RECRUITMENT!(Spiaggia)

[Rai Inazuma]

It had been decided!

And by that, we mean Raitaro was done sitting around being useless. While Sheeka and Rin tried to establish which of the Vongola they thought would be the best leader to support, Raitaro was also going to be doing serious Mafia style stuff to the best of his wildly varying level of ability. Which was why he was now trying to pick out some replacement members who could be useful as guardians while not bothering to check whether or not said people could use Dying Will Flames.

His Lightning Mare Ring sparkled in the sunlight as he sat with his legs wrapped firmly around the telegraph pole and a pair of binoculars in hand. He was kinda glad to have it back, even if it brought back sad memories of his mom it also meant he could carry Raku Raku around with him without a huge bag on his back. He still had his spear-head in case things went wrong (read: he lost the ring again or some such nonsense) but for the moment, the denim jacket wearing, tracksuit pants rocking leader of Spiaggia was busy trying to locate the guy from his class.

See, he didn't go to school often but acting on a tip from Sheeks he'd watched the pink haired dude in their class (and it being Japan that wasn't TOO hard, one of the few ways him and Sheeks blended in was that they had standard hair colours). He hadn't had a chance to consult with Rin about it but from what he'd gleaned from snooping with his usual stealth it seemed the guy's name (uhhh Hachi?), he spent his days at school, evenings working full-time and generally being a hard-working, dedicated, totally detached cool guy who STILL got better grades than Raitaro.

So obviously he'd be a great person to join the Famiglia. As far as Raitaro could remember, having willpower was a key part to activating Dying Will Flames, and this guy seemed to have great willpower so logically he must be a user of dying will flames (yup, sound logic there)

Glancing through his binoculars, Raitaro found the pink hair and followed it carefully as he walked towards his work. He was momentarily distracted by a filmset and spent around 5 minutes staring at the pink haired guy as he walked close to the telegraph pole before deciding it'd be worth checking out that film-set some more. Focusing in, they seemed to be doing an action scene and... wait, did that guy look familiar?

That he always seemed to wind up babysitting the younger ones - like Rai who seemed to get into trouble on his own...for example; being hit by a car and then trying to make buddy-buddy with the culprit. He was...at the moment the second oldest of the current generation - whether or not Sayomi was older than he was was still unknown to him...but he definitely was one of the more mature of the Spiaggia - his problems with height aside. So when Raitaro's father had requested that he keep an eye on Raitaro during his 'recruitment.' Raitaro's judge of character was...who knew, actually. Rin was the only one of the current family to be recruited by Rai...so that would be a point towards a good judge of character. Then again, she was a trained assassin...so again. Who knew. Sheeka had been trailing Raitaro since he had departed from the dojo, at the request of his father as previously mentioned, disguised as a rather cute lolita girl; it was uncanny how much like his mother he looked when he took the time to do something like this - besides the height difference(FEM!LOLI!SHEEKA MAKES AN APPEARANCE). Sheeka was just steadily getting more and more confused by Raitaro's movements, though. Just what was he doing? That was not stealthy...you were supposed to be inconspicuous when stalking somebody! Not so blatantly obvious. A sigh escaped Sheeka's lips as he rubbed his forehead, trying to relieve an on-coming headache as he watched Rai climb a pole. Wait. What. He was climbing up, very not gracefully, the pole...so now the question was how he was going to get down. Great. That's all he needed, Raitaro falling off of a pole and hitting his head...maybe it would do the opposite and make him more intelligent if he did? He wasn't going to test that theory out. Sheeka's head tilted to the side as he watched Rai's attention turn from the one he wanted to a filmset. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he rubbed his forehead. Distracted. Typical Rai. He felt like he had kids sometimes when dealing with Rin and Raitaro...mostly the latter of that bunch. What was he going to do with that boy? [/style]

Working at an convenience store wasn't all that big of a deal after all in fact it was a super easy job. Or at least it typically was when he wasn't making a mess of things because of his terrible organization. He always managed to clean it up before the shift change though and the others never seemed to care. If they had then he was sure that they would have had him fired by now but that wasn't the case. Going off to work right after school didn't bother him much at all since this was all for his family. It was when he was being tailed by his little sister that he had a problem with it. He wasn't sure what she was doing actually since she was walking far back and with a bunch of her friends. It would have been a lot more bothersome if she had been by herself and trying to act sneaky. It looked like it was just a coincidence that she was heading in the same direction as him. Hachi just sighed and decided that it would be better to just ignore the fact that she was walking behind him. He felt like he was being stalked by his own family but he'd be fine since it was Chika after all. He knew all her weaknesses and would be able to stop her in her tracks if he needed to. That thought was amusing especially if he were to mention something about how she was lacking in the chest department when all her friends weren't. Yeah, that would be a good thing to make her stop and blush then punch him in the arm. It wasn't until he had gotten farther on his journey that he found just what his sister and her friends had been following him for. It wasn't for the laughs or some creepy obsession that one of them might have with him. No, it was the fact that a movie was being recorded on the way to the convenience store and that was what the group of them were going to check out. He stopped in his path as he stared at the film set and let out a sigh again. There was no way that he'd be able to walk through this mess as for some reason they were blocking off the path that he took to work. He'd have to find a way around it to get to work on time. Hachi decided it wouldn't be all that bad to just stand by for a few minutes before seriously heading off to work. The person working right now would probably understand especially since he was still a high school kid no matter how serious he was about work. He could have his thrills in watching a movie set and keep an eye on his little sister as well. She stopped with her friends on the opposite side of the street as him and he made eye contact with her for a short while with a grin on his face. Her response to this was sticking her tongue out and making a completely silly face at him, which grabbed one of her friend's attention. She happened to look over and notice who she was making faces at, blush, and go back to paying attention to them. It was cute that one of his sister's friends had a crush on him. 591 words ♠ Rai&Sheeks&Bunshi ♠ Hachi's sister doesn't have pink hair like him. :3

