[The video feed clicks on with Ace sitting at the bar in a restaurant, apparently placing the thing on the table across from him to record. He's seen some video feed den den mushi before so he assumes this has gotta work the same way.]

Hey, guess who's back from the dead? That's right world, it's me! Who's me you might ask? Why I'm Portgas D. Ace, second division commander of the Whitebeard pirates! So since I'm going to be staying with you nice people for a while, how about telling me what are the best places to eat at in town? Preferably meat so I know where I'll probably find my little brother if he ever shows up.

I'd be very grateful for any assistance you feel like giving me in helping me settle in for a spell. Anyone who wants a friendly little chat I'm in a pretty good mood for meeting complete strangers and new friends. Don't let the pirate life intimidate you, I'm not here to pillage your women or rape your stores.

[PRIVATE TO CASTMATES: After asking some polite people at the restaurant he's hanging out at, he's started working some more of the features, figures out that there are some Pirates and people from his world here and creates his own private little feed for them.]

Well hey guys, I'm here to pillage your women and rape your stores. That's what they tried to execute me for after all, right? They almost succeeded too, but it's funny how fate works out sometimes.

Again huh? You make it sound as if I come back from the dead on a regular basis.

Perhaps you do since you're quite foolish at times!

[Those bright blue eyes narrow some. He's happy to see Ace alive and well but also annoyed.

Quite annoyed.]

Nevertheless, there's plenty who will welcome you back.

Back from the dead... or back here?

[Because he's pretty sure this is his first time ever being here... so the fact that it might not be is a little unnerving. Maybe he did die here before and he just came back from the dead with all his memories of this place missing? Was that even a thing?]

Damm this place is even weirder than I thought.

[The odd question catches Nao a little off guard.]

...You don't remember anything, do you?

I remember my name.

[Well he did say anything.]

Should I be remembering something? To answer your question, no... I have no idea who you are.

I'm surprised you do. Sometimes you seem a tad unsure even about that.

[A devious smirk settles upon the feline's face as he regards Ace. Should he toy with this poor man a little?

Maaaaaybe.

This is the perfect opportunity after all and he's not half as kind as he appears.]

I'm your Lord and Savior, and you owe me food.

BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Yeah no... he's known con artists and MARCO for far too long to take that sort of thing with more than the tiniest grain of salt.]

Okay, you're going to have to try a bit harder than that.

Aw, drats!

[See that sad little pout? That's this mangy feline trying to get a treat.]

C'mon! Give me an "A" for effort at least.

I'll give you an A for wanting to do it. You aimed way too high and grinned way too much for it to be believable. Now Marco? There's a man who can say the absolute craziest bullshit with a straight face, and if you try not to believe him? It's like he'll make the universe conspire to make it become a reality.

[Ace is so thoroughly amused.]

You did give me a good laugh though, and I do have some spending money, so why not? What's the best place to eat for quality cheap meats?

Marco, huh?

[A thoughtful hum passes through his lips as he leans back against the sofa. He's a regular old couch potato as of late, much like an actual cat. Nao gotten pretty lazy since arriving here to this odd world. Not that he regrets it either.

Nao views this whole ordeal like a well deserved vacation.]

Sounds like a real swell fella and all but I'm hungry.

[He peeks into the screen again.]

There's a dumpling spot in downtown Genessia. Pretty tasty. They're nice and cheap but full of meat.

Dumplings huh? Sure, I can go for some dumplings. You got a map or something you can show me, or do you want me to try to find my own way there?

If I show ya, does that mean I get free food? Cause if so, then we have a deal!

Alright, you got yourself a deal. Don't expect this every day though, I'm not a charity service.

[A devious grin settles briefly upon Nao's lips as he hops onto his feel. Wait, is he a boy or girl? Hard to tell since this feline likes prancing around in high heels in a red cheongsam dress. Nevertheless, Nao seems more than willing to give Ace a tour around town if it means free grub.

When he's hungry, there's only one objective in mind.]

Fine, fine. Are you at the docks with the strange hologram woman? I'll come find you.

Alright, I'll just wait for you then. Better to have someone give me a guided tour than stumbling around and getting lost in another ladies room.

[Ace is pretty flexible when it comes to liking guys or girls, some of his crew mates are pretty flexible on the whole gender thing anyways, so he doesn't really care. Though he has a certain 'radar' when it comes to finding sexually attractive people in a crowd.]

Alright! I'll be there in a moment.

[He's off to powder his nose first then make his way to the pier. Despite how off-putting it is traveling in between gates, Nao copes in order to get there quicker. He all but made Fayren his home since arriving to this odd world. It's the only city that reminded him of the White Coast because of it rustic vibe. Everywhere else is too flashy and too loud for his sensitive ears.

So when he arrives, Nao is already regretting visiting Genessia City.]

Too many people-- [He whines as he races in and out of crowd. The ninja eventually takes to the rooftops since the city streets are bustling with people. A wise decision since it shortens his trip by fifteen or so minutes.

Once he's halfway by the docks, Nao hops down and walks the rest of the way.]

Ace? Where are you?
