Voice-testing & too lazy to find older!Tsuna icons

D-did you really have to use this username, Mun? (It's embarrassing, and what if Reborn finds out??) I mean, it's funny I suppose, but no-one's going to understand what it means!

...No, you're right. It doesn't matter right now. Just...promise me you'll write me well? Please? And everyone else, of course - I don't want to steal the limelight, hahaha... I'll be fine with Mukuro-san; I know he won't bite me. (I think.)

It is a pun on endorphins, is it not?

[endolphins]

Well, yes, but... It wasn't meant to be. It was something silly I said...

[consider8]

Something silly? Do you mind indulging?

[endolphins]

[Tsuna is appropriately embarrassed as he responds.]

In Japanese the word sounds like 'endolphins'. I didn't realise it was spelt with an 'r'...

[consider8]

Oh, I see. It's a cultural thing.

Though I don't mean to diminished your feelings on the matter, I don't see why that is anything to be embarrassed about, really.

[endolphins]

My tutor wants me to be perfect. Or, as perfect as I can be anyway. I'm not all that smart, really, and he's a really harsh tutor.

[consider8]

That sounds like a difficult situation.

[endolphins]

I've gotten used to it. He used to pull a gun on me every time I got something wrong and I guess it helped me learn faster?

[consider8]

Uh...

[Okay, not sure if good...]

That's... effective, I suppose...

[endolphins]

[What's sadder is that Tsuna, completely used to this treatment, finds it normal.]

He always says fear gets things done faster than loyalty. I wouldn't do what he does myself, but...it's true. [he sighs]

[consider8]

[Sounds like he and her friend would get along swimmingly if they didn't kill each other first.]

Well, how would you train somebody? This is to presume that you would want to someday.

[endolphins]

I do oversee some training, when there's no paperwork to fill out. I think people learn better when you're not threatening to fire bullets at them constantly. And if you explain to them what they're doing wrong and show them how to do it the right, they'll remember it.

[consider8]

Yes, I agree.

[tonfad]

(whoa wait up a minute
savour this rare sight, young Tsuna. This is Hibari (or, well, a Hibari) laughing-- yes, actually laughing (to be honest though, it's more like a quiet chuckling)
at you.

So, how does it feel to be the cause of one overly serious man's amusement?)

[endolphins]

Yeah, so...yes. [Awkward Tuna feels awkward. Quick, find something else to talk about!]

Um, are you the troll that makes fish puns...?

[consider8]

Err... no. That is the one that could ostensibly be called my friend.

[endolphins]

[The Hibari he knows never laughs. The first thought in this twenty-something year old's mind is that the man has snapped.]

Hibari-san...?

[tonfad]

You herbivores are always so amusing. (He's stopped laughing now, though there is a smirk on his lips that belies the seriousness of his tone. There's also the slightest flash of gleaming teeth in his smile, though his fangs aren't visible.)

[endolphins]

Oh, right. Then...you're the one that types 8's?

[consider8]

You've met me before?

[endolphins]

[...Tsuna is even more weirded out by that smile, but rather than back away like he might have done when he was younger, he takes a step closer.]

Maybe we are, but... Did I-Pin hit your head too hard? You're acting strangely.

[endolphins]

No, Mun just knows you because she sees trolls everywhere and her friends are always talking about you. Not...you specifically, but...all of you.

[tonfad]

(Gosh, you should get a medal or something, Tsuna! He hasn't been this amused for centuries!)

And how would you know how I act? (You're not the one from his territory, the one that has the potential to change everything... and yet, at the same time, your scent is very similar. Hmm.)

[consider8]

Oh. [giggles]

I see.

Well, let your mun know that compared to the usual iteration of my color and sign, I am a fair bit different.

[endolphins]

What do you mean? I've known you sin--

[He stops suddenly, spidey senses instincts tingling. Oh god, no, no way... Horror and disbelief replace concern as he looks more closely at the man in front of him, and he whispers to himself:]

Vampire...?
