🧙 WHO: Tsuna and You
⚔️️ WHAT: December happenings, quests and chaos
🕒 WHEN: throughout December
🗺️ WHERE: In Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: n/a but could be added if necessary



A - Avalon Crossing: Snowy Shack Paradise

This doesn't make any sense.

[Says Tsuna, as he stands beside a mound of snow and holding a card out in his hands. This had to be a mistake, Tsuna had only made the snowball on a lark. It hadn't meant to be the entry into a sidequest.

But here he was. With a mound of snow and a request to make an Indoor Tropical Paradise. Out of snow?

Tsuna sighs, pulling on his mittens and rather glad that even if they cannot become the Vongola gloves, they still work as regular mittens. Perhaps even better, since they come from Leon's fibres.

At the very least, he can make a fort? That's a start, right?

B - Banyanished Banyananas!

[Tsuna probably shouldn't be looking into this.

The dark web isn't a place he should be looking. But ever since he'd heard about criminal groups using it, particularly when a mafia-sounding group was harassing the refugees, he's been keeping an eye on it. It bothers him that he does it. He's supposed to be avoiding this kind of thing and yet now he's being drawn in of his own volition.

But seeing the quest about the Prison makes his heart sink and he knows he can't ignore it. It reminds him too much about Vindice and their prison. And while he doesn't know the full extent of that operation, he knows enough that it bothers him. (He thinks of Mukuro, Ken, and Chikusa, and as dangerous as they are, they don't deserve that. There might be dangerous people in this prison, but they don't deserve to have their souls sucked away).

And so he's at the library, researching banyan trees and occasionally glancing around furtively, as if someone might catch him in the act.

And eventually, an anonymous message appears on the network:]

What do people know about the underground fae prison>

C - Christmas Chaos

[He'd entered the toy store on a whim.

Even if Camelot didn't celebrate Christmas it was getting to that time of year, and well, maybe Tsuna was attached to a few traditions. And he did have friends who could probably use a gift. He'd really just meant to look at the toys, as he had time to actually decide on purchases. It was a unique store, with handmade wooden toys. Something you'd be more likely to see in a TV special than in real life.

He'd only meant to look.

He was examining some wooden robots, and even dared to pick one up to see how it could move its arms and legs, when there was a shout from behind him and he turned quickly to see the store attendant, a young man dressed ing a green uniform, wobbling on a ladder. Body acting on instinct, Tsuna dove to help him, only in his turn and the dive he knocked over several displays. Toys and decorations came crashing down and to add insult to injury, he was unsuccessful in even helping the attendant, who lands with an "oof" on the floor. There is a scramble of hasty apologies and an attempt to help clean up, when the back door opens and a large man in a red suit with a white beard storms into the room.

The red of his face nearly matches the red of his pants as he surveys the scene and stern eyes land on Tsuna, who cowers.

Anyway, that's how Tsuna finds himself running around town, dressed as a jolly green Christmas-like elf. Maybe you see him trying to drag a cart of wood around, maybe he's buying paint at a store, maybe he's just doing a good old-fashioned coffee run. He's trying not to be seen though, even if he does stick out.]

Comments

[bakudan_bambino]

!!!

[Gokudera is seething, but he’s following his boss’s orders. He turns his nose up and gets back to focusing on the tropical getaway.]

Volleyball is a great idea, Tenth!

[Especially if they’re treating the snow like sand, or they could make a court out of ice.]

[apshot]

[ Look, he's just going to keep ignoring the Mop Head. Just because Bakugou's special brand of "help" isn't all soft and mushy doesn't mean that he's not helpful. ]

De- [ HUFF. ] Izuku and I were trapped in this place that was all ice and snow. Furnishings were made of ice and so were the light structures and everything like that. I mean you're essentially trying to build a doll house without knowing that you want it to look like. So start with that first.

[ The "yard" or whatever can come after they have an idea of what the place itself will look like? ]

[theskyaccepts]

Hiee? You know Midoriya-kun?

[Is Tsuna just putting this together now? Yeah, he might be. Because that's important right now.

But, a second moment's though does allow Tsuna to understand what Bakugou's saying. He supposes he had been thinking about it more like a snow fort, with minimal furnishings and more just space.]

I guess we could come up with a bit more of a plan...

[They have Gokudera's decorations, so that's a start.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Dusty! Are you ‘Kacchan’?

