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.

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

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.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...stupid how?

[all7seas]

Well do you have an hour or so, lad? Stupid how? I suppose it all boils down to the fact that he never suspects people he calls friends of double-crossing him. When, in all honestly, those are usually the people who do such things.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

So what, he trusts people too easily? The world's not as full of double-crossers as some people make it out to be.

[all7seas]

Trusts to the point of death. Numerous, multiple times. Yet the ladies love him, don't they? Explain THAT one to me!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Most girls love heroes. There's no explanation to it.

Whoa, he's died multiple times?

[all7seas]

No, lad--point of death. Very different than actual death. Always spins on his heel at the point of death and sallies off to meet death at another, separate point.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What's the point of that? [He thinks he gets it, but he wants to make sure.]

[all7seas]

Well now we're right back to where we started: stupid, lad. He's stupid.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he kind of sounds it now that you put it that way. But brave anyway.
