DAY TWO

[ino]

[Another beautiful day in Konoha!



So you've been here for a day. You've had plenty of time to get into trouble and get to know your way around. How about going on a mission with your team, then? Or maybe that new movie opening up today piques your interest ...]

[ MISSION ASSIGNMENT DESK | VACATION | MOVIE THEATER | SHUSHUYA | YAKINIKU Q

For more information on the village and its locations, check out Narutopedia, or feel free to contact me through PM/IM (terraqueous orb)/Plurk (chomesuke) for any questions! The only NPCs in this post will be Gai and the old lady in the opt-out threads, but feel free to NPC any civilian or ninja townspeople you need to. DAY ONE is still open for backtagging!]

No, it's not legal for me to drink until I'm twenty.

--and hey!! Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I have to prove it with something like that!

[heal_theworld]

Seems like a silly rule. I wouldn't listen to it. [Ladies and Gentleman...Martel Yggdrasill. DELINQUENT. Granny is such a rebel.]

[ino]

There isn't really a rule like that here, anyways.

[not_mafia]

Heh? What are you guys saying? [are you implying something here]

[wilder]

They're saying break some of your rules or get working on your maze, Tsunie!

[not_mafia]

What? You really want me to drink?? W-why? [ALCOHOL IS GROSS :(]

[heal_theworld]

Well, not if you really don't want to, but you also don't have to drink that. [She waves a hand at the sippy cup.]

[ino]

Yeah, the sippy cup is a bit much ... [she says with a chuckle. it was still funny, though ...]

[whichwayyoulean]

We could have kept him going for a lot longer, you know.

[not_mafia]

C-can't I just get some soda, or something?

[He looks forlornly at Ino.] They do have soda here, don't they?

[ino]

Soda? No. I'd never heard of it until I got to Paradisa. [she pauses] There's juice? Or water?

[fanstheflame]

[just has been watching this whole thing, wide-eyed. he's torn between "geez leave him alone" and "holy crap, YOU'RE fifteen", because ... well ... he's only three years older, and ... yeah. well. keeping his In Panem We Start Sending Twelve Year Olds Out To Kill Each Other opinions to himself. the point is not to traumatize him further, after all.]

[wilder]

Soda's gross anyway. [it's FIZZY. What the hell is that?]

[heal_theworld]

...isn't it that stuff that fizzes and tastes like someone liquified sugar? [Martel thinks soda is gross too.]

[not_mafia]

That's it? [Ughghgh he doesn't really care for juice and he's definitely not going to have it after they teased him about it. ): And water's kind of gross too, but, well, at least it's something...

But the real question is, if he does decide to go for water, how likely is it that Zelos will let him live down this embarrassment?

Probably about as likely as him winning Konoha's non-existent lottery.]

[ino]

And milk, I guess? [a little frown at Tsuna.

but more importantly, she'll turn to Gale and give his hand a little squeeze. he's been really quiet ... ARE HER FRIENDS TOO WEIRD FOR YOU, GALE ...]

[fanstheflame]

[Gale shrugs a bit, and squeezes her hand back. it's cool, he just ... has no idea where to even start contributing to this craziness. or, well, he didn't until now]

We didn't have soda where I'm from, either. I think ... maybe they had it in the Capitol, but only the really rich people could get it.

[just like anything else, his tone seems to suggest]

[wilder]

[Rich people, ahem, awkward. He catches that tone, but Zelos does not want to start anything between Gale since he likes the dude well enough, so instead he'll settle for giving a sly smile at Tsuna indicating that yes, it's a real crappy gamble to go for water with Zelos around]

[heal_theworld]

[She blinks. Rich people? She gives a small glance over at Zelos, and then doesn't comment. Let's not start that with Ino's boyfriend.] You could have water, I suppose.

[fanstheflame]

[amused] Maybe if you order a juice and just let it sit on the table long enough, it'll ferment into alcohol.

[ino]

[--oh hey, that gives her an idea! she snaps her fingers]

I've got it!

[she'll reach over to open the sippy cup ... pours a little alcohol in there with the juice. AND THEN LOOKS PROUD OF HERSELF. good job ino, you figured out mixed drinks]

There!

[whichwayyoulean]

Now all he needs is one of those little fake umbrellas.

1/3

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna stiffens a little at that look. Goddamnit big bro. And then he goes 'eh?' and watches when Ino pours some of her drink into his. Ignoring Once-ler's comment, he reaches forward, reluctantly taking the cup and looking down at it.

Maaa, well, if it'll get everyone to stop bothering me at least...

He wrinkles his nose before bringing the drink up and taking a swig.]

2/3

[not_mafia]

[And then his eyes suddenly widen, and he flails for a moment before desperately spitting the drink out.]

Bluh! It's just as bad as I thought it'd be, even with the juice!

3/3

[not_mafia]

[As he sticks his tongue out, he realizes...

Zelos' plan backfired horribly and Tsuna ended up spitting it on him.

Oh.

He's going to die, isn't he?]