[Gokudera asks, tone lilting in a bit of a tease. He sits back, a little more relaxed then tears at the bag he’d brought along. Next, he’s gathering a few twigs and pushing them into the ‘wall’ Tsuna had constructed. He gathers and pierces each end of the torn bag, then places a marble and flower inside. Ta-da~! A hammock!]

[apshot]

[ He grunts. Of course Izuku would know the both of these losers. Who doesn't he know? ]

I better fucking know him since I'm dating the shitnerd. The same shitnerd that's been yelling "Kacchan" at the top of his lungs since we were brats.

[ Because that's just the truth of it. They've known each other forever, for better or worse. He's not going to be teased about it either because you know what? Bakugou gives no fucks that Izuku still calls him by that nickname. ]

Draw the layout you want in the snow. Make a floor plan before anything else.

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna has. So many questions. Though they are likely questions he would feel more comfortable asking Midoriya than Bakugou. Probably less yelling.]

I...I had no idea. Small world I guess...

[He's a little lost for words. Not entirely sure what to say on that point.

But, right, the task at hand.]

But, that is a good idea, actually.

[And Tsuna will take one of the twigs to start drawing, keeping in mind what they already have. The hammock can be a bedroom maybe? Or a sunroom?]

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera is honestly snickering over the nickname 'shitnerd' and the cute 'kacchan.' His cheeks hurt a bit by the time he stops and he's blown away by hearing that they're dating.

That's... an interesting couple. Hearing that someone so nice like Midoriya is with this guy, though... that's rough. Gokudera feels sorry for the Greenie.]

That's really unexpected. [He looks the blonde up and down from where he's actively squatting on the ground. Eh, Dusty must not be a bad guy, but he really is so rude and pointlessly aggressive. Must be draining to be around someone like him.]

Poor Greenie...

[He mutters and joins his boss in drawing the floorplans. It seems so needlessly complicated. Gokudera feels like a tropical igloo would be far more appealing, but then, he's not a fairy, so what does he know? Nothing, that's what.]

[apshot]

Really? The fuck is it a "small world" when chances are that he's definitely talked about hero crap and I've definitely mentioned shit too.

[ Though he almost bristles at "unexpected." Because WHY THE FUCK should it be? And this asshole is just looking at him without even -

But then again no one's really seen the vicious side of Izuku, have they? Probably not. ]

It's only "unexpected" because you don't have all the facts. Facts being I might actually love the little shit, annoying and as reckless as he can be.

[ But argh! This is not something he should get all defensive about but goddamn it. Gokudera has actually went through the whole emotional sharing bullshit. Who does he think half of those emotions were targeted at?

WHATEVER.

He's going to just make a chair out of hard light and sit in it. See where this shitty thing goes because now he's somewhat fuming and kind of invested. ]

Don't have to make it complex. Or do. I don't care.

[theskyaccepts]

[Truthfully, Tsuna really only knows the basics about their world. He's reluctant to ask questions most of the time, since that opens up the possibility of him being asked. And well, that just leads down a road that Tsuna really doesn't want to go down. It's all well and good to be a Superhero. Being the heir to a Mafia empire? That's a bit of a more difficult explanation, as much as it is an unwelcome aspect of Tsuna's life.

But for as much as Tsuna is intimidated by Bakugou, Tsuna can't help but smile. He has a better idea of who Bakugou is now, and someone who cares that much can't be that bad of a guy.]

I'd never really asked him before, really, and you're right, I didn't have all the facts.

[But his focus goes to the floor plan.]

We probably don't need too many rooms since we have a lot outside to...

[bakudan_bambino]

Hey! I've never heard you "mention shit". [He does the little finger quotation marks.] Didn't even know you knew the guy. You never bring him up.

You're just very fucking rude, so it's unexpected that you'd even be in a relationship.

[Gokudera that's not nice.

Oh well, he doesn't really care. To each their own or whatever.]

Why the hell would we have all the facts about your relationship? It's none of our business.

[It's cool that Greenie has someone, though. Gokudera's happy for him that Dusty loves him, but he's a little more curious about what this guy is like when he isn't being a dick. Maybe Midoriya is into that? He just watches the other make himself a seat.]

How's it feel to just bark orders and not actually be that helpful? If you don't care, why are you even still here?

[Then, back to Tsuna.]

Good point, Tenth. If I wanted a tropical place, I'd want it mostly outdoor anyways... Maybe we can make a nice deck connected to it, so it's easier. It should hold better, too, y'know? Wider at the base...

