[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]

Or you've been here like, what, a couple weeks? A month? Not exactly time to get a whole bunch of varied opinions.

[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.]

[alchemyfreak]

[If he's trying to be a dick, it's lost on Ed. Or he doesn't care.]

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.

[spellslots]

I'm about to hit the five month mark. [Just. saying.] And I can guarantee I don't remember any of their names. If you wanna look back through the network I talked about it ages ago.

["Ages ago" aka a few months.]

[alchemyfreak]

Thanks, I was hoping to get a few different perspective so I'll do that. Were this many people coming in all at once then, too?

[He's not at all deterred by the work involved.]

[spellslots]

Maybe? You're really over-estimating how much of a shit I give about like, any of this.

[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.]

[alchemyfreak]

[He had kept the conversation going but Ed can take a hint.]

All right, thanks again.

[spellslots]

Sure, pumpkin. Have fun with your little thing.

[Whatever Ed is planning on doing.]
