The letter

Dear Cyril,

Okay, seriously, why am I writing A LETTER? It's 2032 for christ sakes. You woulda thought paper and pencils wouldn't exist with all the technology the world got, but nope, government thinks that kids actually want to learn if they're actually using them over technology... then again, I do feel for them a bit; if I had a tablet in a classroom and the teach wasn't looking, I'd be helping myself to some hot chicks or games or some shit.

Oh fuck, I forgot I was still writing this. Uh... hey! Now, you might have noticed that something in your house is missing... or someone. Oh, by the way, your milk went bad two days ago. Just saying. And I ate the rest of that meatloaf as well, but it came out like five minutes later, so uh... make sure to use the air freshener when you go to the can. I also happened to notice that your family believes in the invisible fat man in the sky... well, long story short, I took a big brown angel. Also, no drinks?! Aren't you like, going into high school or some shit?! God damn! I pity da fool!

Fuck. Trailed off again. Okay. Focus. Breathe. Woo. Okay, got it. Okay. ANYWAY. You might have noticed that your house is a little different, and someone is missing. Yes, your aunt... well, forgot her name, but your aunt nonetheless. I had a little help from someone special in the Vongola, and you know who? The boss helped me arranged all of this. So you can thank him for me before you come after me. That is, if you do come. If I were you, I'd be shitting bricks too, but unfortunately for you, I'm the dude behind the gun, and you're the one who's in front of it.

Back to the point, Cyril. You might recall a certain famiglia that you left years ago... no? Does the word 'Birra' ring a bell? No, not beer, you don't have any. Do I need to spell it out for you? Wait, I'm writing. I forgot, I DID spell it out for you. Shit. Well, there you have it. Yes, Cyril, I'm from the Birra Famiglia, and I have one mission; make sure I bring back some part of your body as proof that I killed you.

But don't think I don't know what you look like. I mean, with all the tech, it's pretty easy to trace footsteps, but I say it's just my sheer awesomeness as a hitman. That doesn't mean you haven't seen me, either, though... shamefully, you have seen me. Remember Michael? That tall, handsome Americunt? Yep. That was me. But dude... real talk... HOW IS THAT ANNOYING WAPANESE KID TALLER THAN YOU BY AN INCH? What was his name... Daisuck? The Rightning Guardian? Jesus man!

Now, I might sound a little threatening, I know, but take it from my point of view. I feel bad for you, man. You ain't cut out for this mafia business, but you were brought in by that-- wait, I had a Daisuck moment.. or was it Daisuke? Whatever, fuck Japanese names. I forgot you were born right into the Birra, so you were in the mafia from the start, so no need to blame the Vongola for that. Only need to be angry at your dad for producing you and your mommy for not swallowing you.

Man, your fridge is literally empty. Does your aunt go grocery shopping once a week or something? No wonder why you're shorter than that Wapanese kid. Nutrition's important, dude. I know that and I dropped outta school years ago. That's pretty sad, but whatever. This generation of kids is fucking retarded, anyway; boy-band loving moms and fat people really fucked it up for us in the 1990s and 2010s. God damn Americunts. If I was in charge, I would make it illegal to be overweight. Maybe that'll solve our fuckin' issues. Then again, I already make a living out of killing people, so who the fuck needs to be a president or whatever to do that?

Now, I can't help but notice that you're still reading this letter. I know, I know... but I'm only into girls. Instead of reading, I would be, uh, training? What do those clams do these days when something like this happens? I'm pretty sure you get hit by a train or two? I don't know? Nah, I'm just kidding... but for real, you really don't need any. It's not gonna help you or me at all. Just gonna make the inevitable prolonged, man. I just want to leave this shitty excuse for a town, already. It's full of rats, and it smells like the shit in your toilet that won't flush.

Okay, I'm done with this letter. Just so you know, I'm by myself, because I'm strong enough to kill all of you in time to be back home for dinner. I'll be at that fancy school building that you'll be going to in the fall for god knows how long you'll take to get here. Your aunt for your life. Don't worry, there'll be no witnesses, I already paid a visit to the school and gave the janitors the salary of their lives... if you catch my drift. But anyway, go plunge that toilet and stock that fridge okay bye

Fuck signatures

Recapped...

[Quatro]

So, what is everyone up to now?

[RainDash]

Not much, preparing to run around trespiano. I suspect we'll skip forward in a bit.

[AgniSpirit]

Training montage ~

[Dusset]

*sings montage song from Team America*

[Solace]

[AgniSpirit]

Ignoring that terrifying picture, here's what I have for the weaknesses:

Jak: Agility and weapon handling (are we sticking to dual-wielding guns? Cuz I think you should)
Cyril: Fisticuffs
Ben: Ego, long-range and fisticuffs
Abby: Fisticuffs

All I need are Fionn, Daisuke, Prospero, Naoto and Artemis (is she fighting too? Or just support?)

You... you do realize how much of a pain in the ass it is to RP shooting guns, right? Not to mention I have literally no experience with them outside of reading up on gun stances and shit? I mean... it's too much of a hassle. Her new weapon is nicer. I like it a lot better because a lot of her training and previous experience match up with it a lot more. Not changing. Nope.

Artemis could wield a weapon if you want. I might even give her a flame if I felt like it, but she's mainly support right now. (This also could change if I get bored)

[AgniSpirit]

I just like guns so I'm bias. Anyways, what's Jak's new weapon? A mace? I bet it's a mace.

[RainDash]

Nope. It's a 40 cm Wakizashi combined with her past experience with martial art skills. It looks like this you can also see that I changed her appearance.

Here just have the sheet link and read:
Her updated sheet.

[Vongola_Hasayo]

I think Naoto needs to be able to identify enemy intentions in battle and just overall combat training.

[TwilightDragon]

Cyril has the chakrams, so~

Fionn has a claymore. XD

[Dusset]

Oooooo this is the fun part where we get to determine who does what in a combat situation.
Who's the guy up front? Who's the one flanking? Who's suppressing while someone goes for the kill?
You know, things animes should take into account.

[TwilightDragon]

Well, Rains seem like the type of people to suppress when someone goes in for the kill. It could be different, though. XD

[RainDash]

TwilightDragon said

Yeah, because they seem to be the people who fight in close and weaken the enemy for others to get in clean shots. They can slo be overwhelming force, but I doubt that Jak will be that right now. XD

Edit: Hasayano, I had Artemis leave, but I can make her forget something and come back, just an FYI.

[TwilightDragon]

Hmmm. Especially in regards to Fionn, since he's going to have a huge sword that will probably cripple someone if he hits them with it.

Anyway, my post is short since we're skipping soon. Agni should post the skip since Sonya can start with training.

Also, there should also be bonding time. It doesn't all have to be training. XD

[Vongola_Hasayo]

Whoops. Sorry rain. I think I did read that but since it was that one quick sentence it got lost in the rest of the post

it's the textual equivalent of fionn

[RainDash]

Oh wait, I have that post that happens just before the skip, Twi. Aren't we doing that?

[TwilightDragon]

Why does everyone tease Fionn? He's as loyal as the loyalest member of the Vongola.

Yet, he gets overlooked so many times. XD

EDIT:
Oh yeah! That could happen. A skip to the night, then. Maybe that's when bonding between the characters can happen!

Yeah, that's what I realized during your post. I just didn't have much for Arty to do, but I'll have her come back in this next post.
