[Oh hey, it's Taako, wearing Taako clothes and a pointy hat. Obviously it's Taako.]

I, the great Taako Taaco desire to learn new and exciting languages because I have a need to show everyone how smart I am behind this undeniably gorgeous face. You should teach me all your strange languages, as nothing is beyond my immensely powerful abilities.

[He's grinning, faux fanning himself like he's just too hot for this feed.]

Since I have all of your undivided attention, you must know that all my stunning good looks and amazing magical powers all come from the fact that I have a really small dick.

[And oh hey, it’s Taako again, except this time it’s just his voice off-screen:]

Hey dingus, have you seen my pho... ne..?

[It’s a very telltale trailing off, the way someone who has caught their shitty sister in the act of Pretending To Be Them™ in front of the entire fucking network.]

Gimme it, now.

[There’s a surprised shout and then a lot of cackling as the phone is pulled up and Taako #1 is running off to the other side of the room to get as far away from Taako #2 as possible.]

OH NO, AN IMPOSTOR! Save me! I’m too beautiful and sexy to die!

[Luckily, at least one member of this family remembers they’re a wizard, and the phone is mysteriously plucked from Taako #1’s hand and returned to the real Taako, who turns the phone to face him so everyone can see how done he is.]

What’s up, chucklefucks, I’d like to introduce you to my complete asshole of a sister who I hate more than anything in this world.

[From behind the phone, now;]

RUDE.

Don’t start shit you can’t finish. [He sticks his tongue out in her general direction, then turns his attention back the camera.] I’m for real about the languages thing, I’m bored and wanna learn new shit, she just jacked my idea before I could come ask. Do not believe her about the dick thing, though, that's fake as hell.

[With the alarming sound of encroaching footsteps, Taako quickly shuts off the feed.]

[ooc: Lup = red, Taako = purple. They're both the worst]

That'll show him to do it twice.

[personal profile] burntbridges 2017-07-16 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So, what's your name? I don't think Taako ever mentioned that bit. Do you like cooking as well? Can you do any magic? Are you living with Taako now?
burntbridges: To the unknown (Mischief ☿ And I have broken)

[Shh she'll still fight you.]

What's that phrase people use around here? "Speak of the devil and she shall appear?"
umbrastaff: (1)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Gasp, he didn't mention me by name? What a bastard!

[She's joking, obviously.]

I'm Lup, I like cooking as well, and I'm also a wizard - and of course I'm living with Taako!

Exactly! It's just a lesson in phone privacy.
tutee: (prove it)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-16 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
What a good thing you're doing for him, then.
umbrastaff: (1)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I use a lot of conjuration and transmutation, too! I have Charm Person!

[...and she starts ratting off her non-evocation spells.]

Plus I use a lot of Locate Object to find where Taako hides his favorite clothes.

I'm such a good big sister.
tutee: (oh no)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-16 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you were twins?

Now if only Nathaniel was a demon, I might have the same luck.

[Unfortunately for her, Nathaniel is the polar opposite of a demon... if they somehow summoned him by speaking about him she's sure he'd apologize for the inconvenience.]

Still, I'm happy for you. I know you were missing her a lot, and... I hope she likes me...

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Two minutes, my dude. It still gives me the right to play that card.
tutee: (smiling)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-16 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs. ]

Alright. If you say so.

Lup! I like that - it's so cute.

[Lup and Taako's joking is a little rougher than Letha's used to, but she and her husband trade their own insults so she catches on well enough.]

I don't know how much you've heard about me, but you'll likely be seeing a lot of me - your brother's been teaching me to cook, and I bring him meals from time to time for him to try. And you'll have to be an acting aunt for Istrid. [Which is said with a small, affectionate gesture toward her very pregnant belly.]
umbrastaff: (11)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, I think you're one of the first people who's said it's cute.

[This girl appeared to be a little different from the people Taako usually made friends with. She seemed sweet.]

Oh, another cook-in-training? I'll have to see if he's a good a teacher as he is a cook.

[Oooh, baby! She... doesn't know how to baby, but she can definitely be the cool aunt.]

Oh hey, congrats!

Thank you - don't listen to Taako, by the way, he gets overprotective over me when it comes to the pregnancy.

[Maybe because when Letha came here she didn't look like a walking corpse or pass out randomly... but that's completely beside the point. Clearly Taako knows nothing.]

If you like muffin tops, I can bring you some later to try - I'm rather proud of how well I can make them.
umbrastaff: (4)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's kind of interesting to hear, honestly. It's not like they were around a lot of pregnant women back home, and she... she couldn't have that.

Not that she wanted to.]


Oh fuck yes, please do!

[She almost said 'you already have a muffin top there' but decides she doesn't know this gal enough to poke that kind of fun. Plus pregnant gals could be moody.]
imperceptus: i go hunting for someone like you (i tell you i've got my secrets too)

[personal profile] imperceptus 2017-07-16 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not with the tentacles, I hope.

[ A JOKE ... But he does know that spell--that kind of grisly thing was a favorite in the Sorcere. ]
imperceptus: feels like you're okay (does it fill the space)

[personal profile] imperceptus 2017-07-16 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly a master of the genre.

[ He's a bit surprised at the invitation, but quick enough on the draw to make it seem as though he expected it; as though wanting to spend time with him was just a matter of course. ]

Sure. You should really let me mix you something, though--I promise to let you vet all of the ingredients.

If you learn Latin, Italian will be easier because it's the root language. Greek might be hard though.

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true!
umbrastaff: (4)

poor Rin, such a lovely elf among these trash ones

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smirks, taking the so-called mastery proudly.

His offer makes her curious, though, and she leans forward a bit to the phone... as if that would help her.]


Really? Well, if I cook you can make the drinks. Snacks and booze, baby!
tutee: (relief)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-16 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! I'll believe you. I don't have any sisters or brothers, so what do I know?
umbrastaff: (8)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Gasp, you poor soul.

[She chuckles.]

Nah, I'm just hassling you. How are you doing, anyway?
tutee: (pretty)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-16 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm good. Settling in, you know?

How about you? Besides stealing your brother's phone.
