He's a griffin, but he's closer to a big dog.
When I call on him, he's happy to help but he usually wants treats and attention afterwards
doesn't really seem to know about personal space.

Probably. But I'd hate it if someone else got a hold of him
It's probably not a technology we need to spread here.
I don't...not yet anyway. I figured I'd get one eventually but I didn't get anything from my future self.
I've just been told to refine my own techniques.

[Though, considering the possible fate of his future self, he's not sure how to take that.]

ha that sounds like my dragon
you met him when hes big
but usually hes little and crawls on me
and uncle. and azula. and gokudera.....
he steals food though and eats weird stuff he finds around town, thats annoying
what do you get yours for treats??? i always buy zunyan stuff

[ Like, way more than he should. The dragon has its own stash of belongings by this point. Which it just hoards in a pile under the bed. Because it's a dragon. Zuko wastes so much money contributing to this hidden pile of random loot. ]

lets ask around and figure it out
maybe there's a magic that'd keep him safe too

what exactly is a box weapon then? did gokudera design this himself in the future??
i feel like the more i learn about your world and your powers the less i understand ha

[ Two "ha's" from Zuko in one message? This is a good conversation, Tsuna! ]

I usually try for like, sweets and stuff.
Or jerky. Aki seems to really like that.
I always need to keep some on me if I call on him
He likes food almost as much as he likes attention.

There's gotta be something

Haha, yeah. I'm kinda in the same boat.
But no, Gokudera didn't design the box weapons, that was some other scientists.
Gokudera just made his Sistema C.A.I. and I think Uri's part of that. I haven't really seen it in action much. He had to figure it out from his future self.
But they're boxes with animal spirits in them, and you can use them as weapons or storage or other items. They react with our flames.

oh i bet zun would like jerky too
he eats anything though...... but i don't think he likes sweets as much. but ive also seen him try to eat a rock so you know
he has questionable tastes.. >:|
but zun likes attention almost as much as he likes food ha

gokuderas so smart he told me about his weapons system yeah
the time traveling sounds... scary...though..

so we would need to get the box that has uri's spirit in it?? if we were to try to figure out how to get uri here??

Sounds like he's a hungry little guy
Did he actually eat the rock?

It was.
Especially since I didn't really know how it works
Before I knew it only lasted like 5 minutes so for it to not do that was
yeah

The thing is, the boxes can only be open with dying will flames, and we don't have those here.
So we'd need a way to open the box, or just get Uri here and use magic somehow?

no i pried it out of his mouth
i feel like im always prying shit out of his mouth...... >:|
usually he just eats faster when i notice him which is when i know i need to intervene

wait you guys were only in the future for five minutes??
what do you mean?
gokudera told me he hated the man he became, because of... what happened to you.... and that he's motivated to never allow that version of the future to happen. he didn't explain technical stuff more than just uh...... his feelings.

[ This was also the moment Zuko's "Gokudera is the Avatar" theory was born, though, so in fairness, Zuko got him distracted from the technical details. With. Bull shit. ]

i wonder if magic from this world could open it
it may not be dying will flames but it's linked to our souls or whatever right

Sounds like a handful
I'm kinda glad Aki can look after himself.

I explained that wrong. Sorry.
There's a device in my world called the 10-year-bazooka. I don't really know how it works but when someone's shot with it, they switch places with themselves ten years in the future. Lambo used it a lot. Normally it only lasts five minutes and then things go back.
But when we were shot with it, we went into the future and...didn't go back after five minutes.
So we're stuck there, and it looks like we have to stop a man named Byakuran in order to go back.
I...uh.

[He hasn't really told anyone about this, aside from Gokudera. But with how much Zzuko knows, it seems wrong not to fill in the blanks.]

I woke up in a coffin.
Implying that my future self...yeah.
But, no one really seems to want to talk about how that happened. And I haven't asked.
The future...it's not great.

It might. Maybe the traders would know?
Or there's something somebody could make

wait
you're still stuck in the future??
but you woke up in a coffin....... that's scary. i'm sorry tenth.
so there's no way of knowing when you died either if no one will tell you how.
how'd you get out of the coffin??
and who is byakuran? you mentioned that name to me before, too. gokudera never had.

lets ask the traders yeah
maybe we'd have to commission something special for it work
but if you explain it to them i bet they could figure something out right??? it's interdimensional space magic.......
i'd be willing to pay for however much that would cost. wanna go half on it if it comes to that?

