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.]

Yeah! And she's been collecting clothes for centuries, so it's gotta be something freaky fab to catch her eye!

Thought that might be it! Flying sounds awesome.

Alright, but you better hurry up and tell me what a chocobo is or I might catch one! Haven't got wings for flying, but these paws sure can hustle!

Sounds like you and your friends really know fashion well, eh?

Flying is awesome.

A chocobo is a big yellow bird. What kind of thing are you smelling?

Definitely! Well, Ghoulia's not that into it; she's more into comics, her computer, and studying and stuff. But she's creepy cool in her own way! Smartest ghoul in school.

[Judging by the odd view he's getting of just her nose poking over the bottom of the screen and of course that thick hair, it seems like she's decided to carry the communicator in her teeth.

All she needs is to run out to where the moon's light can shine more fully on her and she'll start running so fast, the video blurs before showing nothing but gloomy streaks of grey and the occasional flashes of night sky smeared with the green of treetops when she leaps over rubble or other obstacles in her path, although she moves too quickly for the camera to focus on anything to be certain of what it's recording.]

Smells like a pig! And unless pigs here are yellow and have wings, I'm guessing that's what I'm gonna have!

... wait, I think I smell rabbit too. [She stops when she lands, claws latching onto the side of a tree.] It's coming from the same direction too! [Somebody's still unfamiliar with the weird mix-and-match critters that live here, apparently.]

Yeah? I think it'd pretty hard to beat out you in genius, eh?

[Just keeps hanging on, watching her in action.]

Okay, yeah those are fine. Have at, eh.

[Once she gets the okay, she starts running again.]

Heh, thanks for the compliment! [Another leap to the side.] But I'm fickle—

[She lands close to the ground, then everything's a blur again as she races straight ahead.] I don't do well in classes—

[She suddenly veers off from her path to hide behind a tree.]

Unless I think they're worth it.

[She stops talking and goes very still and quiet, hiding in the shade provided by a tree, judging by the view. She steals a glance around it, then runs quickly to secure her prey, which barely manages a surprised squeal before her claws pierce it. Didn't seem like she had much trouble!]

Eh, hunting's kind of a messy way to start a day, but hey. A wolf's gotta eat. [Rather casual, that tone. She bends down to drop the communicator beside her, to avoid dirtying it with her hands.]

You don't have a problem with blood, do you? Just making sure. I got a friend who faints at the mention of it.

No, I'm fine. Omnivorous, but I go hunting for my little brother a lot. I just have to be careful how much I eat myself. Tends to make me more murderous. Part of my curse.

And as for classes, I never went to school, but it sounds more like a self-discipline thing, so I wouldn't worry about it too much, eh.

[Well, she'll spare him the sight, then. She wouldn't feel right eating when he isn't supposed to have any, even if he's used to hunting... she'll probably finish pretty quickly anyway!]

Yikes, some curse...

How'd you wind up cursed? Is there any way to break it?

And really, you never went to school? What'd you do instead of going to school? If you don't mind sharing, that is.

Nah, I wouldn't want to break it anyway. It's why I'm a phoenix. The only way to break it is die, probably by some serious drowning and have someone separate the part of me that regenerates the rest of me. Fortunately, that's nearly impossible. I guess if I really really got sick of living I could give a set of instructions on how to kill me to my enemies, they'd be more than happy to, but I'd rather avoid that.

I was a pirate, so I taught myself a lot of things like bookkeeping, money laundering, things like that. I still can't steer the ships for shit, but it's just as well because navigating under the ocean is nothing like flying. Unfortunately. Seriously though, don't ever let them tell you currents are the same, it's a lie.

[Separate the part of him that regenerates the rest of him? He's like a flying starfish!]

That's pretty interesting... never knew so much about a phoenix before! Hey, it's cool. I wonder if that's why my vampire friend doesn't drink blood... I'd ask her, but there's the whole "fainting when she hears the word 'blood'" thing in the way.

Got it!

... say, do all pigs here have bunny ears Or did I just eat a runaway specimen from somebody's biteology class?

So, where can I find you? I could use better company than leftovers.

Wait, your vampire friend is the one who gets queasy about blood? What does she eat then?

And the animals around here are just pretty bizarre in general. If you go further out you'll find more dangerous and crazy things.

Here I'll send you Japan's Map Program, just look for the one the building that says Northern Lights on it, eh?

From what I've seen, mainly tofu, fruits, vegetables, and a whole lotta iron suplements.

Heh, sounds like my school, especially the catacombs! They're filled with dangerous things, so it's hard to move around there quickly unless you've got a guide who really knows the place. There's so many traps too!

Creeperiffic, thanks! [And she'll be ending the video feed once she receives the file.]

[And she'll be riiight over, knocking on his door!]

Huh, not what I'd expect for a vampire.

[Opens the door right up and leads her in.] Nice to meet you, eh? I'm Marco. [Offers a handshake.] Make yourself comfy.

So tell me about these catacombs?

[She'll grin and step right in.] Pleasure's all mine!

[And she'll reach out, careful not to scratch him, and shake his hand.]

Yikes, where do I even start? There's gargoyles, tentacles that tend to roam around the weird bubbling pools and grab passing monsters at random, but those tend to pop out everywhere, so they're not a catacomb-only deal— ooh, better be careful around some of the statues, some of them have awful people trapped inside of 'em. There's also the Cauldron of Eternal Body Odor... guess what falling in that thing does?

There's a whole bunch of rivers and there are some plants that grow down there that can be used as medicinal herbs, which is... kinda really inconvenient. Wonder whose bright idea that was. Maybe they need to grow somewhere really dark... beats me.

I'm no expert on the catacombs. That'd be Operetta. I don't stick one claw down there without a good reason!

I can see why, though it does sound fascinating. Random tentacles even. Statues trapped with people and cauldrons of gross things though... Eh I'll pass.

Maybe the plants can only grow surrounded by all the other weird things? Some plants are like that, eh.

What does Operetta do? Also, what would like to drink, if anything.

Yeah, those statues are keeping some absolutely awful types. Two of 'em split the student body in half, goaded them into hating one another, and nearly killed my little sister and my friends!

I'm no gardening expert, but I guess that makes sense.

Operetta's another student, she's kind of new at Monster High, so I don't know her too well, but she spends a lot of time in the catacombs. She knows it like the back of her paw— uh, hand!

Ooh, you don't have to get me anything! [She smiles.]

You know, I talked a lot about my school and friends, but you didn't get to talk much at all! It's your turn. I wanna get to know my first phoenix friend a little better!

Those are some big asshole statues.

Huh, interesting. This school of yours really sounds fascinating.

[He grins back with a small chuckle.] Hah if you get me going about my family I'll never quit. We were all united by my Pops, who's our captain. Big tall guy, about twenty feet tall or so. And he causes earthquakes. He's a pirate emperor -- one of 4, and he was the only man to tie in a fight with the Pirate King, so he's pretty famous as the strongest man in the world, so he's had a lot of assassination attempts on his head.

Most pirates wanted to make it to the end of the Grand Line; it's only ever been done once before by Gol D. Roger, the pirate king. Now they're all chasing after his treasure One Piece. But I love my Pops because he never had any interest in that. His dream was to have a big family so he collected us sons and used his reputation as the strongest man in the world to protect the islands of his friends.
