Target Two

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ It's been awhile since Tsuna's been in the machine. Where as last time he was freaking out, this time he's sitting quietly on a swing set he found randomly sitting around. He's swingingly slowly back and forth, his blond haired doll Giotto balanced carefully on his lap. He looks like he's down about something. ]

This is ridiculous... I can't do it. 

[ He lets out a big sigh, and stops swinging to look at Giotto. Taking a moment he picks up the doll and holds it out I front of him, and after that moment he makes a face and sets the doll on the ground leaning against one of the poles before he starts to swing a little higher, and faster. ]



(( ooc :: By the way... I still need a tag for Tsuna. ^^;; ))

[Dino will spot Tsuna swinging and come over. His intent had been to talk to Tsuna, but when he sees the doll just leaning against the poll he decides to take a look at it. There was something odd about Tsuna's attachment to it last time, and he wants to know what's going on with it.]

[ Tsuna spots Dino approaching, and is trying to stop for the blond so they can talk. It takes him a few tries before he can stop. Turning his attention to Dino finally Tsuna blinked seeing that the blond was looking at Giotto. ]

Dino-san...?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Dino grins and stands] Hey Tsuna. How are you doing? Getting used to this place?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

Mmhm! It's nice when I want to hide from Reborn especially. [ Tsuna gives a big sigh ] He's been training us really hard lately. I don't have a clue why either, he won't say.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Now he smiles] If it's Reborn then I'm sure he has a good reason for it. He likes to keep everyone guessing until the last minuet. [He glances over at the doll] ...Is that doll part of it?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Tsuna would say that he was pretty sure that Reborn was just doing this for the hell of it, but then Dino asks about Giotto. Tsuna can only stare at him blankly before laughing like the blond had made a joke. ]

Of course he is, why would you have to ask that Dino-san? He's just like Romario.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[A loot of absolute confusion crosses Dino's face before he can manages to school it into something more neutral]
Romario isn't a doll, Tsuna. [Reborn never gave him a Romario-doll, and Tsuna's insistence on carrying around his own doll has already made Dino start thinking that something is off. He just really hopes he's wrong.]

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ And the laughter turns nervous, and Tsuna sounds a little worried as he asks his next question. ] D-Dino-san, did you hit your head? O-Or maybe Reborn put you up to this. I-I mean I know you like to keep him in human form, b-but still...

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Now Dino is getting slightly worried. There are several possibilities as to why Tsuna would think Romario was a doll. He had hoped it was a trick or a joke, but right now the top suspicion is becoming that their worlds aren't as alike as he had thought. It wouldn't be the first time Dino had to deal with this sort of thing, he just had hoped he wouldn't be forced into this situation again.] Tsuna, the Romario I know is human. He's been that way since he was taking care of me as a child. I also hadn't ever seen your doll before you brought it here.

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Well Tsuna isn't getting worried, he is worried. Actually he'd think you were the wrong person if you weren't so... Dino like. ]


B-But Dino-san... [ Actually, Tsuna doesn't know what to say about this. Other then the fact that he's starting to get that you're not his Dino he doesn't really understand what's going on here. ]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Dino sighs and will sit on the ground next to the swing] Look, Tsuna,I think our worlds might be a bit....different.

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Now Tsuna's looking at you like he's confused as well as worried. ] Wh-What do you mean by that Dino-san?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Dino sighs and thinks how to phrase this] ..Tell me, Tsuna, what was Reborn suppose to be teaching you?

[Menzies frowns at the sight of the swinging kid. from what she's gathered so far about this place, it doesn't sound like it's the most kid-friendly place. she's not very good with kids generally, but...well, her conscience is getting the better of her here. she heads over toward him, leaning casually against one of the supports of the swing set]

Something wrong?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Tsuna skids to a stop... After nearly falling off the swing in surprise that is. ] N-No! I-I mean y-yes but I'm sure you wouldn't find it very in-intresting...

[grip_on_reality]

[she sighs inwardly as she watches the kid fumble. kids are definitely not her favourite people to deal with, but his reaction isn't making her feel any better about leaving him to it, either] Yeah? That might actually be nice for a change. What's going on?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

A-Ahh, well... I-It's my tutor. He says there's this guy that I have to fight with Giotto and my friends, but... [ Tsuna shakes his head and his hands hold onto the chains of the swing tighter. ] It's impossible he's too strong, and we're just kids. We barely know what we're doing, e-everyone will get hurt or... or worse...

[grip_on_reality]

[oh, that stings of horrible familiarity for Menzies, and her expression shows it--for a second, at least, before she covers her shock with seriousness alone]

All right, let's hear the details. Why exactly does your tutor want a bunch of kids to fight this bloke?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

E-Eh? [ You not just brushing him off is confusing Tsuna. ] W-Well he's not exactly normal, more not normal then my friends and I. H-He's also kind of... trying to kill my friends and I so he can destroy the world? [ Yes Tsuna is fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds. ]

[grip_on_reality]

[she stares. and then, very firmly, says:] Kid, get out of there. Now.

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Tsuna just sighs ] I wish I could....

[grip_on_reality]

No, no excuses. There's a little rule I like to live by, and I think you'd get a lot of benefit out of it, too. It's simple: if someone's trying to kill you, you don't stay living with them.

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

[ Tsuna's just going to stare up at you for a moment, before looking down, and over at his doll sitting on the ground. ] I-I can't... He, he'll just follow me. He'll hurt my family, and friends. Something has to be done about him, but...

[ He doesn't want to have to do it. ]

[grip_on_reality]

[Menzies sighs, scowling. she does at least have the presence of mind to hold back a curse in front of the kid. but she should have expected that--of course it wouldn't be so easy. but that doesn't make her feel any better about a kid stuck in servitude]

Is anyone else from your world here?

[skytsunafish.livejournal.com]

W-Well there's Dino-san but, he's already doing what he can... Other then him it's just Giotto and I. [ He's not going to mention that there's something a little off about the Dino that he's meet here though. ]
