Vongola XXVIII -- Dictated + Filtered away from the first gens and hostile parties

[not_mafia]

[There's an unsteady, nervous inhalation, before Tsuna speaks up.]

Paradisa, or... um, the people here... ugh-- anyway...

Listen, I don't really know what your guys' opinion is of the First Gen, or anything like that. I know some people might think they're the enemies, or bad people...

But none of that matters. We have to go help them. [He gives a pause.] W-well.. I feel like I have to help them, at least. And I know some other people are already thinking about going...

[HE IS SO BAD AT THIS THING why is reborn making him do this]

...just, please-- we need to hurry. It doesn't matter who's in charge or anything like that. But we can't leave him or anyone else to suffer. Not when we can help.

Tsuna is leading the trip.

[What did you think Reborn was going to stay quiet this entire time?]

Any questions, concerns or such should go to him and for those that don’t believe he can then remember that he is a boss of the most prestigious mafia family in the world. He is more than capable of leading such a trip to save people.

[There's a very undignified squwaking sound from said boy, and a very alarmed and horrified "R-Reborn!!" before he slams the journal shut.]

Comments

[greatesthitman]

[AND that's a thump on the head, Tsuna.]

You need the experience leading such things.

[not_mafia]

Ow!

[He holds his head and looks at Reborn, still horrified.]

You-- you just--! [HE CAN'T] Reborn!!

[is_mafia]

[...Where does he even start with this.

Other than the fact that Reborn just said that Tsuna was mafia. And they had been trying so hard to keep that not public knowledge. He vaguely wondered how many people would connect that to him that actually already didn't know. And how much trouble they would get into from other people

Actually, he didn't want to think about it. It gave him a headache. He more wanted to think about the fact that he's quite proud of Tsuna for doing this (even if Reborn was probably pushing him). Though he definitely needed practice in the speech-giving department. And a bit more confidence.

Oh, and he should really say something as well.]

I hope you're not planning on going without me, bambino.

[It's more teasing than anything, but yes he is totally coming no matter what. He doesn't trust Tsuna alone in the Dead Zone (or anywhere, actually), and it's not like he would stop worrying if he didn't go. Having an eye on Tsuna gives him a peace of mind about his trouble-finding grandson.]

yes that

[not_mafia]

Oh, Giotto--!

[He definitely calms down a bit at the sound of his grandfather's voice.]

Ah, well, that is, if you don't mind coming along...

yup

[greatesthitman]

[He'd say he'd feel bad about it but really, it's Reborn. He'll hide such things about Giotto for him because of the respect he has for the man but Tsuna? Well the boy needs the push. He'll forever be convinced of that.

So there really is no shame in this.]

We would be honored, Primo. [...Okay no so maybe he'll just spill EVERYONE'S secret today.]

Does Tsunie even know how to put together a tent...?

fuck zelos filter forever

[not_mafia]

[sputtering]

O-of course I do!! [HE... TOTALLY READ SOME OF THOSE WILDERNESS GUIDEBOOK THINGS THAT... MIGHT HAVE GONE OVER TENT-PITCHING!! ... probably!!!]

A-and anyway, it's not like I'd be putting up everyone's tents for them or anything--!!

and ever

[greatesthitman]

Considering he can't even do basic math most days, I doubt that. But he has shown to be able to lead much more able than anything else.

[No really, the kid is a total fail at math.]

That Filter

[cyan_maid]

Hoo hoo, I don't have any objections!

[This is support Tsuna you are being brave it is good!]

That Filter

[not_mafia]

Jane-san... ah.. th-thanks.

[yes he is totally being brave! it did not take reborn throwing miscellaneous objects at him to get this up at all no siree]

[ filtered + dictated ]

[peacockherald]

Wise words, Tsuna. I have experience on these things if you wish help organizing, as do many others who no doubt want to go.

[ filtered + dictated ]

[not_mafia]

V-vanyel-san... [WHY DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIM HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAAAAND] U-um, yeah! That would probably be a lot of help. Since Reborn's clearly not letting me off with this thing...

[heal_theworld]

...I think you mean Earth, Reborn, not just the world.

[SORRY, SHE HAD TO CORRECT HIM because she is a bit of a troll and enjoys teasing him. Other than that...]

I'll be coming too, of course.

yes dat

[greatesthitman]

[AND SEE now he won't even bat an eye at that teasing.]

