He’d stalked in with hopes of getting an ice cream at a discounted price, but the convenience store seems busy– everyone had the same idea as him, huh?So, Taichi sits back near the freezers, pondering the perfect choice of snack while the customers are worked with. There’s only so much fun the displays contain before his attention’s been sapped dry and he turns an ear towards the counter, listening to Miyako’s transactions in particular. For someone he’d always put on par with his best friend, they sure are different. Koushiro’s good with people in his own way, but Taichi can’t deny the homey charm Miyako is able to present complete strangers with. It’s not like it feels fake, either… The thought brings him a feeling of peace. This is his sister’s teammate, after all.When he walks up to the now customer-cleared counter, he passes over his choice of ice cream with a grin that feels mildly out of place. “I’ve been called charismatic before, but I might not be able to hold a candle to you, Miyako. I haven’t burned out yet, though– I’ll take you on sometime! But, for now… How ‘bout a price cut, huh?”

“I don’t know what you guys are talking about! Why don’t you just check it out for yourselves next time you see her, huh?”It’d more or less gone like that– what was it with the guys on the team constantly being enthralled with the girls in Taichi’s life, anyway?! If it wasn’t Hikari, it’d be about Sora, about Mimi, and then Haruka; at least, that’s how it was going as of late. He grumbles to himself, bag thrown over his shoulder, walking past the school gate. What had they been saying this time? The poet of the team mentioned something about the picturesque way her bangs would frame around her eyes, or something, right? Gah, Taichi could hardly believe he’d said something like that without flinching immediately after… Maybe they were becoming too close, he and his teammates…His stare is too furrowed, damn near piercing the floor– and that’s why he almost walks into her. “Whoa! Haruka– man, are you trying to get a concussion? I’m not called hard-headed just because I’m stubborn, you kn–” Oh. Poet-teammate-kun is right. “Wow. So, there is a reason there’s pick up lines like that.” What was it? Do you have a map?; I got lost in your eyes? He looks at her, straight-faced, heat slowly creeping onto his cheeks, wondering if there’s one about being lost at sea– before he reaches to pinch her cheek. “Why the heck did he point it out?” He feels a twinge of annoyance, and he lets go. “Let’s go home. …Hey, have you been hanging out with the guys in my club, lately?”

–At first, Taichi thinks he’s imagining it, but he pulls his lackluster focus from his homework to rest his chin on his hand and divert it over to Erika. He’s not sure what she’s reading, and the cover’s tilted down too far for him to see the title, but that’s definitely– a smile.

She gives him that impression– the one of throwing her all into whatever subject she’s ingrained in at the time, but it’s something like this that makes him realize the extent of her dedication; after all, he can’t say he manages to pull amusement from her so easily, right? “I don’t think books can really appreciate that. If you’re gonna smile, why not at your company, huh?”Eh– but maybe he should have appreciated it a bit more before saying anything at all. “Wait– like, over here! DON’T LOSE IT. What’s one plus one? NII~.” Maybe he’s lost the moment, and his own forced smile, index fingers pressing into his cheeks on either side, probably isn’t doing to help recall it. So, Taichi sighs. “Aw, come on! It was really cute, too!”

Mild tantrums work from time to time– so, maybe…

“You’ve got quite the creative streak, don’t ‘cha, Hikari?”

He’s picking up her camera gingerly, his finger gliding over the buttons, never messing with whatever settings she’s left it on; but Taichi’s gaze is more drawn out towards a picture on his desk– one of her own captures. It’s just that– a capture of a moment in time that leaves him in wonder every time he takes a moment to look over it, pulling thoughts from him he wouldn’t otherwise call on. “I mean, I guess you always have… Hey, I’ve definitely noticed before, but…!”Taichi is still in a bit of a post-sleep stupor, and his hair is at its wildest to prove it. He rubs at his eye with a sleeved hand as he sets her camera back down, looking out towards her with an apologetic grin. “What I meant was– the alarm reminded me of your whistle, a little while ago. If you asked me back in the day, you bet I woulda called it annoying after being woken up with it all those times! But, you know, it’s not like that’s all you used it for. Do you remember? There was a point where I could pretty much translate anything you meant to say, down to the way you wanted your eggs cooked. And I think that had less to do with me and more to do with the way you went about it.“Definitely a weird choice for a first instrument, but even then, you didn’t really use it any way a manual would have instructed someone to, huh? That’s kinda special in itself. In fact, I’d say that’s the greatest creative– the outside-the-box creative. Super cool. “– That’s not an invitation to bring the alarm-whistle back, though, got that? …Oh, MAN, IS THAT THE TIME? I’M GONNA BE LATE–”

It’s a good thing he already set down his sister’s precious camera.

“But in order for that to work, I’d need about two more people and the perfect victim. How should I go about this...?” Until the right people make an appearance, he’ll start by scribbling down some names onto a sheet of paper and organizing a makeshift dart board of sorts.

The “dinosaur bones” that you see on display at the Museum aren’t really bones at all. Through the process of fossilization, ancient animal bones are turned into rock. 

