MARCO RETURNS JUST IN TIME [Backdated to to the 12th] Action/BBS

[fierybluebird]

[Marco has been on a very very long SeeD mission. He's not beat up, because any physical damage would be healed without seastone, and it's not like anyone around him can do haki, but he does look worse for the wear. Completely exhausted comes to mind. Dirty, and even as blue wings settle down back into arms, Marco looks unsteady on his feet. By the time he gets the hang of his new laptop, he just wants to curl up and sleep for the next century.]

Yo, I'm back. Ready to graduate Espio? Good luck everyone going with him.

Kitten, I've got a Valentine's Present for you before you leave.

Everyone else, fill me in on what I miss. If you need me, come get me before the shower and hundred years' sleep.

-- SeeD Marco

So that's where you've been? Good to have you back!

-Gakupo

[fierybluebird]

Much appreciated Plum! Good to be back.

[eggplantallergy]

We should really catch up when you're rested.

[fierybluebird]

All right, you can fill me in on everything.

[eggplantallergy]

No problem. Just let me know where you would like to meet.

[fierybluebird]

Anywhere you want.

[eggplantallergy]

How about the quad?

[fierybluebird]

Sure, see you in a couple of hours. [Or... twelve.] I'll send you a message, eh?

[eggplantallergy]

Sure. Take your time.

[fierybluebird]

[Later after sleep and such.]

Yo, Gakupo. Meet you outside when you're ready, okay?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

I'll see you there.

[Gakupo will just mosey on over to the quad, humming a song with small interjections of lyrics. What a life he leads.]

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

[A beautiful one that Marco almost envies! Music :O]

[Anyways, Marco will just be chilling out, talking with some birds about food :|]

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

[He'll have to teach Marco the song later.

Gakupo doesn't have a hard time spotting the other, surrounded by birds. That seems fitting. When he's close enough, Gakupo smiles wryly.]

You seem to already have company.

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

It's nice to see somethings never change. [He means the birds.]

How's everything with you Gakupo?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

I can attest to that. Since the exam, not much has been happening. I've certainly gotten a lot of time on my hands since leaving the GFC. [He looks around and goes to sit next to Marco.] However, I've been using that time to help out Robin, seeing as he's the only member of the Disciplinary Committee.

The nice Robin, by the way.

[Meaning he knows Damian is Robin, since Robin isn't listed as a member.]

I'm worried that he's taking on more than he can chew.

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

The... only one? [Frowns.] He didn't tell me that.

Have there been a lot of problems?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

Not entirely surprising. So proud at such a young age.

Not many, but a scuffle came up a few days ago. I tried to stop it. [Pauses] You know there isn't a definitive regulation on how to stop such things. How far is too far?

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

[Sighs. This is why kids ruling kids was troublesome. Because some things you only got from experience.]

Depends on who and why. Sometimes a quick fight can resolve some tensions and help them get to a better place. Other times it's a permanent personality conflict that just requires separation and each giving the other space.

As for disciplining it... that also is best tailored to the who and why.

Who was it, and what were their reasons?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

Right. That's what really needs to be cleared up. We all have differing powers and strengths, as well as weaknesses. [He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck.]

The Lalondes. They're siblings. [Gakupo thinks that should be enough of an explanation.]

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

Oh.

Did they involve anyone else?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

Luckily, no.

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

Keep an eye on them. Do they both think they can handle it?

[Strokes his chin thinking of an appropriate punishment.] Was there any damage?

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

With the way they've been going at it, I'd say they could.

[Takes on a contemplative look.] There was burn marks and upturned ground in some places.

[Action time!]

[fierybluebird]

Makes them clean it up in punishment then. And do a project to make it nicer.

[Action time!]

[eggplantallergy]

Excellent idea! Now, you can go and suggest that to Damian. [Smirks brightly.]
