Sky Islands [Voice] (on the 7th)

[fierybluebird]

We're on a whatever they call Sky Islands here. It's funny because I was just telling Thatch I really wanted to go to one. All while forgetting how much Namur hates them. With good reason too, he can't swim in clouds, anymore than I can fly in the Fishman Island water half. Still, he's been a real bro about putting up with it to humor me and Ace, and the others, eh?

So it got me thinking again, about the kind of extreme things we do for those we care about, eh?

Now me, I wouldn't think twice before going to war with an entire universe if I had to, but what about the rest of you lot, eh? What kind of crazy things would you do to prove you love your family, or maybe crazy things you put a line at?

I've had to go through some shit. Though usually it was to clean up messes I was responsible for in the first place.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Ah.

Usually any shit I have to cleanup is fallout from my brothers' actions. My own stupidity's fallout is usually pretty instantaneous at least, but sometimes that can be like tumbling dominoes, eh.

[hiken]

[Sometimes, Ace got handed ice cream and completely forgot that he was a fire man and then it melted all over his hands and turned crusty and gross. This was a moment.]

...Ugh. Marco. [Ace tapped the journal so he could at least talk.]

I got ice cream all over my hands.

[He said as if Marco would do a thing about it.]

Audio;

[fierybluebird]

So lick it off. Like that song about the bumblebee. But if you throw up because you have other stuff on your hands, don't expect me to clean it.

[reluctantjinrou]

Well, I chose to orchestrate the death of all the vampires. It probably doesn't prove anything to the person I lost, but it was all I could do for justice.

[He seems to think about it, so there's a pause here.]

I can't really say where the line is. If I reach it, I'll know.

[fierybluebird]

And would you share that knowledge with the rest of us?

Voice

[elissacousland]

I am not supposed to speak of the sacrifice that I made in the name of saving the known world, but I suppose you could say that I have done and will do some rather insane things, if necessary.

[Then, in a warmer, almost flirtatious tone of voice.]
Hello, Marco. How are you?

Voice

[fierybluebird]

[That's.... a good question.]

[He's better thanks to his date with Robin, but that also means his reflex to flirt and lie and bluff and pretend nothing has been fazing him and never will, is a little extra muddled.]

It's been a long Spring. [A small laugh.] How about you, sweetheart?

And if I may ask though, were you trying to save the world, or just people you care about?

[voice]

[darknessinside]

What if they're things we're not exactly proud of?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

That's exactly the kind I'm looking for.

If you were proud of them, then you might have done them for other reasons than just for the sake of someone you love, aye?

[om_nom_namur]

If y' think I'mma feel any damn better 'bout this shitty island jus' cuz y' make me sound all noble an' shit yer wrong. Damn, how the hell's the boat even stayin' up on this thing? Ain't even like the damn sky islands back home where the clouds is solid an' shit, no heeeeellllllll no. Jus' a bunch a freakyass weather 'round here.

[Namur might have made the mistake of poking his head over the rail and, seeing nothing but mist beneath the ship, gave himself a healthy case of vertigo.]

Shit ain't right.

How long we stuck up here 'gain?

[fierybluebird]

[Dawwwwww Marco is too stupidly happy to hear Namur bitch and moan.]

[It's so cute.]

[So cute.]

Do you want a tummy rub?

[voice]

[yourotherleft]

Ohh, you actually made it to one?

[excite! And ignoring the question at large because the whole damn world knows about the Tower of Justice and what the Straw Hats would do]

What's it like?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Pretty nice, actually, eh.

That might just be because there aren't haki users trying to assassinate us right and left though.

[voice]

[theartofboom]

...I...try not to accidentally kill the people I care about?

[This is kind of a new development though. Chandra is not a people person.]

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

That's important.

[And for once, it's not even deadpan, he just straight up means it, because he knows it's hard to control fire and tempers.]

I told you how Pops was like that, aye?

[voice]

[hoodwinking]

I would kill everyone in the entire world.

[No hesitation in that answer. If her Grandmother told her that everyone in the world was a target...]

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

A lady after my own heart.

Voice

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

I destroyed my clan and had my brother killed for the one most important to me.... The strength of my loyalty to them is unwavering.

Voice

[fierybluebird]

You killed your family for whom?

[written]

[bitty_blue_brother]

I don't think I could do something like go to war...

[Asbel probably would. He was practically halfway there, challenging Bryce to a fight for Richard's sake. Not to mention repeatedly disobeying Aston.]

[written]

[fierybluebird]

Most people wouldn't, if it's any consolation.

voice;

[havesomedeath]

I dunno... I can't really think of anything I wouldn't do for the people I care about!

voice;

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like you can understand my point of view then, eh?

[Audio]

[crackpotcrocker]

[What's that hammering the sound of a new worker who doesn't know when to stop working before giving a maniacal laugh.]

I still can't believe what I, did for Codi.

[There's a short groan afterwards.]


[Crocker's eyes seem to narrow behind his glasses and goggles.]

...Wait. What do you mean about you flying?

[Audio]

[fierybluebird]

[Deadpan.]

What do you think I mean?

[Sorry Denny, he's in a trolling mood.]

[thatched]

[comes up behind Marco and covers his commander's eyes with a hand]

I slept with an uncertain phoenix because I was a dirty old man in a dirty young man's body.

[kisses his ear] Forgive me?

1/3

[fierybluebird]

[Grabs Thatch by the neckerchief, tightens it up around Thatch's throat as if he's about to choke the life out of him, pulls him forward as if to headbutt him and--]

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I think being on the surface world is enough proof to begin with.

voice;

[fierybluebird]

Aye, probably so. But it's at least a little fun, right?
