what the fuck does that mean did you dream a green version of me for your inner plant zone seriously if you wanna bother me with weird ass sentences at least give me context i can follow
[holy fuck, he's so talented, will wonders never cease]
im gonna just follow your weird ass brain trail here and say this has something to do with whatever weird ass fake spot you were before here right your collective hallucination why would you make me green thats rude
well apparently it was deffo a hallucination because i was neon or something which i mean dont get me wrong could be a Look but wouldnt be my regular palette for sure and it sure as fuck wasnt my mass hallucination i was busy in another world fighting liches for like two years
no it sucked do not think for a moment it did not suck you were there too for at least half of it so guess it was your hallucination too id blame you for forgetting all that but it was awful sooo forget it ig
yup dont remember anything thats how it goes no dipshit you were there too just not this you some other splinter merle that did some dumb shit and helped me level like a bunch of shitty robots
nevermind that thought is formally banned the only doubles allowed are me and lulu who also isnt green as a reminder in case you were also figuring some delusions about that happening
yeah? Sounds like you had more of an adventure than we did. life was kind of slow back in Pennsylvania, when there wasn't some imPort making the place go nutso.
it was just like fucking whiplash nothing was happening and then out of fucking nowhere everybody got fucked in the head and started killing each other and then in a week and a half you just had to be like hey! sorry i fucking knifed you last week you triggered a thing i thought was really important for like four goddamn days ive been over it for WAY too long
and of course you built a church what else are you gonna do in a quiet town actually be quiet
yet another place where death don't stick, huh? Seems like we're drawn to that sorta thing. can't imagine it makes Me. Raven-Queen-rules all too happy.
HAH no hes pissed as ya do its kinda cute when he gets all fired up anyway this place just feels like more of the same but at least i can go shopping and get a coffee without having to beg favors from a lich
HAH yeah yikes is the mood ill handle whatever hokey horror bs this wants to toss at us oh no i turned on my faucet and its bloooooood who cares pass me a half caf while i take a nap on the bone couch idk just call me fantasy morticia addams
[Okay, on one hand, holy shit this is wonderful. On the other hand, a stranger doing something for him?? A stranger he's only ever mostly harassed??? That seems very fake. He stares at it for a while before responding, and even then makes sure it's at least a half an hour later to make it seem casual.]
holy shit you actually did it the absolute madman im making the fake curse words your ringtone
oh yeah yeah no i feel if i was a foot tall id also be like hey how about we just dont go outdoors huh that doesnt just go for now that goes forever if i had an excuse to sit around and nap all the time id already be doing it hey do you sleep because that seems like youd have a LOT of time to fill on top of other peoples awake hours
look its just a good practice plus its better you sleep anyway itd just be weird otherwise some people might think its less weird but otherwise youd just have way more hours than everyone else and frankly thats suuuuper unfair thats like world domination advantages right there thatd be a reason to keep it all secret bc youre running the show huh
Well, it's not like people know we sleep or don't sleep. We're just toys to them! We're definitely not running the show, though. We just want to be there for our kiddos.
oh yeah suuuure the ol no motive defense what could you possibly want well im watching you raising impressionable youth thats just how it starts musical talent is noted tho you could be a tiny pied piper with your guitar and newfound meme talents
Uh, thanks! I'm not really that talented, just know my way around a guitar pick. If I've been alive 50 years and haven't picked up SOMETHING, I'm really a waste of stitching.
wowwww now youre out here with that trademarked elf guilt blah blah oh fifty and has one skill well my kid is the prodigy of pooping and had an award in whatever ss your life do whatever you want with it and if thats sittin on your ass and enjoying yourself then thats just what it be baybee
[You know what she's terrified of? The aurora in the goddamn sky, so she's started calling people she knows. Since Taako can turn into a cat, he's probably fine. Cats aren't affected by Glass Cage, she hopes, but it never hurts to be sure.
In the middle of the night, he gets a phone call and she immediately asks-]
Are you awake? Can you still wake up? Are you still alive?
[Meanwhile, Taako has no fucking idea about this trauma and is just tired. He's never done well with being woken up, so he barely even recognizes the voice on the other end of the line as he groans his way into pseudo-consciousness. It's also why he responds with--]
No.
[In a deadpan, chill ass voice. Because anyone waking him up at whatever-the-fuck-time must know enough about him to know if he's speaking he has to be alive, right?]
[She can't breathe. The no was something she had prepared to hear. That, or silence, or-
She knew that aurora was trouble. Knew that something bad would happen because of its presence and she can feel the Fluid's plastic dig into her skin as she tightens and tightens and tightens her hold around it.
He must be a ghost now-one that can still talk. One that's closer to Sai than the angry spirits that used to chase her down, but he's still-
Dead. He's still dead and of course he's dead. It would make sense. The people she's met here-they're all about to meet the same fate.
Something tries to come out of the back of her throat, but it's more of a choke than anything. She can't get it out. The I'm sorry or anything she wants to say. All she does is quietly repeat-]
[Taako, who is still groggily coming to consciousness, has no idea what's happening here. He drags a hand down his face trying to find something resembling words, a sigh that likely means something to her and shit nothing to him.]
Nope. That's what happens when someone wakes me up from the dreamzone, I just fuckin' die. Who's this?
[Catch him fumbling with the caller ID about to realize the mistake of his goddamn life.]
[She had thought waking him up would be his only saving grace.
She had thought it was Glass Cage. Had thought it was the effects from her world seeping into this place. Thought it was thousands of little things, but it turns out it was her and this phone call and isn't it so typical for someone like her to cause that.
It doesn't matter if he knows who's calling at this point, but the surge of panic she feels knowing that he's dead, that something's started, that-]
[He's still rubbing a bit of tired out of his eyes as he scrolls the phone, and finally starting to get his brain to chug along.]
Ren?
[Wait, wait what is she-- right, she takes everything seriously. Never forget neighbors and all that.]
'Mm not a ghost, that was a joke. What do you need at whatever time it is or whatever? Is this a cat question, because uhhh, can't always do literal catcalls.
[He still hasn't quite grasped the severity of this, at least for her.]
[Jokes are garbage and while he may be struggling with the seriousness of the conversation, she's unable to grasp that it is a joke. Whatever that is. Jokes probably mean different spirits. One that's a bit more sentient than the norm. ]
I know you can't be a cat anymore. If you're a joke-that kind of bad thing. I didn't know.
[It doesn't make sense, but she's not sure what to do at this point. If people are going to drop left and right-
[have a gift from your favorite student, taako -- a set of handpainted mugs, a handful of candy that may-or-may-not be left over from halloween, and a pencil sketch of taako chilling behind the counter of the magic school.]
