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?]

...'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?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...I dunno, origami?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What's the difference between origami and paper airplanes?!

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

One involves throwing, and one involves a lot more folding.

Plus I bet the kids would love to have an arsenal of paper cranes around the house. Supposedly they're good luck.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...I'm really good at making paper cranes.

Then there y'go. Make all kinds of different colors-- you know dad used to fill up little plastic tree-shaped jars with green ones around Christmas, because neither of us are ever home enough to get a tree.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...dude, Christmas is really soon.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

... [Stares.] Tai, it's not even Halloween.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Whatever it's close enough.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...you have the shortest attention span.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Do not.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

...do so, but I'm not arguing with you on my first day out of the house in weeks.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You shoulda been out here earlier. I saw a really cool butterfly.

... [Really, Taichi? Really.] ... [Brb cracking up laughing. Ow, ribs, but oh god, lol.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Hey shut up, I'm serious!

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Ow ow ow, sitting down and hunching over, but still snickering.] I rest my case, Taichi.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

No attention span whatsoever.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Guess I don't really need one anyway.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Facepalm.]
