Adventure 1- The Surface [Action]
[Anyone in the area of Luceti's beach has probably just heard an ear-splitting, sonic screech. The astute observer (or, even the non-astute observer) may notice uncharacteristically large waves breaking up on the beach. For any curious enough, if they look out to sea, they'll notice something spectacular. A large pink mermaid is splashing about, swimming quickly one direction, then crying out- much more quietly now- and changing directions suddenly. She does this a number of times, then dives deep, only to surface a few minutes later, looking for all the world like she's trying to beat the world record for "longest surface jump made by a fish". Whatever her goal is, she doesn't appear to be achieving it, because the process repeats itself over and over.
Those with extremely good eyesight, or who are brave (or stupid) enough to try getting closer may notice a bit of flotsam trailing along behind her.
A Malnosso-issued journal.]

[Action]
Curious, she pokes her head up out of the waves, which would have been a lot less obvious if she didn't have huge rabbit-ear buns on the top of her head.]
H- hello. Are... Are you a... a bird-sama?
[Action]
Are mermaids usually as big as you in your world or are you related to King Neptune? If you don't mind my asking.
[Action]
Y- you know my Father-sama?
[Action]
Princess, your Father was one of my Pops' best friends.
First division commander Marco, of the Whitebeard pirates at your service.
Are you all right? You seemed very upset earlier. [Not to mention, he basically figures this is her first time out of the Fishman Island.]
[Action]
Th- there was this book and it kept following me. I thought it was another trick of Vander Decken-sama's.
[There it is, right there! She shies away, pointing.]
I- I can't get away from it.
[Action]
And you're in a new world, and I haven't heard of him [Whoever he is] being here, so you're safe from him for now.
Actually you might want to grab it before you lose it because that could be problematic.
[Action]
Y- you're sure it's okay? I mean, a- are following books n- normal here on the surface?
[Action]
It's not normal on the surface... but it is for Luceti.
See? I have one too! Mine's smaller of course.
You can use them like a den den mushi.
[Action]
Where's the receiver? It looks just like a book.
[Yes, see? It's okay. It looks just like a book. A normal, not-Vander Decken-thrown book.]
Wh- Where did it come from?
[Action]
It comes from being here. From... the same place you got the wings on your back, eh.
This is Luceti. Everyone here from another world has those wings and these journals.
[Action]
Shirahoshi drops the book, trying to look and reach over her shoulder at the same time. The result is that she just spins in a circle in the water, unable to accomplish either task. After a second turn, she gives up, dropping her hands dejectedly into her lap under the water.
The Bird-Marco-Phoenix-sama is telling her a lot of things, she really ought to concentrate on that. The surface is so full of complicated things!]
S- so you're saying that I... Th- that I can't go home when I'm ready?
[Action]
We're in a different world, so there's no way to willingly get back to the Grand Line right now.
There are other people from home here though! You probably never met Keimi, but she's here, and the Straw Hat pirates are too.
[Action]
Really? Luffy-sama and Namichin-sama and everyone else is here too?
[Well, that makes this an awesome place.]
[Action]
Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Vivi, and Robin. [Robin <3. No that's not visible, or audible, because he's always deadpan. But there's definitely a lighter tone to his voice when he says her name.] And the swordsman I haven't met yet, Zoro. But he's here too.
[Action]
[She should probably not sound half as happy saying those words as she does.]
Are you their friend?
[Action]
WHAT?! What happened to King Neptune? And Prince Fukaboshi? WHO'S HODY?!?!
[Whatever details he got from Keimi, that wasn't included.] ARE THEY OKAY!?
[Action]
I... um... th- that is. They. P- please don't yell at me, Marco-phoenix-sama!
[Action]
Oh god Princess... I'm sorry...
[Flies over to land gently on her shoulder and pat her head soothingly with a blue wing.]
I was just worried. But you say that Luffy saved them??
[Action]
Y- yes. He did.
[And she smiles, drying her eyes.]
Jimbei-sama promised him lots of meat.
[Action]
I'm glad. And I'm sorry we couldn't be there. Hearing that Pops' friend was in trouble...
At least Jinbei was there. And it sounds like you were in safe hands.
[He can blame himself, he can blame the marines, he can blame the other pirate emperors, the slavers, and all the other pirates of the world who took Whitebeard's fall to mean open season on his islands, but in the end, Marco blames Blackbeard for setting it all in motion.]
Who's Hody? That's not a rookie name I know of.
[Action]
[Action]
[Marco only marginally understands why Otohime would want to go to Reverie. Realistically, he better understood the rest of Fishman Island who were afraid of it. So wanting to take over to do it...]
Wait... and he endangered the King?
[The flames burn a little brighter, though not at all warmer.]
[Action]
[Action]
And Ace's little brother, Luffy stopped him?
