As Captain // Voice

[fierybluebird]

Since you lot of scalliwags were actually crazy enough to elect me as captain, the first order of business is a drinking and coloring contest. No, I'm not joking. All pictures will be judged by the wide audience network on the journals. They must be colorful, because everything is better with sparkles.

Second order is Thatch is in charge of booty patrol. No, not treasure. Booty.

Third is Sunshine gets to do whatever she wants. Promotion to Princess of Universe, yoi.

Fourth is whoever makes Ikki smile first -- genuine smile, not pushing his cheeks back which I don't recommend or he might bite you, gets a fifty dub reward.

Speaking of which, we are actually going to do something to make money now, now just sit around spending it all the damn time. I swear Ace and Pops go through gold like it's sake. You can all suggest anything you'd like, or blatantly refuse to do, but if the ideas aren't fun, I'll just take the booty patrol out and have them work it. [What the fuck does that mean? No. No. Don't ask.]

And lastly now that I have the journal's attention, [And to much surprise and irony, Marco's tone finally shifts out of his eternal damnable deadpan to something almost smooth and amused. This can't be good.] I'd like to speak with a certain gorgeous redhead and anyone else interested in pirate alliances between crews, eh?

[Oh and if you thought he was done? No. He submits the first coloring entry.... because of course he does.]



[Well you must admit it is.... colorful.]

[He sounds a little confused and a lot like a girl.]

When did you become captain? Also, what is that a picture of?

[Oh god Marco will die of cute.]

This weekend. Ace is gone so I'm teaching them a lesson.

It's a hand turkey! With Ace's hat.

[thatched]

I think my eyes are bleeding. [guess who is not drawing and is also a little very sloshed? This guy.] I'll grab your booty any time.

voice

[fierybluebird]

You better. Otherwise your captain will be insulted, yoi.

[redcinemareel]

[She's not even going to comment on that picture. Is he on hallucinogens?]

You forgot vivacious.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Maybe you ought to refresh my memory, yoi. It seems fuzzy. It must be all the salt air.

[windofthephoenixtemple]

That's a very... Interesting picture you drew.

voice;

[fierybluebird]

Aye, thank you. I know it will be difficult to beat.

[No no, he knows he purposely set the bar low.]

[behindthefakesmile]

I think you could be a good artist, but you need some work.

[fierybluebird]

Not enough color?

[He almost seems so serious about it too....]

[sinister_blade]

[It hurts her eyes...]

You know, drinking and drawing doesn't end well.

[fierybluebird]

Do better then.

[Voice]

[om_nom_namur]

Like hell I'm gettin' drunk t' draw shit.

[What an exemplary leader.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Come on Nam-chan! It'll be fun!

[Voice] [Private]

[thetruehistorian]

I suppose that solves a few of your previous issues. How are you holding up?

[Voice] [Private]

[fierybluebird]

[There's a sigh, and Marco closes the book to drink a little. Ah the fun part of pretending to be ever eternally unfazed. He should be keeping up the act with Robin too, so why can't he?]

[It takes him awhile to find his words again.]

Better than I expected.

But truth told, that's not saying much.

It's like having one less star in the sky. The sky is still so dazzling you don't notice if you don't want to, but it's always there, just a hole where a star should be. And no moon ever again, eh? There's still a lot of other stars, so it's not like being alone, but should the rest of the constellations notice the gap, that would only make it worse, eh?

This is why I didn't want him to be my captain in the first place. [It's bitter and petty and he feels childish for admitting it, but it's true too. Was there ever going to be enough of Marco who could just let go and enjoy the moment while he had it without worrying about this day? And even now, can he really truly acknowledge that Ace is gone again? It seems more like Marco is just babysitting. Not nearly as torturous as he acts, and yet....]

[Not the same as having his own crew either.]

[Voice]

[originaldragoon]

Drinking and coloring contest? [She knows that he said he was serious but she is still hoping that he is joking.]

Dare I ask why?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Christening.

*There's a whole load of giggling going on before Selphie finally speaks*

Aye, aye, Captain! And don't you worry - I take all captain's orders super seriously. I won't let you down!

I can put glitter on my colouring too, right?

And -

*This next bit is whispered, like she's a little embarrassed about saying it*

And I'll do my best...with the fourth order of business.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

You better! The more glitter the better.

Also how would you like to be second mate? Selphie, Second mate, it's got a nice ring to it, eh?

voice;

[anelegantmyth]

Ow, my eyes...

voice;

[fierybluebird]

Oh come on, it's not that bad.

voice;

[seakingbait]

Um... is Marco-chin okay?

[Because if you're not you might be the weirdest captain ever which is saying something because look who she sails with.]

voice;

[fierybluebird]

What's wrong with a drinking, and coloring contest?

[What's RIGHT with it?]

[crankyshark]

Captain, huh? Congrats

[hes not going to comment on that drawing. And he thought he was bad...]

[fierybluebird]

Thank you. I think.

[song_princess]

I believe that congratulations are in order then, Marco.

[fierybluebird]

Thank you Princess. Dare I ask whom you voted for?
