Thirty-third Flame-[Voice]

[Don't mind him, he just sounds a liiittle panicky and he's mumbling to himself at first.]

First Takuya, then Koichi, then Guilmon and Takato on the same day and then Kari disappeared and I thought they sent her home but she's here but--[Here his voice gets a little louder, and he's addressing the public.]

Okay, I need the best way to wake somebody up. Now.

Big bucket of ice water? Just be prepared to apologize afterward. Or to run.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

She's my little sister, I'm not sure I can do that.

You don't go around dumping buckets of water on people a lot, do you?

[all7seas]

Sorta depends on how drunk they are, lad. She's not...she didn't have more than was good for her at Good Spirits, did she?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

She's not drunk. She's nine.

[all7seas]

[Ignoring this, because he's sort of misheard everything. And of course is still recovering from desert-induced madness.]

Yes, if she's had quite a lot of wine then she could be drunk. Now what you'll want to do is make sure she drinks plenty of water when she does awaken, boy. Keeps it less messy, like.

[Thanks a lot, Jack :|]

What's water going to do to help?

[all7seas]

...

Let's just say it'll help everything come out all right. Now: you might also want to look into making her a bit of toast, savvy? And it won't hurt to pour out a small glass of whiskey for her, too. Ease her into consciousness after you douse her with the water.

[Jack gives the best advice EVER.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...she's nine! I'm not giving my nine-year-old sister whiskey!

But the rest of that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[all7seas]

Well, lad, I'm a bit disappointed in you in letting such a young child drink that much wine! Should be ashamed, you.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...but I didn't--oh forget it. I didn't do it.

[all7seas]

The youth today--

[Just sort of on some kind of weird hypocritical soapbox now.]

The youth today got no sense of propriety.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What's propriety?

[all7seas]

Propriety is that thing you ignore when you go about serving wine to nine-year-old girls, or when you neglect to wear breeches, or when you break into the pie shop.

...

Other people. When other people who aren't me at all break into the pie shop.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I thought that was your conscience.

Who broke into a pie shop, and why didn't I know about it?

[all7seas]

Nah--conscience is what tells you right from wrong, eh? Best to ignore that one. No, propriety is what's proper, and certain things just aren't accepted by Proper Persons.

The identities of the dashing and heroic band of gentlemen-thieves has not yet come to light, though there has been talk of punishing them quite severely...

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes enough sense. Somehow.

Why would you punish somebody for pie though?

[all7seas]

I am not sure about that, lad; it seems that some folk around Luceti frown upon petty crimes. What else are we meant to do when it's near impossible to commit regular crimes?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Since everybody's constantly on watch, nothing. This goes back to you hating heroes or whatever, doesn't it?

[all7seas]

I don't hate heroes, lad. Important point, there. Probably wouldn't be standing here before you if I hadn't run into a few heroes along the way, as it were. Bloody bastards can't get out of their own WAY as a rule, but that don't mean I hate 'em.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Just how many heroes have you crossed paths with anyway?

[all7seas]

Too many. Far too many.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You mentioned a guy named Will last time. Who is he?

[all7seas]

Will Turner is Captain of a legendary ship, the Flyin' Dutchman. He's yay big, is obsessed with swords, and can be talked into almost anything. Typical hero, really.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

He's a hero and he's a pirate? [Does not compute suddenly.]

[all7seas]

Aye. And a good man. Just a bit on the stupid side is all, at times.
