Tenth Flame-[Voice/Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[as mentioned to a few different people, Taichi has finished building his treehouse in the forest and so today he's lounging around in there pretty pleased with himself. Laying on the floor of his treehouse with his hand dangling out the door, he has his eyes lightly shut]

Sometimes I wonder if it's a good idea knowing the future. Sure a lot of bad stuff happens but I already know that we're going to win. Daisuke gave me a sum-up. But now Izzy's here too and he's older too. What gives? Oh well, at least I know I'm still the leader!

And at least I don't have to worry if I get into a good high school or not. And I definitely don't have to worry about looking stupid in the school uniform haha. I wonder if future-me has a girlfriend...I bet I get one before Yamato! Girls love athletes instead of stupid harmonicas.

Seeing Izzy here makes me sort of miss being home though. It's an improvement of the Digital World, that's for sure. Here we don't have to worry about making camp and where our next meal's coming from and running away from giant monsters. But...let's see. If it's May already, and I was at camp in August, and I got here right as I was leaving the Digital World in Earth's time frame of August, then that means I've been away from home for ten months? No wait, that's not right. Man this whole time thing's completely out of whack, why can't time just be normal?!

Maybe my friends don't even notice I'm gone. The other Chosen will, they have to, but my school friends and the soccer club, I wonder if they do. And Mom and Dad, they've got to still be worried about me and 'Kari especially since we didn't come home from the Digital World.

But I guess there's really no need to worry about it...I'm sure the others are doing just fine. Izzy said they were...they're capable of taking care of themselves. Maybe the Malnosso will bring everybody else in. I hope not, because that would kind of suck, but then at least we'd be together and could work on getting out of here. Oh well. For now, I'll just enjoy the sun while it's around.

At least that's the same as home.

[[ooc: just as a small clarification, Taichi's referred to Koushiro as Koushiro to other people out of respect for his friend but when it's just him talking to himself/actually to the redhead he'll refer to him as Izzy as a sign of friendship. Same concept of people referring to him as Tai versus Taichi the more they know him.]]

...Future-Tai would totally have a girlfriend, duh! I mean look at you, a full on member of the SOS-Brigade at your age?!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I should ask Koushiro next time I see him. I bet I do though, how could I not?

[ooc: faaaaauck I was gonna tag Haruki's post and got distracted D:]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Totally. Any idea who it might be now?

Sometimes I wonder if it's a good idea knowing the future.

To know the future is to be trapped by it.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

Exactly that. Observing the future, you force that possibility to come true. Your observation effects your timeline.

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

In my experience, it's never as simple as "knowing" the future.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Then what exactly is it?

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

Depends on the world. If we're referring to prophecy, I can't really say all that much about it, but I'd assume it would be along the lines of self-fulfillment, as in knowing the future leads directly to it happening.

And then there's my world... where you can "know" the future by having been there before.

[emp3thy]

Someone you know arrived?

[voice]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he's not how I remembered him. He's older but at least he's here.

[voice]

[emp3thy]

How much older?

[action]

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

Taichi-san!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[opens his eyes and looks down at Aegis on the ground. sup] Oh. Hi, Aegis.

[SON, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO.]

What is this?

[Since Raine's recently returned to the village, she's just conveniently taking a walk in this particular area]

Sounds like you've been doing a lot of thinking.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess so. [rolls over a little and leans out the treehouse door so he can see Raine better] Are you just getting back?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Yes, pretty much so.

So this is your treehouse. You've certainly been working hard, Taichi.

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[Poofy, you talk way too much.

Ammy's gonna be hanging around at the base of the tree, staring up and wondering if she can jump up there.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...[and in his lounging state, Taichi gets the strange feeling of being watched, so he's gonna open his eyes and look down] Ammy!

Want up?

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[Yes! So she leans back on her hind legs a little as she gives a light bark.]

[zanarkand-kid.livejournal.com]

I guess it all depends on what the future is. I'm actually... pretty glad I know what happens. It means, maybe I can plan stuff out so it doesn't go that way. Besides, some of it's pretty relieving, too.

Haha, being an athlete definitely has its perks, let me tell you! Especially when you become professional.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Our future turns out to be a good one after a bunch of bad stuff happens...I'd like to avoid some of it but I mean, I shouldn't because of what it leads to. It's too complicated.

Yeah? Are you a professional back in your world, Tidus?

[digitalchampion.livejournal.com]

It should be noted that time passes differently in the Digital World as compared to the real world - or, at least it did the first time we were sent there. So, it's entirely possible (and highly likely) that it moves differently here, as well. After all, considering it pulls people from different times...

The point being, you probably shouldn't worry too much about the passage of time, considering it will likely have been only minutes, hours, or days since your departure from the 'real' world.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

According to a few different people, while we're here, time doesn't even move at all back home unlike when it moved one minute for every year we spent in the Digital World. It's just a big mess.

Well think about it, Izzy. If we were gone from Earth and the Digital World and those two synched up right when we were leaving, and now I'm here, wouldn't time still be moving?
