OTA | September Catch-All

🧙 WHO: Gokudera and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Birthday stuff/ Open and closed prompts/ Catch-all for September
🕒 WHEN: Throughout September
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: foul language; mentions of murder; will update as necessary



A. A boy and his leopard

Gokudera doesn't let Uri out very often. For starters, the teenager does not have animal magic and can't tell when his weapon-turned-pet is feeling any sort of way. The young adult leopard is well-fed, growls a lot, and stalks about in his attic apartment, climbing the indoor tree, but he won't deny it freedom. He could put a leash on Uri, but that doesn't seem right. Maybe because he has a collar about his own neck, and this animal is not just some house cat. Uri is... or was an extension of his spirit. To have the Storm Leopard now just a leopard feels unfair. Their connection is lost, and he won't demand the creature stay inside.

Uri hesitates to leave the apartment at first when he welcomes the cat outside, but once he coaxes the cat out, it's staying close, hunkering down, and growling at anyone they pass.

He can be seen walking down the streets of New Camelot with the leopard sticking to his side. Once they are out on the training grounds, Gokudera is sitting down with the big cat, trying to talk with it.

"I hid some food out here for you earlier. You want to find it and take it home to your tree, or should we look for a new tree out here?"

The leopard licks at its paw and gives a rumbling purr before rolling about.

"Uri, you can nap when we get back home. You're supposed to have fun out here..." He pleads, looking apologetic. The leopard doesn't seem upset, though, and gets up before jumping at his back and pinning him down. It's licking at the back of his head, and he's letting out a muffled, distressed yell. That tongue is rough and his neck is sensitive. To anyone who knows anything about his problems with his collar, they can probably tell that this activity probably isn't pleasant for him.



B. Wild accusations | TL;DR Gokudera is accused of being a Selkie

[Gokudera is talking to a man at the Lake, and there seems to be an argument. It seems the boy is arguing that he saved a selkie woman and the man is accusing him of murdering a fisherman who had trapped her.

Aggravated, the boy throws his hands up and turns. He stares out at the water and then stops talking and just walks into the water, further and further in. A few bubbles rise to the surface, then abruptly stop. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen. The boy does not come up, there's no sign of him.

But the real Gokudera is looking for anything that may have been left behind by the selkie he and Yamamoto saved some months ago. The late fisherman's house seems in a state of disrepair, relatively vandalized, but still standing and sturdy.

He leaves carefully and quietly with a bag of fabrics, his old bloodied clothes he'd hidden from before. It'd be a sneaky escape, but the man he'd fooled turns and catches him. He's accusing Gokudera of all sorts of things, and then backing the boy into the water of the lake. Gokudera turns and dives in, swimming off as far as he can go until his familiar cloaks him.]


If I ever see you again, I'm taking your skin!

[Gokudera can hear that angered yell over the water and he can be found later on bobbing about in the water. Try to convince him to come out? Ask him what happened? Swim right up to him? The weather isn't cold enough for the water to be too unpleasant, and the angry man is leaving so maybe the boy will get out of the water. He's going to take out his device and ask for help.]

What should I do to prove I'm not a selkie?



[Feel free to put up your own prompt. Also! Prose/brackets are fine! I'll match whichever]

"Right!" Tsuna yells, wincing. While he'd managed to get the block up in time, he still lost some health and has to dive out of the way to avoid a couple punches before the boss turns his attention to Gokudera.

He lets out another laugh and then uses the same charging move. It seems to be a set pattern.

Tsuna shakes his head and recovers, charging in with his quarterstaff to land a few more hits. It's not an especially sophisticated attack, definitely closer to button mashing than anything else, but with Gokudera's combined attacks it's whittling down that health bar.

"Hiee! Was that a special attack, Gokudera-kun?"

There's another flurry of movements from Tsuna as he attempts to figure out how to unlock his.

"That was really cool!"

The boss, however, yells and seems to move a bit fast, clearly going into his last ditch effort mode.

Tsuna quickly sidesteps out the way, which turns into a less than graceful roll. When he gets up, he nods, though a part of him is reluctant to let go of the weapon, considering the boss's attack.

"Do I have to strike a pose to charge it, or is it all ready to go?"

Because he'll throw if he has to. For now, he just picks a stance that he hopes looks cool.

Tsuna nods, kind of wishing that his Vongola Intuition would help with something like this, but instead he goes for another charge, while also flailing his stick in a hopes that something will activate.

And as the stick connects, it does. There's a smooth series of spins and strikes that add up to a combo attack as Tsuna lands in an automatic pose. "That was nothing" says a little voice.

Tsuna manages a small smile, pleased with himself, before that quickly fades in favour of panicking about Gokudera taking a hit. There's a small voice in the back of his head trying to remind him that it's just a game but he's still nervous and rushes over.

"Are you okay, Gokudera-kun?"

He's got to have a healing item before they do a final attack.

"Right. Uh....when he starts coming towards us, let's try and get behind him and attack from there? If we both attack, it should beat him!"

He looks around the space. There should be enough room to them to flank the boss if they do this right. Or at least get away.

"We might? It's worth a try and if we can land a hit either way, it'll be a win!"

Tsuna is pretty confident about this, and well, they've seen some special attacks already so there must be a combination one.

Tsuna nods, waiting for a half second to see what the Boss is going to do.

"Okay, now!" he shouts as the Boss begins its attack, and charges forward, quarter staff raised.
theskyaccepts: (flame)

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2021-12-14 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Tsuna steps in to the open pause, swinging with all his might. As the quarterstaff connects, there is a flash of light and a wavy, technicolour background of blues and greens appears, placing Tsuna and Gokudera on opposite sides of the boss.

They charge at the boss, picking up speed and going into a rapid attack pattern, before striking a final blow and posing with a "You can't stop us!" slogan of victory. The boss falls behind them, fading into items and experience.

"I guess that was all it took!"
theskyaccepts: (brighter)

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2021-12-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! We did it!"

He holds up his hand for a high five.

"That last attack was pretty cool. I wonder if there's more we can do, with like, different weapons or something?"
theskyaccepts: (brighter)

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2021-12-17 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you want to keep going on to the next level then? We did beat the boss for this one..."

There's still more game after all, and a chance for them to play around now that they've got the basics down.
