🧙 WHO: Tsuna and you
⚔️️ WHAT: Open log; Network Post + General Happenings for March
🕒 WHEN: Throughout March
🗺️ WHERE: Around town
⚠️ WARNINGS: GARBO


A - Network; un: tsuna27

[He'd noticed it a few days after the battle, really. His hands were sore. Aching really. It made sense, with all the fighting he did. He wasn't fighting like he normally did, and his mittens didn't provide the same kind of protection as his gloves did. (And he's reluctant to wear the mittens in battle. Leon isn't here to restore anything after all). He's not really sure what to do about though.

It's not like the cramps he gets after a long study session or day at school. They just hurt. Well, turning to the network helped once before.]

This might be a weird question, but is there a doctor or someone who specializes in hands?

B- GARBO Tuesday came early this year

[He had just wanted to help out. That's all he wanted to do.

But like so many of Tsuna's goals, it was not meant to be.

It had started out with a slow rumbling. And then the piles of refuse began to sway and move as a large, oozing, black mass emerges from the depths. Dark as night and smelling of dank, rotting trash, the villain takes shape, his massive, googly eyes rattling in an unsettling way that is impossible to track, even as it hones in on Tsuna. It seems to grow, constantly, until it almost blots out the calamity in the sky. And in a low, guttural voice, it speaks:]

I'm Garboman!

[Tsuna screams and reaches out with a hand, trying to, to use the old adage, kill it with fire. But the only thing that explodes from his hand is a small whiff of flame that barely makes it a foot. Frozen to the ground, Tsuna cannot move in the face of this monstrosity, who snatches him up with a black fist and holds Tsuna over his gaping maw.]

Got a Garbo offer for ya!

[Dangling over a pit of emptiness, it is indeed a Garbo offer.]

C- Flower Power

[It's safer out here, in the fields.

Calming, pleasant, nice even. The sun is shining, the sky is blue with white fluffy clouds. It's nice.

And Tsuna is happily sat in a field of flowers, humming to himself. There's no garbage, no bad dreams. Just him, and some flowers. It's a chance to practice his green magic. To help these little seedlings grow. He's proud of himself, of what he accomplished.

Of course. Magic still isn't cooperating.

Tsuna doesn't notice at first. It isn't really until he reaches for his spade to start digging the next hole for his seeds that he sees it. There are flowers growing up his arm. And steadily spreading to his chest and back and before Tsuna can get things under control, where Tsuna was sitting is now a vaguely human-shaped pile of flowers.

Tsuna looks around, panicked, desperately needing someone to help. Cast a counter spell. Anything. He's not even sure if he can move.]

Uh, excuse me! Could you help me please!

[Says the pile of flowers.]

(It doesn’t take long for Harry to drop his current task when he notices the Garbo’s presence and he rushes in to the scene, worrying for Tsuna’s safety and trying to think of a way to save him and defeat the trash can creature.)

A) un: dynamight

[apshot]

What's wrong with your hands?

[theskyaccepts]

They've been hurting. I started noticing it after the ghosts attacked.

[apshot]

Did you get them looked at by someone who knows healing magic or whatever?

[theskyaccepts]

No. I don't really know anyone like that.

It's not like they're injured though.

C

[bakudan_bambino]

[Odd. He’d thought the Tenth went out this way.

Gokudera had been stalking his boss as usual was going to follow him and spend some time relaxing with his friend, but instead just sits down. Wow… it’s not as comfortable as it looks. Kinda lumpy flowerbed out here.

And who is talking?!

Thinking there’s something wrong with this strange group of flowers, he gets up, thinking it’s some spirit or something. Nothing that cool ever happens to him, though.]

Who’s there?!

[Gokudera doesn’t know if he should take out his dynamite. It was a familiar sounding voice, but what if it’s some kind of trap?!]

[apshot]

So then what are you doing that's causing them to hurt like that?

[theskyaccepts]

Ack-!