[apshot]

[ Actually, that's very fair. Two hero teen might not be that great to talk to about mafia things. But then again the both of them are kind of frequently around an ancient mage that's kind of hellbent on killing everyone off to save his planet and then killing himself off.

So not everything is so black and white? But hard saying! ]

Like fuck you aren't rude yourself, Mophead! I didn't do shit but actually help you the first time I met you and you've been an asshole since! [ He looks over to Tsuna too. ] Both of you, in fact. Just because I ain't all sunshine and rainbows about it doesn't mean that I haven't been doing shit.

[ Katsuki's just got his own way about it. Just like right now. ]

As far as me not doing shit... M'waiting for you to draw the basic outline of where the walls are gonna be in the snow first. Then you'll see what Imma do.

[theskyaccepts]

You don't have to be but you could be nicer about it.

[It's probably more of a mutter than anything else but Tsuna quickly turns back to the house. If Bakugou's got a plan, he's willing to at least give it a try.

He draws a base, hopefully going off of what Gokudera was explaining.]

So like this?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera tussled with Ochako. He’ll be careful regardless of who Bakugou knows and associates with. It’ll be better to remain cautious until he gets to talking it out with the Tenth.

And the boss is the only thing keeping him from lobbing dynamite recklessly at the blonde right then and there.

He won’t deny being rude. Gokudera can be rude. It takes him a moment to recall when Dusty last helped him out. He… dragged him into a bathroom? Denied helping him out when he was afflicted by that weird dog curse.

Gokudera won’t just sit there and listen to Bakugou call the Tenth rude.]

Tch-!

The last time I remember actually asking for your help, I was under clear distress and you acted as if you couldn’t be bothered. Why try to help and insist you’re helping when you refuse to help when it’s asked of you?

[He shrugs and shakes his head. Try not to fight, Gokudera…]

Right. [He could be nicer.]

Meanwhile the Tenth and I are actually working.

I don’t think you’re rude, Tenth.

[Gokudera creates a light wall, moves snow against it, then makes another. It’s easy enough to drop the light magic away and use it to create the frames, the support.

All three of them have elemental magic, and Gokudera will do what he wants for the Tenth… to be his support. He’s a little suspicious that Bakugou is going to try to make them both look bad by busting out some random artistic skill combined with his magic.]

That’s perfect, Tenth.

[Gokudera lines the wall up with the base his boss draws in the snow. He’s creating a layer of ice to fortify the walls he’s constructing so far.]

[apshot]

[ Look, he knows that he could be nice. Yes, Bakugou gets it. Yes, yes, yes. Would he like to be? Yeah, sure. He'd like to be able to just smile and shit and have a bunch of people just instantly trust him and all that wonderful stuff. But that's not how he is. That's not who he is. As much as he'd like to be different, he knows he's not. So all he can do is to the best that he can do and that's all. ]

Sounds like to me that you should be used to working with jerks.

[ For Tsuna, anyway. Because as far as he sees it, Gokudera is one. Except this guy. And yeah he had been put out but that's because Mophead wouldn't fucking explain the entire situation! Katsuki isn't going to do one thing or another just blind! He might have been helping someone in the wrong.

But whatever. He's not going to explain or justify himself.

What he is going to do though, is exactly what Gokudera expects him to do. Which is create the walls based off of the plan drawn in the snow once he puts his hand out. And yeah, they are somewhat stylized. More like the walls themselves are frosty so that nothing can be seen. ]

How about you get some food coloring, huh?

[ Because he's got some ideas for windows. ]

[theskyaccepts]

I am, but Gokudera-kun isn't one of them.

[Tsuna knows that Gokudera can be difficult, and that he's managed to move beyond those initial walls. But even at his worst, Tsuna can definitely say that he's dealt with far bigger jerks. And then somehow, they end up following him.

Jury's still out on how he managed that.

But he catches on to what Bakugou's ideas are, and well, he's impressed. And if this is going to avoid a curse, he's willing to work together.]

Gokudera-kun, did you get any? Or should I run and get some?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera was trying to ask Bakugou to hand off gold, a book, and an apology letter to an angry shopkeeper who wouldn’t hear him out. He didn’t know enough about the curse he was under to explain why he couldn’t go into the shop. Didn’t know it was the door to the shop and it’s little welcoming chime that set it off.

He’s not going to explain any of that now. Bakugou hadn’t wanted to help him when he’d needed it.]

That guy and I have the same magic.

