Vongola XXII -- Filters *Everywhere*

[not_mafia]

[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.

Action foreeever

[heal_theworld]

[Martel is looking at the map too, since she hasn't seen it yet.] Well, first we have to figure out where they've already been. We could cross-reference the one in the journal, that has all the information with it.

[not_mafia]

Mmn, that's a good point. Do you know which page that is...? [man he probably should have bookmarked it or something]

[heal_theworld]

[Good thing Martel keeps giving it to Arcobalenos, because she knows it off the top of her head. She's getting her journal and opening it up to the page, looking at it.]

Right here.

[not_mafia]

Ah! Thank you, Martel. ... wow, doing this sort of thing is really kind of weird to me...

[It kind of reminds him of when he was back home, planning for the representative battle...]

[Tsuna]

[ino]

[oh god. when she speaks up she sounds ... mildly irritated]

The Peace Patrol?

[Ino]

[not_mafia]

[lmao okay not exactly the reaction he was expecting]

U..um.. y-yes?

[Tsuna]

[ino]

As far as I know it's been disbanded.

[Ino]

[not_mafia]

So... what was it? Paradisa's police force or something?

Tsuna

[hometutor]

[Oh so his plan did work. Tsuna had beaten Bermuda and wasn't well, an Arcobaleno. Hopefully.

Really...he'll have to hit Mukuro later for details.]

Did he say what happened to the Arcobaleno when the curse was broken?

Reborn

[not_mafia]

[IT'S A POSSIBILITY that conversation is still ongoing.........]

Mmn... I don't think he mentioned anything specifically.. [he kind of went off on a tangent about tsuna becoming the vongola boss and his wedding... which he's still not sure really happened....] But, if the curse is removed... that means everybody should be back to their regular forms, right?

Tsuna

[hometutor]

[Erp derp...]

Possibly. [Probably.] Though it could take much longer than being an instant thing. [...oh man he has to tell Colonnello.]

Reborn

[not_mafia]

[Confused:] Longer?

[bronwe]

I'm sorry, too. Are they your friends?

[not_mafia]

Yeah. They didn't really like being here though, so it's alright. [He'd still miss them, but at least at home, they were with their friends and happy.]

[bronwe]

That is generous of you.

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

[He hears the announcement, and the weariness in Tsuna's voice, and can't help but feel a bit worried about him. At least now he could actually ask after him and not be afraid that he was going to get some sort of stammering answer.]

...Friends of yours, bambino?

Giotto

[not_mafia]

[The sound of Giotto's voice brings a small upward quirk to his lips. The little nickname, in particular.]

Yeah. It's fine. They hated this place.

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

Then, all the better that they have gone home. [He hasn't started to hate this place just yet, and he wholly couldn't because of the people he has met and because he had a chance to meet Tsuna, but there was a sort of discontent there, from being kept from his Family and from his work.

One could only occupy themselves in a library so long.]

You sound tired, though.

This Person

[ruin_mania]

I'd be more than happy to help any friend of Martel's, of course, though I haven't actually led an expedition in some time. Allen was in charge of the last, and Aradia before that. Still, I do have quite a bit of experience.

Have you traveled in the wilderness without technology before? It's important to be prepared for the weather as well as to pack enough food and, in many cases, water for the journey. There are several excellent guides to wilderness survival in the library if you're not familiar with the idea.

Professor Sage oh good you found this, I don't have you on plurk /sob

[not_mafia]

Aradia-san was? [Oh... he did vaguely remember about her talking about wilderness experience with him!]

Yes... I was on the expedition to LastLook. I've packed for that sort of thing before, but... a refresher wouldn't hurt. I'll check them out when I can.

The weather... What should we look out for? The last time I went, it was clear skies the whole way... and I heard that during Allen's expedition, there wasn't any snow out in the Dead Zone. It was actually pretty nice.

This Person whoops super late

[ruin_mania]

I've always found the weather there to be very pleasant, but I don't trust that it will remain so. At the very least, you should be prepared for the weather on either side of the border during your journey. May I ask where you're intending to go?

[She writes down a few titles like "Wilderness Backpacking" and "Overnight Camping with Horses" and their locations in the library.] Here are a few basic guides you can look over as a refresher, and then there is of course more detail on each subject if you find something you're not familiar with.

Another thing to keep in mind is provisions. While it's typically not a problem to pack for one person, it's always best to assume there will be at least one inexperienced individual along who will fail to bring the proper supplies for themselves. Food is unfortunately very scarce out there, and depending on where you intend to travel there may not be much in the way of fresh water, either.
