[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]



[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]

FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

Comments

[mephistophilus]

I imagine they will. There are feeling of unease and flowers might help assuage them. {He sounds thoughtful.} I am told we are heading East.

{Voice}

[fierybluebird]

Not a lot of hardened pirates in the crew I take it?

{Voice}

[mephistophilus]

You guess correctly. However I am equal to a crew when I put my mind to it. {And his powers.}

{Voice}

[fierybluebird]

[Equal to a crew?]

[Marco doesn't even know what that means. Even when his Pops was the strongest in the world, his crew were still his treasure and more valuable to him than anything else.]

[But he assumes it means he's stuck running a lot of the tasks, and fighting.]

[Still... even that...]

[For all that Marco usually has to work overtime, at least his brothers pick up the slack where they can, and try to make up for all the extra work they give him.]

You must miss having experienced adults to talk with then, eh.

[Butler was it? Somehow he figures it goes a little deeper, even for what he knows of pirate butlers in his own world.] Got a favorite vice or three? I can try to send over a bottle of booze or books if you're lacking, eh.

{No, Sebastian means it literally. He has the ability to dart from task to task to keep a ship running smoothly. However it would take a toll on him eventually.}

There are few adults who can interest me. {He is drawn to souls to put it bluntly. The bodies the souls reside in are...immaterial.} While I appreciate the offer, my vice cannot be fulfilled so easily.

{Though since he is a dog off his leash...}

I have thought about entertaining myself. The days are long. {As are the nights since he doesn't sleep.}

{Voice}

[fierybluebird]

I'll see if we can't find something more interesting for you to join in on then, eh.

[Something where he can leave the girls behind for a day or two. Marco thinks he gets it a little. He's a little too mother hen to his own crew, but at least they always aim at being the strongest in the world so he gets plenty of exercise to fight.]
