This thing sure is, uh, fancy.

[ Magnus sticks a finger out at the phone's screen, tapping the glass and knocking the image out of focus for just a second. However, he quickly realizes he’s made a mistake and fixes the camera focus accordingly. ]

Sorry, I’m just not used to this kinda stuff. I think my fingers are too big for this thing... But I’ll figure it out quick! Anyway, hi, I’m Magnus, and… Well, I guess I’d be lying if I said I was completely happy to be here — [ His face looks as if he’s guilty to be saying this, but it almost instantly lights back up. ] — But I’ll make the most of it while I’m here! Y’know, I’m always happy to make new friends. Just let me know if you need, uh, a chair, or a bed, or a bodyguard or something!

[ He reaches forward to turn off the camera, but pauses, quizzical. He retracts his hand. ]

You should also let me know if you have a dog that I might be able to pet. …I hope dogs exist here.

[ The camera shuts down with the press of a button. ]

[And there's relief in that, because he's not sure what he'd say to convince Magnus that he isn't like, some weird crazy stalker.]

Don't sweat it, the portal's just a bitch like that. But I would for sure love to hang out, there's a cool park near where I live that everyone takes their dogs to?

[That's Magnus's kinda jam.]

[ohhmrburnsides]

[IMMEDIATE change in attitude.]

Heck yeah! Okay, now I know you're telling the truth if you knew to bring up dogs. I was actually trying to figure out where all the dogs were, so this is perfect! I gotta get settled in still, but I swear, as soon as I'm ready to go I wanna go see these dogs with you.

[It's strange seeing Magnus so... young, without either a century of hardship, or the loss of Julia.]

Dogs, making ducks outta wood, and punching assholes real hard, that's your style. [He sounds very fond, though.] If you got any questions about this place feel free to throw 'em at me, I've been kicking it here for almost six months now. Oh right, shit, I'm Taako. Sorry, kinda forgot the introductions bit.

[That's kind of important.]

[ohhmrburnsides]

[He's impressed at the amount of Magnus Trivia the guy knows. And, also, reveling in it. He is a very proud boy.]

Taako, huh? It's nice to meet you. I'll hit you up when I can! Figuratively. I won't literally hit you. I don't punch friends. Unless they, like, really deserve it.

[spellslots]

I mean, trust me, that is a fact I know pretty well.

[A century of living in cramped quarters, and Taako being... Taako, resulted in at least a handful of times where he definitely deserved it.]

But uh, yeah, gimme a call if you need anything or like, just rock up at my place? I'll send you my address.

[And Magnus will get a text with Taako (and Lup and Lucretia's) address.]
