[Normally, Taako is absolutely the sort of person who likes making sure everyone can see how good he's looking, if he's on the network, but things are Different today.]

So uh, hey, is anyone else fucking blind? Cause I'll put up with a lot of horseshit from this place but I'm drawing a line in the sand at taking my eyesight, I've got crap to do and like, I dunno about the rest of you dipshits but I need to see to do my job. There's no way I'm gonna keep burning spell slots on arcane eye or whatever.

[He's doing his best to sound chill about this but honestly, it sucks and it's a little troubling.]

Can someone hurry the fuck up and figure this out? Or at least recommend me fucking audiobooks or something, I guess? That's the level I'm sinking to here, audio-only media. This place is stupid as hell.

[Annnnd with that, he cuts the feed.]

perma all those things

[spellslots]

Nah this is like a fun prank, gotcha.

[said lightly, because he's frustrated but that isn't Cisco's fault.]

I tried using my transmutation stone and a bunch of dispelling magic but it did fucking nothing.

[franciscoramon]

Any clues what caused it?

[ He's concerned for Taako, but also wants to highkey avoid repeating his mistakes. If only one of them is sightless for a while, at least Cisco can help him, probably. If they both ended up that way, it would just be double the misery. ]

Did you try blinking? The spell, not... y'know. I just mean maybe you'll have more luck on the ethereal plane.

[ Since he doesn't have physical eyes there, probably. Probably? Cisco's still working on getting the whole plane thing. ]

[spellslots]

Apparently it's something called the Guardian of the Deep? Gramarye's dealing with it, but who knows how long that's gonna take, seems like it's just a luck thing.

[There's even a temporary solution, but it's a stupid one.]

Nah, ethereal plane doesn't work. If I yeet myself outta my body that works, but then I can't touch shit.

[franciscoramon]

Whaaaat? But you're the luckiest guy I know!

[ Or, his tone suggests, the exact opposite of that. It does seem like Taako gets the short end of the stick on these sorts of things a lot of the time. Guardians of the Deep. Cisco will keep an ear out about them. At least this sounds like it's not the result of some bored warlock dicking around... ]

Yeah, going disembodied is hardly going to help you when you're baking.

[ If Caitlin were here, the two of them might be able to come up with some kind of solution together, but... Cisco doesn't know a whole lot about how eyes work, and besides, it sounds like this comes from magic, and tech might be pointless even if he did come up with something. ]

Never really been a big audiobook guy but I bet they've got a ton of shit at the library. I can swing by there if you want.

[spellslots]

[Taako laughs, but it very much matches Cisco's tone on that comment.]

I mean, unless some dipshit is gonna let me possess them until this is over.

[Even then, that's a limited time spell and he can't constantly cast it, so regardless of whether someone would offer, it's not a long term solution.]

Isn't all the shit from the library online? You don't have to go outta your way.
