[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]

[There are good and bad things to this, and he's not sure how to feel about it at all.]
What about like, physical changes? If I lost an arm or whatever here, would it still be gone when I pop back through the portal?
no subject
[He has to be careful how he words this, he's still trying not to let out too much information about his automail to complete strangers.]
For instance, someone that .... Came through the portal without their arm could get a prosthetic here, but when they go back- their arm will be gone again.
[Or made out of shitty gun parts, you know. Whatever, canon. It definitely wasn't fully functional.]
If they came back here after that, they- may or may not return with the prosthetic from this world, but they definitely won't have it at home. So, no... If you lose an arm here, your- home world self wouldn't even notice.
no subject
[He knows he's already said that a couple times, but it bears repeating, as Taako pinches the bridge of his nose.]
I guess I don't have to worry about spoiling shit for anyone behind me in the timeline, but this is fucked up.
[He's going to go back and forget Lup all over again, which is pretty much the worst thing. He'd rather lose an arm.]
no subject
[His voice is softer now, almost sympathetic. He knows it's hard to hear, he had to hear it for the first time once, too. He witnessed it more than once.]
It's like I told my brother, any lessons we learn here won't do anything to change our future. I'm still going to go after him when I return to my world, I can't stop that even though I know now that it gets me killed-
[He stops there, seeming to realize he very nearly said too much. He didn't like to tell strangers too much about the stone, or Al using it - and adding that he pulled him back from death generally raised questions.]
no subject
He doesn't miss what Ed says, but, well, going back home to get killed is pretty much what he's expecting, too, so it doesn't feel like that big of a deal.]
The places you went before all this shit, did they have something like the portal?
no subject

Not that we could see, we were told the gods brought us in. In the first world though, they didn't seem to really have any control of it - it was more like... The place itself had whims of it's own.
[Regarding more than just who came and went.]
This place claims we're pulled in as a favor to us, the last place claimed it was a favor to them, and the first place claimed it was punishment for our sins... There are differences and similarities between all of them.
no subject
[It's not that he doesn't believe what Ed is saying, just that maybe these particular gods, well, weren't. It's easy for someone powerful enough to call themselves a god, regardless of their actual divine status.]
And I mean, I never really got the impression this place was supposed to be a favor to us, just that we got pulled in cause we were feeling outta place.
no subject
[He's frowning now, because- mostly he called them gods for convenience sake. That's what they called themselves and he didn't really have any other reference to go by.]
I've never really been one to believe in any gods, once something gets beaten into your head enough- you start sounding like everyone else. We didn't have anything that powerful where I came from originally, who knows what they really were.
no subject
We've got shit you'd call divine, or celestial, however you wanna phrase it. Sounds more up a liches alley.
[Rather than gods.]
It's all just bullshit, really. I'm not really into the whole "blah blah the people and portal are evil" crap, but I'm fucking ready to be done with this.
no subject
Liches...?
[At the last part, Ed just shrugs.]
They don't seem evil, here... They weren't in the last place either, they just needed help- and when you're that desperate and have that kind of power...
[Some of them were evil, he didn't wind up blind by accident - not the point though.]
I'm not sure what to think of this place, yet. The similarities don't make anyone evil, but it does raise questions about the story we get on arrival.
[Ed doesn't add that he's fine staying here. Al's goal is to take him and go home, but he's perfectly content to remain, if he has his brother with him. He doesn't imagine anything much worse could happen than already has.]
no subject
[It's not... completely dismissive, but he can't be bothered to explain it right now when it doesn't seem that relevant to the conversation.]
And what's the point in lying. Like - you think they decided to make up an entire fake history just to fuck with us?
no subject
Everyone always takes it to such an extreme. I just think they might be... omitting some things.
[Like that there's some sort of other power in control here, and no one's talking about it.]
Either way, I'm hoping to find out.
no subject
[He's paranoid about people on a one-on-one level, but he doesn't get why so many people seem to have conspiracy theories about this place.
He's never letting the breeding stables thing go. That was wild.]
no subject
[Otabek came to mind there, he seemed so deadset on convincing Ed he was happy here. Which was fine, but it didn't change the fact people were pulled into this place against their will, mistake or not.]
If they think they can find a way back for my brother, I'll be the first one to help out. I don't think anyone here's really malicious.
[If he did, he wouldn't be fine staying here himself.]
no subject
[Just... saying.
This whole thing with memories has left him unsettled, and the easiest way to deal with that is by being kind of a dick.]
no subject
Yeah, about a month. I've been asking around on the network and it doesn't seem like many people have been here much longer - four months, tops. I'd be happy to talk to some of the more paranoid ones, as you put it, but most people that I've reached are perfectly happy staying here.
[Most people that weren't new like him, at least. The ones that arrived in his wave? Those people are all ready to go home, and take this place down with them if they have to.]
The ones that have had enough time to settle in, anyway.
no subject
["Ages ago" aka a few months.]
no subject
[He's not at all deterred by the work involved.]
no subject
[He doesn't want to solve some big shitty mystery; he went with Clark to the portal because it was Clark asking, but he'd rather just do his own thing and go home when the time comes.]
no subject
All right, thanks again.
no subject
[Whatever Ed is planning on doing.]
