Fourth Flame-[Voice/Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[well some of the residents in Luceti might notice Taichi standing at the edge of the village, mini-telescope in hand and staring out at the mountains with an excited grin on his face.]

Awesome, today's the perfect day to go out and climb those mountains! [he pockets the telescope and stretches his arms over his head, looking back at the village slightly impatient] As soon as Daisuke and Hikari get here we can go. Hurry up guys, I wanna get going before the sun starts to go down!

Oh and Daisuke, you can bring V-Mon and Hikari, Takeru said he was busy with school and couldn't join us so it looks like it's just the three of us now.

But it might just be me if you guys don't hurry up and get here! Let's go!

[And so, Taichi begins to pace back and forward waiting for his sister and his friend. Anybody passing by in the village is free to talk to him before he leaves on his adventure]

[Hesitant...]

2/2

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Okay so what are you waiting for?!

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

...Huh?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Talk to him now and you won't have to worry about it back at home. [somehow, the entire point went over his head]

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[...and now she is embarrassed.]

...a-and tell him what?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[sorry Aegis, he's more focused on his "genius plan"] Tell him that you love him while you're still here so you can do something about it.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[o taichi. Aegis will now appropriately file this under KEYBOARD BASH]

... ...b-but. I-I'm not a real human girl!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...what?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

I am a machine... ... is it that hard to believe?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...I dunno, Aegis. You seem pretty human to me.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[...suddenly smiles. A lot.]

I do?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Well yeah. Until you just said that I didn't think otherwise.

So what are you, exactly?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

I am an Anti-Shadow Machine, the last one in existance. My purpose was originally to destroy shadows.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

So you mean like a robot?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

Yes. [Aegis pulls down her her jacket at the shoulder to reveal her robo-shoulders.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Huh. Weird, I never would have guessed.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

I wonder if this means I am becoming more human?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Could be. Either way I don't see how not being human would stop you from telling somebody you love them. Not that I know a lot about love anyway, but still.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[...you just opened a can of worms.]

Because I am not human... how can someone love a machine? It is very confusing.

[Pauses.]

I don't see your friends.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Because you're obviously more than a machine. Duh.

[stops walking about halfway up the mountain and looks around to realize Aegis is right]

Huh. Well...this could have gone better.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[Aegis looks around, we are pretty high up there.]

What is on the other side of the mountains?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Dunno. That's why I decided to come up here. [looks over at her and grins] Ready to go find out?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...are you sure though? Some guy told me it could take two days to get over to the desert that's on the other side of these mountains.
