[Audio] ALL THE DRAMATICS! A cry for anarchy! This is war!

[fierybluebird]

Pirates of the world, RISE UP I say!

This world claims we do not belong here! The people of this world say we have no home, no place on these seas, in this world! I disagree! [Oh lord, Marco's going full steam here.] My world had no use for monsters like us either! My world made it a sin and a crime for some of us to even be born. Well, to hell with that, say I! ARE WE PIRATES OR ARE WE COWARDS?!

I FOR ONE, BEAR THE FLAG OF MY FATHER AND BROTHERS! LET US TAKE OVER THESE SEAS, AND CLAIM OUR PLACE IN A WORLD ONCE AND FOR ALL! LET US SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE WILL NOT BE DENIED OR IGNORED!

Let us show the world that this era is OURS!

[AND WITH THAT: he lets out a huge phoenix cry of victory.] SCRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[We now return you to your daily journal entries of everything else completely different.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm glad you understand.

[Sadly Naesala, that was exactly Marco's goal. He wants to weed out the "pirates" without the courage or conviction.]

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[There's a moment where he takes a very deep breath. While he rubs at one temple.]

So, I must ask. World domination? Full subjugation of the military? Tell me the drama of your shriek is proportionate to this revelation.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

[A head tilt. He starts trying to carefully choose his words, before remembering he can just speak bird freely to Naesala. THANK FUCK. SO MUCH EASIER.]

Weeding out the weakling rookies without the strength or conviction to be the true pirates with the full comprehension behind such a word.

Two of my brothers are dead back in our world, this one is their home now and I want to make it so, and more, make sure they know it.

I might also be trying to rile up the navy sympathizers, particularly within our own ranks, and I can no longer abide keeping quiet simply to avoid ruffling weaklings' feathers.

A hurricane is coming, my friend, and they'd better be ready for it.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

I...see. I admit that was less objectionable than anticipated.

[not that he doesn't think it was unnecessary regardless, but]

Still, perhaps something that might've come across as sane if conveyed without theatrics, but such enthusiasm might help your...cause. It's nice to hear you're more serious about this than you let on.

How well do you really think it will work? There's a difference between flat-out provoking and sniffing out the bad eggs.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

I prefer provocation. I figured a verbal, seemingly haphazard approach to it would be dismissed by those in the middle, and provide less unnecessary confrontation than if I went about it less dramatically.

As strange as it may sound, I took a leaf from Ace's tree for this.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[about the same level of bird deadpan as Marco: ]

No. Really?

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

It's even more fun than it looks, you should try it.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

Ah, I'd rather like to keep my sanity, actually.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

The hatchling's way out.

[Just teasing though.]

Voice; 1/2

[kingkilvas]

Is it? Well, if you put it that way.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[mocking raven caws]

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

[THROWS HIS HEAD BACK AND LAUGHS.]

[This is a good day.]

You're a good friend, King.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[Well, that's certainly something he hasn't been told in decades. If ever.]

[squawk] Ahah. That right? [no] Good to know mocking is what does it for you.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

Oh, you haven't heard my brothers plotting against me?

We get one more and already they're planning more pranks than I can keep up with.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

No, I've noticed. And I've planned ahead to steer clear of your insane family of pranksters.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

[A laugh.]

Haruta is the prankiest, and no doubt instigating the others.

It makes me happy.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[He's...he's going to take that as a warning.]

I can tell, yes. [chuckles] And I can bet it's part of what led you to this outburst of yours. I imagine any familial acquisition would, in this place. If you intend to make it your home.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

I do.

If one more can come, so can others.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

You know, I didn't think I'd ever hear such desire for the additional kidnapping of loved ones.

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

There's not a single brother of mine who wouldn't wish to be here if they knew, eh.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

Really? Even if it meant leaving behind everything else they've ever known?

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

This world is not so different from Paradise in my world and there's a rare opportunity present here that isn't at home.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

[nevermind the fact that he thinks Marco just straight-up called this place a paradise]

Your brothers' lives returned, you mean?

[in avian, just in case that's a secret or something]

Voice;

[fierybluebird]

[Whistles right back.]

Exactly, yoi.

It's not something to be taken lightly.

Besides which, back home right now everything's a mess. This place is like a vacation with the Captain who always should have been.

Voice;

[kingkilvas]

Yes, well. I can understand wanting to avoid a...mess.

It's an admirable goal. But you realize most of us, even most of your own crew, are still going to want to return to their own worlds. If or when the time calls for it. We're not exactly set on making it our home as your family is.
