Marco | One Piece
What was real? What was a dream? Did it matter? If he could have Ace and Whitebeard back, would he deny all of reality to make it so? Or was that simply surrendering to madness? Before he knew it the world he once knew slipped away like water in poorly cupped hands. He had basically been in hiding since his world had fallen apart, but being as flamboyant as he was, hiding didn't really suit him. Let them come.
So there he was, a man with a strange set of hair shaped almost like a pineapple, sitting on top of a streetlight as if that was a perfectly normal place to relax. Why or how he got up there? Well you could always ask?
no subject
So he punches the streetlamp down in one blow. How dare you be up there instead of down on the ground HUGGING HIM, YOU ASSHOLE?!
no subject
Hello ground, Marco had not missed you. Who the hell punches down streetlamps? ... Ah... someone raised by Garp, that would do it. Except that Ace is dead, so clearly this isn't Ace even if he acts like Ace and punches innocent lampposts like Ace.
...
Of course even if Marco had finally lost his mind he wouldn't have imagined up the style of crazy that was Ace which only meant one thing... this wasn't his delusional mind playing tricks on him. Marco is just giving Ace the weirdest look right now, and reaches out to poke his forehead as if he expects that to dispel whatever disguise over this person who was clearly not Ace but still somehow very Ace.
"How did you do that?" He's supposed to be dead, dead people don't punch moping spots.
no subject
"AT LEAST SAY HELLO FIRST DAMN IT!!!" Ace roared furiously, shoulders prickling with fire.
Fuck you too bro.
no subject
Dammit Ace... Marco's trying to mope here. First Thatch, then everybody else... does this mean Whitebeard and Thatch are going to wind up punching him in the face soon? God he really hopes so... and what kind of a sorry state of the world it is when he's hoping that?
"Calm yourself oh fiery one." Because trolling was Marco's default, and when his brain was too fucked up to even comprehend what was even going on anymore, that's what he did.
no subject
"'M not dead yet, so don't kill me again," because moping phoenixes are a terrible thing, and as much as Ace would like to think it wasn't his fault... he pretty much knows it is. "Otherwise I'm gonna kill you, and you have to go through hell to get back like me and Ikki did. So there." Except he wouldn't actually send Marco anywhere, because Marco was the bestest, and therefore no hell allowed ever. Except the one Marco was already in, oops.
Now give him fluffy blue fiery feathery hugs please and thank you.
Eh fuck it, and Ace noms on Marco's shoulders a little. He missed you. A lot. And it was terrible. ALL THE WAITING. AND DO YOU KNOW HOW PATIENT ACE IS? SO NOT VERY! THAT'S HOW MUCH!
"Is everything really that bad now?" frown frown frown. He fucked up big huh? Boo....
no subject
"Shouldn't you have a great big hole in your chest? Or maybe some sort of scar? Hell, maybe even some sort of see through ghost thing?" He died, Ace even seemed to be aware of the fact that he died, and that Marco's life was pretty much suffering. He didn't want Ace to know the kind of hell he's been through without him, it wasn't really his fault! Ace was just being Ace, that's all there is to it, and nothing would ever have changed that... so why was he crying?
"Stupid... fiery..." He can't handle... these stupid emotions... and all this stupid... "Would you stop biting me for fuck's sake? I get enough of that from the others."
no subject
"I couldn't let that bastard keep the hole in my tattoo, come on. Give me some credit, dumby-fluff-butt." Yes, because it was all a matter of will. No really, it actually was here.
"Welcome to Nautilus, it's a higher plane of consciousness, not the afterlife, so you better not be dead!!" Or he would kill you again. Also notice how VERY VERY QUICKLY Ace went from all smiles to ready to punch Marco in the face again. Has to be Ace, right? "And no one else is here." Of the dead. He'll figured out how to say that soon. "I mean of the crew. Pops' crew. Some of Luffy's crew is here, they're so cute! Stupid rookies." He will nom aggressively on them too.... and does. A lot. :| Pity them, Marco. For they have put up with over three years of Ace including his death. Sound familiar?
"Do you want to walk?" Now he asks. But if Marco switches into a bird, he'll just cuddle him instead. Whichever, yo.
no subject
He kicked back, super chillaxed, acting like he owned this spot and Ace was carrying him simply because he was lazy, and Ace was his carrying boy. Carrying boys are all the rage you know, especially the bare chested burst into flames kind. "Why would I want to walk? You tired already? I swear, good help is so hard to come by these days."
Whether or not Ace punched him, dropped him, or continued to carry him, Marco was totally going to act as if this was perfectly natural and keep talking. "So which of the straw hat pirates are kicking around? I'd love to have another zoan or two I could pal around with."
no subject
Nope, this is Marco, and therefore, it was best just go to with it. "Nah!" Ace beamed cheerfully. Marco is the bestest ever. Proof of which is right there, right now, with Marco letting Ace carry him.
"Sorry, no Chopper. I wish we did have him. He's a doctor, so he might help keep Zoro from doing anything stupid. So Zoro's one, and Sanji's the other. And Robin and Nami and Luffy were all here in the past, but not right now. And I accidentally kidnapped and adopted a bird-sis! You'll like her even though she seems kind of weak, she's kind of like Luffy, just strong in different ways. Oh and and AND, I have Ikki! He's a phoenix. So sorry, too bad, you're not the only phoenix in my life anymore." You may kill him now.
He doesn't bring up Asato, or Akito & Agito who are missing because it hurts too god damn much and frankly he expects that Marco will only be there a day, because fuck you that's why, but it's okay, he'll take a day too. There's a crossed out A in his tattoo on his arm now though. And it's not for himself.
He's also not sure whether to explain about Rose. Maybe that's a surprise he'll keep under his hat until later. "And if you hit on Rose, I'll kill you." ALL THE SMILES.
Also so much for holding back? Ace is made of fail, even to himself.
no subject
"The cook and the swordsman, well at least I can look forward to a properly cooked meal. A bird can only eat bugs and flowers for so long without remembering that people food is a bit more satisfying." ... Don't say anything Ace, he'll totally shank you if you make any wisecracks and he's already looking for an excuse after the Phoenix wisecrack. "I think I may have met your bird sister, if she's the white heron."
"Rose you say? Is my little brother smitten? Do you want me to help you write love letters and dress in a cupid outfit to deliver it for you?"

