Thirty-First Flame-[Action and Voiceish]

[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?]

...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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.]

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.]

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Something like that, yeah.

I guess that could be fun for a little while.

Besides, it's just us three in the house now. It's weird here.

So how come Takato and Takuya and Koichi and everyone don't just move into the house with us?

Because they already moved into the apartment?

That just means their stuff's already packed!

Takato was unpacking last week when I went to go look at the building.
