Fifth Prayer: Loss
[She'd just checked Usagi's room, and it was empty. Nothing remained of Sailor Moon save for a half-empty bucket of pudding just sitting in the fridge. With a cry of frustration, the normally reserved miko took it out and hurled it at the trash bin, chocolate oozing down the wall. This was just too much. First Ami, then that awful Apep creature taking Sabriel, and now Usagi!
Her friends would need to be told, of course. So, a few minutes later a Voice transmission pops out over the journals. Rei's voice is tight and controlled, but there's definitely an undercurrent of sadness]
I'm sorry to inform everyone that Tsukino Usagi-san has been sent home by the Malnosso.
Please think of her fondly, and wish her luck.
Should anyone wish to make a formal prayer for her, I will be available to help with that, so please contact me via the journal.
[Closing the feed, Rei picks up her journal and heads out to the little tent shrine she, Ami, and Usagi had put together months before, lighting a flame on the brazier with Eferin and preparing several prayer strips of her own for her friend and Sailor Moon. She burns them, and sends her wishes to the other girl, whereever she might be]
Be well, Usagi-chan.
(OOC: Feel free to respond via voice, or find Rei at her little hideaway)

Addiction is a powerful thing.But that doesn't mean he can't indulge in a little more. Oh wait, is this the girl from earlier on the journal? He saw her name on a list Marco wrote of prospective Davy Back allies, but she doesn't have the Whitebeard mark anywhere... Still, she was really sad! And that's sad. And he wants to cheer her up!]Hello, yoi. Are you okay? [Still watching the fire a bit. Mmmm fire....]
[action]
I...I'm alright. Who are you?
[action]
I saw the fire and got curious.
[action]
[Spooked the sad right out of her]
What...on...by the spirits! When did this happen?
[action]
[Looks all around to make sure that he's not leaking blue flames.... And then he remembers what Ace & Robin and Shirahoshi and a few others told him. Not to mention his list. So, he bows politely and offers a handshake.]
Oh oh... right... Aye! Sorry. [Rubs the back of his neck.] You know me when I'm taller. It was the barrier people! THEY SUCK. Look at these stupid fake wings! I can't even fly now! Even with my real wings, because these weigh me down! [Points to his back.]
Um, are we good friends when I'm older?
[He's certainly less babbley when he's older anyway.]
[action]
[Rei just looks at the young child and blinks. His question...is a little absurd. But...it made her think. Were she and Marco friends? Maybe? He was really odd]
I...guess we are, in a way.
[action]
So what's with the fire?
[action]
You...don't remember anything do you?
[action]
Not this place though, I'm sorry. [Hugs his knees to his chest.] I'm still me though, aren't I? [He's going a little nuts this week. He can't fly, and Ace keeps doing things alone so Marco's taking everything on himself, and faking that he has a handle on everything, but it doesn't seem to be enough. He looks up at her though, all determination just like adult Marco when he's being serious.] If I can help I want to. If there's something I can do in the future, I can do it now too. I'm a phoe-- Time works differently on me anyway, and I'm the second strongest person in the world. [Sort of. Second in command TO the strongest person in the world, but she doesn't know that. Probably.] So that still counts for everything, eh?
[action]
[action]
[Cheerfully turns into a teeny tiny baby-sized blue phoenix.]
But my wings aren't strong enough to fly with the fake wings from the barrier-people.
[action]
[Its cute, but, she's not...good with people]
[action]
What prayers are the fire for? [Vaguely hypnotized...]
[action]
[action]
[Scoots closer to try to be as comforting as a presence as he can.] Did you have a lot of good memories here at least?
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[She can't HELP but give you the oddest look]
You are a kind little boy.
[action]
No, I'll just give you reasons to smile, eh?
[action]
Of course.
[action]
Do you like bird jokes?
[Say no Rei, or he'll be at this for awhile.]
[action]

"It's up his sleeve, it's up his sleeve!" or "It's in his pocket, it's in his pocket!" or "It's in his mouth, it's in his mouth!"
The magician was getting pretty sick of this and threatened to kill the parrot if it ruined his act one more time. That evening right at the climax of his act, just as he was about to disappear in a puff of smoke, the ship hit an iceberg and sank in seconds.
Amazingly, the magician and the parrot were the only two survivors. The magician was lying on a piece of driftwood in a daze. As he opened his eyes he could see the parrot staring at him out of its beady little eye.
The parrot sat there for hours just staring at him and eventually said, "Okay, I give up, what did you do with the ship?"
