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

[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.]

Wait, no, aren't explosives dangerous even if they are handled properly? What sort of guy just casually has a friend who specializes in that sort of stuff? A habit?

[He was right, this guy's probably a gangster of some sort! Aaah but he looked so nice, too, but then again he also has a friend with a scary glare, too...]

For the handler? Not particularly. Explosives handled correctly are as reliable as any other weapon.

It's his weapon of choice, obviously. [Clearly!! AND WOW acquaintances with bel is bad enough, pls don't.]

That's... never mind. [One should not set off explosives it's not a matter of how properly you handle it, gosh! Bombs are bad.]

Um, I feel like if I ask anymore I'm going to step into a territory someone like me shouldn't step into so I'll stop, but... if there's anything about here you want to ask about, I might be able to help.

[Well that's a curious choice of words.]

Someone like you? [He looks into a camera for the moment, then shrugs.] I don't have anything to hide, and I certainly won't come after you if I tell you. I've already said much of what I'm involved in the the other respondant.

[Man, since when has he been out to get himself so bad? The past few months must have given him a harder time than he'd realized... but that could go without saying, really. So he gives a sigh, trying to at least appear a little more casual and friendly.]

Sorry, I usually try not to make a habit of scaring people. [He gives a polite smile.] Would you be able to give me an idea of the going rate for a small house with the necessities? Running water, electricity...

I'm too ignorant about that sort of stuff to know when to take your words at face value. [a pause, then he sort of squeaks] I-I mean, I don't mean to be rude about it! But... I have this recent bad experience with people who use bombs and their friends, and--

[He clears his throat.]

... I think it depends. There's no government running this city so I don't actually know how water and electricity are handled outside of the Initiative. But I do know someone who got himself a house so he might be able to help. His name is Asch, and he's been fixing up his place for a couple months now.

It's a reasonable response to have. Not many people think of quarries or demolition teams when they think of bombers, after all. If it is any consolation, my friend is not here-- though if he were, you would have no need to fear him.

Asch... I will contact him, then. [Eventually.] Thank you. My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, by the way, though I go by Tsuna for everyone else's sake.

[He sighs, still looking a little wary but ultimately nodding.]

It's no problem. I'm Kisaragi Shintaro. There're a couple of us... so Shintaro's fine, too.