WHAT.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

He is stunned. STUNNED. And impressed. Marco for ruler of the universe.

Re: Marco | One Piece
What's wrong? Something she can do to help?
no subject
"Hey there little lady. What's a beautiful girl like you doing all the way out here?" She likely could feel his sense of loss even if she didn't have her heron laguz abilities.
no subject
Though, it does leave one to wonder why someone would be sitting up there. It cannot possibly be very comfortable.
"Is there are reason you are up there, or are you just enjoying the view?"
no subject
"If I wanted to enjoy the view, I probably would have picked a higher spot. I thought maybe I wanted to be alone since there isn't much room up here for anyone to join me, but if I wanted more privacy, I suppose I would have picked a spot that was a little less public. I guess I chose this spot because I was hoping someone might come and find me... Wishful thinking, since the someone I'm hoping for is long gone." He was looking out into the distance but he clearly was looking further than what could be seen with the naked eye, looking back into past memories and more.
"Ever lost your family when you were trying you hardest to protect them?"
no subject
She's quiet for a few seconds before answering his question. "I am all too familiar with that feeling. Only it happened a long time ago for me." Eleven thousand years ago to be exact. Long enough for the pain of it to turn into a dull throb.
"Who are you hoping to see here?"
no subject
"Happened to me once before too... it took me most of my life to finally feel like I belonged somewhere again, and somehow the prospect of surviving that long again is depressing in and of itself." He barely remembered his life before Whitebeard anymore, he'd tried to block out most of those painful memories. Did it really matter anymore? Without Whitebeard or Ace, or the rest of his brothers... life was a painful memory.
"I doubt it really matters."
no subject
She shrugs and leans against the lamppost. "You never know. The rules that normally apply to one's world do not apply here. That includes the rules of death." She's here after all. By all rules of logic she should be dead after that explosion. But here she is, breathing again. "The one you are looking for may be here, even if they passed on back where you are from."
A look back up at him. "I am Rose, by the way."
no subject
He was looking down from his lofty perch, sort of amused by her casually leaning against the spot he chose to mope. "I'm not sure if that's reassuring or not. If they know they're dead I might have an even harder time dealing with them, because they'd know I failed them. I don't really want or deserve their forgiveness for that." Yet in spite of saying that, she'd managed to give him a glimmer of hope.
"I'm Marco." He gave her a little wave from his lofty perch, debating whether he should come down, or invite her to sit with him in another lofty perch of some sort.
no subject
But then he says his name which causes her to arch a brow some. Didn't Ace have a brother named Marco? She doesn't know much about him beyond what the fireman has told her, and sometimes she feels like she can't believe everything he says. For all she knows this is a different Marco. It is a common name in some areas, right? So for now she will not say anything about Ace.
no subject
He does hop down from his lofty perch to lean against the other side of the lamppost. So he managed to miss the arched eyebrow at his name, though he's not sure if he'd have caught the meaning to it even if he saw it. "Well since you're one of the only people I've met who seems to have a solid head on her shoulders, how do you feel about being my tour guide? I'll owe you a favor if you like, which isn't something I give out very often."

Quack?
[Although it actually spoke the word quack rather than actually quacking.]
