[Rose was on the Moon, taking a break from all the centaur stuff and doing her chores, when she found one of the mechanical birds on board. She, of course, listened to its song, enjoying the tune until the end. What came after the song, caused her to go pale after hearing a voice she thought she would never hear again. It shook her up quite a bit.

[She tries to keep her voice even when she makes the post, despite what she is feeling.]

Since strange things have been appearing as of late, has anyone else found a mechanical bird? It sings quite nicely, but after listening to it, I am not sure if I want to throw it out or not. If you have found one and listened, you may know what I am talking about, but I suspect what it says will vary from person to person.

[Rose can be found on the deck of the Sun, leaning against the railing stilling holding the bird she found. Every now and then she will list to it sing again, and if someone is close enough, they can hear a man's voice come from it at the end of the song.]

I'll have to take a look then, yoi.

I am on deck with one if you want to hear for yourself.

Aye, please. If you don't mind.

I'll be there in a bit, yoi.

[And true to his word, he flits over, shifting from half bird to fully human as he lands, finishing up the rest of the path with walking.]

Are you all right? There are quite a few people from my past that no matter how much I'd give to hear them again, it'd shake me up a bit, eh?

[she nods some.]

It is heart wrenching, but I am glad that I got to hear his voice again.

[she holds out the bird to him.]

[He gives her a soft grin, nods, and holds his arm out for the bird to perch on, before cocking his head to the side like a bird himself to listen.]

[Rose lets the little bird hop over to Marco before leaning back against the railing to wait for his reaction. She can barely hear the song the bird sings before it will give its message.]

[It's Marco, so his expression doesn't change much at first, but after a little bit, it's obviously he's touched, and he closes his eyes.]

Papa...

[She bows her head some, knowing that it has to be emotional for him.]

So it is your father that you hear....

[Nods and smiles softly, eyes still closed.]

He's laughing with Ace.

The two of them were a lot alike you know? More than even I was.

Based on what little I know about him, it does not surprise me that Ace was a lot like him.

[Still grinning.]

Aye. Pops wasn't as hot-headed, of course, but they both had the same effect on people.

[She gives a slight chuckle]

Like being able to unite such an odd group of people?

[Nods.]

And you either loved him, or wanted to kill him. And sometimes both.

He sounds like a very interesting man.

He was frustrating, as all captains are.

But I can't imagine anyone more important.

Well you do consider him your father. It is not surprising that he would be so important to you. I thought the same about my father when I was younger.

Perhaps.

But I'm hardly young enough to grow out of it yet, eh?

I think most people never grow out of it.

[She holds out her hand so that the bird can hop back onto it.]

[The bird goes back with an easy hop.]

Ah, I'd hope so.

Although I guess importance doesn't stop some from betraying even that which they feigned loyalty to, eh?

[In which Marco remains deadpan despite the clearly dark thoughts.]

[Rose arches a brow some.]

It sounds like you speak from experience.

[Rubs the back of his head.]

Teach.

We had... a brother. [But his eyes narrow and darken at the word for once.]

He wanted power. He hid in Pops' shadow to avoid drawing attention.

His name alone is enough to set any of my brothers on edge now. He's the one who killed Thatch.

Killed Thatch?

I did not realize that Thatch was supposed to be dead in your world.

[Nods.]

That's why Thatch hates his darkness ability. Teach killed him for it, and then used it to kill our Pops.

I cannot say that I blame him...
