[Ino]
Hey Ino, do you know anything about the, uh.. what was it, the peace police or something? Anyway, a [...] person I know from home was hoping to learn about it.

[Reborn]
Reborn, Mukuro's here. He comes from further along our time, and... [You can hear the smile in his voice.] Reborn, we won. And we managed to save all the Arcobaleno. [.......... yeah sure as hell not bringing up the other stuff Mukuro said.]

[Allen-kun]
[...... does he really want to do this...... Allen was the one who led that mini-expedition, so...] U-um, Allen-kun? I heard that your group from Last Look found a map. Do you have it with you? I'd like to borrow it. [hopefully this won't end in disaster.]

[Professor Sage]
Ah... h-hello, Professor Sage? I'm trying to plan an expedition, and a friend of mine, uh, you probably know her... Martel, said I should come to you, since you led the last one and all. [He takes a deep breath, to settle his nerves. He can do this.] Right, so... if you could tell me the things that I should keep in mind, and the preparations that I should make, I'd really appreciate it. [...] Th-thank you for your time, Professor.


[Action for Tsuna's room, closed to Martel, Reborn and Casa de Guts residents]
[After Tsuna successfully obtained the copy of the map from Allen, he was seated in his room on the floor, said map spread out before him.]

Wow, this map is really detailed... And there are so many different regions and points on it. Where do we even begin...?


[Finally, later that day, Tsuna notices he hasn't heard from his friend in awhile. After throwing up a filter to him and not getting any response after an hour or two, he goes to check his room.

The nameplate is blank.

It comes as more of a shock than anything, since Akito had been one of the ones that Tsuna has known for awhile. There's a slight clench in his stomach at the realization he may never meet him again...

But this is better. Akito and Agito had hated living here. It was nothing more than a gilded cage to them.]


[When he gets home, he dictates to the journal, sounding more tired than he intends to. It's been a long day.]

Hey guys. Um, for anyone who knew him-- them-- Akito-kun and Agito-kun are gone. [A pause.] Sorry. [.. he's not sure why he's apologizing. It just seemed like the right thing to do.]

[Oh God, he remembers just now he forgot to apologize and explain that whole mess with Crowley and the chocolates. Oh awkward]

- Ah! Tsuna!

that

[not_mafia]

[THAT'S HIS NAME...]

Y..yeah. Hi. [this is not awkward]

forever

[save_the_souls]

Hi...

[Oh right he asked a question]

Um, yes! I have the map in my room. I can...bring it over to you!

[not_mafia]

That'd be great. Th-thanks.

[save_the_souls]

O-of course. I'll be right over.

[He'll shut the journal then, taking a second to breaaath and tell himself he's the adult here, so to act like one and just...not freak the kid out! Right! He can do this!]

[...........hopefully]

[Either way, a couple minutes later there's a knock on his bedroom door]

Tsuna?

[not_mafia]

One moment!

[And after a second he's at the bedroom door, opening it.]

H-hey, Allen-kun. [this is still not awkward]

[save_the_souls]

[totally not awkward. He'll rub the back of his neck and give a sheepish smile]

Hello.

[He'll hold out the map] Here's the map you asked for.

[not_mafia]

R-right! Thank you.

[He takes it.

AND NOW WHAT]

[save_the_souls]

It's no trouble.

[AWKWARD PAUSE IS NOT AWKWARD....]

[Jeez Allen, stop being a wimp and just say something]

Look...I wanted to apologise for the other day. It...it wasn't like me at all to do that.

[not_mafia]

Ah... it was one of those chocolates, wasn't it? [The ones that Reborn FORCE FED HIM]

D-don't worry about it! After all, that's just the castle being the castle, right? Ahaha...

[save_the_souls]

[he'll nod] Mm, Crowley slipped it into the food.

And right! Just the castle! [wait that's mean] I mean-! You're a nice boy and all but...you're not really my sort, I'm sorry.

[not_mafia]

Ah... that would seem like something he'd do.

N-no, it's fine! I, uh... I only like girls anyway, so...

[save_the_souls]

Yes, I should have expected it.

[And wow Tsuna like he needed to know that. And he'll look a bit awkward at that]

Ah, right. Good for you..?

[not_mafia]

O-oh, um... In case you were.. wondering why I didn't take up your offer I mean. [ y e p ]

[save_the_souls]

...Tsuna, no offence, but I wasn't wondering.

[not_mafia]

O-oh... good. [awkward]

[save_the_souls]

[....]

You're...much younger than me, so... [Y e a h you're jailbait ]






[plus you have stupid hair]

[not_mafia]

... I am? How old are you? [isn't he like... sixteen or seventeen??]

[save_the_souls]

....Um, I'm twenty-two.

[not_mafia]

[!!!!!]

Wh-what?! I thought you were like, only a couple years older than me or something!!

[save_the_souls]

[a sigh]

I get that a lot.

1/2

[not_mafia]

[.... and then it strikes him.

He got asked out on a date by a 22-year old.]

2/2

[not_mafia]

I-I'm just... going to.. go back to my room now, I think...

[save_the_souls]

[Yeaaaaaah he's getting that vibe]

Oh come on! I said I'm not interested in you!

[not_mafia]

[IF HE HAD KNOWN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SKEEVED OUT WHEN YOU ASKED HIM, ALLEN. not that he hadn't been a bit already so now he's making up for lost time]

Ah... [That.. might have been a sound of acknowledgement?

... he needs to go lay down for awhile.]
