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

I'll come. And I can't definitively speak for Makoto's plans, but I believe she'd want to come, too. I'd also like to help with the preparations, if you don't mind having me around.

The baseball game is a good idea! He'd definitely appreciate that, and it'd be a good way to introduce others to the game. We might even find some more players.

Private

I'm okay. Work as usual. [He feels around his head for the screwdriver, retrieves it from behind one ear, and bobs it. He's trying to be playful.]

And you?

[reluctant10th]

More help would definitely be great.

Raki-san offered to let us use his inn for the party, so there will definitely be some people who haven't seen the game before

private

That's good. I'm fine too. All recovered.

[saiyajinsoul]

Baseball in the mountains, then. That should be interesting. Can you suggest any gifts for Yamamoto? Is there anything he could use more of?

Private

[He studies you for a moment, then nods.

And then narrows his eyes at the spaces behind you. Not that he'd know where you are right now, but:]

How has your guest been? Not giving you any trouble?

[reluctant10th]

[rubs his forehead]

I'm drawing a blank on ideas myself. The only thing I know he really wants is something back home that, no matter how hard both of us wish, it wont come to him. M-Maybe a new jacket? Or a practice sword of sorts or a video or book on sword practioners...

Private

He's been behaving himself, outside of eating Lambo's chocolate and then provoking him

[that incident with the ten years later bazooka was a complete disaster]

[saiyajinsoul]

[Hmmmm... The material on swordsmanship, he might be able to get. But how about:]

Is it something you could ask others to wish for him? Apparently, the more people making the same wish, the greater the chances for the wish coming true.

Private

...

Good.

[reluctant10th]

It's a sword Yamamoto's been wanting. I'm not sure if the city will give it to him.

[saiyajinsoul]

Ah, so that's why it's been difficult to wish for...

[He looks away to think. It'd be good for his friend to have something to fight with, but will it also be good for him to be more involved in fights once he has a weapon? Either way, it's not really for him to dictate what Yamamoto can and can't do with himself... Anyway:]

At what skill level is Yamamoto's swordsmanship?

1/2

[reluctant10th]

[full of 100% belief]

The strongest.

2/2 SORRY FOR THE INBOX SPAM

[reluctant10th]

His style doesn't have a level based system like Kendo or anything but he is the best swordsman I know.

[tapping his chin in thought]

[saiyajinsoul]

[He tries not to smile too widely. Is THIS why Yamamoto trusts you so much, Tsuna?]

Any kind of sword he favors?

[reluctant10th]

[Just one part, perhaps. But it wasn't like Yamamot's unwavering trust in Tsuna was ever one sided. Tsuna trusts Yamamoto just as much. How to explain Yamamoto's sword? It was a shape shifting one after all]

He favours shinai and katana.

[saiyajinsoul]

[He nods.]

Thanks for the tip, Tsuna.

[reluctant10th]

No problem.
