Thirty-First Flame-[Action and Voiceish]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Even though it's Saturday, Taichi's sitting out in front of the school with several of the maps of the village that he took from the welcome center. He has his journal open, but he seems to be hard at work instead with a blue marker in his hand, hovering over some of the maps and marking them with lines and circles. He also has placed three pebbles on each of the maps to move them around in the paths he's creating.

He should be doing Brigade stuff, but this is clearly more important. After a bit, he crumples up the map he's currently working on and tosses it into the slowly-growing pile next to him.]

Man. When the heck did the village get to be so big? [Annnd back to another map to try plan B. Come bother him?]

[TAICHI. Person in charge of interesting things! You are being interesting today and Daisuke would like to partake in it. Or maybe it's just that Molly was in the area a minute ago and he was trying to nonchalantly follow her around and got distracted. Either way, Taichi's drawing stuff that makes no sense to Daisuke, so he'll be interpreting it as he sees fit.] Are you diagramming plays already? The season hasn't even started yet! -- Should I be working on some too?

[HOLY STARTLING, DAISUKE. He doesn't doubt Daisuke has ulterior motives but whatever, let him bask in his awesome.] What? No. I mean I am, but that's not what this is. These are something different, and actually I'm glad you showed up. I want to ask you something.

[HE'S STEALTHY. Like Batman on a pogo stick. But certainly! Daisuke is always available to ego-stroke his favorite upperclassman! :D Especially because Taichi's glad to see him~! brb preening.] Sure!! Ask me what? I'll be happy to lend my expert opinion!

[I love that description, I really do. Taichi's going to pretend he doesn't notice how thrilled Daisuke is.] How do you feel about moving out of our house?

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

[It's the only description that fits. Except now Taichi's said that, and Daisuke is abruptly filled with WOE.] --Is this about how I never wash dishes? Or how I don't always aim well in the bathroom? Or how I sound when i'm bored and make up songs? Or how I pick the lint between my toes on the living room couch? 'Cause I can change ALL THAT STUFF if you need me to! Don't kick me out, Taichi -- I can chaaaaaaaaange!!!

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...what? I mean yeah, that'd be cool because watching you pick at the lint's really gross, but that's not what I meant.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Well. That's kind of awkward, then.] So what did you mean?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

We're thinking about moving out of the house and into one of the apartment buildings in the village. A lot of people I know live in them, Raine suggested we do it.

[Awwww man. ET TU, TAICHI?]

... Yeah, I heard about how a bunch of people wanted to keep a better eye on us kids that way. You want to have a bedtime again?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No, of course I don't. You should know that, I'm good with following my own rules. But I'm thinking of Kari.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

We can take care of Hikari just fine all by ourselves.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

She said she doesn't care where we move to. We have to think of what's best for her.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

What can they do for her that we can't?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

It's been really rainy lately. If she gets sick...[That is to say, he has more underlying motivations but that's a major point.]

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

If she gets sick, the clinic's like right there. They can give her some cough syrup and she can lie down in bed for a while. [Spoiled baby brother is missing the point entirely.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Haruki says we can't trust the clinic. I'd take her to Raine first.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

Raine would just give her a hug and some candy 'r something. [Annnd train of thought derailed] HEY, wanna go see if Raine's got something to snack on?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Dude, pay attention! And anyway I'm not in the mood for lemon-flavors today.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine so you wanna move us all in with some old folks so someone'll babysit Kari.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Dude, no. We'd be in the same building as Takuya and Takato and Guilmon and Takuya's friend.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

Oh hey they're all really cool. [Okay, now he's listening.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and it's closer to the center of town than where we are now so getting food and stuff will be tons easier. Besides, I have a feeling Raine won't drop the subject until we move.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

So it'd be like a big sleepover with everyone closeby?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Something like that, yeah.

[Action]

[soccerfanboy.livejournal.com]

I guess that could be fun for a little while.
