2nd Screw [Action]
[Nano picked a bad time to show up in Hinoto-Ri. She's a Leo, and the fear inflicted upon her by the event has reached the point of complete unhinged terror. At the beginning of the day, she thought to take a walk to clear her head, but as things got worse and worse, she's found herself utterly unable to deal with the world around her. And to make matters worse, those horrible scorpion creatures are crawling all over the city - and now, perhaps smelling her fear, they're also crawling all over Nano. She can be found running all over the city at various points throughout the day, trying desperately to shake them off and get to safety.]
Noooooooooo! Stop it! Get off, get off!
[She's really too afraid to do much of anything about it. In fact, she's even too afraid to notice that in her panic, she's managed to manifest her Persona, Pinocchio, for the first time, floating protectively above her as the scorpions continue to sting at her. Ironically, the robotic nature that Nano normally tries so hard to hide is currently her only saving grace, as her Persona reflects physical damage and the scorpions' venom can't affect someone without a genuine circulatory or nervous system. The scorpions will eventually mindlessly sting themselves to death, but there are quite a few of them and Nano's not much for fighting, so it seems she's going to need some help here.]

[And she's back to cowering.]

[This command is delivered in a calm, even voice. Not at all like the fearful squealing he was doing only moments before. And after a few seconds, the scorpions stop moving. Most of them just fall away, frozen in place. If she looks up, she'll see Tsuna standing there, concentrating. A flame on his forehead matching the one flickering at his fingertips.]
There, that should take care of them for a few minutes. Can you stand?
no subject
H-how did you do that...?
no subject
[He's actually debating just flying there. Scorpions can't fly, so at least they won't attack again.]
Where are you staying?

Hold on tight.
[He's just going to pick her up and fly her away from the thawing scorpions.]
no subject
[She's not really sure what he's talking about, but she barely has time to figure it out before they're shooting off into the distance. Nano lets out a shriek as the key in her back begins spinning like crazy.]
no subject
S-sorry about that. Are you okay?
[He glances around nervously.]
Listen, we should probably get inside before those scorpions come back.

no subject
[Oh, right. It kind of was.]
That's... kind of a long story.
[At least in hyper mode he gets to keep his clothes on, otherwise this conversation would have been at least four times as awkward.]
So... if we can skip the discussion about that, then I won't ask about the key in your back. Sound fair?
no subject
[Well, that's one way to shut her up. Good job, Tsuna. Nano blanches for a moment before nodding slowly.]
Yes, that sounds fine.
no subject
[Still on the lookout for the little beasts. Not that they're actually eating anyone, but Tsuna's imagination can fill in the blanks.]