At least, the one following the actually filmed one was. Seriously, what employee would dare to crack open in laughter in-front of the director like this after a nearly complete second take? To those watching, the biker stuntman - towering over the typical midget director - was just some loon, laughing carefreely like that while being scolded. Anybody watching from afar could faintly hear the hot-headed, angry man yelling at the taller man. After a small time of scolds, he turned to the other staff as the bulky man turned away while still laughing, putting on the helmet to protect himself from any serious injuries in any unfortunate accident. The director turned to many as gradually, the area became more lighted. Finally, he had turned over, looking at the guy staring through binoculars from afar. Pulling out a megaphone, he suddenly yelled out with his grumpy, hoarse voice. "HEY YOU!! Git down from dere, we need dat pole!! You're in de way!!" Hopefully that would be enough to make that chameleon guy leave their set. That was odd though, the biker stuntman couldn't recall instructions involving that large pole. In response, as usual, he just laughed it off, before suddenly being pointed at by the suited gnome in shaded and a cabaret. A sharp jab catching him off-guard was all that was needed in truth to get the adult working. "BUNSHICHI!! Git in posishen!!" He angrily yelled before making sure his stuntman made his way back to his stations, the starting point of this scene. Hopping up on his chair, the director grinned as he yelled into his plain megaphone, as the staff finished adjusting the lights and the overall background accessories unseen in that particular area before. Bunshichi - the stuntman - prepared to make his debut as the engines started working again, the holder kicked off the ground as the red motorcycle was then mounted on. Take 3: Lights, Camera, Action!! With no warning at all, high speed shot -- Bunshichi rocketed forward at great speed, remembering the course he practiced not once on other sets. This one, it was perfect -- the drifts were as thrilling as he expected, the jumpstart to max speed proving one of the best attempts if not the best. Through his bare undershirt and hands very well he felt the resistance of the wind against his speeding figure, blowing through the blue jacket and cascading at the backhand. This feeling, he loved it -- if he was onlyallowed, Bunshichi would have joyously laughed. Left, drift, right, and then the ramp. Speeding up further on a single second, Bunshichi found himself airborne, riding on the air with a heavy vehicle. How he wanted to stay hovering like that -- but what comes up must go down. The distance covered was too vast for him to try estimate, but surely the engineers knew how much he leapt. Cleanly, elegantly landing as if in a slide at the other set, featuring a similar ramp, Bunshichi leaned to his right and pressed the breaks, resulting in a single spin and stopping the vehicle flashily -- leaving the tires' course signs clearly on the road. He then got off and took off the helmet, according to script. "Phew!" Complete success. Only thing left to finish this scene was to add the CG effects and replace Bunshichi with the actual actor, as usually done with actors and their stuntmen. Although, director did say they needed the pole for something. Bunshichi chuckled to himself, thinking maybe he has another part on this scene, though back to Take 1. "Arright, we got dis!! You guys, firty minute break and we're back in work!!" At least the director seemed satisfied.

So, somebody, not naming any names, doesn't have a terrific sense of balance. And being suddenly shouted at is quite counter-productive to this. So it may surprise no-one that Raitaro lost his grip and wound up slipping off the pole, having enough time to very briefly curse
"Damnit!-" before hitting the pavement with a not too quiet crack. He glanced up at the girl in the lolita dress, she looked about his age, green eyes brown hair, the kind of girl that most boys, especially flirtatious ones like Rai, would immediately of jumped on. After blinking a few times, he decided not to ask Sheeka why he wasn't posing as a boy today and sat upright, giving a brief salute
"Sup?"
leaving it at that, he stood up and dusted off before heading over to the filmset. For someone who was always so dense, Raitaro was annoyingly perceptive when it came to Sheeka's illusions (though his advantage this time was that he was usually half and half whether Sheeka would be in a dress most days). Heading over to the film-set, intent on keeping his eye on the pink haired dude, Raitaro wound up straying close to the bike scene.

He watched as the bike shot past, thankfully he didn't get in the way of this one, Rin would definitely have killed him if he'd been mown down by ANOTHER high speed vehicle. Watching the stunts finish, Raitaro managed to very nearly spoil the shot until the camera zoomed over his head. He leant back just in time and watched as it panned over where he had been and with a quick shuffle wound up near the other crowd of adoring onlookers. He managed to spot the pink haired dude and with an awkward whistle strolled over to beside him and began snooping quickly and examining him with rapid head movements as if he was looking for some spontaneous human combustion of the Dying Will Flame variety.

