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

Be nice to the old man, Marco. It's my birthday. [ meaning. you owe him shit. lots and lots of it. and amusing stupid quirky crap. lots and lots of it. ]

[Pales a little.]

Oh shit I forgot... 12th already?

[Grins and gives him a one-armed hug.] Fine fine, come to my bar, eh~ I'm almost turning into Shakkey here, except not as smoking.

Most definitely is, Marco. [ chuckles and eyebrow raise. ] Be a dear and tell me, where we are.

Discedo. In another world called Fortuna. There are two moons here. And recently it flooded and we got all this crazy plant life you're seeing. [Vague gesture around before he leads him into the Northern Lights.] And this is the Northern Lights. It's really Shinjiro's place, but he went home so I took it up in his memory.

I see. [ he doesn't really care. ] Now, about that booze.

[Laughs, he kind of expected that.]

Aye, aye. What's your pleasure of the day -- and don't say sex. You know I mean cocktails or other mixes.

I surprisingly have someone back home. [ shrugs. Then leans into his hand and glances around. ] Whiskey is fine. [ bored. ]

[Blinks, almost surprised, but doesn't comment, just pours him some whiskey and slides it over.]

Yeah? What's the last thing you remember of home? [GIVE HIM DEETS.]

Nothing important. [ shrugs and then crosses his legs, ankle resting on his knee as he relaxes. ] Don't worry much of it, Phoenix.

Silvers... [Frowns but shakes his head. Birthday. All right.]

I'll come join, eh.

Luffy's here too, I heard you actually taught him everything you know about haki. [Impressed impressed! And it takes a lot to impress Marco. A lot.]

He's an natural, took nothing more than to shine the stone and teach him to harness it. [ shrugs. ] Not a hard feat for the next pirate king, yes? [ sips. oh, that's what's bothering him. ]

This place treating you well, Phoenix? [ also... all the fake smiles sob ]

[Please, Marco lives with Ace, and dates Japan, you think he doesn't know fake smiles? He's not going to call him on it though, he never does.]

Today's been surprisingly good. First time I've laughed over and over in many months. And I found out Ace is living on somewhere else and actually living. It's a weird day. Trust the universe to have a miniature implosion on your birthday, eh?

It tends to do that, doesn't it? [ more fake smiles and leans into his hand, holding up the empty glass for more. ] Do you mind?

[Pours him up!]

At least we can safely say the universe has had the good taste to refrain from bringing Blackbeard's ugly mug here. So far.

[ frowns and then chuckles. ] Lucky, lucky. [ looks down at his glass and just sips. ] Today sucks. [ bluntly. ] The one day I thought I could leave it all behind on. Instead I get swallowed in the past.

[Flicks his forehead in deadpan.] Stop that then.

[All the sympathy, but no seriously. He has to tell himself 50 times a day he's going to keep moving forward, so flickings for Ray-Ray.]

[ catches his hand and puts it aside. Marco, he's told himself this for how long? It's getting tired and now he just smiles. ]

Don't you think I've tried, Phoenix?

[Frowns and leans forward to kiss Ray's forehead.]

I can't give you the burning fire to keep moving forward Ray, but I think you can find it Ace's little brother. The past only has to drag you down if you're afraid of letting it go.

Thinking of going out in a bang. [ aka: blow up a corrupt marine base. Like G5. Take out the whole thing and then just. Let someone get the last shot on him. Make a giant splash and let it go. ] My era's long gone and Luffy can hold himself up now -- with his nakama. Just. Like. You. [ taps Marco's head lightly. ]

Not to mention, 68 is a nice time to go join every one, yes? [ okay, finally a real, but saaad smile. he misses rogers and rouge. a lot. ]

[....... Wow. No. Wrong thing to tell Marco. Or wrong person to tell this to? Marco waits calmly for Ray to finish his drink. You know. Just calm peaceful. Oh, you're going to commit suicide? Send a postcard. Except it doesn't take several dozen years of knowing Marco to know that this is not a good face. This is five second warning to shout "Just kidding" and get out before he decides to kick out all of your teeth and use them for shrapnel as a bomb he puts in your chest.]

[Once the drink is over then Marco fucking loses it and punches Rayleigh hard, practically intending to break his jaw. Complete with haki.]

Don't even start. Don't even threaten it.

[Grabs him by the hobo-esque shirt and shoves him against the wall.] Do you know what HELL it is to be alone?! You know full well you could go look up Shanks anytime you fucking choose and he'd be happy to see you.

I don't blame you for not because he's annoying, but it's only because we've all assumed you prefer doing your own thing. You're giving up on us? On this Era?! Don't you dare fucking try to echo Pops words at me!

Luffy still needs all the god damn help he can get! Do you have any idea what we're facing back there?! DO YOU?! Teach didn't just steal Pops' devil fruit and life! He freed every fucking dumbass too strong with not enough brains punk we ever defeated! You know better than anyone how many enemies Pops has!
