piratejournal | [Written] And now for something completely different from the last time

Marco here.

Sorry for my state in the last post, and thank you very much to those sweet enough to humor me, you're too kind.

Bepo, and Vyse, I have duplicates of my maps for you, assuming you both still want them.

For everyone else, I've made about twenty copies of various maps and directions to the Corsair Naval Masquerade Ball. Likewise, in the interest of furthering piracy rebelling against lawful order, I will teach the basics of ranks to anyone with enough brains to actually hold the knowledge. Remember, if you want to go, wear formal costume, and pretend to be part of the navy. Anyone in the Spades wishing to help infiltrate must be able to perform a correct salute and demonstrate ability to discern when it's appropriate. Those who cannot may help infiltrate as waiters.

Thank you.
- Marco

Edited Addendum: Dance lessons for Spades unfamiliar with waltz, samba, and tango will be held every night this week. Namur's breakdance competition comes with a reward, but this style of dance is not acceptable for naval officers, sorry Nam-chan.

I am embarrassed to say I have about three favors to ask of you.

[Locked to Grell Sutcliff]

Hello Kitten. How do you feel about getting a little vengeance, eh?

[Locked to Sebastian]

My phoenix brother and I are in the mood to spread our wings. Think you can get a babysitter that night to come have fun?

I may not be any good but I can help.

....

I would need a more proper dress though.

I think I can find you something suitable.

[But he'll have to figure out incorporating the wings.]

Ask Selphie since she wants to go on a shopping spree, eh. Tell her Marco insists on white, or light colors for you

[A soft giggle.]

We just became siblings and already you want to dress me up.

It will be fun to go out with Selphie. I will keep that in mind but I think I can find something that would be perfect. The Navy will not know what would hit them and I know how to glen information from them.

Maybe a little.

Oh?

[Not that he doubts her, but he's not sure being innocent and charming is quite enough. Then again, Marco's never really been either so...]

[Another giggle.]

I will have to let you do so then.

Yes..... You forgotten that I am a heron and a lady of refinement. We have our ways.

[Marco just laughs.] I don't doubt it for a moment.

They'll never know what hit 'em.

All those years of training to be a queen will have to be good at something!

I shall do my best not to disappoint you or Ace.

[Another laugh, and Marco wonders idly if Shirahoshi will grow up like Leanne, gentle but strong. It'd be something to see.]

I don't think you ever could, Princess.

(She goes to laugh along with him, smiling quite a bit.)

That makes my heart glad to hear. Ah, for the dress what would my budget be and would I be allow to fudge it a little in case I found the perfect dress.

I'll have to run some numbers since it also depends on what everyone else wants. Likewise, you'll be able to fudge those numbers a little more if the others don't go too all out.

[But ahhhhh his baby sister. He should totally be fair and not make it all lopsided but alkdsjalkdjaaslkdj. So hard!]

[Okay okay, he can cut down on some of his own expenditures for a few months and that should help.]

Thank you big brother! I am going to help pay for it so hopefully I won't go completely over budget. I will make sure that I will get a dress that you won't be disappointed in.

[Yes, go and spoil her. It will never end.]

I'm sure it'll be perfect, Princess.

Mou.... I wished I would have known about this ball sooner. I could have properly stocked up on what to wear in my hair at Serenes.

It's just as well, unfortunately real flowers are a little too natural for these things, the ladies almost always go with ribbons or silk flowers instead.

Really? I still need them for my hair. (She has gathered herself seedlings and saplings while in Serenes.) I will just ask for more blossums then.

As you wish, Princess.

[BOWS EVEN THOUGH IT IS JUST SOUND. He's dramatic, yoi.]