[So sure, yeah, okay it’s impressive and Gokudera is already doing what Bakugou planned on doing. They are doing the same thing, and he’s even more annoyed now because his boss is impressed.

Impressed that Bakugou is copying him!

He isn’t. They just had the same idea because they have the same magic, and are using it the same way.]

No need, Tenth. We have pigmentia.

[They can change the color at will.

Gokudera touches the ice and it changes to a blue, runs his finger along one of those walls and it turns pink.]

[apshot]

[ That's exactly how it is - just the same magic and same idea. Gokudera and Bakugou have the exact same magic types. ]

Unfortunately true.

[ But... Gokudera's doing something else. Katsuki tilts his head, brow raised as the ice changes color. ]

How the fuck did you do that?

[ Bakugou is actually something of a nerd too, really. So his question is out of pure curiosity. ]

[theskyaccepts]

[Well, with the same magic, things should go a lot easier then. Tsuna's not quite sure where his elements can come in but he supposes he can use his Revised Zero Point Breakthrough (element edition), somehow. Maybe to make some cool spikes?]

Well, with two light powers, this should be easy, right? And that looks really cool! Maybe we can make, like a sunset pattern?

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera doesn’t understand what Bakugou’s motive is to helping his boss, but he’s pretty set on being grouchy at the blond.]

Pigmentia. Look it up.

[He’d provide more information, but doesn’t feel like it. There’s a school and a library, after all. It was something he learned early on when he arrived. There are still a few first-arrivals like the Tenth that also know Pigmentia.

If he heard the Tenth potentially mention adding spikes Gokudera would ask if he could try making ice palm trees.]

Red on the bottom and getting lighter as it goes up, then?

[A little prodding here and there and it seems as though he’s able to shift the color with his touch. The color spreads and he has to pull back to avoid making a wall of solid red.

Gokudera twists, then touches three snow piles, turning the colors of each so there is a pile of red, orange, and yellow.]

Great idea, Tenth. Can you help me gather more snow?

[Those piles are sitting there should Bakugou decide to use them for further construction.]

[apshot]

Asshole.

[ Look, he can do what he wants. If that means helping someone out, then Bakugou is going to help someone out. That's all that there is do it.

But whatever. The blonde will huff and snatch up some snow. Don't mind him as he starts to just takes chunks of it and mold them into things like couches and chairs. Something relatively easy that can be done without the use of magic. ]

[theskyaccepts]

Sure.

[Tsuna says to Gokudera. He's happy enough to help out in this way, not having a lot in the artistic department. And there might just be a little smile on his face as Bakugou starts to help out as well.

He picks up the shovel and soon returns back with a new pile of snow.]

[bakudan_bambino]

[He can do what he wants. Be a jerk. Go ahead and help in your own way, Bakugou. Gokudera has this under control, as far as he’s concerned. He will not be shown up in front of the boss.

Working together with the Tenth is far more rewarding than trying to order him around and claiming that is ‘help’.]

Thanks, boss! Here…

[He’s using his magic to change those piles into three different colors, then looking over at the furniture Bakugou is making.]

You want those any certain colors?

[Just going to ignore the ‘asshole’ comment.]

[apshot]

[ Wow. Gokudera competitive much? There's really no reason to be. Katsuki isn't thinking of it that way. He's just going to settle items that he makes into the ice house. couch. chair. Whatever. ]

I don't know. Whatever your boss thinks since this is technically his mission or whatever?

[ Yeap. Yeah. Katsuki sure caught onto that bit of information. And is now scowling. ]

[theskyaccepts]

[Competition is better than combat, as far as Tsuna is concerned. It's closest he knows to peace when it comes to his friends. (It's unfortunate that that seems to be the Vongola way).]

Well, since it's supposed to be a tropical theme, so maybe tropical colours? Like reds for the sunset and then maybe some blue for the ocean?

[Just not gonna say anything about the boss comment.]

[bakudan_bambino]

[SO competitive! Even without a reason.

He looks on at the other when he answers, lifts an eyebrow, nods, then looks back to Tsuna, all smiles and enthusiasm.]

If we’re doing the walls in shades of the sunset, maybe blues and greens will stand out more?

[Gokudera turns the couch a emerald green, the chairs lime green, and he passes them off to Tsuna to place them in the house.]

Like that? And ice windows, oh! Maybe I can make green polka-dot curtains!

[He pokes at the curtains, more light-shaped mounds of snow against the windows, and there are little spots following each prod.]
