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

[fierybluebird]

[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.]

Actually, Luceti's nothing like this place. The building are in better shape, and there's... normal plants. But yeah, a different world. Blackbeard was there for a while. That was fun. [So much sarcasm there.]

Yeah, you've been there longer than me.

[fierybluebird]

Teach was? [Instant scowl and blue flames on the arm.]

I have? Huh. In this place you were here long before me.

[hiken_ace]

Don't worry, he didn't do anything other than stupid shit. No one was hurt. He left, though.So that place got a lot better.

--I was here before? How long?

[fierybluebird]

Che... He better not have or I'd kill him. However many times it took.

Mm... years... You left half a year ago.

[hiken_ace]

I'd've helped you if not for the fact that death isn't permanent. And if we died, we might've lost something important.

... ah... [Suddenly that explains why Marco was so happy to see him. He smiles softly, throwing an arm around his brother.] I'll stay for as long as I can, okay?

[fierybluebird]

It isn't permanent here either, eh.

[Grins at the hug and leans his head against Ace's.] Thanks matey.

Ah so what am I like there-- [Pauses, well you know, he's probably the same.] -- well I mean friends and stuff. [Does he know Japan?] What kind of life are you living up there, yes, that's the question.

[hiken_ace]

Well, let's hope no one we hate shows up here.

[He thinks for a bit, tapping his chin.] You kinda know a lot of people? Some of your friends, you've met through me. Uh, you've got a crush on Nico Robin [Because he has to be an ass.] and you're kinda friends with a thief. You get around with people.

As for me, I'm just... kind of enjoying the time I have.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah... that'd be less fun.

I -- wait what? What?? Nico Robin the Survivor of Ohara? How'd THAT happen? And what kind of thief?

[... TUGS ACE INTO A FIRM HUG and lightly noogies.] You better be. No moping around damn it. You're making lots of friends too?

[hiken_ace]

Don't ask me! All I know is you kinda blush when we talk about her, and you took her flying. And I'm not sure. I think his name's Lupin? Seems like a nice guy.

[ldndlkzhn noooo shoves your hand away!] Oi, I'm doing fine! I've made plenty of friends. Just-- [Maaaaybe he shouldn't tell this Marco about the nightmares.] --just trying to adjust.

[fierybluebird]

Oi... I never blush. I took her flying though? [Must be serious. ALSO ACE WHAT. Marco and Lupin aren't friends! Marco cheerfully offered to bash the guy's head into pavement. =\]

Trying to adjust. [SMOOSHES HIS FRECKLED CHEEKS.] If you're still having nightmares then tell the me there, got it? Maybe I can make you some tea and sleep with you, eh?

[hiken_ace]

You blush. And yeah, flying. [HEY, THAT COULD EASILY BE MISTAKEN FOR FRIENDSHIP, OKAY.

And swatting your hands away, dammit.] Shit, how do you know about those even here? And... you usually just make coffee, but that sounds good.

[fierybluebird]

I do not blush. [... Oh Ace.]

Well, try talking to me. I don't really talk back well, eh? Thatch had to work on me for years to get this much, but it's not that hard. Japan here made me have tea with him every day just so we could talk about problems before they got big.

I don't actually have coffee here though, just tea, but if you want we could go grab some. And I always know, because I know you. You're one of my best friends idiot.

[hiken_ace]

Yes you do. [Shush.]

Okay, okay, I will, all right? I promise. [He promised the Discedo!Marco, not the Luceti!Marco, so he's safe. >>] And who's Japan?

Either's fine, thanks. [God, you and your mushiness, Marco. He can't help but smile.] No wonder you always know how to bug me.

[fierybluebird]

I seriously do not, eh. Japan could attest for me. [.... By saying how much Marco can blush if pushed right... yuuuup.]

You adopted him as nakama and I'm in love with him. [Sadly this sounds the same as his deadpan lies but he's serious.]

Exactly. Eh so I get to bug you a lot there?

[hiken_ace]

You do, too, and I've seen it. [muahahaha.]

--really? [She smiles widely.] Then I'm glad for you.

Heh. It's you. You'll bug me wherever we go.

[fierybluebird]

Lies.

Thanks. I guess he's not in that other village though, eh? [Probably just as well since Marco was going to try to find Japan's home, not yet another midpoint, but he's glad Ace is alive and well somewhere.]

Damn straight. [Sticks his tongue out.]

[hiken_ace]

Nope, just truth.

I've seen him there before. I'm not sure if he's still there.

[He rolls his eyes and lightly smacks his head.] You never change.

[fierybluebird]

What really? About Japan, I mean.

[Shakes his head.] On second thought don't tell me.

[Sticks his tongue out at Ace.] You say that like it's even a problem.

[hiken_ace]

Yeah. I've met him before, too. [He gives him an annoyed look.] With you? It definitely can be.

[fierybluebird]

[Messes up Ace's hair more.]

No way. It's a good thing.

[hiken_ace]

[He swats his hand away.] Fine, but only sometimes.

[fierybluebird]

Try all the time.

[hiken_ace]

[He sighs.] You're just as delusional here as you are in Luceti.

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi, what delusional? This is how the world looks without filters, try it sometimes.

[hiken_ace]

I don't look at the world with filters. You look at it in the craziest way possible.
