hitman reborn (d2) dino cavallone

(no subject)

[Dino is in a corner of the Plane away from people. He is busy flaying plywood cut-outs of people to death with his whip. For anyone who has only seen him tripping over that whip of his before? This is how good he really is with it. Pieces of wood are flying everywhere, so it probably isn't a good idea to get close. Dino has found out Hei is dead, but he knows better than to going charging after the Masters blindly. He needs to take his anger and frustration out on something though, so he choose to kill plywood-people.]

Dino. [She ducks a flying chunk of plywood.] Dino.

[Looks over at her, then stops, breathing a little heavily] Misaki. What is it?

I know what you're thinking, if it has anything to do with Li, and I'm telling you right now to forget it.

[He's not looking at you Misaki] I have no idea what you're talking about.

Dino, really. Do you have that little respect for me? Expecting me to believe a lie like that--you might as well call me an idiot.

[Sighs] I respect you. But what do you want me to do? Sit around and do nothing?

That's exactly what I want you to do. Stop trying to be a man for a second and attempt to be a sane human being.

[Turns to face Misaki] A friend of mine was murdered. I'm suppose to let that stand?

[And this would be Misaki slapping you, Dino, a perfectly blank expression on her face.] Do not speak to me as though you're the only one of the two of us that knows him.

You're thinking like a mob boss; I'm thinking like a cop. I would like to know what you think you'll be able to do to them. The Masters would be amused by your anger, scornful of whatever pain you tried to inflict. They would catch you, torture you and kill you, and they would probably throw Li's body at you during the process just to see into how many pieces you can break. Even if you kill them, by some miracle, what will that accomplish? They'll come back and it'll be the same thing all over again. And then what? Li finds out and goes after them? Or Angela finds out? Or any number of your friends in this place?

Revenge is a circle with one beginning and no end, Dino. And, on top of all of that, I should tell you, I consider the Plane to be part of my jurisdiction. If you're going to try and kill someone here, I'll arrest you. I have to. It's what I do.

[The slap hurts but he's used to the pain. Guilt...he's used to dealing with that but he doesn't have to like it. He was being stupid. Misaki had known Hei longer than he had.] Sorry.

[The rest was logic and he could see the point, see what she was saying. And that was why he hated it. He didn't want logic right now, he wanted to do something. But he was being told to do something that went against what he was taught. Then he things of Angela and the thought of her trying setting foot in the kind of world he lived in makes him stop and think He] Are they really that bad, that powerful? I'm not scared that easily.

What do you want me to do? Sit around and be helpless again, like I have been the rest of the time something has happened to the people I care about here?

They really are that bad and that powerful, and I don't care how easily you scare, if you aren't stupid, you won't try tangling with them.

And I would advise you to get over yourself, is what I would do. The greater part of my job is waiting for the next casualty and the next clue when all other roads have been exhausted. You can't save everyone, and honestly? We are all helpless, all the time, always. [PANDORA sure as hell drove that fact home.] This is why we need each other and the strength that those presences give us. Hei is going to need you and he's going to need you alive.

[Doesn't say anything to that but he is thinking about it Misaki.]

I'm not used to sitting back and waiting, doing nothing. I'm used to having the resources to do something. When I was a kid I was better at just dealing with things but that was trained out of me.

[Since they line about needing each other is eerily close to something he would say h,e can't say anything about that either.]

[She's beginning to be irritated. Curtly,] Get in touch with your inner child.

[Is a bit irritated already Misaki] As if that's something that's easy to do!

Did I say it was easy? I don't have the time to coddle you. Either be a grown up and use your head or remember what it was like when you could let things go once in a while. I don't care how you wise up, but do it quickly.

[She turns away.]

...That's some skill you've got.

[Barely even slows down his attacks] Thanks.

[watches quietly]

I'm guessing I came at a bad time.

[Pauses to rest for a bit] Yeah, kind of. I got some bad news recently.

I'm sorry.

Anything I can do?

I don't think there's anything you can do. There isn't even anything I can do right now.

