[Video - Open]

[Live from Prussia's apartment, it's ill-advised video call time!]

You know why so many names are on this Null hit list right? Cuz we're not stupid. We're not falling for their shit. And if you are, then you're just as dumb as they are. Doubly so if you're the person who's been selling us out.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of you guys, or the Null, or the gods! So if you plan to come after me, know that I'm armed and I'm awesome.

[He gives the camera a confident grin and a wink.

Prussia looks down at his phone for a moment and looks over the list of names. It keeps getting bigger and bigger.]

...Is there really someone here named "Taako Taaco"? [He forgets he actually met this person.]



[Action - semi-closed to Yukari and others]

[Prussia really does have all the confidence in the world about his survival, and maybe too much faith that no one here is actually going to start murdering each other. But just in case, he takes up his duty as a Guard member and heads out to make sure no one is trying anything funny. He's carrying his broadsword nonchalantly over his shoulder, and is even whistling cheerily to himself. What he doesn't know is that there actually is someone who's out to get people, and they have some unsettled business. Thanks to Prussia's casual strolling, Yukari has a good chance of getting the jump on him, too.]

[[OOC - other people can jump in to the Prussia/Yukari fight, but keep in mind that A) Prussia is losing, B) let Yukari tag in this first and C) please keep it all to one thread. Thanks!]]

[A talking skeleton?! Awesome! On rare occasions, Hadriel is a totally cool place.]

Okay. But if your last name is already "Taaco", why name the first name the same thing?

[restinglichface]

Like I said, family tradition. We have a Taako Taaco every ten generations, okay. It's important to us and I don't appreciate you shitting on our elven culture.

[occupiesvitalregions]

Hey! I'm not shitting on it. There aren't elves where I'm from, okay? This is all new to me.

[restinglichface]

[It's okay, Prussia. Lup is legitimately fucking with you. It's just what the twins do.]

No elves? Sounds lame. Is it another place just filled with humans?

[occupiesvitalregions]

Yeah. And, y'know, animals and stuff. But just humans as far as people. All I know about elves comes from like, books and movies and stuff.

[restinglichface]

[Funny how many people around Hadriel came from worlds filled with just straight up humans. Either they were all from the same place or some gods got fucking lazy in the creation process.]

Okay, you've got a gal curious. What sorta things do they say about elves?

[occupiesvitalregions]

Um, lessee. [When's the last time he watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy?]

They got pointy ears, they live in the forests 'n use bows, they live for a really long time compared to humans and whatever, and every last one of them is ridiculously attractive.

[restinglichface]

[Lup currently does not have a face, but she is taking all of those straight to heart, thanks.]

You got three out of four right, so not completely awful. We're all super hot though. That's absolute fact.

[occupiesvitalregions]

"We"? You're an elf?

[Guess it's hard to tell from a skeleton. No ears!]

Wait, which one was wrong?

[restinglichface]

[Lup feels very offended by the question. But also. He has a point.]

Yes. I know it's hard to tell with my current features, but yes. Taako's my brother. We're twins.

And it was the second. Only a few do the livin' in trees and shooting arrows thing.

[occupiesvitalregions]

[It's easy to tell he really wants to ask about why Lup is a skeleton. It'd be rude though, right? Well, good thing Prussia barely knows the meaning of tact.]

Ooooh. Twins, got it. So how did you end up all-- [He just gestures at his own face, and figures Lup would get what he means.]

It's pretty badass.

[restinglichface]

[Something they have in common!]

How'd I end up a lich, you mean? Necromantic ritual. Deffo badass.

[occupiesvitalregions]

A lich?! [He knows those! From video games!] Hell yeah that's badass. So you can raise the dead and stuff?

[restinglichface]

Nah, that's my bee-eff, the necromancer. I've got a few dank spells, but the whole undead thing is his domain. I've just got the souped-up magic and dark aesthetic.
