Twenty-Third Flame-[Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Today, instead of being in school like he probably should be, Taichi's standing outside by the side wall of House 48 with a few buckets of paint at his feet and a paintbrush in his hand. Currently he's putting on the finishing touches of what looks like an orange dinosaur in armor on the wall next to a few symbols that were already there. As soon as he's finished with the dinosaur he's going to be rinsing out his brush and start on a small white cat with huge greenish gloves and a purple-striped tail. Granted the paintings are a little messy since he's not an artist, but it's the effort that counts.

What will you do?]

[Sup there bffl, in thinking you're absent at school, we're wandering around the house and then outside, figuring no one would notice. ...Until we nearly run into you and kind of make some comical flailing gestures.]

Taich-- ... [Glances at the sky, then at the pictures, then at Tai.] ... What're you doing?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Lalala being an artist~] Painting.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

... Isn't there school today?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Haven't you heard of independent study?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

... You're skipping class.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No, I'm expressing my artistically creative license. [...Taichi what the hell are you talking about.]

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...Your what? Tai seriously, I'm your best friend. I don't care that you're skipping class. [We're just endlessly happy to be outside.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I think Raine's gonna kill me when she figures out I skipped just to paint.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

So tell her you were helping me catch up. One day can't hurt.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I was gonna try to use you as an excuse anyway.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Laughs, wincing slightly.] Gee, thanks.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Nice to see you trying to sneak out while we're all supposed to be gone.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Scrunches his face up a little.] Fresh air isn't going to kill me, Taichi.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Shut it, that's not what I mean. How's your chest?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

With the way you all act, you'd think I was tight-rope walking blind-folded or something. Still hurts some if I move certain ways, but I think they're mostly healed.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Cool, that means you can start coming to school with me and making it more fun.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

Joy of joys.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I need to practice my paper airplane-building skills anyway.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...that's not the point of school, you know.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No but it's more entertaining.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...'s kind of disrespectful to Raine, though. [No, we haven't quietly grown fond of her over the past few weeks, really. You're imagining things.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...is it? I'm still listening, I'm just doing other things too.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...making paper airplanes while she's trying to teach isn't a good way of proving you're listening. Plus you could be distracting other people.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah but I listen better that way.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...try something less disruptive?
