Twenty-Sixth Flame-[Voice/Action]

[Taichi's running around Luceti dressed in new winter clothes he received from Raine earlier that day and currently he's going to try and find her to thank her. He's bouncing more than usual and he's also munching on a cookie that tastes distinctly like lemons. Oh well.]

Finally! Happy birthday to me! Take that, Matt, now we're the same age again.

[In other words, Luceti, prepare for a human tornado of boy running around in the snow now that he actually can. He's wanted to run around since discovering Tear got kidnapped, so he's kind of just going. Feel free to bump into him.]

[ooc: Pretend this is backdated to the 20th because I was fail and gone all day. Also, thank you to the awesomely nice anon who renewed Taichi's paid account! I don't know who you are, but ♥!]

It's really popular! You guys don't have Christmas? [Oh hey house. He'll nod at that question.] Okay. Thanks.

No, we don't. From my understanding, there was a certain reasoning behind why the holiday came into existence in your world. My world doesn't follow the same religious structure.

[--But lets not bore the child. She moves to open the door for him.] It'll warm you up a bit.

I don't really know either, I just know it's a big deal in other parts of the world, too. [Heads inside, though he's smart enough to knock the snow off his shoes outside and taking them off so he doesn't track snow/water through Raine's house.] Sounds good.

[Raine does the same for her boots as well, before leading him to the kitchen. She'll have to check on the fireplace, too, but that can wait. Besides, the house seems kind of empty.]

That doesn't surprise me, given how well known it seems to be.

[Following, following]

Do the Malnosso celebrate Christmas?

Some of them probably do. [She gestures for him to sit down while she moves to get the cocoa ready.]

[Takes a seat and just watches Raine prepare the cocoa] So does that mean they'll give us a break and take another vacation too?

I don't know. Last month's "vacation" was unrelated to the Malnosso themselves, after all.

There wasn't an experiment last year, however, so that's something to consider.

Hmm, I guess that's true...did anything happen last year?

Everyone received at least one present, either useful or ... well, mocking in nature. Something else happened as well, but no one can remember what it was.

What do you mean nobody can remember? At all?

It just felt like we had been drugged asleep that whole time. It was exceedingly odd.

Well that doesn't make sense though.

It really doesn't. John said that something "strange" happened, but he didn't really go into detail about it, either. But after that incident was when he began speaking to us on his own.

He hasn't always been here?

No. Well - he's been here, but he didn't officially become a 'traitor' to the Organization until ... well, earlier this year. And even then it took some time before he moved into the tunnels.

[She gets the cups down in the meantime, still waiting for that water to finish boiling.]

Has anybody asked why he became a traitor? Or is that something else he wouldn't even answer in the first place?

Basically, his interests and the general Malnosso's interests had... diverged paths. It's a little different than Jacob's situation.

For now John's interests and ours coincide. But we must keep in mind that this will not always be the case.

What do you mean? He can be a traitor to us too in the future?

It's difficult to explain. Honestly, I'm worried I'm just confusing you with all of these uncertainties. What we need to do is just concern ourselves with the present.

And presently... it is your birthday.

[Yeah he won't admit it, but she is starting to confuse him. So he'll just nod and gladly take the subject change] Yup! I'm finally the same age as Matt!

[It's difficult to give explanations when theory evolves all the time :(]

You're only about a month apart, you know. Did it really seem that long...?

[Taichi appreciates your efforts, Raine =(]

Uh huh, way longer than a month. He beats me at a lot of stuff and he doesn't even notice.

Not everything has to be a competition, you know. [Finally ready. She finishes preparing the drink, adding a little milk, sugar, and cinnamon to it.]

It does between me and Matt. It's always been that way. [Busy watching though.]
