asgardeventide | 02.video/action for sigyn [day 38]

[so it's another normal day in the sigyn house. sun is shining, birds are singing. wake up, try to go back to sleep only you can't because the birds are singing a little too loudly because they're buzzing right around your head. Video feed flicks on revealing a rather frazzled Tsuna who is doing his best to ignore the tiny yellow birds who are currently dive bombing his head, squeaking out odd phrases like 'GO MAKE FRIENDS' and 'TALK TO PEOPLE' and 'DON'T BE A HERMIT!!!'

He has bigger things to worry about. Such as the many valentines cards on his desk that seem to have angry messages written all over them. Thanks Enma]

So um. D-Do people normally celebrate Valentines like yesterday? I mean, instead of girls giving chocolates [ducking another divebombing bird and squawks himself, frantically waving them away] on Valentines and boys giving back on White Day? It was a bit different from what I'm normally used to, I guess.

[the screen suddenly fills up with feathers and Tsuna shrieks, snatching his bracelet off the desk as he runs out of the room] -OKAY! OKAY I'M GOING, I'M GOING, STOP DIVE BOMBING ME!!!

Anyway I guess that isn't really important but I heard there were a lot of new people arriving lately? W-welcome I guess and don't worry this sort of thing isn't nooooormaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal--

[and the feed finally clicks off]

[[ooc: Tsuna's been cursed by one of the gods for being a hermit and not interacting with people like he should ever since he decided to hole himself up in his room since the dragon attack. Don't mind the birdies that will be following him and attacking him until he makes some attempt at human interaction. Then they'll just disappear into thin air. Action for all of sigyn as Tsuna tries to shake off the birds. weeps what am I doing]]

Yeah. Me too. I've seen proof that colour is coming back here, that we're helping. And I'll keep helping as long as I - can. [She'd been about to say 'have to', but what guarantee is there that anything comes after this?] I just wish I knew if I could go home after this. If I'll stay alive, or...

Y-You could always ask them, right? The gods...

I did ask, when that one talked to us after the dragon attack. I got no answer.

I-It wouldn't hurt to try again, I think. But maybe they still don't know the answer to that.

But there's no way to contact them. They just hide away and set up silly games for us, but they won't answer our questions. I don't know what else I can do. I've heard people call the gods over the network, and I've never heard an answer.

Hm...the last time they spoke to people, it looked like they were overwhelmed with questions so--maybe next time, they might be able to.

I-I'll help, if you like. Ask about it if I manage to get to them first.

[She shoots him a sidelong glance, and surprisingly enough, there's a bit of a smile there.]

You're really optimistic, aren't you?

You don't have to do that. I'm sure you've got questions of your own.

I-I guess so?

[he smiles a little sheepishly.]

I-It's fine. I don't think I have any that no one else has asked anyway.

Well, you're kind, anyway.

[Folding her hands in her lap and looking away a bit shyly.]

[he blushes and looks away, feeling a little shy himself]

Y-You're a really good person yourself, you know?

I just try to do what's right. [With a false no-nonsense firmness in her voice - really, she feels a bit wobbly whenever she gets complimented. It used to be so rare.]

[he smiles]

And that's what makes you a good person.

[She can't hold back a fierce blush anymore.]

Well... thank you.

[his smile becomes a little brighter and he laughs a little, quiet and happy in response]

Mm.

What's funny?

[She doesn't quite sound defensive, but she looks anxious. Is he laughing at her reaction? At her?]

Nothing really. I'm just happy, I guess.

[he gives her a reassuring smile]

I just realized I haven't really sat down and talked with a friend or anyone in awhile and it's--nice.

[even though they were talking about depressing things]

[Now she's openly admiring.]

You really are optimistic.

[Here they are talking about war and death, and all he sees is a chat with a friend. It - it almost makes her teary-eyed, but he'll have to be looking closely to see that, because she blinks them back fast.]

You can talk to me anytime, Tsuna. I think... you might be really good for me.

My friends, they helped with that a lot. I think I was a lot gloomier two years ago.

[because it's hard not to believe in things when you have such incredible people surrounding you. For a second he thinks he catches a glimpse of something but it disappears so quickly that he probably imagined it]

I--thanks. [he looks away shyly again] Whenever you want to talk, you can just come to me.

Yeah? I think I know what you mean. I have friends here who are helping me see things... I think, maybe more clearly. Differently, anyway. I didn't - really have a lot of people to talk to back home.

[The understatement of the year. Her expression is a bit shadowed when she says this, but she doesn't let herself slip right back into the memory. Not with someone so cheerful and positive here.]

Yeah. It's hard not to think positively with some of them around, even if they often liked to cause a lot of trouble. And argue.

[trying not to sigh, recalling the insanity of home. He can sympathize a little - before he met Reborn, he had no one willing to talk to him]

It's different here though, right?

It's... it's totally different. [With a blink of awe.] Like I said, people are understanding and open-minded. They don't judge for the things I was judged for back home. I had no friends until that Nature School last summer, but here... almost everyone wants to help me. They want me to be happy. And the people I don't get along with, even they're different. I'm not - a target. I'm just a person they don't like.

[Well, Vriska might target her a little. But things could be a lot worse with her, the troll's past considered.]

It's almost scary sometimes. I have so much more to lose.

Y-Yeah. People here really are great people. It's kind of weird but nice.

[he smiles, understanding]

I-It is but I guess that's why it means we can fight harder.

[She gets a look of sharp understanding on her face. Weird but nice... he's been treated badly, too. Her heart goes out to him.]

I'm - glad. Even with the war, and friends disappearing, and all I have to lose... I'm still glad I got to experience this kind of life. I think it's changing me for the better.

[it's not really something that bothers him even if he does still weird whenever his friends think he's amazing when he's not even average(IF ONLY HE WAS)]

It's something everyone should experience. Having friends you can trust and count on no matter what.

Do you have any of your friends from home here?
