[The camera turns on, and shows these babies -


- before moving to show Lup's face.

She has a bit of flour on her nose.]

I call them 'Lupcakes'. This is prime Flour Up Desserts advertising, obviously.

[She grins and settles the phone at a good angle.]

Frosting's got some spice in it, like those red candies. I'm offering some taste-testing free of charge if you tell me a good story.

...or for any tips on really good napping spots. We elves might not need to sleep like you poor chums, but chagirl's got priorities next month and like half of it is gonna be naps.

[She's so into getting a real body, okay? This vessel was great but undeath is shit for snoozing.]

Comments

[She bumps the side of her hip against his.]

You're on!

[The best.]

[Taako immediately fishes a twenty dollar bill out of a pocket and waves it at Lup.]

I want it recorded if it's not happening in front of me. No point if I can't enjoy watching someone fucking die.

[umbrastaff]

[She's quick to snatch it from him.]

Oh you got it, I'm recording that shit no matter what. Gotta get the reviews documented, y'know?

[She's getting the chili and adding that to the last frosting she has, before neatly topping another Lupcake with the colorful 'fire' - grinning the whole time.]

[spellslots]

Should we like, warn people they're playing chilli roulette?

[Taako lets the question hang in the air for a second, before he laughs.]

Can you imagine if I meant that?

[umbrastaff]

I was about to be concerned for a moment, there! Like... shit, can you imagine?

[She flicks one of his ear tips.]

They're taking free candy from a stranger, let them deal.

[spellslots]

[He grins, ducking away after that flick and making a half-hearted attempt at punching her arm.]

You know, I think that's one of the only lessons I got when we were young.
