[voice] Selphie Story Time
Well, you'll never guess what I found? ...a love story! It was just kinda sitting around stuck to the deck of the Moon, so I picked it up to see what it was. Not a bounty poster, but a love story! It's so adorable, and amazing, and it also has me in it! Are you ready for it?
*There's a giggle before Selphie takes a small breath, calming herself and putting on her story reading voice*
It's called Sun and Moon.
Moon glanced away shyly as Sun came closer to her, not till he was touching but close enough that the creatures running a muck on their decks could cross from one to the other. He tended to get closer than was needed, from time to time. A small whistle. A happy chirp, a simple wink in her direction.
It was love. She couldn't think of any other ship out there that she would want to sail with for this long. Oh there had been others. Friends and what not. But none of them were as handsome nor as charming as Sun.
He nudged into her softly one day, a simple brush up to get her attention. It was barely a tap. She groaned at the movement and giggled.
You see - the ships are totally flirting! I knew it all along!
On deck the crews of creatures started to yell.
Someone hollered “Who let Marco drive!?”
Someone else called “I thought you were seasoned pirates!’
Someone still sighed lovingly, leaning over the railing to look down at the two of them.
That's me! That's me sighing lovingly! Tee hee!~
“Selphie, stop daydreaming and give me a hand.” Someone called to the girl, and she giggled, waved at the two ships, and bounced off. “I’m coming!”
Moon blushed, pulling slightly behind Sun, drifting near his wake but never too close, never too far. He was perfect in her eyes, in every way.
Isn't that the most adorable ship romance you have ever heard?
Please don't send me your compliments for the story - remember, it wasn't me that wrote it. And I'm not just saying that. If I'd written this, I'd totally tell everyone! But if you wanna say some nice stuff, then who knows, maybe the mystery romance writer will make themself known!
I hope you enjoyed that story, everyone!
Peace out!~

Wait..is that a joke?
[Voice]
A lot of the others haven't been around ships long enough to understand that ships have souls too.
[To be fair though, he said it in the same deadpan he jokes with. Which is the Marco way.]

[GHOST STORY TIME! And Marco's voice takes on an obviously story-telling mode.]
All ships have a soul, a heart, and spine. A well-cared for ship is as much a nakama as anyone else in the crew. But some ships are haunted. Late at night when you hear the creak of the sails, but there's no wind, or the rock of the barrels in the galley, but there's no waves rocking the ship about, they say that is the ship trying to talk to you, eh? And the harder they try, the more they can get a nyx to help them give voice. Sometimes they can be mischievous and play pranks, and sometimes they help the ship repair things all on its own. But you must never seek out to see the klabautermann himself, because that means the ship already knows she is doomed and she is desperate to tell her crew she can no longer keep them safe.

But aye. A smart ship knows how to get kappa or their klabautermann to help give voice if their desire is strong enough.
So it definitely could be one of the ships, yoi. After all, who would know better than the ship how she feels about the other? And given where you found it, maybe she was trying to pass it to the other ship, eh?
[Voice]
Wow... I didn't know about all of that...
*Her voice changes in tone as she looks up from her journal, calling out to the Moon instead*
I hope you both got to hear that story, Moon, and Sun. And I will pass on any more love stories and messages you want me to!
*Then she's back to addressing Marco*
How romantic! I'd love it if someone wrote me a love letter, or put me in a romantic little story!
[Voice]
Don't worry Sunshine, I'm sure you'll find that a more common occurrence than you expected, eh.
[Voice]
*She's trying to picture Aya sitting down at a desk somewhere, writing declarations of love. But that doesn't seem to be possible at all*
But hey, I don't mind just popping up in stories like I did in this one, even if I'm not the main romantic lead!
[Voice]
[Voice]
*Because she's pretty sure it would be weird if she wrote stories involving herself and Aya*
Do you wanna be in a story, Marco?
[Voice]
I meant metaphorically.
[Voice]
Don't I already have one?
[Voice]
Was that the way you wanted it?
[Voice]
Wait.
Are we talking about stories now? Or my love life? Cause my actual love life isn't metaphorical, you know.
[Voice]
[Voice]
*She giggles at the idea though, pleasant as it is*
I've never written anything like this before, but I guess I could try!
