[Ace is camped on his favorite spot on the beach of Genessia on another pile of driftwood and such that he's been collecting for various Ace related reasons. He doesn't look really happy, though. And he even sounds pissed, voice tight and clipped.]

I'm looking to start a pirate crew. Not sure what the ultimate goal is but for right now adventure, breaking laws, maybe some arson and never paying for anything you eat ever.

If you're interested come and apply in person.

You know where I am.

[it's almost as if he has ulterior motives for this post. But what could they be?]

[yay bird cuddles.

Ace won't say he's been looking forward to this but he sort of was. All the fluffs and rubs on Marco because he's a bird]

You're too cute to eat so...

[rubs cheek on.

Not that he was entertaining that possibility for a split second but he is hungry]

Want to be in my crew?

[fierybluebird]

[Flicks his tail.]

[Normally, no.]

[Ace was supposed to join the Sparklebirds, anyway.]

[And Marco had no intention of being a Spade.]

[He just chirps indecisively.]

[Sell him on it and give him more tummy rub cuddles.]

[And don't eat him, that makes him want to flee.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[gives him tummy rub cuddles.

And he doesn't know about the Sparklebirds or else he forgot]

You can be captain.

[he doesn't want to be anymore. He just wants to have fun and invite people and have massive parties and let Marco make all the decisions so he can disobey them if he wants.

Like old times.]

[fierybluebird]

[OH WELL IN THAT CASE!]

[Chirps and nods yes.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[best phoenix big brother ever.

Buries his face in Marco's chest fluff. It's so soft.

His stomach growls.

He chews on it a little]

Let's go kill something.

[he's hungry]

[fierybluebird]

[Anything to get you to stop nomming on him. You make him very nervous when you do that.]

[Marco chirps and fluffs up extra in agreement, waiting for Ace to move him to his hat or shoulders as Ace decides what to go hunt.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[he takes off his hat and puts a Marco on his head and then a hat on the Marco so it's like one of those hats with a light of that light was a glowing blue fluffy phoenix]

Do I want an animal or a fish... or bird...

[decisions decisions]

[fierybluebird]

[Is a part of Ace's head now practically, let's run!]

Fish or mammal or reptile, no bird. NO BIRD!

[orangeoutlaw]

[runs!]

Lizard.

[he hadn't considered that]

I haven't seen any ones worth eating.

[fierybluebird]

[Relaxes.]

Alligator is tasty, yoi.

[orangeoutlaw]

Have you seen any swamps around here? [he hasn't stumbled on one yet but]

[fierybluebird]

[Head tilt.]

Maybe there are iguanas--

No wait, Espio might get sad.

Try the river.

[orangeoutlaw]

Alright

[runs toward the river]

But damn I've got to stop meeting so many zoans. Aren't iguanas predators anyway?

[fierybluebird]

[Flicks his tail.]

Maybe, yoi. I think they just eat bugs though.

[orangeoutlaw]

Espio just eats bugs?

[....well to each their own but...]

I think I want to try and find a gator instead. [he's into lean meat at the moment. Something gamey]

[fierybluebird]

He eats other things too.

Good I want some alligator too! [He has faith in you Sparky.]

[orangeoutlaw]

Yeah? What's he like? [they are at the banks of the river now because shut up they are and he wanders through a patch of reeds until he finds a great place to crouch and peer in the water for alligators.

He might have to send Marco out as bait but he's not sure about that yet]

[fierybluebird]

He likes cake.

And turnips.

And he's mischievous. And he's like the rest of your brothers, silly.

A little more justice-y.

[orangeoutlaw]

[well he meant food wise but that's fine]

So a turnip cake?

[and speaking of justice-y]

By the way Smoker is here but don't kill him because he's fun.

[he's not going to stop any fights that might happen of course but you know just don't kill him the whole way]

[fierybluebird]

Maybe. You'd have to ask him.

[Moves to sit next to Ace instead and changes back to human, arching an eyebrow.]

Wouldn't he be more fun if I killed him?

What rank is he anyway? [All he remembers is something something marine, one of Kuzan's men maybe.]

[orangeoutlaw]

[aww no more headlamp.

He shrugs because he doesn't know what rank he is but]

Nah. He's not bad for a Marine. [scans the open water] He can look after people here.

[fierybluebird]

People like who?

[orangeoutlaw]

[he tugs Marco into a one armed hug]

Adela. They really like each other. [and he kind of ships them so shhh]

[fierybluebird]

That's disgusting!

[HE IS SO GROSSED OUT ACE.]

[He also thinks of Smoker as like Garp's age. And ewwy.] He could be her grandfather! You should really stop that.

[orangeoutlaw]

Huh? Why? It only is if they do anything. [like sit more than a few feet apart] And they're justice types.

[...but]

Is Smoker really that old?