Most ancient animals never became fossils. Their carcasses were likely consumed by other organisms, or worn away by wind or water. But sometimes the conditions were right and their remains were preserved. The most common process of fossilization happens when an animal is buried by sediment, such as sand or silt, shortly after it dies. Its bones are protected from rotting by layers of sediment. As its body decomposes all the fleshy parts wear away and only the hard parts, like bones, teeth, and horns, are left behind. Over millions of years, water in the nearby rocks surrounds these hard parts, and minerals in the water replace them, bit by bit. When the minerals have completely replaced the organic tissue, what’s left is a solid rock copy of the original specimen.

Burning Courage

Long Hair, enough for a sexy bunt, and Mimi Know XD

[ taichi yagami ] ↳ I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

I still have quite a few replies left [and many more memes], but finally some progress after some time of none! I’ll try to hop on Ruki soon! I have work at odd hours ‘til Thursday, but I might be able to find some more time from here ‘til then! THANKS FOR THE PATIENCE! In the meantime, hmu for plots on either Taichi or Ruki OR if you’re watching THE LOST VILLAGE; KIZNAIVER; BIG ORDER; OR RE: ZERO PLS.

“It’s fine if you wanna walk off those burritos we choked down, but you just gotta stay as alert as me in case anyone’s coming by us, okay, Agumon?” Tensions were only on the rise with the citizens of Odaiba and Digimon with the latest encounters of infected digital monsters and, if anything, conditions like these called more and more for Agumon’s constant concealment. Still-- there wasn’t anyone around as far as Taichi could see for now, and the little guy had just stuffed his face silly with all of the food that restaurant had to offer… Getting him fed discreetly was an adventure on its own, and after being cooped up for so long, Taichi couldn’t help but want to offer him a bit of fresh air. They’d just have to be careful! --Of course, not two minutes after he warned his tiny dinosaur partner passed before they made their first error. They’d both been looking in the same direction and failed to see the girl coming up along their left. “Ack! Taichi!” Agumon’s head swiveled to blink up at Tai, who shook his head furiously in return, haphazardly stepping in front of him so as to obscure the girl’s potential vision of him. “Agumon, you dork!” Taichi hissed under his breath, “What happened to your fast action, huh?!” Not waiting for an answer, the brunette turned to address the girl sheepishly. “Yo! Ha--ha--how are ya?!”

“That’s very true, and what would you do if you had all the freedom in the world, your highness?”

“What’s the point of being considered ‘powerful’ if all you can really do is mope around the castle until they throw you in a Royal Council and ignore everything you say?”

Haruka’s question flies over Taichi’s head as he miserably recounts the last of the duties he’d been subjected to-- until her words reach his ears and he turns to her with a lit up gaze.

“That’s easy-- I’d go on an adventure! One of those crushing soul-searching quests the super strong knights like to do! Rumor has it that’s how the head of the Guard was picked out-- strongest of the strong. The training they give us here can’t compare to that.” He pauses. “Wouldn’t you wanna do that? What would you do?”

♥ Hikari had been quite lost in thought, staring straight up at the clouds lazily floating by. She had intended to focus on finding and regrouping with her brother after his soccer practice, but the boredom had settled in quickly this time around. Her mind didn’t really settle on any one thought, or even any one line of thought. It felt rather nice to just sit peacefully for a moments, without any cares. …and perhaps she was beginning to drift off.

♥ As she was looking up at a small cloud, a foreign object suddenly appeared and grew closer. With her mind far away, it did admittedly take a few seconds for Hikari to work out what she was seeing.

♥ A grin quickly grew on her features, as she relaxed and leant back further to look up at Taichi. One hand gently kept the simple but cute flower crown in place. It was a surprise, but certainly a pleasant one - both to see her older sibling out of practice, and to receive the simple gift. It had to have taken some time to make, and she finally began to realise she must have been sitting for some time.

         “I didn’t plan on being crowned as Royalty today~ It’s lovely, thank you. I can’t remember the last time you made one of these. But you’ve not lost the touch.”

♥ It had to have taken some time to make the flower chain, and she finally began to realise she must have been sitting for some time. “…Did I make you wait for long? I’m sorry.”

Taichi thought she might have realized he was present by the time he finished up his small treat, as Hikari tended to keep mindful of others no matter the circumstances-- even so, he didn’t hasten his finishing touches, instead stitching them up carefully before waddling over on his knees to place the piece in its rightful place. Only after catching the slight surprise in her movements did Taichi realize his sister had still thought him away on training. What a dork. “Starting today, you have to lead your people into the perfect reign! No pressure.” A grin spread across his own features and he lifted his hand again, this time to mess up any part of hair that wasn’t being encircled by the makeshift crown. “I’m glad you think so. It could be my finest work to date.”  He sort of remembered-- at least, the ones he’d intended to finish out in the digital world. Sometimes it was hard to catch some sleep, and falling back into the crafty habit was one of the ways he could find some peace-- of course, none of those had made it back to Odaiba, but.... Their general memory lingered.

Shoving himself up to a proper stand, he rubbed out the grass stains on his knees, quirking an eyebrow at her apology. “Come on, Hikari. You didn’t make me wait as long as I made you wait for me. Which means I win again! You don’t have me beat. Don’t worry.” He hoisted his training bag over his shoulder, and then turned to extend a hand out to her. “You know… I think we still might have some time to stop by the convenience store for snacks before Mom comes home to prep dinner. Wanna make a mad dash for some ice cream? I’ll even get you that ridiculously complex one that pops up every now and again.”
