What's up, chucklefucks, it's me, Taako, everybody's favorite wizard here to beg, desperately, for you to entertain me for next eight fucking hours while I mess with this spell.

["This spell" being his transmutation stone that he needs to remake, but it takes eight hours to prepare and honestly, he's going to go crazy.]

I'll even help you out here but giving you a starting point or several, cause I'm just amazing like that.

First off, give ch'boy some movies to watch or music to listen to. Don't bother recommending Beyoncé I'm all over that already. I can't imagine any of you being interesting enough to keep me amused for eight hours so like, this is my back up plan.

The main plan is let's play a fucking game, I was gonna go with truth or dare but it's hard to police that shit on the network so we're doing two truths and a lie instead.

Ready?

1. I've been a professor
2. I turned a dude into a cat for cheating on me and never turned him back
3. One time I fucked up a spell and everything I drank tasted like key lime gogurt for six months

[[ooc: feel free to threadjack on this one if it gets interesting]]

[ Lucretia told him that she went to school with Taako, otherwise he might've been lead to #1. But--to his delight, always--he's better informed than that. ]

Hmm. The first one is too simple, and the third one is too specific. So it's got to be #2.

[ Plus he's really good at lying, which helps to spot it in others. ]

I can't imagine who would have the audacity, anyway.

[spellslots]

I hope everyone's aware I'm making a list of who's smart enough to know that it's practically impossible to cheat on me. There'll be rewards at the end.

[And Rin is, obviously, on the list.]

Your turn ;)

[imperceptus]

Rewards, really? I can't wait.

[ A slight delay follows. ]

1. I didn't see the sunset until I was a teenager.
2. I have a big family, and I'm the youngest one.
3. I once owned no less than three pet spiders.

[spellslots]

😉😉😉

2. You don't really strike me as the baby of a family

[Even though the Underdark in Taako's world isn't as... intense as Rin's, there are similarities, like the spider thing, so neither 1 nor 3 seem particularly unlikely.]

[imperceptus]

Nice try, but no cigar.

[ He is, in fact, the baby of the family. ]

[spellslots]

I am pretty okay with being wrong on that one, it's kinda cute.

[Rin's dramatics are very "baby of the family" after all.]

Is it 3? I mean, I got no fucking clue when you first left the Underdark but if I personally had to choose I'd rather the spider thing be a lie. No offense, but a giant spider did try to kill me once.

[imperceptus]

They do that, yes.

But it's true. I've never had a pet spider at all. I kill every one I see.

[spellslots]

[He is, briefly, reminded of Brian, and how much Brian fucking loved spiders because that's part of the whole Underdark thing, for a lot of drow.

I kill every one I see makes him wonder if Rin isn't quite so fond of his heritage.]

I've heard cats are good for that.

[Killing spiders, he means, but he doesn't want to dig too deeply into this if it's a Thing, so he'll just move on to the next round]

Since we're on a bit of theme here:
1. We're orphans
2. I'm the youngest by a couple of minutes
3. We had a pet dog when we were kids

[The "we" is automatic, because in these things he tends to treat himself and Lup as a single unit.]

[imperceptus]

Fortunately, I have cat-like reflexes.

[ Other than that quip, he's perfectly happy not to get into it. ]

Hmmm.

I'm going to say--three.

[spellslots]

🎉 Got it in one.

Pretty sure the closest thing we ever had to a pet was when Lup put a frog in my bed when I was like five and I didn't notice for three days cause I kept sleeping in her bed

[imperceptus]

You two are thick as thieves.

It's heartwarming

[spellslots]

Don't get sappy on me, pumpkin.

It was kinda all we had. Each other, I mean. No one else was gonna look out for us so we looked out for each other

[imperceptus]

[ It's been a long time since Rin had anybody, much less a member of his family. ]

I would never

I see. Must be why you both turned out so well

[spellslots]

[Well now that's just funny.]

🤣🤣🤣

We're upstanding fucking citizens, for sure. Everyone should be looking up to us

[imperceptus]

Oh, obviously. Pillars of the community

[spellslots]

I heard they're gonna give us the keys to the city

[imperceptus]

Always wondered if those actually opened anything worthwhile

You'll have to let me know

[spellslots]

You'll be the first to know 😘