Yeah, I am.
Before coming here, we were on our way to attack one of the Millefiore family's bases, and hopefully stop a man named Irie Shoichi, who we think has something to do with the time travel.
I mean, I didn't know it was a coffin at first so it was easy enough to get the lid off. I actually ran into the Gokudera of the future until the Gokudera I knew appeared as well.
Byakuran is the leader of the Millefiore family, and he's kind of the reason why the future is all messed up. I haven't actually met him, but that's what I've been told. The Millefiore family's kind of in control of everything.

I can definitely do that.
And yeah, absolutely!

wait so you met gokudera ten years in the future?? and also a young gokudera at the same time??
but because you're... presumably dead... there was only one of you? so you just woke up wherever your own body was or something? how's it work
your world is incredible, the things that can happen.......

what is so bad about the millefiore family, are they evil??

Briefly, yeah.
The older version was replaced by the younger version before I could really ask any questions.
The ten year bazooka switches the current self with the future self.
So it was still me, and...yeah, I guess something happens to the future me.
I don't really like thinking about it

[For a lot of reasons]

They're the Vongola family's enemy in the future.
I just know that they control a lot of the world and that Byakuran is dangerous
They killed Reborn and a lot of others to get what they want
That's reason enough for me to stand against them

do you think they killed you too?

is this future guaranteed......?
the way gokudera spoke about it made it seem it was like... a possible timeline
one he's determined to prevent from happening now
to protect you

part of me. worries that it happened.
But my future self seemed really prepared
So, I don't know.

But no, I don't think it is.
Part of why we're going on the attack is to find a man named Irie Shoichi.
If we can stop him, we might be able to put things right

what's so special about irie shoichi

[ The names in their world still get him sometimes... Always out of the blue. Those cultural differences. Azula found the name "Tamaki" strange, Zuko's put off by Irie Shoichi.

But Jeong Jeong is fine. ]

I don't really know. Other than he's the guy we have to stop.
He works with Byakuran and might be able to get us back to the past.

stop him from doing what?? you don't know?

I guess from working with Byakuran
And I think he has information on how to get us back to the past.
Like a time machine or something
Hopefully something more reliable than the ten year bazooka

i can't believe the technology in your world
everything ive heard about your world is astounding
even what i saw in gokudera's memories
like a fairytale for me
but like........ a fairytale in the future.

I can't believe it sometimes either
Especially the future stuff
But this place isn't too far off from what I knew
at least at home

this world is so different from my world too
my world seems....... simple.... compared to the other worlds i've seen now.
we don't even have electricity where im from. gokudera had to explain it to me in the other world. he taught me what a camera was... yamamoto taught me about movies...... we don't have any of that.
just plays and paintings. even the stuff that isn't magic is like magic for me...... i'm not really sure how to tell what's the difference, what's normal in other worlds or just here. most people seem so much more at ease and familiar with these things than i am. it was exhausting in the beginning.

It sounds like a big change, yeah.
I mean, we still had plays and paintings, to just also movies and things like that.
But I can imagine how weird it must be.
The magic's unfamiliar though, as much as I use it.

yeah
uncle is struggling with it more than i did
maybe because he's old, i don't know
on his second day he fucking set his phone on fire trying to answer it when i called. how does that happen.......!!!!

the elemental magic is enough like bending that it's not so foreign to me
and i like the way this world reveres nature too. how it doesn't disturb nature to make room for human life.
that's honestly even better than in my world
but the rest of it and the technology and everything, it's definitely alien......

I wouldn't even know
Does he have elemental magic? Maybe something set it off?

If you need any help, you can ask me?
I mean, not the best with some things and Gokudera might be better but
yeah

yeah he does
but i don't know what he was thinking, i was right there trying to show him how phone calls work.....
i think he did it on purpose by mistake.... i had to buy him a new phone!!

thanks tenth i appreciate that
how has your training with your magic been going??
i think ive decided to go to school to start learning more than i can teach myself on my own

Sounds complicated.
Unless he really wanted a new phone for some reason.

It's been going. I guess.
I've been really thinking about it to.
I was going to check it out at least before deciding.
