first spell [video]
[The camera opens on two people, sitting shoulder to shoulder and addressing the camera head-on. Or, well... one elf and a skeleton. Taako’s face is wide in a grin, seemingly intent on emoting well enough for the two of them, and they simultaneously move to flip some hair from their faces- or well, Lup would, if she had any. The motion is still recognizable enough as they address the network.]
Helloooo, Hadriel!
[For those who remember Stepford, it might be very reminiscent of their tv show, Lup’s voice coming through loud and clear to make herself a little more recognizable.]
You’re on with the twins, and today, we have a suuuuper important thing we need you to settle.
Bee-tee-dubs, we wouldn’t even need to bother with this if my dear brother could get over himself.
[Taako gives her a look, before re-addressing the camera.] Anyway, so there’s like, transmutation magic, which is awesome and rad, and then there’s evocation, which just like, does elemental stuff or whatever, and is super lame. So if you were gonna pick one--
Yeah, no. [And Lup raises a hand to prove her point, summoning fire instantly to her skeletal palm.] Deffo cooler than anything that comes out of his specialization. Trust me, fam.
[Without even a response, a translucent, spectral hand appears behind Taako, and moving in tandem with his hand, floats into the frame and smacks Lup upside the head before disappearing.]
I can literally turn into anything I want, whenever I want. I can fly, my dude. I could be a shark.
Holy shit, Taako. Give up the shark thing. No one cares about sharks! I’m not trying to crush your game or anything, but pick a better animal.
It’s a fucking shark! What is there not to-- no, you know what, stand back, this is gonna be amazing. [He is, in fact, backing up to give himself some space with the intent to actually do it, tossing his pointy wizard hat to the side in preparation.]
And there he goes again. [Lup could not possibly sound less excited if she tried.]
Check. It. Out. [Taako winks towards the camera, hands on his hips, and then extends his arms, starting to emanate a strange sort of glow. But just before their audience can catch sight of what supremely awesome magic Taako is about to throw down, the camera shifts, pulled to a close up on Lup’s skeletal face. She tilts her head, as if smiling, effectively blocking Taako’s transformation from being seen.]
Y'know, I don’t think I’ve ever looked so good.
[Behind her, a loud and rather angry roar can be heard, that still kind of sounds a little like Taako. The voice that follows is much rougher than his normal tone, because it’s hard to make animal vocal chords try and speak, okay.]
LUP WHAT THE FUCK--
[It’s accompanied by what sounds like some thrashing, and then absolutely the sound of something in their room shattering to the floor. Lup somehow manages to ignore the chaos behind her completely, throwing up a skeletal peace sign before the connection cuts.]
[ooc: Taako is blue, Lup is red, both of them are purple! Specify if you want one or the other because the default is both with a three-way thread!]

1) Angus realizes that Magnus and Merle would absolutely be down for Taako turning him into a dinosaur, and will therefore be no help and possibly active hindrances if he runs downstairs, (assuming Taako doesn't catch him first),
2) Angus's eye twitches, and
3) Angus turns on his heel, bolts towards the window (going right through Lup's intangible form, he'll apologize later!), casts Feather Fall on himself, and leaps over the windowsill.
Nope nope nope nope NOOOOPE, ANGO'S GOOD OUT HERE! ]
no subject
So the logical conclusion to this is obviously for Taako to also barrel right through Lup, open the staff, and Featherfall right. Freakin. After him.
The family that dinosaurs together stays together, I guess?]
C'mon, kid, you owe your dinosaur dues to the house! Don't fight it!
no subject
[But like hell Taako being inconsiderate is going to keep her from watching Angus get turned into a dinosaur. Lup doesn't need to cast featherfall or try to squeeze her lanky form through the open window. She just casually floats through the side of the house and down to the ground, before joining the chase. This situation just went from an eight to an eleven instantly.]
no subject
Angus uses every trick that he learned from his Boy Detective days, ducking around corners, scrambling over fences, and the second he's out of sight (and almost out of breath), he leans back against a wall and casts Disguise Self to go from Angus McDonald to Richie Tozier, one of the only other people in Hadriel who won't sound completely out of place with a voice that hasn't hit puberty yet. ]
no subject
So Taako reaches out skeptically, like a cat readying to strike, and gently smacks his shoulder.
Oh. Real.
Huh.]
Hey, kid, you seen Ango around here? 'Bout this tall, glasses, dork?
[He sort of gestures with his hand in comparison to his body. It's probably wildly incorrect.]
no subject
Probably muttering to himself about not wanting to be a dinosaur?
no subject
Nuh-uh. I don't know anybody named Ango. And I definitely don't know any toddlers or gnomes named Ango, because they'd have to be either a very small child or a gnome to be as tall as you indicated.
