[BBS & ACTION! The Action is open for 4th wall, BBS isn't] Let's keep the party going

[fierybluebird]

[First on the BBS this message will appear:]

Hey everyone! My Pops is here! You might have seen him, they managed to shrink him from twenty-five feet to like 9 or 10, but he still has his trademark mustache!

We're going into town for drinks. Don't worry, I know how skittish that would make the locals, so we'll have it outside a little away from civilization, Grell and I will just buy the drinks and bring them over to him.

Everyone's invited though, eh! Bring your friends from back home too!

[And then true to his word, Marco will be throwing the biggest block party ever with as many drinks as they can buy/steal/acquire. Feel free to come, bring food, share some drinks, gawk at the freaks, whatever you're in the mood for. Marco himself will be basically walking on air perpetually. Omg his Daddy's alive! (Insert fanboy screaming here.) Threadjumping is encouraged all over this, go wild!]

I'm serious.

[espio]

That's what makes it scary.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

Or awesome.

[espio]

No, definitely just scary. I'm sure there's about a million songs called that, it's such a cheesy line.

...the only one that comes to mind is Open Your Heart though, and that's about a disaster.

[fierybluebird]

What's that about?

[espio]

Either a monster or supervillain attack, I think? Music's more Vector's sort of thing. That's probably why I suck at guitar.

[fierybluebird]

You're making me miss music from home now.

[Which tend to be not about love, monsters, or supervillains; surprisingly.]

[espio]

Really? Sorry.

[fierybluebird]

Nah, I'm just teasing you. Gakupo accidentally does that to me all the time. Never ask him to sing you pirate songs.

[espio]

I don't even know any pirate songs.

[fierybluebird]

Apparently pirate songs in his world are...

Not things that should be sung. By anyone. Ever.

[espio]

Huh. Not good, then.

I know a bunch of other "songs" that should never be sung ever.

[Namely, anything that Charmy sings.]

[fierybluebird]

It's not that it's bad musically. It's that it basically describes how a crew all murder each other. [Clenches his fist. There aren't many touchy topics with Marco. Nakama killing each other? That's one of them.] And there's 15... [Shakes his head. Wow actually he's too shook up to talk about it.]

You got gruesome songs like that where you're from? [You KNOW it has to be gruesome if Marco, who has MURDERED people finds it to be too much.]

[espio]

Probably. Like I said, not much of a music person... but that kinda describes something I'd expect in a horror, thriller, drama movie or something. I'm sure there's songs, too.

I was thinking more along the lines of "stupid and annoying" than "let's kill everyone", though.

[fierybluebird]

Not sure what those are... I guess they're what they sound like.

Stupid and annoying... Oh we have thousands of those.

[espio]

Anything Charmy sings.

...you've not seen a movie?

[fierybluebird]

Understood.

I saw a chocobo one with Grell! It was cute! [Oh his enthusiasm.] And I think I saw a movie version of that Romeo and Juliet play we put on... it was pretty different.

[espio]

...a kid's movie, and a recording of a school play.

[He'd suggest something more interesting... if he'd ever bothered to find out about this world's movies at all.]

[fierybluebird]

Right.

[espio]

If the nearest cinema weren't so far, I'd have to drag you to go see something more interesting.

...assuming this world's movies don't consist entirely of war stories...

[fierybluebird]

I do fly you know.

[espio]

Yeah, but do you really wanna fly all the way to some huge, Galbadian city just to see what's on?

[fierybluebird]

Why not? You'd have fun with it, right?

[espio]

Probably more the flight than anything else.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] All right, sometime I'm not throwing a party for my Pops we'll go flying again, eh?
