Vongola XXIV -- Dictated/Action for City Royale

[not_mafia]

[The dictation starts with what alarmingly sounds like a gunshot. Just a single one. Someone with good hearing might be able to catch Tsuna's voice just before it, yelping "H-hold on a momen-- guh!". And then there's silence for a couple seconds, before:]

Rreeeee-BOOOOOORRNNN!! I'LL HELP THE TOWNSPEOPLE IF IT KILLS ME!!

[... was.. that Tsuna? It sounded like his voice, but rather... passionate and loud. Anyone who's in the city might catch sight of Tsuna running around at a startling speed, helping clearing debris by literally throwing huge chunks of the rocks clear out of the way, or perhaps he's found some equipment and is using it to help build up one of the broken houses, or maybe he's saving a townsperson who's trying to repair a house and has suddenly lost their footing or support. He's got a rather scary expression on his face which is rather not like him at all, and a flame bursts from his forehead.

Oh, yes. He's also only in his boxers.

Have fun with that.]

[Crowley will be watching this, lounging against the town's fountain eating a bag of popcorn]

Don't see that every day.

oh wait I forgot I edited it

[not_mafia]

[Once Tsuna's flame goes out, he slows to a walk in front of Crowley, then, with an exhausted sigh, flops to the ground.

...

is he dead?]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley tosses a few kernels in his mouth, before wandering closer to poke Tsuna with the tip of his snake-skin shoe (if in fact it was a shoe at all)]

Tsuna?


You dead?

[protosshaze]

[what even] Are you all right, Tsuna?

dictated???

[not_mafia]

[OH CRAP did that get on the journal?! cue some flustered flailing and sputtering.]

S-sophie-san! Ah-- yes, I'm fine, perfectly fine! Why do you ask? Ahahahahaha!

dictated!!!!

[protosshaze]

You're acting strange.

[ino]

[ she .. sees him passing by, and just. what. where do you even start with this. ]

... Tsuna?

[not_mafia]

[Looks like he's making a u-turn and is dashing back towards you, Ino!]

Out of the way!!

[WHAT DO]

[ino]

[ w t f. she ... steps out of the way, but ... ]

What the hell are you doing??

Dictated

[antitanktyke]

[ He doesn't even need to be in the city to know what's going down here. ]

It's been awhile since something like this happened. Hey. Reborn, are you finally done slacking on your duties as an instructor?

Dictated

[hometutor]

[It's not Tsuna that answers, which shouldn't be a surprise.]

I haven't been slacking, Colonnello. I just got what I needed for this lesson recently.

Dictated

[antitanktyke]

[ Not even a little, he was expecting Reborn here. Besides, it sounds like Tsuna's busy at the moment. ]

Don't bother making excuses for yourself, Reborn! 

[hometutor]

[Reborn's just watching this entire thing, sipping at a thermos of coffee as he does. Really he's just here to make sure Tsuna doesn't need him to smack him with the One Ton Mallet or anything.

He's so not popcorning at this, nope. It's your imagination.]

[not_mafia]

[After the five minutes are up, his fire fizzles out...

...and somehow he's found himself on top of beam of the roof of a house being constructed.

He yelps in alarm, immediately wrapping his body around the beam koala-style.]

Wh-what the hell?!

[hometutor]

[Yeah he's just staring up at it and if he was anyone else he'd be shaking his head. Instead he's thinking about the important things here. You know, like does he have enough coffee to last him while Tsuna gets down, does he need to get anything for Leon, maybe he should find a dessert for Martel to try....

Oh right, he should actually help Tsuna.]

You can't stay up there all day, Tsuna! [...So helpful.]

[is_mafia]

[Of course Giotto decides to come down to the city just as this happens. He sto9ps and stares as Tsuna runs by in nothing but his underwear. He blinks, not quite sure if he had seen that, before moving slightly to watch him start picking up giant pieces of building.

And then he puts his hand in his face and groans.

Grandson, why. He thought you had figured out Hyper Dying Will.]

[not_mafia]

[He runs like crazy back towards Giotto, but the flame on his head is fizzling out. His screams die down as he comes to a stop in front of him, and for a moment, he blinks, not entirely sure what just happened.

And then he looks up.

He's standing in front of his ancestor.

In his underwear.

In broad daylight.

He yelps loudly and jumps back, covering his chest with his arms, a furious blush on his face, his voice high-pitched.]

Primo!!

[REBORN WHY]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto looks up at that, and sighs, slightly exasperated. He thought they were past that point of Tsuna having a fit when something like this happened, then again...

He takes off his coat and wraps it around Tsuna, drawing it tight around him.] You know, I thought you had mastered Hyper Dying Will.

[kid_apocalypse]

[Evan, likewise is helping where he can, currently shapeshifted so he's proportionally 10 feet tall, picking up rubble and fixing the tops of buildings and the like. He doesn't look all that started when Tsuna blows by him, but raises an eyebrow when he notices that Tsuna's in his boxers.]

You...uhh...might wanna cover up, huh? The townsfolk are pretty accepting, but I don't know how they feel about public indecency.

[not_mafia]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!

[... did he even hear you, Evan? Probably not, if the way he doesn't even spare you a glance or react at all to your suggestion indicates anything. He just keeps on yelling, clearing the debris in front of him with alarming speed and efficiency.]

[kid_apocalypse]

[Evan has to admit, he's impressed. He could probably function similarly if he wanted, but it's not really his style, nor is he experienced with his powers yet. Instead, he'll simply try to minimize any potential collateral damage Tsuna might unintentionally cause by keeping an eye on where everything's flying, and saving what can be saved. He'll have to remember to ask about the whole "in his boxers" thing later.]

Action thread take two

[antitanktyke]

[ Oh look it's a tiny baby storming through the streets looking for Reborn's no good student. ]

[not_mafia]

[Oh look it's Reborn's no-good student. Sitting on a pile of rubble and looking exhausted, and also completely clueless to Colonello's existence!]

He finally let up...

[misconstrues]

[ In what she will later call a token of misfortune, Tsukimi came to City Royale for several reasons. Mostly, it was to be helpful and pick up things for Clara but she also wanted to visit Lucrezia and Joshua at some point. What she hadn't foreseen was seeing a teenage boy running around in his underwear. ]

N-naked..?!

[ .. wait, she recognizes that person. This is the worst! Why does she always have to see the opposite gender in such a way? She yelps and scrambles backwards while clumsily averting her eyes. She's clinging to the nearest building as if the added distance might somehow remedy the situation. He seemed so nice, she never would have pictured him to be so indecent -- a new opinion has been formed! Finally, she cries out: ]

Tsu-tsu.. Tsuna-san! P-please, find your clothing!

LOOK MATCHING ICONS they really are peas in a pod

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna comes to a stop just then, the fire on his forehead dying out. He blinks a couple of times, expression returning to normal, looking around. Was someone calling him...?

His eyes land on Tsukimi, and he freezes.

And then he yelps loudly, desperately trying to cover himself with his arms, a furious blush on his face.]

Tsu-tsukimi-san!! This isn't what it looks like, I swear!!