Earth is a world, but would you doubt my skills as the greatest hitman in the world to being limited only to a single place? [Derp derp don't mind him just going with this...]

[heliotroping]

[and the first thing he blurts in surprise]

Really?

[cough] ....About the mafia thing.

[not_mafia]

[kjhsdkjVASUFF] N-no!! Don't listen to him!

[savethedarkness]

I'm sorry, did you just say you're sending someone from the Mafia as the head of a rescue mission?!

[not_mafia]

N-no, he didn't say anything like that!! [tsuna it's written right there] He's-- he's saying nonsense!!

filter!

[waterproofed]

A mafia boss? Dude, that's awesome! I was gonna go on the trip anyway, but now I'm definitely going!

filter!

[not_mafia]

[OMFG PEOPLE ARE CRAZY HERE TOO] I'm not a mafia boss!!

[scaler]

[She had ignored the first noble speech, and the second, and all the ones after that, but hearing this one, and reading all these responses--]

You can't be fucking serious.

[She's been here two days and suddenly the journal is covered in BATSHIT INSANITY.]

[not_mafia]

[oh thank god yes get all the opposition he doesn't want to do this]

H-he's crazy, right?

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe's glad someone else is taking charge and all but...]

Have you ever lead anything like this before? I mean... something like this is a lot different than the mafia.

[not_mafia]

I keep telling everyone I don't want to lead it, but my tutor won't let it go!

[last_rat_standing]

[He sighs, suddenly glad he's sitting this one out]

Yes that's very comforting, thank you.

[not_mafia]

[Mostly talking to himself:]

Ahh, he finally went and said it. What are people even going to think now...?

[Tsuna]

[ino]

[ ... wow she never expected Tsuna to be leading one of these things. ... or for reborn to let everyone know about the mafia thing ]

Um ... everything alright over there, Tsuna?

[Ino]

[not_mafia]

[and the lesson here today is never underestimate reborn

also, have some pathetic whining.]

It's like home all over again...

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[....All ... right...]

Okay. I don't know what the 'mafia' is but I'm guessing it's ... impressive?

[She was sixteen when she won her first Games, after all, and seventeen when she fought in a war. Age has nothing to do with experience.]

[Of course the fact that the boy is sweating through a simple message is not filling her with confidence. Still.]

Right, well, Lara and I were considering scouting ahead to see if this was a trap, and I also have a list of people who are armed and are coming along.

Dictated

[not_mafia]

I-it's definitely not impressive!

[Though he pauses at the latter part of the message as oh hey that's actually kind of useful! Although he's pretty sure something like that wouldn't be a trap.]

Ah-- I-I don't know if you should go ahead! Even if it's the two of you, what if those Collector guys got to you?

[gottaknockhard]

[... As much as he's just been listening to the buzz around this thing, that last remark perks him up.]

Tsuna, huh?

[not_mafia]

A-ah... y.. yes?

[This must be the "teenager in charge" Carolina mentioned.]

Hi. York here. Look, I was just on a loss so I think I missed exactly what happened here but, uh--is there a reason we haven't already set out? Winchester and Fairfield should be only a couple hours if we use the steam sleighs that, er, Santa Claus built.

[Same Filter]

[not_mafia]

[no i'm sorry nothing else you just said mattered]

Wh-what?! S-santa Claus? [WHAT]

[toobravehearted]

[He'll just eye his journal for a minute. Then look up to the ceiling and roll his eyes. Doesn't this person appear to sound quite, er, young? Not that he's one to judge, of course...]

Impressive credentials and I couldn't agree more, on the helping or the hurrying.

[not_mafia]

I-ignore what he said! All that's important is that we get ready to get going.

dictated;

[ensorceler]

[ I'm sorry, but what? How old are you? ]

What is the mafia? This claim means little to me, and you sound too young and timid to have any true experience in leading such a progress.

dictated;

[not_mafia]

[excuse you he is fifteen years old!! PRACTICALLY A YOUNG ADULT OKAY]

I-it's nothing! Nothing important. A-and that's true, but... it doesn't really matter who leads, right? So as long as we still do everything we have to, and keep safe...

[silentrunning]

[Chell pipes up.]

I'm in. I'll go...If you don't mind someone who's never been on an expedition.

[not_mafia]

Ah... W-well, it's going to be dangerous, you know. It's not exactly going to be a field trip.
