Vongola I -- Video -- Action open to those bumming in the gymnasium

[vongola_x]

[The screen turns on to show a young man clad in a cape and suit. He gives a friendly smile.]

Good eve--

[A loud explosion comes from a neighboring room. The smile instantly fades away to a disgruntled look as he sighs.]

Let's try this again. Good evenin--

[Another explosion. He sets the tablet in his lap and sets one of his cheeks in his hand, his other drumming on the tablet in irritation.]

You know, it might have actually been quieter in the courtyard than it is here. [He sighs.] Might as well get to the point, since I can't seem to even get out the pleasantries. If anybody from the Vongola or allied families are here, please let me know. And if you could, get me out of this gymnasi--

[And then there's a really loud explosion. The room shakes a little.]

You know, I've half a mind to go and tell whoever is doing that that training is not the equivalent of trying to destroy the structure you're currently inside.

[Oh, wait. Did he talk about the Mafia over public network? Damnit. Bad habit from his late tutor. Oh well, not much to be done for it now.]

That aside-- I wouldn't suppose someone would be looking for a roommate, in case none of my friends are here? I can't say I'm much good at cooking, but I could help with other chores, at least. ... and paperwork, I guess, if you need someone to slap signatures all over for some reason. It wouldn't have to be a permanent arrangement, just until I'm able to afford my own place. Or until housing in the apartments opens up, I suppose.

... whoever was making explosions just now sure did get quiet, didn't they? [He looks thoughtfully toward the wall.] Hopefully they didn't blow themselves up. Bombers have a tendency to do that in my experience. [And then back at the tablet. He nods.] Thank you for your time. [And then he cuts the feed.]

Comments

[mansopp]

A true sniper uses whatever it takes to take down his target! Even if he has to shoot grenades at them!

[Usopp pantomimes shooting a finger-gun with a flourish. Of course, what Usopp thinks a sniper is and what Tsuna might expect are a little... different.]

I guess you wound up here because you're a warrior too?

[vongola_x]

[The smile he makes is more genuine this time. The enthusiasm is endearing; it reminds him of a friend at home.]

A warrior? [He plops his cheek into his hand with a sigh.] I do have some fighting abilities, that's true... but I'd prefer not to use them if I could. Of course, it seems the Initiative has other plans for me.

[mansopp]

[Usopp tilts his head. People not wanting to fight? That is strangely a rather bizarre concept for the guy to absorb. Maybe Tsuna is really, really strong and doesn't like to scrap with weaklings.]

I guess they wouldn't have brought you here if they didn't need you. The sooner we help them out, the sooner we can be on our way.

What kind of weapon did you take from them?

[vongola_x]

[The first two comments just get a noncommital "mm". On his way where, back to a possible grave...?

So he just focuses on the question.]

I got my own weapon modified, actually. I use a pair of gloves that help me channel my powers.
