Seventeenth Flame-[Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Taichi's busy running around Luceti with a stack of these fliers, pinning them anywhere he can because well, today seems like a good day to get started with the soccer team and he's bored anyway. After this last experiment seems like people could use a pick-me-up. So, that's what he's doing now, feel free to run into him (or have him literally run into you, whichever) as he's going around advertising]

[ooc: depending on vote, we can either assume that this whole soccer-club thing happened, or I can start a log and anybody can jump in and we'll do it that way, however every/anybody wants to go about it. Also the list is slightly outdated so if I missed anybody who talked to him about it before, sorry!]

[He's focused elsewhere though, so he doesn't notice] Sure, definitely. You were going to be at the field anyway so might as well teach you.

[Nods, breaking off another piece of his tart to chew on and continuing to stare at the flier.] Cool.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It'll be fun...you've never played before at all?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head.] Sports were never really my thing.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I like 'em, but I think it's just because I like running and being active. My mom says it's a good way for me to blow off steam and use pent-up energy or something like that.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

You're the type to always wanna be in motion. I'm usually happy to sit still and watch.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I'm not good at sitting still. I have to keep moving or I'll go crazy or something.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Grins.] You've also got more energy than most people I know. Sometimes just watching you makes me tired.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I haven't been running that much in Luceti.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

I just mean in general. You're always doing something.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I have to.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...don't you get tired, though? I mean you don't have to worry as much here.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah I do...the experiments can be dangerous and now that you and TK and Kari are here, even moreso. Izzy can take care of himself now but still worry about him too. [in other words we're dancing around the subject]

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a little at him.] You don't always have to protect everybody, Tai.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I know but it seems normal doesn't it?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...I guess everybody did kinda get used to it.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah...we all got used to it, even when we were at home. And then we got used to it in the Digital World, so it'd make sense to get used to it here and just make it a normal thing...

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

... [Folds up the bag again and sets it aside, propping himself on the pillow so he can kind of but not-quite lay on his back, wings folding themselves neatly against his shoulder blades.] ...what'll you do when we get home and everybody has their parents again?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[You're pushing buttons man.] I don't know, let them? I'll still be the leader but maybe things will be normal in a different way.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[We kind of realize this. A part of us thinks it'll help. We're probably wrong.] Yeah but I mean... Joe's gonna be going off to middle school, half of us go to different schools anyway...

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[probably a little sharper than we meant it to be] Doesn't matter.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Glances at him.] ...do you think it's wrong... to not really want to go home?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...a few people I know here don't wanna go home because of things that've happened in their world. It's not wrong at all.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...yeah but we just fixed everything. [Rolls onto his side and shuffles the fliers a little.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

So what? Here we've got a make-shift family and a lot of friends.
