[Voice] A warning to the people: This is war

[fierybluebird]

This goes out to everyone.

Things are heating up a bit lately, wouldn't you say? I don't know what Jones is planning, but it seems to be big. I would like more time, but given the end of all things, I shall still always want more time. It's the nature of the beast, as you will.

So I'm going to take more risks. This might result in destroying the universe. [He sounds unbelievably calm about that.] Even if it all works perfectly, it's going to fracture a lot, because I'm trying something drastic with fusing things more permanently that weren't meant meant to fused I expect.

If that goes against your wishes, this is your last chance to stop me. I tell you, not because I think you can, but because this literally will be your last chance to try.

Robin, I'm sorry. I never could work out the memories. They're too intricately involved in human psychology and magic. If you have anything left to try out, I'll try with you but for now, you'll just have to trust us.

StrawHat, yoi... The alliance is still in full effect. I'll follow your lead, eh?

To everyone else: where do you want to go?

For shit's sake Marco! Yer damn right it's against my wishes! You had to do this now? Right now? When the sun's goin' down and there's gonna be another night of zombies?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Of course.

Can you think of a better time?

[anelegantmyth]

Don't.

[fierybluebird]

Too late.

[meatthefuture]

Mmm.

[he considers this. And then after a while...]

Is there any other way to do it that's not gonna take that risk?

[fierybluebird]

None I can find.

I've been trying for sometime, but if we don't try soon, we might never get the chance. It's or nothing at this rate.

Sorry, yoi.

It seems about the only thing I haven't tried is the one thing I'm fairly certain will work. [And oh, does it hurt admitting defeat like this.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

What, really?

What's that?

[It's not that he thinks she was holding out on him, he's more surprised that he wasn't able to instantly guess where her mind is going with this, which makes him, although not nervous per se, certainly curious.]

[Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Not like I got much to lose, at this point. Jones is bad news not just for this world, but every world. I'll defer to your judgement, boss man.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[Not that it shows much in his voice but that gets a pretty warm grin out of him.]

That still leaves the question. If you could anywhere, do you have a place you'd like to go?

[Voice]

[vanitas_veci]

Sounds like fun.

Shiki's gone, by the way.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

So it would seem. I'm sorry for your loss. Care to join me in wreaking havoc, having fun, and getting to exist as long as I can drag it out?

Maybe you can talk my idiot son into living a bit longer.

[voice]

[booyaka_boom]

Marco...?

*So much concern in this little voice*

...is this really a good idea?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Probably not, but I already got it started so that I won't change my mind. I've given it a lot of thought every day since I first arrived Sunshine.

And if I get it right, your wishes will all come true, eh?

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

We need to talk.

[Because her crew is dwindling, and she sounds as if she can't deny it anymore.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Get on board.

I'll give you my room, you can share with your man in red. It locks the best because otherwise I tend to kick first and ask questions later. I'm going to try to get the Moon back since Shiki is unable to fill it, and not around to sail it, and I'm going to talk with the Straw Hats to see what they want to do. Don't let Thatch do anything dangerous, don't worry about Sunshine flexing her muscles, she just wants to make it clear she rightfully earned her place in my life.

Thanks for everything Gorgeous.

[Grell mentioned that, and Marco hadn't forgotten. Nor his multi-fold offer for a merger. He just got busy getting everything going. Feel free to yell at him for what little good it will do.]

[There's a light tapping on the journal because Roxas is taking his time, thinking before he speaks.]

Why would you destroy everything?

[His tone is mixed between dismay, frustration and a little bit of desperation because he doesn't want to be confronted with this.]

Voice 1/2

[fierybluebird]

[Uguuuu...]

[Kid...]

[The one person other than Robin that can make him be honest without even trying, even when it's worse for them both that way.]

I don't want to destroy anything, Owlet.

I want it to go perfectly. I want you to come with me, us to go pick up Lea if he still wants to come or you make him come, and then sail through the stars on a greater adventure than anyone has ever dreamed of, even Davy Jones' himself, eh?

[But even phoenixes get scared sometimes. And right now Marco's terrified. What he did he can't see all of. He's kicking in the dark. Did he hit the right points? What if he missed something?]

If I got it wrong, will anyone even know I got it wrong? That's what scares me the most, eh? But I have to try, because I don't have anything left to try first and things are going too fast for me to buy more time.

Voice 2/2

[fierybluebird]

Sorry, eh.

[voice]

[om_nom_namur]

Seriously, I'm- ugh! [There's a thump.] -Fightin' these shitty dead folk all 'lone up here an' yer- oof! [Another thump, followed by a few more.] Yer somewhere yappin' at the shitty journals? Get outta there y' filthy wretch, who the hell said y' could come aboard??? [There's a grunt and a loud thump, and a weird moan from something not entirely human anymore. Namur nearly roars, and there's more sounds of impact, then a distant splash. He's out of breath when he returns.]

The hell're y' doin'?

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Either fixing time and space, or breaking it further. I'm not really sure yet which.

Are you truly in such need of help? From zombies of all things?

[Voice]

[thatched]

[said quietly. Where is he? Well out of sight and possibly off of ship. In either case he doesn't mean to be found]

Maybe it's best to let the dead lie, mate.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[He is going to find you. He is going to find you, punch you in the face, headbutt the both of you together, and kiss you that's what.]

Where are you?

[He doesn't sound like he's in a rage or even angry, just deadpan, as always, but it doesn't take Thatch's level of depth to know that Marco is absolutely seething.]

[doomkitty]

Destroying the universe? What are you talking about...

[Venour over here wondering if Marco even knows he's his captain. He hasn't seen his face yet. Maybe whatever he was busy with regarding this post is the reason for that]

Maybe I can come ask you in person.

[fierybluebird]

I'm heading up to the Crow's Nest, can you climb? I have a couple of bottles here but if your favorite is in the galley, it's on you to fetch it.

My Pops had a rule for me to never drink alone, eh.

[crankyshark]

[Thash doesn't really get this...he's talking about destroying everything yet asking where people want to go? He's just going to ignore the parts he doesn't understand, mostly because he instinctively trusts Marco]

I want to stay here. Or go to Faye's world...I want to go where she goes, wherever that is.

[fierybluebird]

If I understood correctly, Faye travels between planets, like my family between islands, does she not?
