[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]

You look like you're still a teenager, I didn't even know teenagers got eye bags.

[Please rest, Hana, don't make him mom at you.]

[bunnyhopped]

You don't know my life, okay?

[ she stays up late playing video games, don't listen to her ]

[spellslots]

You're a superhero, right? Running around at all hours fighting bad guys or whatever.

[He's honestly only half joking, she did give him two names.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ Oh, right. She had said that thing back at the parade. ]

... Nah, not here anyway. And I wasn't really a superhero as much as... uhh, a soldier? I guess.

[ She shrugs, because of course that's totally the sort of fact-drop that one shrugs over. No, not a superhero, just a teenager in the military, whatever. ]

[spellslots]

Oh, I get it. So d.va is like a call sign?

[Considering Taako works for a secret organisation employing a ten year old, Hana's age doesn't register as much of an issue.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ Oh, good, because it doesn't register as an issue at all in Hana's mind. ]

Kinda! I used it as my handle back when I was a pro in e-sports. And then I got drafted and it just... carried over. It worked out!

[spellslots]

Should I pretend I know what e-sports are or is an easy kinda thing to explain?

[If it's complicated he can just like, google it, but sometimes people prefer to give the explanation themselves.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ How do you—

Oh, wait. Elf. Magic. Hana supposes it wasn't too far of a stretch to say that he wouldn't know about e-sports if he'd come from some sort of world that she'd only know through fantasy settings.

She pauses to consider how best to describe e-sports before settling with, ]

Well... have you come across video games here? Like, games on your phone and stuff. It's playing those but... competitively. So "e" for electronic, then sports.

[spellslots]

[Taako nods at the first question, because he's been shown a variety of video games, so he has a good basis for the rest of her explanation.]

Well, huh. I didn't know that was a thing, but it sounds pretty fucking cool. This means I shouldn't challenge you to anything involving games, right?

[bunnyhopped]

[ Hana's face just lights up at his response. It is pretty fucking cool, thank you, and she's proud of being #1. ]

Definitely not, because you'd get wrecked, but you can totally watch me wreck other people.

[spellslots]

I mean, I'm not above getting wrecked.

[In video games, at least. He gets kind of competitive, but he enjoys them enough that he wouldn't mind playing with someone he knows he'd lose to.

It probably wouldn't be fun for Hana, though, it'd be like a fist fight with a baby.]

Are you doing that shit here, like, for your job?

[bunnyhopped]

[ You're a brave soul, Taako, she thinks, because she has known too many people who have far too much pride to even go up against her knowing they'd lose because 'she's obviously cheating or something.'

To his question, she shrugs. ]

I'm with the Perimeter Guard. Boot camp sucks. But I guess they put me in since I'm military.

I totally wanna figure out how to get a channel up for streaming and stuff, though! There's no way I'm not letting the world watch a true master at work.
