Thirty-Second Flame-[Voice]

[...there's a bit of a pause, but there's the sounds of rummaging and a pen tapping on the table nearby. He's heard and seen a lot of people around now that have been talking about the closed space, and it's intrigued him. After all, the SOS Brigade is looking for mysteries of the world, right? Partially. With Haruki gone though, who's going to solve this mystery? Taichi is currently plotting and sitting inside the Brigade Clubroom. This may end horribly.]

Hey, listen up! Anybody who disappeared to that weird place a few days ago, report to me immediately in the SOS Brigade room. I want to ask you a few questions about it.

In addition, even with Haruki gone...a few of our other members out of commission for now, we're still having a meeting! Be on time, or there will be punishments! [Yes, he did just bypass Rena and Usagi as taking over the meetings. You have a power-tripping 12 year old. WHAT WILL YOU DO?]

[[ooc: IN ADDITION. If anybody would actually like to run this like a fail!Brigade meeting, I can comment onto this entry to signify the start of the meeting and people can thread with each other and whathaveyou. Let me know if y'all want that as an option.]

His stuff's still here, but nobody's seen him since everyone came back from that place. Why?

[Voice]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

[Because Haruki is unique.]

I'll be there.

[He sounds a little confused at the abrupt change, but he's satisfied that his plan's working.]

See you soon.

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

[And he'll be there soon. He doesn't sit. He's no Brigade member, so he'll be standing along the sidelines.]

[Action]

[Here, Tir can watch as Taichi flits around the Brigade room with lists and writing on the white board. Meeting hasn't started yet, but he's getting ready anyway. Give him a bit before he stops and spots him standing there.]

...hey. You're that guy I was just talking to?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

That's right. My name is Tir.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I'm Taichi. Thanks for dropping by. [He's going to go back to the chief's desk and writing Tir's name on a piece of paper.] So what exactly can you tell me about everything that happened while you guys were gone?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

You're likely to hear the same thing from everyone else as me. I have a question for you though. The people that were there... how many did you know?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Probably, but everybody has different experiences. Or something. [He stops though because hey, this is his investigation, not the other way around.] From the sounds of it? About half of them or so. Why?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

Do you think there was anyone that knew everyone there?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...[Busy looking at his lists. Then back at Tir. Back and forth for a bit before he shrugs.] I guess it's possible. But there are some people here that have been around for a long time, eventually they're going to know almost everybody.

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

You have a list of people that were there so far, right?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I started making it when people started coming back. Why?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

Can I see it? [There's only one name on it he'll recognize.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah sure. [So far his list only consists of Haruki, Minato, Alice, Tir, Vash, and the other Brigade members that he knows for sure were gone, along with a few other little scribbles.] Looking for something in particular?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

[Tir inspects it, just in case. Eventually his finger settles on Haruki's name.]

That's the only person there that I knew.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Give him a second as he looks at the list, taking it back from Tir and separating the list into Brigade members and then everybody else. Haruki's name is at the bottom though in the center of the two lists.]

So what are you saying?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

There's a common link somewhere. If you want to figure out what happened and why... that's what you need to look for.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You mean Haruki. [That's the only common thing he sees here.]

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

I only met him once. It could be nothing. [But the implication is that you won't know until you dig deeper.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I guess it's something to consider. [Oh yeah, he's definitely going to look into this whenever Haruki comes back.] Is there anything else you can tell me about it?

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

[Yes. But nothing he cares to share.]

There's not much I remember, sorry.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[And no one was the wiser.]

That's okay. That helped a lot, actually.

[Action]

[myruneatemydad.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

I'll stick around. Just a little longer.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Probably a good idea. Thanks a lot, Tir.
