35th bomb || Hayato Gokudera || [video/in person]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Well someone is looking rather angry on this fine morning (though that's probably not surprising to ANYONE at this point) clad in a toga he managed to get on, albeit rather sloppily.]

Alright, who's the fucktard who though it would be real funny shit to take the Italian's clothes and get him to wear a toga? I swear when I find you I'm going to-

[Then he opens the door to his room and abruptly went silent as he looks up and down the hall. Oh god, they couldn't ACTUALLY be in...

Hayato then seems to completely stop caring about the feed on the blackberry as he rushes outside and what he sees makes his jaw drop. It takes him a moment to realize he's still recording, and he brings his attention back to the blackberry.]

... uh hey... I know I've told a few of you that I'd show you around Italy sometime. Well, welcome to Italy... about 2000 years before I was born...

[She's got the stola on, but instead of fastening it with the brooches like she's supposed to, she has stitched the straps.]

The clothes here are strange. And mine was broken. S[But he knows more about this place] or were they supposed to be like that?

[1/2] Oh god... I think we FINALLY have honest civility here...

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Gokudera looked at the screen about read to snap at the person for being an idiot and not knowing how to put on the frigging tun-

and then. U.M.A.

Give him a moment of gawking whole he gets his brain to funtion properly again.]

[2/2]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[After blinking a few times he FINALLY manages to pull himself together enough to communicate effectively.]

I-I-I w-well, yeah it's supposed to be like that... there's things you're supposed to fasten shit on with...

[Now time to get his own questions in.]

So uh... what exactly are you?

o.m.g. It's a miracle:

[threadbaregirl.livejournal.com]

[she pauses to rummage before she answers, and the successfully finds her brooches. She holds them up.] Using these?

[But at his question, her head ducks, and gives the distinct impression that if she were human, or had any kind of blood supply, she would be blushing so hard right now. Very embarrassed because in all her time here, no-one has asked her quite so bluntly.] Well I... uhh... I-I'm a doll, I-I guess.

FINALLY POSSITIVE CR... unless he scares her away /SIGH.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

Yeah those! You're supposed to clip stuff up with those but, Sewin' works too.

[Noe back to being a shameful nerd. LOOK AT HIS EXCITEMENT.]

A-a doll?! Who made you!? Where are you from!? Ah, sorry, I'm Gokudera! It's nice to meet you!

So long as he stays nice.

[threadbaregirl.livejournal.com]

I'm Sally.

[She's not quite sure how to react to this enthusiasm. it's definitely a new experience, especially when talking about herself. Jack? she'd understand the enthusiasm talking about him. But she was just somebody who usually slipped into the background.]

Well... would you prefer to talk about this in person? [He's so excited. which, while she doesn't know how to react to it, she knows is a good thing.]

He will be the sweetest dweeb ever.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[ASFDLKJK BEST DAY EVER.]

Sure! Where are you?! I'll come meet you!

lol!

[threadbaregirl.livejournal.com]

I'm still in my room. I haven't had the chance to go outside yet.

[there's a pause. That's... probably not very helpful. How can she... oh! she knows!]

I'll put the sandals I've got outside the door so yo can find it easier. [She leaves the blackberry on the bed as she puts them out there. It doesn't really matter if they get stolen - she doesn't really need to protect her feet all that much. She comes back and gives him a small smile.] There.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

I'll be right there!

[and the teen turns off the blackberry before scurrying down the halls, until he finds the right door, luckily he still has enough self control to knock rather than just bursting in all enthusiastically.]

Hello!? C-can't I come in?!

[threadbaregirl.livejournal.com]

You can! [She opens the door and stands aside to let him in with a smile]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And in comes the excitable silverette. He doesn't get far into the room because he simply pauses to GAWK at Sally for a while.

This was just... too.. cool.

After a little mental reboot, but when it does...]

Friggin' awesome! C-c-can I ask you some questions?!

[threadbaregirl.livejournal.com]

[while he's gawking, she looks at the floor fidgeting her hands. she's really unused to the attention, it's both nice and uncomfortable at the same time.

When he speaks, she still doesn't look up much.]

Y-yes. [she's going to sit though. so she walks in her unsteady gait to the bed and sits on the edge.] I don't know how much I can help, but ask and I'll try.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[He happily trots over and plops next to her on the bed, looking up her like she is clearly the most interesting thing in the world.

Because right now she so is.]

So, where are you from? Who made you?

[video]

[deeplymeaningless]

[Guess who has not really gotten out of his room, because he was fussing over this whole clothes thing? But now he's managed to look more or less alright in his own eyes. Perfectly styled in everyone else's eyes, probably-]

... that long in the past?

[He blinks. And then it dawns on him... Hayato had talked about Italy and going there. He'd even talked about snowballs fights and the Tenth being there then... Kaoru had foreseen plots as well.
Right now he felt as if the Author was deliberately making fun of him with fulfilling all their halfhearted predictions, but not letting him see.
... this was not even funny anymore.]

