[About the Garden there is currently a very sleepy big bluebird. It also appears to be on fire with blue flames. But that's because it is. Marco has completely lost the bet with "John Doe" (the Doctor) and has been falling asleep about places. Now, after a series of nightmares, trying to keep everyone else from snapping, 3+ weeks of not talking to Ace at all, and taking finals, he's about ready to collapse. Vaguely, part of him is trying to keep going, even without sleep or much coherency, but at the same time his devil fruit is taking over to protect him, because as a bird, he's less emotionally hurt. Also, a lot more cuddly. So should you happen to see the human-sized blue phoenix perched or just flat-out asleep somewhere, he's not really going to be bothered enough to mind. In fact he might even just flop on you and demand pettings. Besides, this is his idea of strapping in since he can take off to flight should he so choose.]
