[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?

[Nico Robin, eh? Well Thatch can't say he's entirely pleased but Marco knows how he feels about that. And really, whatever happens on these seas, a chance might be all you're going to get. So he just squeezes Marco to him, and presses his cheek against his head]

That's so cute. Hatchling is growing up!

[though he's teasing for the most part]

[damnit. He was being cool about this. You couldn't have let him be cool about it? He supposes it's a fair trade but-- it makes him sigh a little. He closes his eyes and accepts it, holding Marco's shoulders for a moment, feeling a bitter kind of relief go through him and the tug of the truth deep in his gut.]

Good.

[he raises his hands to Marco's jaw and opens his eyes to look into his commander's]

I'd be lost without you, Marco.

[Ace isn't enough. He loves Ace dearly but he couldn't live in this world with a broken Marco. He knows himself well enough to realize that he's not strong enough and the darkness would definitely overtake him then and he wouldn't want to stop it. Maybe it's selfish to hold on so hard, but he was still a pirate in the end.]
