5th Morph [Video]

[The feed clicks on to show the night sky with its many stars as well as a pair of black clad legs before it reveals who he is as he picks up the communicator and sits down. Then he positions the camera back to the sky.]

 It's been awhile since I really saw something like this. Even in a small town, it's hard to see with all the lights on. I wonder if I can see the constallations on this world too.

[He sighs but for once, it's a happy one.]


((OOC: Stargazing at the observatory just to bring in something a little more happier. Have at it people!))

I've noticed those guys around at times. They don't like going indoors from what I've seen.

...now that I think about it...I wonder if it was them who left that message in the subway earlier.

[Meh, think later. Stargazing now.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

There was a message in the subway?

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

It was the thing that told us that the train was almost fixed and we had to clear the track for it to go.

Was there any messages left in the place where you're staying?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah some sort of weird as fuck code with a flashing light. I thought it was a type of flare code, but if it is, it must be different in my world because it was gibberish.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

That sounds odd...then again, I suck at riddles.

[Then realization dawns on him. Yeah. Pun.]

This is our first time speaking to each other, isn't it? My name's Adam.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Marco. Nice to meet you Adam.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

[There's a smile; he likes meeting new people who were nice.]

So how long have you been here?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

8 months or so. Maybe longer. 9? I don't keep track of dates well.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

I guess this world has that effect on people. I forgot about the 4th of July until someone mentioned it.

[fierybluebird]

America's birthday? Is that really such a big deal where you're from?

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

So there is a personification of America too...

Yeah, it is a big deal; it's the day that America became a nation and broke away from England. The war was hell from what I read.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

There's two of Japan, so why not, eh?

Really? I'm surprised he and America are so close then.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Wait, there's two of them??

[Sounds surprised. Still has no idea that he met male Japan while rescuing Heiji.]

I guess afterwards, they became good friends with time.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Sakura and Kiku. One is female.

That's kind of a sweet story I guess.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

I should be like a normal person and freak out...but I can see that actually.

Maybe...I'm not sure how countries really act. [Still a little uncomfortable with Denmark's rant about wanting sex. Funny how he's actually fine around Yao.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Kiku's a good friend of mine though, so I'm not sure it's something I could freak out about.

So far as I can tell? Same as anyone else. [Though, Marco is completely biased.]

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

As long as you're friends then there's nothing to worry about. It's still new for me to think countries can be people too...but the ones I've met are very nice.

[In Denmark's case...a little too crazy at times.]

I hope Yao's feeling better...he might've liked this.

[It would surely make him not think about recent events, that's for sure.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye.

Liked what, the stars you mean?

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

Yeah.

[Pauses for a moment then asks...]

Ever tried making pictures with them?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

The constellations? [Gets a little excited.] Yeah! I love collecting stories about them. Like the crane, the stork, the butterfly, the raven, the phoenix -- [Trails off.]

I mean it's different here though. The Grand Line's constellations are pretty confusing, they don't stay put in a sense. And so very often each island has a different story to tell about them.

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

[He smiles at Marco's excitement over the stories...that and the mentioning of the crane reminded him of Kim.]

Sounds like you know a lot of them. Could I hear one?

[He sounds really curious at this.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Ah, it's embarrassing.

[Waves a hand back and forth.] Besides, I'm not really sure what happens with the constellations here, eh?

[Video] Storytime?

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, I won't judge you. I'll even lock so it's just us. Will that be ok?


[Marco can't see it but Adam's grinning.]The fun part is trying to find out, right?

[Now he sounds like a giddy teen again. This was needed more often.]

[Video] lol okay THIS IS NOT CANON. Just made up using Egyptian phoenix mythology and adapted to OP

[fierybluebird]

Eh.... [REALLY hesitant but finally...]

It's said once upon a time in my world phoenixes used to live high up in the mountains and travel between islands, searching for others of its kind. Though solitary creatures, they didn't mean to be alone, they simply were nonetheless for safety. -- which is a star that stands alone in the sky. They generally avoid humans, soaring so high up that even the sky islanders cannot reach, but it's said that once every five hundred years one brings its father to a funeral pyre at the top of the world to rebirth from the ashes.

Perhaps it's a reference to a comet, eh?

[Gosh he's embarrassed.]

[Video]*Locked to Marco: 50%* That's fine. :)

[kungfublackfrog.livejournal.com]

Maybe. It's possible...

It reminds me of the North Star, being the brightest star in the sky. They say to find your way back home, you follow the North Star. Maybe that was so other phoenixes could find each other so they won't be so alone. That's my thought anyway.

[The camera shows one of Adam's hands making an outline in the sky, connecting stars like...a connect-the-dots. If one would notice, the shape he was making was a frog.]
