fifty-eighth fuse [action]

[ohmytenth]

[For the second time ever, you get choices! Well, two at least.

A. Gokudera is waiting in front of Tsuna's house (what else is new?), this time though, he's waiting for his party. The Tenth was inside of course, so he was waiting for Empress and any other guests to show up. He had an agenda this time, so he was intent on getting started as soon as

*... Just comes outside to bitch him out.*

My yard is not for loitering about. Get lost.

[ohmytenth]

[Why did he pick this house to begin with? Either way...]

You get lost. I'm busy.

[hangedhourai]

This is my yard. You should 'get lost.'

[ohmytenth]

I'm in the middle of an investigation. You get lost.

A: VONGOLA FAMILY UP IN HUUUURRRR (plus Empress and Kay)

[failboatboss]

[ Tsuna looks out his window to see Gokudera waiting for him, and he sighs. He can only imagine what the other has cooked up this time, so he goes out to wait for empress there. He attempts to look cheerful and not anxious.]

Hey, Gokudera-kun!

GATHER THE GODDAMN GUARDIANS

[ohmytenth]

[Oh! MISSION SUCCESSFUL]

Tenth! Empress knows to meet us here, right?

RIGHT NAO

[failboatboss]

Y-Yes! Though, Gokudera-kun, why are we meeting like this?

[ohmytenth]

It's simple!

We're going to go searching for aliens!

[At 1247 Williams, you won't find a dog, but definitely a cat, and possibly some pokemon. Also, trying to sneak up on or watch a trained thief isn't the best idea. Crowe's just in the kitchen, puttering about in an attempt to cook dinner, when he feels eyes on him from the window. He walks over and opens it.]

Can I help you?

[ohmytenth]

[Pokemon! That's just what he needed to see, weird monster type things. Those are DEFINITELY going into the notes. Though-- shit.]

Yeah. Are you alone in your house right now?

[perfektsymmetry]

[W-What kind of question is that?!]

.....Ah, why should I tell you? [Not said rudely, more like he's completely perplexed.]

[ohmytenth]

[He looks around.]

I need to know who else lives here. It's important.

[There is also no dog at 1248 Williams Road. But there is a bird. On the roof.

She seems to be torn on whether to stare at or dive bomb this stranger.]

[ohmytenth]

[Still glancing around either way, damn it, there has to be a doghouse or something around here.]

[idkmybfforin]

[Indeed there is! And the tether in front of it seems to have a broken collar at the end of the chain; a relatively old and weathered collar.

Utsuho clacks her beak, puffs her feathers out--and then launches off the rooftop straight at Gokudera's head without any further warning.

Bird does not like strangers today, no.]

[ohmytenth]

! [His senses are at least pretty damn good, and he's able to dodge roll out of the way, immediately lighting a bomb to retaliate.]

The hell-- [He grimaces, staring a hole into that bird.]

[hontobakabaka]

[Opening the window she looks at the strange stalker with a very blank stare.]

"Shouldn't you be wearing a fake mustache as well if you are going to be skulking about?"

[ohmytenth]

Wha-- [He glances looking at this... girl.]

I'm not skulking about. Who the hell are you?

[hontobakabaka]

"Ruri Hoshino. I apparently live here. Who are you?"

[ohmytenth]

That's not important. Who else lives in this house?
