I know that they said we can't go back to our worlds, but is there any way to contact them?

I left at a bad time.


[Action; At the Welcome Feast]

[Tsuna sits at one of the long tables, pushing food around on his plate but not really eating it. He doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. He sort of feels like everything is all over the place and his mind is in a million different places. Part of him is amazed at wear he is and occasionally he glances around to take in the detail. Another part of him is taking in the crowd, trying to search for familiar faces and friends, and keep track of Gokudera. The final part of him pulls his attention down to his plate in the knowledge that he should eat but can't.

He's worried about what he left behind, who he left behind, if it's going to be okay that he's here and not there. It's a welling pit of worry in his stomach that makes it hard to enjoy his meal. He keeps checking his phone for what he hopes will be a positive response.]

What am I supposed to do?

A bad time?

[They've had a lot of those.]

There was nothing going on when I left.

[screened to Gokudera; text]

[theskyaccepts]

Nothing had happened yet, but it was about to.

Don't you remember?

[screened]

[bakudan_bambino]

We’ve been through a lot, Tenth.

You sent me a text saying that Reborn-san was hit by the bazooka, but that he didn’t show up. I was on my way to go see you when I ended up here.

[screened]

[theskyaccepts]

That...happened a while ago though. We've been in the future for a few weeks...

[That brings a lot of questions up, and Tsuna isn't sure if he wants to discuss them here.]

Actually...where are you

Text, UN: Jack

[theonlyrealthing]

They said that our worlds just kind of stopped when they picked us up, so they probably won't even notice you're gone. I wouldn't worry about it.

un: tsuna27

[theskyaccepts]

They did? I hope that's the case, but I must have missed that the first time.

[It does make him feel a little better, but he'll probably still worry.]

Thank you

[theonlyrealthing]

You're welcome.

[Frankly, Jack's just glad to be out of there. Maybe when this whole thing is over with, he can just... stay here. Or go somewhere else.]

So where are you from?

[theskyaccepts]

Oh, I'm from Namimori.
In Japan.

[The second message is added rather quickly, since it occurs to Tsuna that some people might not know it.]

What about you?

Action (assuming that they met in the network in the TDM)

(It doesn’t take long for Harry to see a kid with orange hair sitting all alone near by and barely touching his food on the plate along with an empty spot on the table and chair/bench. Wanting to try to help the kid in some way, he puts his plate with his dinner on it (and utensils), his goblet of not!Butterbeer, & a small plate of veggies on the table and Rose herself scurries up onto the table to nuzzle on the kid’s hand.)

Oh hi there, mind if I join you in the table today?

[theskyaccepts]

[Lost in thought, Tsuna jumps a bit at the creature suddenly nuzzling his hand, but manages to not completely lose his composure (which is always a possibility).

His head shoots up when Harry speaks.]

Uh, yeah, sure. Go ahead.

[phoenixwiz]

(Harry sits down on the bench, next to Tsuna while seeing Rose is getting all cuddly with his hand.)

So how’s the whole adjustment going so far with? Personally, I’m still wrapping all of this around inside my head right now. Not as terrible as I was anticipating.

Oh that thing nuzzling your hand? That’s my Pygmy Puff, Rose. She likes to befriend people and greet them with cuddles.

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna can't say he's ever heard of a pygmy puff, but it's not attacking him and it's soft so he's able to calm down.]

Uh, managing I guess. It's just, been a lot. Between arriving and showing up here and then getting this thrown for us. It just feels like too much really.

[And he's been left to his own devices mostly with no one yelling at him to do something. He misses Reborn, and even Lal Mirch.]

[cutesneeze]

Is there actually a good time for something like this to happen?

text

[theskyaccepts]

There were better times. Or at least, a time when I wasn't about to do something important.

text

[cutesneeze]

More important than the end of the universe?

[And okay, maybe she's on the fence about whether or not she actually believes the universe is imperiled again. And maybe she's curious what his reaction to that will be, whether or not he buys the stakes they've been fed.]

text

[theskyaccepts]

The end of the universe?

[He might be freaking out just a little. It's probably hidden by the text but he definitely almost dropped his phone.]

I...I mean, someone did tell me that time freezes back where we are but still... that's a lot worse than mine.

[He was just trying to prevent world domination.]

[grilletto]

yeah i'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way
they don't care where they pull people from
it's never gonna be a good time for it

text;

[theskyaccepts]

I kinda figured, but I had to check.
Maybe there's never a good time, but there were better times than others.

[grilletto]

there's always gonna be a 'better time'
what is it they say? hindsight is 20/20 or something
any time that they took you from you'll be able to come up with 10 other times that would have been better
whatever it was will probably still be there when you get back

text; un: adler

[disasdeer]

No word on how to contact that I've heard. But there's a good chance when you get back it will be on a bad note, too.

un: tsuna27

[theskyaccepts]

That's what people are saying, but at least I'd be able to do something about it then.

[disasdeer]

It gives you a lot of time to think about it, at least. That could be a good or bad thing.

That and we don't have any examples of what life after this place is like.

Are you looking to get back quickly?

txt; un' hawk-eye

[deliveryhawk]

Probably not, I was taken from home to a place called Lunatia before here and there was no way to contact home.

txt; un; tsuna27

[theskyaccepts]

You were in another world before this one?

[He's just going, quietly freak out about this. Having his mind blown here just a bit.]

[deliveryhawk]

Yeah. A few of us were, my friends came with us and everyone remembers that place, except one of us and he wasn't there as long as the rest of us.

I met one other guy I knew from that place too and he forgot all about it.

[He actually means Gokudera on that last one, so if they can get to naming names Tsuna's brain can just explode over there.]
