a Robin, but that's only in name...]

[Gestures to it.]

Knock yourself out. Pirate style just means doing whatever the fuck you want with it. Try not to break any bones though, eh? We don't keep spares in stock at the hospital.

[Giving Marco an offended look.] The only bones I've ever broken in my life were done to me purposefully.

[... Shakes his head to himself. YOUR LIFE MAN. Well, to be fair Marco, would be in the same situation... except that he can't break bones being a phoenix.]

I'm sure you'll be fine then unless the pavement conjures a vendetta against you.

[It is a glorious life, Marco, what are you talking about?]

[Damian shrugs, takes a breath, and proceeds to flip--]

[--and gyre--]

[--and gimble--]

[--and basically show what working in tandem with an ex-circus acrobat for so long does to your flexibility.]

[LAUGHS.] Good show, eh? So I take it your brother's not the only one with an acrobatic background?

[Head tilt.] No, but mobility was highly valued in the league of shadows, and I would train with him a lot so I probably picked up a few tendencies from him.

Just from training? Okay well, color me impressed.

[Marco isn't impressed often, or arguably ever.]