Re: [video]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

Y-yeah, looks like we're in Rome... like really really really old Rome. I'd have to look around more to get a better guess.

[He scratched his head and sighed as he peeled his eyes off the Colosseum to look at his boyfriend on the blackberry. This would... be a very tough week for him.]

So, where are you? I guess I could still try to show you around. I've been to Rome a couple times, and Rome doesn't really like getting rid of it's old junk, so I doubt it's changed too drastically.

[video]

[deeplymeaningless]

I'm still in my room at the moment. Figuring out how to wear these clothes has proven a bit more difficult then thought.

[Too bad for you, Hayato. You're too late to see Ryuutaro make an extremely aggressive and concentrated face while awkwardly getting dressed...]

I don't see why the Author won't even leave our usual wardrobes for us, this is rather ridiculous.

Re: [video]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

I'll be right there! Maybe I can help a bit.

[He turns back inside the building heading towards Ryuutaro's room, it doesn't take him long before he's knocking on the door.]

Ryuutaro? Can I come in?

[video]

[deeplymeaningless]

Sure.

[And Ryuutaro is still not done trying around with this toga-thing slightly. He's gotten to wear it alright, but he's not really satisfied at all. It still kind of looks like just a lot too baggy and unelegant for his taste.

But for once he's not even one bit embarrassed about being seen looking not fully his best. Hayato had seen worse on him, a lot worse.]

Re: [video]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato comes in... and takes a moment to get a load of his adorable boyfriend and his now more exposed legs. Only for a moment though, he doesn't want to be TOO obvious, but the blush on his cheeks isn't exactly helping. At first he had been horribly irritated by the length of the tunics (it made the scar on his leg QUITE visible which was irritating), but now... ]

Here, try it like this.

[Hayato walks over and starts shifting the fabric around a bit.]

It's not exactly inherited knowledge, but I used to like to turn my bed sheets into a toga and pretend to be Roman when I was a kid.

[Not usually a story he'd embarrass himself talking about, but it's not like he could embarrass himself any further than his younger self had already when Ryuutaro met him. He finishes it up and fastens it up properly.]

There, how's that?

[video]

[deeplymeaningless]

[By now Ryuutaro feels like he's getting used to something odd, but he can't place his finger on the fact that it's the staring.
And even if it's both weird and ego-boosting at the same time, right now he doesn't pay much attention to it.

Rather than the fact that he needs his boyfriend to help him with dressing real properly. It made his ego sink again, just a tiny bit.]

Yes, thank you a lot.

[He sighs in relief. Well, at least this way he didn't have to go out like how he looked before... Which still made this toga-thing a horrible thing, but it could not be helped either way]

For a pretend-roman you're really good at this.

Re: [video]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato blushed a bit, scratched his head with an awkward chuckle.]

W-well... when you're from Italy... you get a lot of the history crammed down your throat from a young age.

[He takes Ryuutaro's hand and gets ready to head outside]

So, you want me to show you around a bit? I mean it's not exactly where I'm from... but it is still Italy.

[in person] ... when will we ever learn they cannot just touch over video? XD

[deeplymeaningless]

I was hoping for that, actually.

[His interest in Italy was considerably low, but the idea of having Hayato show him around was nice.
Besides, he had little muse to stay in his room for any longer.]

[in person] SHHH WE CAN TOUCH THROUGH THE BLACKBERRIES! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MAGIC RYUUTARO!

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato smiled and walked outside hand-in-hand with his boyfriend. He took a deep breath of the warm air, it was so refreshing to be away from the cold, miserable, snowy winter at the manor. Now, where to take Ryuutaro? Colosseum was far too gruesome... Circus Maximus could be as well... fuuuuck! Well, maybe they could just take a stroll for now. Maybe they could find a library or something...]

So, there anything you wanna see in particular? Or any sort of thing you want to see?

[in person]

[deeplymeaningless]

There is nothing.

[Be glad he even knows Rome is in Italy. His knowledge of the world is extremely limited. There was not even school in his world to teach him anything about geography and the likes.]

Surprise me.

Re: [in person]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato nods and starts leading the boy down the street. It's busy and bustling, and Hayato watches everything rather curiously. It was strange and sort of fascinating to see some place that he knew and recognized so... ancient. Ruins he had seen were now actually buildings, some streets actually still remained, but at the same time it was no backwards. No cars, or cafes, instead there were farm animals and bizarre shops scattered about.

Until they stumble upon the Parthenon in all of it's ancient glory. Hayato cranes his neck up to look at it. Adorned in precious metals and rare stones. The marble and limestone polished smooth and absolutely radiant.]

I... saw this place once... this... ain't what it looked like at all....