[Of all the things to happen to him, Tsuna hadn't expected Gokudera to sit on him. At least it's a short lived situation and Tsuna tries to sit up and wave his hands. It probably makes him look like a weird flower monster of some sort.]

Gokudera-kun, wait!

[bakudan_bambino]

[What can he say? The spot that was Tsuna amongst the flowers just looked so comfortable. Not that it was uncomfortable to sit on his boss! But not like that! He’s squinting, suspicious, and takes a half step closer.]

Boss?! Who did this to you!?

[He’s fishing out a blade to start cutting carefully starting around one of Tsuna’s arms to make this a bit easier. He could use magic, but the last time he tried, he burnt his lap with coffee trying to gently reheat it. He’s not going to take any chances that could risk injuring his boss with testy magic.]

I could have stepped on you! Who would do something like this…

[Fretting, he’s going for the thickest stems first.]

[theskyaccepts]

Just magic really. I mean, I used them a lot when the wraiths attacked.

[And his magic is very hand-focused.]

[theskyaccepts]

I...I don't know...I was just trying to use my magic to help the flowers grow, and then they were growing on me!

[Tsuna winces slightly as the stems are cut. It feels kind of like when you pull a hair out.]

[apshot]

So what are you doing to take care of them after you're done giving em that work out?

[theskyaccepts]

???

Nothing really? I mean, I kinda passed out after the battle for a while, but then I've just been doing what I normally do.

2/2

[theskyaccepts]

Was there something I should be doing?

[apshot]

I asked because it's a stupid question and unimportant -

YES. YOU SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING

All of the strain you're putting on your hands and you're not doing shit to help them out? Are you for real?

[theskyaccepts]

I didn't know! I've never had to use them like this.

[Usually he has gauntlets and sun flames and other protections.]

What should I be doing?

[apshot]

[ He groans, rubbing at his face. ]

Taking care of them. Obviously.

Make sure that you massage them. Focus on pressure points and don't hold back on using lotions.

[theskyaccepts]

Like hand lotion? I guess I'll have to get some.

I've never really had to do that before.

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera wasn’t talking about Tsuna being overgrown, but he’ll take this easy way out of sitting on his boss.]

Isn’t magic still acting up, Tenth?! You should be more careful… what if you… become a plant and get eaten by a goat!

[He says this, mildly panicking as he keeps trying to free his boss, peeling stems and vines away and noticing the slight wince. He pauses.]

Does it hurt?

[Oh no oh God oh geez oh fuck he sat on the Tenth and started hurting while lecturing him. Gokudera freezes up and draws his hands back as if he’d been burning his boss with them.]

[apshot]

Obviously. My hands happen to be my weapon too. Can't be a hero if they're fucking sore and aching all the time.

[theskyaccepts]

I thought it was just gonna be easy. I didn't really plan for this to happen.

[The flowers seem to pale a little as that idea comes into Tsuna's head. He doesn't want to be eaten by a goat! How do they reverse this.]

No, not really. I mean, I notice it but it doesn't hurt. I'm okay.

But I think I need to figure out how to make this stop.

[theskyaccepts]

I usually have gloves that help, but they don't work in this world. So you do a lot of fist-fighting?

What else would you suggest?

[apshot]

I can fight with my fists but that's not what I'm talking about.

My goddman quirk is focused around my hands.

[theskyaccepts]

What is your quirk?

[apshot]

Explosion.

The sweat of my hands is like nitroglycerin.

[theskyaccepts]

[That sounds. Intense.]

So, you could just create explosions in your hand? Like bombs?

[apshot]

Yeah. That's exactly what I'm getting at.

Shit like that can be rough on the hands.

[theskyaccepts]

That makes sense. My magic sort of does that with the elements.

Back home I had special gloves to help but I don't have them here.]

[Just a pair of mittens.]

[apshot]

All the more reason that you should be taking care of them.

[theskyaccepts]

Right, I'll get started on that.

Is there a special kind of lotion or just like? Hand cream?

[He'll probably need to go to the library, check out books on hands.]
