[Action] / BBS

[It's that time of year again. Where it is encroaching upon Grell's birthday, she's up in arms about Homecoming, and Marco has no ideas for either. Well, some ideas, just not good ones.]

[So you know what?]

[Fuck it!]

[Marco is hiding out in phoenix form munching squash seeds.]

[Actually, this is not his typical phoenix form. You see normally, he's almost indistinguishable from the world's phoenixes except for being blue and sparkly. This time, it looks like someone bred a horrifying combination of a chocobo and a peacock.]

[Yeah. Not pretty.]

[Marco even shares some of his seeds with the chocobo around them as he asks them for advice. It doesn't go well.]

This is what I get for asking non-homicidal birds, yoi. [Hey, who said that?] I mean... wark. [Deadpan.]

[Later on the BBS this mysterious post will appear (as well as sparkly fliers throughout the halls):]

Attention all SeeD and cadets, this is a very important announcement!

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PUMPKIN SEEDS.

They are edible and delicious, and should only ever be planted or devoured.

If you have no interest in roasting them for yourself, see Marco SeeD rank 11 for a 500 gil reward for every pound of seeds you bring, thank you.

2/2 PM

[Which is why he also sends her a PM with this contradictory message:]

Correct, that's part of why. It's also because they're frankly delicious.

[fionna_time]

Heh, I see what you did there!

I kinda like 'em too, but I'll save some for ya!

[fierybluebird]

You don't have to. I'll probably get a lot so long as Ace doesn't find them all.

[fionna_time]

Is Ace a bird too?

[fierybluebird]

No. He's a D.

It means he eats everything.

I've even seen him eat bones.

[fionna_time]

No way! He's that ravenous?

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Positively voracious. I know T-Rexaurs who eat less. Daily. And by know; I mean all of them actually.

[fionna_time]

No way! Does he have a permanently empty stomach?

[fierybluebird]

Or an extremely fast metabolism. He burns up food just by breathing I swear.

[fionna_time]

Man! I wish I had that problem! You can see I don't.

1/2

[fierybluebird]

[For a bit, he's a little confused.]

2/2

[fierybluebird]

[Then he remembers Grell and transitions his thinking to that direction instead of Whitey Bay or Brocca.]

Nonsense. With how hyper you are, I'm surprised you don't eat as much as Ace. I always just assumed it's because you're saner.

Re: 2/2

[fionna_time]

Heh, thanks! I think?

[fierybluebird]

Heh sorry. Usually I'm better at compliments, but I meant it as one. [He is never good at compliments. Ace and Thatch are the smoother ones.]

For what it's worth, I think you're cute as is. Just be yourself, aye?

When I was younger I always wanted to be as tall as my Pops and my younger brothers. But now that I'm in the Garden I'm glad I'm not. Ace's food thing has it's amusing moments, but mostly it's a pain in the arse.

[fionna_time]

Aw! [slight blush here]. Thanks! You're pretty handsome yourself, you know!

I don't mind being a little heavier though, because I rock it well, you know? There's not a lot of people here that look like me, so I gotta be a SEED for that reason and a bunch of others!

[that hero personality would never say die]

[fierybluebird]

Hah, believe me when I say that in my world you would be considered a tiny pixie.

My Pops preferred to collect twiggy nurses, but most of the strong women in my world are bigger than Thatch and Namur. No exaggeration.

[fionna_time]

Really? Maybe we should visit it sometime.

Heh, cool! They sound like Amazons!

[fierybluebird]

Aren't you one of the family now? That means you're coming back with us even if we have to kidnap you.

Aye, there's that island too. The Amazons completely run the gambit though. They say the most beautiful woman in the world is their leader, but I don't see it. Not my type I guess.

[fionna_time]

No way man, ha! We're pirates, we're supposed to be kidnapping wenches or whatever!

[What the heck was a wench anyway?]

No kidding? She's probably look like, maybe, Kori and dress and act like Sigyn!"

[fierybluebird]

What do you think you are?

She acts like a bitchier, way more pretentious and obnoxious Sigyn. She also turned a bunch of Thatch's division into stone. Don't tell Thatch, although he might be proud that they fell for her charms super easily.

Which one's Kori again?

[fionna_time]

A human, of course!

[She missed that one]

Heh, that would be something. I thin I wanna meet her!

I think she's also called Starfire or Koriander?"

[fierybluebird]

A female one.

Oh right! She's much more gorgeous in my opinion, but I'm biased, since I married a redhead and all.

[fionna_time]

Uh, yeah I'm a female human! What's your point?

Oh, cool! What's her name?

[fierybluebird]

Kidnapping you fulfills my kidnapping wenches quota of the year.

Koriand'r?

Or do you mean my wife Grell? Or Boa Hancock, who is the leader of the Kuja Amazons?

[fionna_time]

I don't count! You can't kidnap someone if they wanna go with you!

Your wife...wait, Grell? The scary redhead with the glasses?
