[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.]

[ Any excuse for Clarice to tease him mercilessly, she'll take. ]
Yeah, I noticed. When she's around I can see. Might have to take some time off work while this is happening...
no subject
[That's rich coming from Taako.]
I can kinda work around this shit with magic but uh, yeah, pretty sure they'll give you time off for some stupid creatures fucking with you.
no subject
Sounds legit from a guy that I'm pretty sure tried to pinch my ass the first time we met in person.
[ It's such bullshit, but there's a part of John that isn't mad about the idea of lazing around in bed with Clarice for a few days. There are worse things. ]
You can't magic me some eyes, can you?
no subject
[His truth in which he was high and thought John was hot? Is that a crime? No.]
Afraid not, my man, the best spells I've got for this are both ones that I can only cast on cha boy, you know? The school for this would be divination and I'm not uh, super great on that one.
[He's fine at it, but transmutation followed by evocation are his best.]
no subject
Damn. Well, was worth a shot, I guess. I guess I've just gotta... keep Clarice out of work and in my vicinity for the next however long, huh?
no subject
[Do people get like bonus days off for 'Quarantine bullshit'? He wouldn't know since he's self-employed, but it seems fair.]
no subject
[ Sometimes, he does take the indestructibility thing for granted. ]
Who's helping you see?
no subject
[thats!! a weird sentence!!]
Lup's around for now, I've got a couple dipshits I can annoy.
[Kravitz, Barry, Magnus. Even Lucretia if he gets desperate. Loki would probably be fine with it but Taako isn't sure if that's something he wants to ask.]
no subject
[ What. ]
So it's not just, like. A romantic thing. It's just Clarice for me because I'm not that close to anybody else, you think?
no subject
[At least that's the impression he got.]
no subject
[ He does want his eyes back, but he's not going to start hugging strangers for it. They'll come back. ]
This has a time limit anyway, right? Like everything else around here.
no subject
[Hopefully.]
no subject
[ It's bitter, but not aimed at Taako. It isn't his fault, and John knows it. ]
I hate feeling helpless like this.
no subject
[Which is also bitter tbh, because ideally he wouldnt be used to weird things fucking him up without knowing how long it'll last.]
Hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later cause yeah, I get that feeling.
no subject
[ It'd sound sort of dirty from anyone else, but with John it's just genuine, slightly worried. ]
I feel like I'm constantly being tested.
no subject
[Because he can do both]
I dunno if it's a test or if the portal like, gets off on it, but it's stopped feeling random, that's for sure.
no subject
Do you ever catch a break? Like, the other day it was being turned into my teenage self and having to hide from Clarice until that went away, and now this. I thought I was coming here to like, relax, you know?
[ Like he knows how to do that anyway... ]
private
In my experience it tends to be like, you get a couple months of chill where you can relax, and then everything fucking hits you at once for the next few months.
[It's started to get a little tiring, as much as he tries to push past it all.]
I'll be real with you, this shit right now is fucking fine, I'll take being blind.
[The implication here is that it's better than other things he's had to deal with.]
private
Is it just stuff like this, though? Or is it, I don't know. Stuff that's actually dangerous? Because that, I feel like I can deal with better. I'm used to risking my life, but it's things like this - waking up blind, turning into a kid - that gets to me.
[ It's hard to explain. Maybe because he should brush it off, and he finds that he can't. ]
private
[In his defense, the fight with Thor was supposed to be friendly.]
You had to deal with any of the like-- people getting all up in your memories or dreams? Cause that's super fun.
[it isn't]
private
[ That's every day stuff. Fighting. ]
There was this thing, when I first got here... it was like I was sharing a dream with someone else. It wasn't exactly mine, or memories.
[ He grimaces. ]
Damn, that's invasive. Is there anything we can do to combat this stuff happening?
private
[She shared a dream with Barry, it was strange. Taako is glad he skipped it.]
Considering even the gods here are not immune to it, I think us regular dipshits are thoroughly fucked. Sorry darling.
private
[ It was bad enough that the Frost sisters could play with their heads as it was. ]
Well, was worth a shot to ask you for help, wasn't it?
private
[It's worse when his friends see the bad shit and then he has to live with them knowing.]
Never hurts to ask cause hey, if you're hear when uh... whatever the ghost festival is, when that rolls around if you're having trouble with 'em I can ward your apartment to keep them out.
no subject
[ Because, no to that, please and thank you. ]
