[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]

Of those? Kind of depends what language base you're starting with, I guess. When one language is related to another, it's easier to learn. For English-speakers, Chinese can be trickier than most.

[ Cain is quiet for a moment, nodding to himself. ]

Okay, first of all, that's cool. Been a while since I've heard a new language. Chinese would probably still be the most difficult for you.

That's a done deal. Whatever you think is more fun to learn, let's go with that.

Probably fun as in actual fun. Put challenge aside for another day.

[ Cain's pretty sure learning new languages is kind of automatic for him by now so their definitions of challenging might differ on that. So he's just going to go with the entertaining one. ]

Sounded like it. Whatever you come up with is fine. Just let me know whenever you're ready to start.

Nah, especially not if you prep beforehand.

[ Or have been getting used to teaching languages lately because it's a weird sort of commodity when universal translation is involved apparently?? ]

[ Cain laughs because yes, he walked into it. ]

Language lessons, primarily. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

That sounds like it would be more than just an even exchange at that point.
