video @Yamamoto

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He fiddles with the screen after he first appears for a moment. Once he has it set he gives a big thumbs up to the camera with a smile. Excuse the slightly sweaty teenager in his sword practice clothing. He has been training when he gets the chance.]

Yo, I'm Takeshi Yamamoto, are there any places good for sword training?

[He has been exploring but he misses the dojo where he usually trains. He has one more question but first, a sparrow who looks to be made of rain flutters around his head while a pup with three short swords with blades appearing rain made as well pops up to lick his face. He laughs.]

Oh, Jiro and Kojiro say hi too. Does anyone need any help with projects or jobs? [He would like to keep training but also get involved in helping around Anchor any way he can.]

[tsuyoi_ame]

I met him when I first arrived, he caught me feeding Jiro at the buffet. I don't remember if he said he was a scientist but he was pretty interested in my sword technique, seemed like a nice guy.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I think Ami knows more about them. Could ask her what they do.

[Knowing the weird shit that goes on in this place, they don't actually do anything at all and they're just some freaky Halloween-version of regular apples that just exist to creep you out.

She shakes her head, and as they walk they slowly make their way around to where a barn has been set up.]

Uh... I think there's someone living in there, but we've not really talked.

[tsuyoi_ame]

I am helping her with Japanese, I'll see what I can find out.

[That would be nice, at least then they'd know there were not apples out to get them the same as some of the other less friendly creatures around here.

He glances over to the barn, looking to see if he can find a sign of anyone.]

In a barn? [He chuckles, not teasing just genuinely amused at the thought of someone living in a barn.]

[livingdeadgirl]

well there you go!
you are all set
i assume thats a friend of yours back home?

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yup!

Yeah, but he's actually here with me too, we showed up the same day.

[arcadedragon]

He is, very helpful, wants to save the world. A hero type. The world needs more heroes.

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yup! That's why me and my friends fight, to protect everyone, I guess Tsuna would be considered a hero.

[So would you Yamamoto but of course he doesn't see it that way.]

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, in a barn.

[Shrug. Hell, why not live in a barn? Do what makes you happy or some shit like that. Julie's thought about moving rooms but all her stuff is in the one she's using now and it just feels like way too much hastle.]

I see him walking around here sometimes. There's something--

[Ehhhh.]

Weird about him.

[livingdeadgirl]

oh thats awesome!
and rare! you guys got lucky
or equally unlucky depending on your point of view
you know for a while we had a family where three or four siblings were all here at once?
theyre all gone now but a couple of them were cool

[tsuyoi_ame]

I think it's lucky, we're stronger together!

Whoa, that's a lot of the same people, I wonder if the rest of our friends will show up.

[tsuyoi_ame]

I'll check around, make sure it's safe. Maybe introduce myself.

[He won't mess with the guy, probably introduce himself. Just make sure that he is not a threat to Julie because she may have known him five minutes but to Yamaoto that is enough time to be friends.]

[arcadedragon]

And what of you?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Heh. Somehow, really not surprised about that.

[Hell, he seems like the kind of guy who would introduce himself to just about anyone. Julie used to be like that, too.]

You this chatty with everyone you meet?

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yup! How else do I make friends?

[He is exactly that kind of guy, no matter what the world gives him he keeps trying to make it brighter with his presence.]

Is that weird?

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He chuckles.]

I just try my hardest to keep everyone safe, I don't think I'm a hero.

[arcadedragon]

Is that not what a hero is? Someone who keeps others safe?

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah you never know!

[ She briefly considers telling him about the friends she's had show up over the time she's been here - but does that count? They've never been quite the same people she knows. They're those people before dying and reincarnating. Familiar, yet different - just enough to make things incredibly awkward.

... Nah, she'll just change the subject. ]

anyway
if you need an adventure guide later on id be happy to
there are a few things i want to pick up anyway
ill just need to get a new helmet made first

[ Since, uh, she can't fit her horns into the existing ones. ]

[tsuyoi_ame]

Exactly!


Oh, that would be great!
Let me know if you need help getting anything.
I'd be glad to go whenever you have time!

[tsuyoi_ame]

Huh, I guess you're right I just never thought of myself as the hero type. I'm just helping my friends.

[redwinekindofgirl]

[She stares at him for a second, and then snorts softly.]

Yeah-- Yeah, I guess so. I've made a lot of friends because I've had to, in places like this.

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He grins at her, really it's his default expression, he probably even grins in his sleep.]

It's better that way, I'd be lonely without my friends.

[Besides, she may not realize it but she is now one of those friends in his eyes. it does not take much with this guy.]

[arcadedragon]

True heroes are not in it for the glory, they are simply doing what they must. You fit that description do you not?

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Julie would not be at all surprised if he did in fact grin in his sleep.]

Yeah, I guess. I suppose I avoid it more than I used to. Means it sucks less when people leave.

[And for Julie, the idea of people leaving before she does has always been a certain one.]

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He probably does, someone will have to ask Gokudera about that.]

Doesn't that get lonely?

[it is not a prying question or not meant to be, it is just earnest. ]

[tsuyoi_ame]

Oh [He sounds thoughtful, then sheepish, still modest about it with a laugh.]

I guess you're right, I never thought of it!