He was also vaguely aware of the director shouting and that a gaggle of younger girls was eyeing him up now that he was so close to the pink haired dude. He was keeping an eye on the girl from before in the lolita dress (Sheeka. He knew full well that was Sheeka and he'd just stopped pretending he wasn't a spy for the girls) he hadn't seen the stuntdude's face yet for the helmet. His focus still on the pink haired dude he started trying to think of questions that might subtley get the information he needed out of him
"Hey, you're a guy from my class, what a random totally unplanned meeting we have here. So... d'you have super powers?" if social interaction were a window, Raitaro would be the brick. Though with that attitude, that face and that RING on his finger, he might not be the only Spiaggia member looking like his mother right now.

While he knew that he was likely okay, it was still rather...worrisome to see him take a tumble from such a height. Sheeka himself had once fallen off the roof of a building - but it had only been a two-story house and he'd landed in a bush and not on the concrete ground. He blinked as Rai looked up at him, slightly confused but then 'supped' him. Did he see through the illusion? Well. He was never living /that/ down now. "I was hoping you wouldn't notice me...I did such a good job on this illusion too," Sheeka stated, pouting slightly. "It's cute, right?" Wait...there wasn't a need to ask Raitaro whether or not his /female/ illusion was cute or not. "Maybe a change in hair color...?" Sheeka's head tilted slightly as Raitaro wandered over to the film set and while he did that, Sheeka wandered to Hachirou and the group of girls until he was standing next to Hachi, his arms wrapped around his stuffed toy, sighing slightly in relief as Raitaro avoided interfering with the shot. Sheeka wasn't near as interested in the stunt jump as some other people were - his intent was the potential guardian next to him. He appeared interested - yet was keep an eye on him through his peripheral vision. If he could flames - he wondered what flames he used. They needed a Sun, Sky, and a Storm as far as he remembered. Sheeka was curious about what Rai was saying when he eventually came over...until he asked whether or not he had 'super powers' really? As far as Sheeka knew - some people's flames didn't manifest until they needed it, began training, or were shot with a dying will bullet...although, in some rare cases they did manifest without any of those three things. Sheeka turned to Rai with a slight scowl upon the feminine face of his illusion. "Did you really just ask that, Rai!? Ever heard of subtlety?" Sheeka asked, placing his hands on his hips. He maintained the illusion, even through his mild annoyance - if there was suddenly a young boy standing where a young girl might have just been - in different clothes then...that would be kind of confusing.

That was the whole reason for a stunt double after all or at least that was his opinion. He was sure it was good money for those who actually did stunt doubling after all but it was just to protect the actors. He didn't see the point to it unless the actor actually did it themselves. On top of that why did they have to be filming out in the middle of Namimori when he needed to get to work. He had already decided a few minutes wouldn't hurt but it was still slightly annoying. He'd have to find another route just so he could get to work relatively on time. He had been paying attention to what was going on on the set, which wasn't being very exciting at all. He noticed though when the director pulled out his microphone to yell at someone who had been up on the telephone pole. He seemed to lose his concentration and fell down from the pole, which made a look of surprise come upon his face. The surprise didn't leave at all though especially when he got up like he hadn't just fallen from a telephone pole like he had. There were some pretty sturdy people around this town that was for sure. His eyes lingered back to the movie set when he hard the sound of a motorcycle revving up and watched the scene begin. It wasn't nearly as exciting as he had expected it to be but his sister and her friend were certainly impressed. It only really made since to him that they would be impressed over something like that. The guy who had fell from the telephone pole caught his attention again as he walked past the scene being performed. Dodging being seen by the camera and making sure he didn't get himself hit by the stunt double. It wasn't until the kid in particular got closer to him that he recognized him as someone from his class. He wasn't there all too often and that usually pissed the teacher off. She wasn't a very happy camper when this guy and one other one wasn't at school. It was a pain to him because she'd ruin his naps sometimes besides the reason that she woke him up for sleeping in class. A girl who he realized had been standing by the telephone pole when the kid from his class fell decided to show up near him too. It wasn't suspicious to him as they were probably just standing by him to pay attention to the movie scene, which was taking a break now. Hachi wasn't suspicious until the darker hair male decided to ask a strange question. He had said hi to him which hadn't been weird but then he went on to say that it was a random totally unplanned meeting that they had there. That just made him tilt his head to the side slightly and then he went on to ask if he had super powers. Super powers? What was this kid on? The girl who seemed vaguely familiar to him asked him if he really just asked that addressing him as Rai and asked if he had ever heard of subtly. It was clear that he hadn't but he wasn't sure what there was to be subtle about. Maybe it was because of the question about whether he had super powers or not. "I hope you understand that you are pretty weird, dude." Hachi said to Rai first. "And, uh, last time I checked I don't have super powers?" He continued answering his question about having super powers. 621 words ♠ Rai&Sheeks&Bunshi ♠ Hachi is like wut
