Vongola XXIII -- Dictated/Action for Casa de Guts

[not_mafia]

[There's a soft mumbling first, as though someone's stirring from a deep sleep.]

... wha..?

[Those with more sensitive hearing may be able to pick up on the soft sounds of someone shifting. And then, a curious noise:] Eh?

[Followed by a huge sigh of relief.]

Finally, I'm back to myself! That took forever... --ah!

[And now Tsuna's clearly dictating into the journal.]

Hey guys, it's me. Um... Paradisa turned me into a [puppy] dog for, uh... jeez, how long was it? -- but anyway, I'm back to my regular self now. So, um, sorry if anyone was wondering where I was. It's really hard to use the journal with paws, ahahaha...

O-oh, right! I guess you guys should know, um... I was the dog with the tag that said '27'. It's, um... kind of a shorthand for my name. Not that I expect anyone would've known that... [Thanks, Paradisa, for making everyone think he had a stupid name.]

Well, I think that's about everything... Nothing really happened aside from the usual while I was a dog, right?

[Zelos]
Um, sorry I haven't been able to make it to the training sessions. [There he goes, apologizing for the castle's shit again.] Is the next one supposed to be tomorrow, or the day after...? [...oh man, now he has to get readjusted to getting up at three in the morning again. Goddamnit, Wilder.]

[Action]
[After going through routine morning preparations, Tsuna comes down the stairs.]

Morning, everyone. I've finally ch-- w-woah!!

[His hand catches on the railing when he fumbles the few last steps, managing to stop himself from falling down the stairs. He gives an exhausted, exasperated sigh. His legs always felt weird after changing back from a loss...]

Yep, everything's definitely back to normal...

ACTION

[ino]

[and she's jumping up quickly to help catch Tsuna at the end of the stairs -- even if he managed to catch himself, she's holding out her arms just in case lol]

Tsuna! Are you alright?

[not_mafia]

Ah, I'm fine, Ino. Just a little unused to my own legs, ahaha.

[He lets go of the railing. At least it doesn't seem like his legs are going to randomly give out on him. Maybe.]

[ino]

Alright ...

[she'll withdraw her arms, moving so he can, you know. go into the room.]

Glad to see you're back to normal.

[not_mafia]

Yeah, me too. I think that was my longest loss yet...

I didn't really miss anything, did I?

Tsuna

[wilder]

Oh, Welcome back.

It's day after tomorrow.

[What is this? no shit from Zelos? Who is this creature?!]

Zelos

[not_mafia]

[AN IMPOSTER.

... no, really, Tsuna was at least expecting a jab at the dog part, since that's just what Zelos does. Torments him for a living.]

Um, okay.

[...]

Is everything alright?

Tsuna

[wilder]

Huh?

Uh- yeah? Why wouldn't they be?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley's leaning in his chair in the living room, watching this spectacle]

I never would have guessed. What with all the grace and silence you hold in the house and all.

[not_mafia]

H-hey! What's that supposed to mean?!

[onlyanapple]

It means exactly what it sounds like. You have the grace of a drunk hippopotamus.

[i_got_this]

[South, being the polite extended-stay visitor that she is gives a short chuckle.]

I give that a 5.8, next time try to flail a little more, make it interesting?

[not_mafia]

[WOAH WHO'S THIS STRANGER. actually tsuna's probably seen her around while he was a dog..]

Ah, um... I wasn't trying to trip. [COULD'VE FOOLED ME]

[i_got_this]

[She's probably mostly been keeping to Crowley's room to start, working out the issues that brought her there in the first place.]

So there you go; put a little effort into it and I'm sure you'll wow the Olympic Committee.

[Dictated]

[therealrisette]

[Wait, did he just say...?]

Oh, so you were that puppy, Tsuna-kun?

[Oh, she is so tempted to have fun with this...]

I hope you enjoyed the cuddling~! ♥

[Nope, not just tempted. Compelled. Have fun with this, Tsuna! She's using her best fanservicey idol voice, even!]

[Dictated]

[not_mafia]

[JKGAHKJGD OH GOD that was so awkward... what is he even supposed to say in response to that??]

I-I, uh...

[Dictated foreeeveeeer~]

[therealrisette]

I'll take that as a "yes".

[This is too funny!]

It's okay, Tsuna-kun! I won't be mad. You made such a cute puppy!

[is_mafia]

Is that what the 27 meant...? [He had been wondering.]

Either way... Welcome back, bambino.

[not_mafia]

Mmn, that's right! In Japan, "two" is pronounced "tsu", and seven is nana.

Thanks, Giotto. Ah, should I come up for my lessons today? [sjdfas JUST WANTS AN EXCUSE TO SEE YOU GRANDPA]

[is_mafia]

Makes sense. [Now he won't forget it.]

If you want to. You did just turn back from a puppy, after all. [And there's some gentle teasing from grandpa.]

Dictated

[cyan_maid]

[There's a gasp!] You were Twenty-Seven? Oh gosh!

Dictated

[not_mafia]

U..um.. yeah. [LMAO that name....]

Dictated

[cyan_maid]

You were adorable!

[Sorry Tsuna, you really were.]

What's "Twenty-Seven" got to do with you, though?

written

[nukeoleptic]

it turned you into a what??

dictated because boy does his written hand suck

[not_mafia]

A dog? Um... [GOSH HE'S NEVER HAD TO EXPLAIN WHAT A DOG IS BEFORE] It's.. an animal on four legs, and it can be different shapes and sizes... [lgkjslkdg]

dictated ahahha

[nukeoleptic]

[ .. fff Jade cracks up a little, cutting him off there. ]

No, no, I mean- I know what a dog is! I just mean.. you got turned into one?
