Video; filtered FROM Yamamoto

[reluctant10th]

[the video feed switches on to reveal a rather nervous looking Tsuna, which is...quite normal actually. He's somewhere in the Metropolis District and appears to be walking while he talks]

So---um, for everyone that knows Yamamoto and is a friend of his: Yamamoto's birthday is coming up on the 24th.  And I think we should have a party for him, either

Birthday, huh? Sounds fun! I don't know the guy, but you're welcome to use the inn for a venue if you like. I'll even throw in the food.

[reluctant10th]

Really? That would be great. Would your inn be located near a park or any open space by any chance?

[keeps_strange]

Mmm, it's on the road up to Alpine, but I've got a pretty decent outside area with it! Just needs a bit of landscaping.

[reluctant10th]

T-That could work, I think! We wouldn't need much for a baseball game. It being close to Alpine is helpful too since a lot of my friends live up there...

[keeps_strange]

Cool! What's baseball? Maybe I can arrange the yard to suit it a bit better or something.

[reluctant10th]

It's a game where you have a ball and a bat and [rattling off a mini explanation on baseball here].

I-I'm not to sure yet if we'll have a baseball game yet though, it really depends on everyone else and if they want to participate.

[keeps_strange]

Friendly fun games are always good at parties, right?

[no seriously, is that right? Raki's never really been to one.]

Hopefully lots of people will show up. I wanted to have a big opening event anyway, so why not combine the two? Meet new people, have a good time, could be fun!

[reluctant10th]

Mm! That's right. Those things are usually the norm [Tsuna just hopes nothing explodes. But his life and explosions tend to go hand in hand, so he's not holding his breath]

I hope so too. It'd be nice to meet more people here. Ah--I'm Tsuna, by the way.

[keeps_strange]

Heh, we're kinda late on the introductions, huh? I'm Raki! It's good to meet you, Tsuna. So you wanna make this an all-day shindig or what? Should we meet up and discuss some plans? I gotta admit, I'm kind of new to this innkeeping business, myself.

[reluctant10th]

It's nice to meet you too, Raki-san. I think the party should go from 12pm to 10? Since there will be kids in the group. Y-yeah, that would be a good idea.

[blinks] Ah, realy? W-Well, we're both learning new then? I mean, I've never had to plan for a party before, so...

[keeps_strange]

I think that sounds about right. And, hey, I don't mind keeping the place open a bit longer if folks want to hang around, so no biggie. I'm here pretty much all the time at the moment, so swing by any time you like for that chat.

[he grins reassuringly.] I'm sure we can figure this out, no problems! Can't be that hard. Claire'll probably help out, too, and he's real handy.

[reluctant10th]

I'll drop by sometime tommorow then, once I've talked to everyone else.

[nodding] Ah, you know Claire-san?

[keeps_strange]

All right, I'll look for you then.

[brightens] Yeah, he works for me! Well, I guess he's just killing time. He seems like that kinda guy, doesn't he? [laughing now.] He's fun, though. I know Clare thought he was kinda creepy, but I like him. How do you know him?

[reluctant10th]

He really does.

[smiles a little before it falters when he remembers their meeting.

...their meeting.]

Well, he wanted to investigate the ghost that lives in the Carter estate, so um--he came over.

[keeps_strange]

Heh, he's a bit like that, huh? I think he's pretty harmless, though.

[Raki you have the strangest definition of harmless...]

[reluctant10th]

Y-yeah, he's pretty friendly, isn't he?

[if only they knew]