...Worst kind of bad news.

If you want help getting out the frustration, I wouldn't mind being a spar partner.

[Glances at you curiously as he thinks it over] I wouldn't mind a sparring partner. Are you sure you're up for it though?

Yeah, I don't mind! Thing is, I don't really...use weapons as much as magic. [taps a finger thoughtfully against his chin]

I've got an idea! [excited] I'll set up a barrier around myself. You can bash away at it all you want, but if you want to get to me, you'll have to hit the right fuda. [pulls one of the slips of paper with complicated Japanese calligraphy all over it to demonstrate] They'll be placed all over the barrier, around you... So it's not just a test of brawn, but brains. [taps his temple with a grin] I mean, you can feel free to keep hitting my barrier as long as you want. There's that too. But if you want a bit of a challenge... [shrugs and opens his arms] It's there.

[Blink. If he hadn't seen what Angela could do he would have wondered about the magic thing.] Okay that works, I guess.

[He has studied a bit about Japan since that's where Tsuna is from, so a bit of that is familiar to him] You're Japanese?

Great! Let me know when you're ready.

I am. [laughs suddenly] I don't think I've even introduced myself, sorry. I'm Tsuzuki. [holds out a hand, smiling brightly] Where're you from?

[Blinks at the hand sighs and shakes it.] Dino Cavallone. I'm from Italy.

I want to get started right now if you can do that.

[impressed] Italy? Wow. Can't say I've been. Would like to though~

Okay, no problem! [digs through his pockets and finds the right fuda. He makes some complicated hand symbols and holds up the fuda; it flies free of his fingers and settles in midair, where the air hazes and creates a semi-transparent dome from the fuda to the "ground." Tsuzuki makes one last sharp gesture. The fuda shudders, then copies of itself shoot outwards and spread themselves to various points around the dome barrier. Tsuzuki grins lopsidedly, hands in his trenchcoat pockets now.]

Have at it. All you like. Sometimes having an actual person to direct frustration at is better than a lifeless target.

[Small smile] It's nice a place.

[It turns grim as he circles the dome] As long as it isn't the wrong person, sometimes it does. [His whip flicks out and cuts one of the fuda]

And the food's supposed to be amazing~ [is obviously very excited about this idea]

[smiles amiably and continues chatting, watching Dino go at it; that fuda was a fake, and dissolves.] So, what do you do that you need impressive whip skills like this, Dino?

Yeah, the food is good. It depends on where you go though. [He's actually amused by him getting so excited over the food]

[Flick, there goes another fuda. Then he says, completely deadpan] I'm a Health and Safety Commissioner.

Really? You have regional dishes and things? [l-lawl Dino opened Pandora's Box] ...Ah, well, of course you do, I mean, it only makes sense. But I can only imagine that the pasta and sauce are the best in the world~! Hey, what about cannolis? And mille feuille? ...Oh wait, that's French, isn't it... What are the desserts like? [♥]

[also the wrong fuda, but he's getting closer] ...Health and Safety needs to use a whip in Italy? Wouldn't guns be more...conventional?

Yes, certain parts of Italy are more famous than others when it comes to certain dishes. Desserts are pretty much the same. Cannoli were from Scily originally although you can find them almost anywhere.
~~[ooc: I think I got the food stuff right anyway but I'm not sure]~~

[FlickFlick Have a couple more fuda down] I just like using a whip. Too much Indiana Jones when I was a kid.

[is ready to start drooling] ...Augh, I'd give anything to go...

Indiana Jones?

[congratulations! somewhere in there he found the right one. Tsuzuki beams at him.] Great job! Do you want to go again, or try something else?

Something stopping you from going?

[Gives me a look then sighs] He's the main character in some action movies. He uses a whip.

[Thinks about it then decides that he really isn't interested in hitting things anymore] No, that's enough for now. Thanks for doing that.

[pouts] No money?

Oh, really? I don't get to watch movies too much.

Not a problem! I hope it helped, even a little.
