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.]

He was an angel that fell.

I don't know the whole story, only bits and pieces from when he's been in Discedo a few times. He was trapped as a person, even had to go visit hell, he's been upset with his father, the works.

When I say "die" I don't mean stop existing. But I do mean part of you would be no more.

[chinesesweets]

Almost sounds like Dante's Inferno.

[Putting all joking aside. This time the rubbing stops for good, but he continues to avoid eye contact.] Then I wonder if they mean my father's blood that runs through my veins.

You know... my mother and her sister were fallen angels too. That's why they had to collect all those Heaven Coins to atone.

[fierybluebird]

I guessed as much. I'm quite certain no reasonable god would allow his angels to run around in an area where they could meet pirates such as myself, eh?

[No, but... he's serious. Marco wanted to propose to Satan. Yup....]

Maybe one day you'll choose one side over the other, but don't expect it to be soon. Besides, there's nothing wrong with taking your time right? That's the advantage to immortality or whatever near approximation we have.

[chinesesweets]

Yeah... but, truth is, I'd rather not chose if I can help it. I said I wanted to see Heaven, not necessarily stay there. My mother, she gave up Heaven to be with Baba.

[fierybluebird]

Exactly. I don't think it's the kind of place you can see just to visit though, eh?

In my experience such things tend to deal a bit more with absolutes.

[chinesesweets]

[He stretches his arms, feeling less stressed out even though his true idea was never brought up. Well, actually, that's a good thing. Some things are just better left unsaid.]

Besides, I don't think I could handle all those rules for too long. I mean, of course my parents have rules for me to follow, but they don't have me on a leash.

It seems more fun down here, anyway. Though, Mama's told me they have everything in Heaven...

[fierybluebird]

Aye, exactly.

Oh? Well they don't have your family, right?

[chinesesweets]

That's right. I bet they don't have Aunt Taiwan's homemade desserts either.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Unless she's there in the future, but by that point, you might be more ready, eh?

[chinesesweets]

That always makes me wonder: Am I immortal like my mother? Or am I like my father? I'm only one hundred fifty now. Not exactly a long time to figure such things out.

[fierybluebird]

Why can't it be both? Sometimes such things require a bit of growth and change.

Especially in part-countries' cases I believe.

[chinesesweets]

That's just it. Never before has there been a being that was "part-country."

[fierybluebird]

What about Hong Kong? He's not technically a full country, eh?

[chinesesweets]

Yeah, but 香港叔叔 wasn't born between a Nation and an angel, now was he?

[fierybluebird]

True enough. Either way, try not to worry too much about taking it slow, eh? Otherwise you might miss out on all the best things worth living for.
