Thirty-sixth Flame-[Voice/Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Creepy buildings and awkward costumes aside, Taichi was actually kind of amazed at the changes Luceti had been going under. That is...until he woke up one morning and discovered his own change. No, no way, not happening.]

Man, I'm pretty sure I said I'd never wear one of these. [And so, villagers passing through the main part of town may see a small child with large hair walking awkwardly wearing a giant crab costume. Careful, he may pinch. He's either on his way to Raine's, or he's on his way to hide in the Brigade clubhouse. He's not entirely sure yet.]

[Terra has done her share of sight-seeing; now it's time for a few errands. She's on her way to the store, also dressed somewhat differently (http://www.moonlessgarden.net/Cosplay/DoneImages/moogle01.jpg), when the crab catches her attention. Curious, she automatically peers over for a better look.]

[The first thing that catches his attention from the corner of his eye is the red pompom. Then he gets a closer look at just who's wearing the costume.] Hey! Terra, right?

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[She nods, then perks up when recognizing him as well.]

That's right! Hello again. I wondered who might be in that costume.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind him approaching then, though a bit slowly because the crab costume's still awkward to walk in.] Just me. Would you believe me if I said I woke up like this?

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[At least she doesn't laugh at him? Terra looks more sympathetic than amused.]

Oh, I do. I was like this the moment I stepped outside.

Have you been able to take it off at all?

[He's already hiding out in the Brigade building... planning his next move. While dressed like this. Maybe he could just teleport into all the stores.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[And he's going to burst into the Brigade building...and just stare.]

...you too, huh?

[bamfing]

[He glances over. Wow... and he thought he had it bad.]

Yeah... guess I shouldn't be complaining about it though, huh? [It could be WORSE.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Hey man, he kind of feels bad for you too though.]

To be honest, I can't decide which one's worse. You woke up like that?

[bamfing]

[He feels bad for the both of us!]

No. It just... appeared on me when I left my room.

[Tia doesn't look much different than she usually does, but she stops at the sight of the crab costume.]

Getting in touch wit' de seas?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[That's not fair :( Taichi just makes a face and shrugs.]

I don't think I really get a choice in that one.

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

Dat is often de case with matters such as this.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't happen to know a way around it to fix it, would you?

[andallaretrue.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.]

I do not.

[ Well this kid thinks it looks neat. He's been hopping about in his Kim-un-kur (http://www.partypants.co.uk/fancy-dress-site-images/indian-boy-native-american.jpg) costume, enjoying the new feathers in his hair and the beads that keep hitting off his ears. He grins at Taichi. ]

Hey, you, too! There's a lot of people dressed up, huh?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[What the hell that is adorable. Taichi just blinks in surprise at the sheer enthusiasm though.]

Yeah, but not a lot of people seem too happy about it. You're okay with your costume?

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It reminds me of being home. I think it's neat, too.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Why does it remind you of home?

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I have a friend from home whose people dress like this. I always thought the beads were really cool!

[Should he make his way over to Raine's, he'll see that she's in an odd looking outfit of her own. In any case, seeing him dressed as a crab does make her double-take. Of all the things...]

That... brings back memories.

[action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Maybe they really do spy on us. [He blinks at her outfit though.] I don't get it, Raine.

[wise_maiden]

... No, I suppose you wouldn't. It's a dancer's costume, though it was meant for a ritual. I'm honestly surprised that I ended up with it. It doesn't really seem to fit the holiday.

[action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Like a crab does? I don't think any of these are supposed to really make sense.

[wise_maiden]

At least that we can link to something. Perhaps it would have been more fitting had I ended up a mermaid again. ... But I'm glad I didn't. Of course I could be speaking too soon.
