[A - What's the Number for 911??]

[Tsuna is freaking out.

That's a natural state of being for him on a good day, but at this moment it seems a little more pronounced. It might have something to do with the burning building in front of him. The building's not fully on fire but fire has definitely started licking up the siding and there's a good deal of smoke.

If you had to ask whether or not the building's on fire, it very much is.

And Tsuna is panicking because his hands are also on fire, though the warm, enchanted glow of magic flames rather than anything burning. He'd just wanted some light while he was walking home. He didn't mean to touch the building. Certainly didn't mean to have it go up so fast.

But now it is and he's kind of hyperventilating so switching on his water is a little tough right now. Would it even be enough?]

HELP!!

[He finally manages to get out. He doesn't know if anyone's in the building or what. Someone might need to snap him out of this. Or snap a picture.]

[B - Twilight Thoughts; Network/Action]

[Tsuna doesn't go straight home after his part time job.

He meanders for a bit, not to anywhere in particular but he's not quite ready to go home yet. He's got thoughts that he needs to sort out. A lot more than usual, if he's being honest.

Because he's never been the kind of kid to let things go easily. There might have been a time when he used to, but then, that was back when his world was very small and he could just get by. Now his world is bigger, with friends, with more responsibility, with the fact that even though it was thrust on him and he is reluctant to take up the mantle, he is a leader.

It's hard to be a leader when it feels like his world keeps getting a lot bigger every day. And affecting his friends in more ways than he, at 15 years old, can really conceive.

He finds a quiet place in a park, flopping down on the ground and looking up at the darkening sky.]

I don't know what to do...

[He mutters, before digging out his phone. There has to be something.]

UN: Tsuna27

What's a good way to cheer up a friend?


[C - Flick Would Have a Field Day]

[It's always him. It's always Tsuna.

Why can't the universe just give him a break?

He was having a nice time! It was fun, if a little weird, to be picking cookies from trees like apples. And he was going to bring home a bunch to, because why not?

But of course, this is Tsunayoshi Sawada, the universe's chew toy, and he'd bumped a wasps nest. He'd taken off at a sprint, not wanting to get stung or to disturb anyone else. Of course, he didn't really try to figure out where he was running to and by the time he thinks he's outrun the wasps he is lost.

It's quiet and lush and green and somehow unnerving, and so Tsuna tentively starts to retrace what he hopes are his steps before some bagworms drop down in front of him. Tsuna stumbles back and screams! which sets off several moths who fly quickly past him.]

Why are there so many bugs!

[D - Wildcard]

[Want something new, feel free to hit me up at urbaninja

[sos_pilot]

Oh, I was going to try that! It sounded like a lot a of fun.

[ She jabs a thumb in a direction, to indicate he should follow. ]

C'mon, let's head over. I bet I can totally win that contest with my eyes closed.

[theskyaccepts]

It...it was. Until the wasps...

[Yeah, it's been a day. He's able to stand and starts following, though his shoulders are probably up around his ears as he's on the lookout now for more bugs.]

Do you know the way back?

[sos_pilot]

Sure I do!

[ She doesn't, really. But she trusts that following the footsteps he's left in the ground, keeping an ear open for certain sounds, and trying to find the scent of cookies will be more than enough. Hopefully. ]

But if bugs weird you out so much, maybe you can use your magic to get rid of them next time?

[theskyaccepts]

I...I guess I could, but I don't know if it's really suited for that. I'd be worried about it causing more problems.

[He's got a decent sense of control now, but, well, he already burned down one building this month.]

[sos_pilot]

Oh? What kind of magic do you have?

[theskyaccepts]

Elemental and Green. I'm still learning how to use it though.

[An, well, he tends to think more in terms of combat than anything else. Holdover from his world.]

I don't know how they'd keep bugs away.

[sos_pilot]

Green, huh? Isn't that power over plants and flowers and trees and junk?

[ She may have an idea. Not a good one, but still. ]

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, it is.

[His first encounter with it didn't go all that well, so he's a little wary. The last thing he needs is to get trapped again, never mind with someone else.]

[sos_pilot]

So maybe next some time bugs attack, you can grow a giant venus fly trap, and get the old CHOMP on 'em!

[ She wiggles her fingers like teeth/claws for emphasis. ]

[theskyaccepts]

That might be an idea. I'm still getting used to having green magic so maybe I'll have to try next time.

[Although he looks unsure at the idea. There's a good chance said fly trap would chomp on him.]

It's a little hard to think when everything's happening like that.

[sos_pilot]

You've gotta be able to think on the fly if you wanna get anywhere in life! I've been exploring and adventuring all my life, so I've pretty much got it mastered. I could take you under my wing, and toughen you up!

[theskyaccepts]

I guess it's not really my strong suit, not I haven't tried.

[He says with a nervous laugh.]

I usually don't go looking for adventures...

[sos_pilot]

... Really?

[ What a boring life he must lead! ]

I wonder why they chose you for this world, in that case.

[theskyaccepts]

I haven't really thought about it, honestly. I just figured it was kinda bad luck.

I was in the middle of something important back home.

[And that still weighs on him.]

If someone could tell me why, I'd appreciate it.

[sos_pilot]

[ Aw, now she feels bad.

She gives him a pat on the arm. ]

... Maybe you're one of the brains people, instead of us brawns. We always need plenty of those to balance it out!

[theskyaccepts]

Maybe.

[He looks a little brighter, if nothing else. Though he's still not sure.]

I don't know why, but people tend to look to me for the plan.

[sos_pilot]

If that happens a lot, then maybe... just maybe... you're really good at making plans?

[theskyaccepts]

I'd like to think so, but mostly I think I just get voluntold. I usually need a lot of help.

[sos_pilot]

Don't we all? This world didn't pick one person, it got us all. No shame in working together!

[theskyaccepts]

That's something I can work with. Even I am one of the people who needs a lot of help.

[sos_pilot]

That won't get you anywhere. You gotta start thinking positively! And mean it! Feel it! Do it!

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna holds up his hands in a slightly submissive way.]

Okay, okay, I will. I'll try.

[sos_pilot]

Say it with gusto! Say, I'LL TRY!

[ Shout it from the mountaintops!!! DO IT. ]

[theskyaccepts]

[Getting the sense that he's probably not going to get out of this without at least a half-hearted attemp, Tsuna takes a breath and sort of shouts]

I'll try!!!

[sos_pilot]

[ She'll take it. Why, she'll even applaud! ]

There you go, that was MUCH better! I knew you could to it!
