[...This place was totally not his bedroom. Tsuna was pretty sure waking up in a place that was not his bedroom was probably a bad sign. Waking up in a place that wasn't his bedroom without Reborn doing something like, oh, saying it was some kind of weird training exercise or something.

Feeling sort of suspicious about the whole thing, Tsuna's going to stick his head out into the hallway and try to sneak out. This... this place is weird. He's going to look around him at the nameplates on some of the doors.

...And that's when he sees it.

Rokudo Mukuro.

...Oh crap.

Yeah, Tsuna's going to try to slink into his room, but we all know his luck is worse than letting him actually get there undisturbed.

Interrupt him. Please.]

[Guess who was just coming back to his room for the evening and KNOWS that room wasn't taken earlier.]

[And that was a SPECIAL reaction. It's been a while since he's seen someone go that pale that fast over that kind of a clue.]

Why, good evening. You must be new here.

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[--oh damnit. Damn. It. He was sort of hoping he'd make it back to his room before someone realized he was here.]

Uh-- yeah! Yeah I am. How could you tell? Where is here? [...At least you don't look too horrifying. And you're not trying to attack him.]

[stalking_horse]

[My god you're spazzy and squishy and he's opting for trying not to make it worse.]

Well, my room is at the end of this hallway, and your nameplate wasn't there this morning - I've had the habit of trying to keep track of things.

I'm afraid where "here" is, is going to sound .... a touch crazy.

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[Thank you. ;;`He does appreciate it.]

Oh. Uh. Well, you can try to explain it? I mean, I've seen a lot of crazy stuff... [You have no idea.]

[stalking_horse]

Well. [That lopsided, slightly long suffering smile? Yeah.] I realize it doesn't look like it at the moment, but this place is generally known as the Manor; it's what it appears as normally. It's some kind of realm unto its own, and, from everything we can tell, is under the power of a teenage girl we only know as "The Author" who doesn't quite realize that it's real; people get pulled here from their own worlds at times, leading to a chaotic mixed bag.


If it helps, there's other people from your world who are ... less intimidating? Not many, but they're here.

1 out of oh god I don't even know

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[and hey... who's that behind you Tsuna?]

[just standing there in utter and complete shock. It couldn't be. He had been here for what? Over six months now? And there was no sign of any possible interest the Author had in the Vongola. Ryohei had been sent home, and Mukuro didn't count...

but right in front of him... right in the middle of SO MUCH drama he had going on]

B-boss?

2/?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And then a little smile]

B-boss I... I...

3/?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[and then he's getting a little teary-eyed]

4/?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[AND THEN OH GOD THERE'S A DRAMATIC LITTLE SOB]

BOSS! I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU! I- I...

[...wait a tick]

5/?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[IT's been six months since he was taken here... so the planned attack on the Millifiore base... everything that happened in the future...

and he wasn't there for it....]

6/?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[oh god he failed the Tenth]

B-boss I'm sorry I... I can e-explain!

[and he's starting to flail a bit]

7/7 DONE! ahhhh this felt good.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And then in a blink Gokudera is on his hands and knees getting his forehead intimately acquainted with the floor...repeatedly]

BOSS I AM SO SORRY! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT HAPPENED BUT I PROMISE IF YOU'LL LET ME STAY AS PART OF THE VONGOLA I WILL NEVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! I'LL WORK A HUNDRED TIMES HARDER TO MAKE UP FOR EVERYTHING I FAILED TO HELP YOU WITH IN MY ABSENCE!

OH GOOD JESUS

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[Tsuna is sort of flailing a little at this entire thing.] Gokudera-kun! You don't- I- what--

You don't have to do that! [WHAT THE HELL WHERE DID THIS COME FROM.]

YOU ARE WELCOME.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And he is just going to GRIND his forehead into the ground a bit more. All for the glory of the Tenth]

BOSS YOU'RE TOO KIND BUT I DO! I FAILED! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!

[pineapple_fairy]

[RIGHT BEHIND YOU.]

Sawada Tsunayoshi. What a pleasant surprise.

[Oh Tsuna you poor, poor thing. you have NO IDEA how happy your presence makes him.

and Mukuro being happy is NEVER a good thing]

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[OH GOD HI MUKURO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.]

M-Mukuro! How- I... what? Uh, why?

[AND HE SLEEPS IN THE ROOM NEXT TO YOURS. Tsuna doesn't want to live on this planet anymore.]

[pineapple_fairy]

Kufufufufufufu, why? Why not? This place has become exceedingly dull, you see. It is nice to have a familiar face...

[That doesn't run down the halls waving dynamite like a lunatic, or shouting loud enough to raise the dead, or be too uncoordinated to feed himself...

and let's not get into the Varia.]

Am I not allowed to express such familiarity with you? I am your mist guardian after all...

[for now....]

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[Why are you so amused, Mukuro. THAT IS ONLY EVER A BAD THING.] I-- become? How long have you been here?

[...Oh jesus when he finds out there are Varia here.]

I- well-- you are, I just-- it's kind of a surprise?

[pineapple_fairy]

Long enough.

[And he's just going to slink around Tsuna casually, and lean on the other boy's door frame... essentially cutting off his main escape route]

So little Vongola, tell me, what is the last major event you remember before you arrived here.

[deeplymeaningless]

[Stranger in the halls, trying to be invisible? Perfect harassing material. And Ryuutaro really needs the distraction.
And so here he is, fan opening dramatically, smiling fakely]

Is there something you're looking for?

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[He jumps. He actually jumps at that.] Uh, no...?

[deeplymeaningless]

[That smirk is just growing wider]

What a rare case then. I do believe you're new, aren't you?

[notathunnusfish.livejournal.com]

[People smirking is never a good thing in Tsuna's world. Never.]

Um, yeah, I kinda guess I am... Do you know where 'here' is?

[deeplymeaningless]

This place is called The Manor. It's not in your world anymore, so I'm afraid, you won't find a way back there any time soon.

[The fan snaps shut]

I'd say 'welcome', but considering the circumstances it might seem ironic...

[[Weiss, after what happened with the lady he fully intends to wrathfully seek vengeance on, he's keeping tabs on his human-pet. This is one of the people his human pet is speaking with.

Not so indirectly, he strolls through one of the walls after seeing the little human slink into a specific room.

He stands and stares, wordlessly.]]
