1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

I'll see about reaching out :)
though, I hope I can live up to what you've said

[Knowing Gokudera there were probably embellishments]

I think that's part of his philosophy
I don't know. Because he's...like that.
you kind of have to meet him to get it.
I think.

[Explaining is all well and good but Reborn is just...Reborn.

[rediscovering]

ahhh.... one of those types.
uncle is one of those "you kind of have to meet him to get it" people too. descriptions don't cut it.
he's a strict teacher too but he never tormented me....
piandao, my swordsmanship teacher as a boy, often launched surprise attacks though
that was nerve-wracking the first couple times. ha.

[theskyaccepts]

That's kind of Reborn's default setting.
I don't think it's stopped being nerve-wracking.
Every time he pops out it's a different costume from a different place.
I can't read him at all

[Just talking about it is bringing back the exhaustion.]

[rediscovering]

costume? he wears costumes.....??
even piandao didnt go that far
and he's pretty uh creative

[ Zuko's imagining this baby in fancy dress with a big gun and it's absurd. He's also imagining Piandao in fancy dress, right on the thought's heels, and it's... somehow even more absurd than the imagine his imagination concocts of baby Reborn. ]

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, he does.
It's...hard to explain why but some of it I think it to just scare me, some of it's to confuse other people. He's got a lot of other identities.
It's weird.
I think he likes doing it to.

[He's never met non-arcobaleno form Reborn but he would not be surprised if it carried over. And this is the world's greatest hitman]

[rediscovering]

......i guess that makes sense for a hitman to have many identities
but isnt he a baby
isnt a baby in a costume just more noticeable
people notice babies normally im sure it’s just attention grabbing dressing up in weird outfits right

[theskyaccepts]

You would think that yeah
but people just seem to take it as normal
or at least buy into the disguise
He's...a special kind of baby.

[And not just because he's an arcobaleno.]

[rediscovering]

it sure as hell sounds like it......

[theskyaccepts]

I kind of wish he was here
i promise I'm not making this up.

[rediscovering]

do you think he'd find a way to train you in magic if he was here

of course youre not making it up
i know that
gokudera told me about reborn when we first met
we were comparing the craziest things from our worlds, which for me was meeting dragons the world thought were extinct guarded by a secret ancient civilization that had been thought gone for thousands of years
and he told me about reborn
and how he shoots you in the head to train you

gokudera won "craziest thing.." :)

[theskyaccepts]

Probably. He'd figure something out.

Haha, yeah. That usually does it.
Not sure how proud of that I should be...

[rediscovering]

ha ha i'd say be proud right??
you're the one surviving the craziness

[theskyaccepts]

That's true, haha
