[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.

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?

The afterlife kept you busy, hm? I wonder what it's like to truly die...

I would rather have wound up in the 'afterlife' whatever that may be. Unfortunately I'm an undead creature, sort of. I'm a strange kind of vampire.

[He pauses a little and thinks about it.]

The way I died was unpleasant and very painful. It was slow, but not as slow as it could have been I suppose, like if I had gotten sick. It might have been tolerable if I was under medical care or something like that, but that wasn't really an option.

A strange kind of vampire. As compared to whom?

Voice

[reluctantjinrou]

Other vampires. I'm a subspecies, or at least, that's what I've been told how it works, called a Jinrou. I have a heartbeat, I'm warm, I can walk around in the daytime without a problem and I don't need to feed nearly as often as regular vampires do. I can't die from a lack of blood either. It hurts, but I can't die from it.

Sounds like it has its conveniences. [Such as they may be.]

What attracted you to join the Spades?

Voice

[reluctantjinrou]

I suppose you could look at them that way.

[He hums softly as he thinks it over.]

Initially, Sora dragged me with him into the Spades. He was my first friend here and he was...he wanted to stop me from doing something that I now know to be pointless, and perhaps stupid.

I am very fortunate that this crew has a high level of tolerance for people who aren't particularly kind or social, and somehow don't even bat an eye when they learn I'm a vampire. For the most part. I suppose most of all, I got lucky. I wouldn't have it any other way now though.
