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.]

[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?
[action]
[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!
[action]
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.
[action]
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!
[action]
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.
