[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]

I explode stuff, Luce.

[scholiast]

Sure, but– you could do so much more! Aren't you curious about other types of magic?

[umbrastaff]

Well, yeah. We had a pretty well-rounded experience in the academy, but blowing shit up and all the other amazing things you can do with Evocation was just my thing, you know?

Doesn't mean I don't know how to cast other shit. Transmutation is pretty cool and Taako and I used to cast eachothers favorites for training. I like conjuration, too.

[...and technically dabbling in necromancy.]

[scholiast]

(More like dabbing in necromancy am i right????????)

I suppose...

(With the current set of magical skills of the people on board the Starblaster, it does make sense that Lup would pick what she was good at and stick to it. No point learning to heal, or to cast illusions when they have specific people for that.

Still, she wishes they'd all at least attempt to learn a good array of healing spells. Might save them a bit of heartache in the future.)

[umbrastaff]

[Hell yeaaaah.]

Don't sweat it, Luce. We all have our favorites and it's worked well so far.

[The Starblaster had way too many wizards, and wizards do not exactly learn healing spells. They should recruit a bard to weigh up their so-called cleric.]

[scholiast]

Uh huh.

Guess I'll just have to really practice my abjuration, huh.

(Hey, wait. Lup is from much further ahead, right?)

What... what am I like, from your time? Am I any better at magic?

[umbrastaff]

You don't use your magic that often but hell yeah?? I mean, it's been almost half a century and you're studying.

[She smiles softly.]

The confidence helps, too.

[scholiast]

... Neat.

(She smiles too. It must really mean something if Lup is the one saying it, too. She's an amazing wizard.)

[umbrastaff]

We should show off, you know. Maybe have a little training duel.

[She won't blow you up Luce.]

[scholiast]

(won't she)

Yes! Could we? That would be awesome.

[umbrastaff]

[She loves her! She's just... very upset in that other thread. But yeah they should not fight for a while.]

I know, right? We can test your shields and shit.

[scholiast]

(Yes maybe not yikes!)

Great! I was trying them out on, um, rocks before? (Just throwing them to watch them bounce right off. But obviously it would be nice to have something a lot bigger wail on them properly.)

[umbrastaff]

Rocks? That's special.

[...and so very Lucretia, honestly.]

[scholiast]

It's all I had to hand at the time!

(Don't be mean she knows it's dumb.)

[umbrastaff]

[Pardon her cackling.]

[scholiast]

Bye. I'm leaving now.

(She's turning off the feed!!)
