[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]

[ She laughs. ]

Alright. If you say so.
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)

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.
umbrastaff: (1)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-16 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Same here. I got a job with said brother and I might do some work at the Magic Research Center as well.
tutee: (I told you so)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-07-23 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Are you a wizard too, then? Does it run in the family or something?
umbrastaff: (4)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-07-23 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea, it's just been us for a long, long time.

[She shrugs.]

...but yeah, we learned magic together.
tutee: (what are you saying)

[ Bill smiles a knowing, resigned smile. ]

I know something of what that's like.

...Not the learning magic part. The being on your own part.
umbrastaff: (1)

[personal profile] umbrastaff 2017-08-11 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
It was just the two of us from when we were twelve to a long, long time later. Makes you grow real close, you know? We could only ever rely on each other.

[She looks a little wistful.]

What about you? When did you get out of that? Because you're obviously not a loner, now.
tutee: (getting it)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-08-15 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, like I said, I'm an only child. And my mum died when I was a baby, so I've just... [ She shrugs. ] ...always been "in the system," I guess. I was living with my foster mum, Moira, back home. She's alright, I guess, but she doesn't really...

[ How to put this? How to describe the woman who only half raised her, and is too focused on herself and her own relationships with man after man to realize Bill doesn't even swing that way? ]

She doesn't get me.

[ Another shrug, as she pushes the sadness and loss aside. ]

So I make do! I go out, make friends. It's fine, really.