[ Seriously Taako, RUDE. ]
I don't think anybody really wants to be turned into a dinosaur against their will, Ma'--!
[ His mouth snaps shut just a second too late. Damn his habitual politeness! ]
no subject
Anyway, Angus gives this up way too easily, and he grins much, much too wide.]
Oh, Ango. You almost had us there... not!
[He grabs Angus' arm, and casts the spell. DC 18, Angus, make your save or it's velociraptor time.]
no subject
Lup cackles, floating to hover behind Taako's shoulder while the spell is cast, waiting to see just how turns out. Give them the dino!]
no subject
GUESS WHO'S AT POINT BLANK RANGE, AND JUST ROLLED A CRITICAL FAIL!
Angus-as-Richie yelps, and the yelp turns into a screeching velociraptor roar as the arm in Taako's grip warps and morphs into the spindly, leathery arm of...
... well, a short velociraptor with glasses. If Taako-as-Dupree gets to keep his wizard hat, Angus-as-Jurassic-Park-Extra-#12 gets his glasses!
Angus roars again and snaps at Taako's hand, because Taako is a jerk, and he will absolutely blame that on feral dinosaur instincts later. ]
no subject
He laughs so hard he stumbles backwards, having to put a hand up on the wall and another around his waist. He's going to fucking cry. It's everything he has not to end up on the goddamn floor crying at his own joke. This is amazing. For a second he thinks he might lose the spell with how hard he's going to go the fuck down. This is everything he has ever wanted.]
This is the best day of my life, I swear. Game over. We are done.
no subject
[Taako loses himself laughing, barely able to keep standing up, but Lup makes a quick grab for her phone, immediately snapping at least a hundred pictures of the encounter as she floats around to get Dino!Angus from every angle. Smile for the camera, babe.]
Alright, alright. In this one specific instance, I'm giving transmutation a point--Just this one!--because this is fuckin' incredible. I want to take him home and keep him forever.
no subject
VelocirAngus lets out another screeching roar, and lunges right through Lup's spectral form in an effort to bite her phone. Then he changes course and charges forward to snap and claw at Taako, and even makes grab for his hat. He's biting and clawing at whatever he can reach, at this point! He's a dino now, this is how he expresses himself when he's upset! YOU ARE THE ENGINES OF YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION, FOOLS. ]
no subject
Ango! Rude boy. C'mon, enjoy it! With your-- god, fuckin' dino glasses, I can't deal--
[He breaks into another laughing fit. Take advantage on that next move Angus, he's actually gonna laugh himself sick.]
no subject
Double rude. Stop--Stop doing that! It's weird! [She may not exactly be able to feel, but how would you like for a whole person (dinosaur-shaped or otherwise) to walk right through you?
Taako's antagonizing the boy, so Lup takes the moment while Angus' attention is on her brother to quickly shoot off a few photos to their friends. Enjoy the cutest dinosaur ever, boys.]
no subject
... You know what, knocking him over seems like a pretty good idea after all, he's gonna go with that. This time he throws his weight at Taako's midsection, his claws are going for his arms, and his teeth are going after that wizard hat! ]
no subject
Ango! Bad! Bad dinosaur! That's uncle Taako's hat, stop-- you wouldn't eat this as a person, gods, come on!
no subject
This whole situation is just incredible, Lup falling into laughter when Angus taps his chin with his claw like that, her free hand shoving at Taako to smack him on the shoulder, though her hand just flies through him like usual. The dino barrels into her brother and the sensible thing to do would be to put an end to this scuffle and just turn Angus back into the adorable boy they both know and love.
But when have either of the twins ever done the sensible thing?
Instead, Lup summons a disembodied, spectral hand to make an attempt to pluck the hat off of Taako's head. If she gets it away from her brother, she's just going to lead it away from the pair, attempting to lead Angus off of Taako, like she's dangling a toy mouse for a cat.] Here, Ango, Ango, Ango~.
no subject
Unfortunately for Taako, Angus pretty much launched himself at Lup from on top of the prone wizard, and his fearsome raptor toe-claws totally dug into his arms along the way. Sorry! He'll apologize later! ]
no subject
Maybe thankfully for Angus (and absolutely not for Taako), he shot a good ol natural one as the dinosaur launches off of him, tearing a sleeve and knocking the wind out of him... along with his concentration. And just like that, Angus gets to go back to being a flesh boy, snapping his teeth at a hat, and Taako hisses just a bit as he covers his arm from the scratches.]
Man, Ango, you sure know how to ruin a dino party, puh-leeze.
