third spell [video]

[pocketspa]

[When the camera turns on, it’s obvious this is not a coordinated message. The whole picture is blurry, bits of light hair and dark skin coming in and out of frame, along with a lot of shuffling as the camera is passed around and laughter can be heard off screen. Finally, it focuses in on what appears to be Taako and Lup… definitively on top of one of the god’s temples. This is the third day of a party bender, but somehow, they still only look messed up in all the right ways.

The camera is now being held steady and a bit away from them, thanks to some useful magic, especially from the way Taako is swaying. With the phone so nearby, there’s really no reason for yelling, but watch them do it anyway. Lup cups a hand around her mouth and just shrieks.]

EAT MY WHOLE ASS, DELIGHT!

[This whole conversation seems like it’s going to be yelling, because Taako follows up very quickly, and at the absolute same volume.]

You see this?? We-- we threw the party of the year. The century. And nobody-- nobody needed those emotion-sucking liches’ help at all. We are fuckin’-- fuckin’ INCREDIBLE!

[Lup throws up an arm before she’s dropping it around her twin’s shoulders and dragging him in close.]

What he means to say is, fuck off! We declare ourselves the new Delight of Hadriel! The old one is out an’ we are so in.

[Taako staggers as he gets pulled in, but his face is red and he’s laughing, even if he has to hold onto her a bit for balance.]

WE’RE BETTER GODS! YOU’RE NOT EVEN REAL GODS! FUCK OFF!

[Lup snorts, equally red-faced and totally trashed, before she’s laughing so hard her whole body shakes against his.]

GET DUNKED ON!

[Taako detangles himself from Lup some, approaching the camera in a way that looks like he’s trying to walk with a swagger, but it’s obvious he’s just absolutely wasted. He reaches for the phone, as if to turn it off, and… misses entirely, taking a step sideways to reconnect, and then just goes directly out of frame. There’s a smashing noise as he hits the side of the building and some muffled yelling as he just falls right off the damn thing. On the upside, he still sounds like he’s laughing, so he’s probably not dead or even unconscious even from his new position on the ground. Finally, he yells, his words barely able to be heard.]

Lup, the hat worked!

[And the video finally cuts.]

[ooc: taako is blue, lup is red, and we'll be responding with 3 way threads!]

What, that was supposed to be a good party?

[restinglichface]

You sure weren't complainin' last night, hun.

[pocketspa]

[He's in the process of getting back to the roof, but he can hear, so catch him yelling offscreen.]

IT WAS FANTASTIC AND YOU KNOW IT!

[knifecollecting]

[Jo quirks an eyebrow.]

I wasn't complaining and I'm still not complaining, just stating a fact.

[hasitsthorns]

Fuck yeah! New party gods.

I'm totally down for you guys taking over Delight's position.

[restinglichface]

Not that we need the vote, but you are so gettin' special honors for bein' our first one.

[pocketspa]

[He makes his way back up from the floor, but he's still yelling, even at close range.]

If we're gods you-- you're the fantasy Pope because you have all the drugs! You win! And get a big stupid hat.

[ Oh, that's a hangover. She cringes when she turns the sound on for this, fun as it is, and finds it necessary to turn it down a little.]

You guys are still going, huh?

[restinglichface]

Care. Babe. [Lup cocks a hip, teetering a little unsteadily at the movement, almost beefing it just as bad as her brother.]

Do we look like we're even close to finished? C'mon, we're just getting this party started.

[pocketspa]

[Taako is just kind of like, half levitating half climbing in the background back to the camera. He's out here doing it, fam. He is Making It Happen. He also will not stop yelling.]

You can't feel sick if you don't stop! Or have a hangover! Just keep drinking! It's science!

[He punctuates that last word with some extreme sparkle fingers, nearly falling off the roof again in the process.]

[smoketendrils]

Well, I know I'm delighted to see someone mocking them so openly, so good work.

[He also wants whatever they have been drinking but he'll get to that.]

[restinglichface]

What can I say? We aim to please.

- But really, did you even come to our party, cuz it's still goin' on my guy an' you don't wanna miss this.

[pocketspa]

[He's still scrambling up to the roof, but he's gonna yell as a hand emerges in the background--]

LUP! YOU BETTER BE INVITING SOMEONE HOT! OR RICH!

[circumitus]

[Huh, look at that. A thing.]

Nice work. About time someone did something with that waste of space.

[restinglichface]

I think it's a pretty choice improvement, wouldn't ya say?

[pocketspa]

[Here he comes, stumbling onto the roof, he's so fine.]

Uh, everything with us is an improvement, natch.

[storyseeker]

I don't know how you too can be so...boisterous. I still haven't recovered.

[restinglichface]

The key is to never stop drinking, babe. Don't let the hangover catch up to you!

[pocketspa]

[Almost immediately after, even overlapping the last one or two of Lup's words, Taako can be heard screaming from the background.]

WE ARE STILL FUCKED UP! GET ON OUR LEVEL!

[glacius]

((assuming a handwaved visit at some point during the festivities if that's alright!))

It was not my usual way of spending time, or even of throwing a celebration, but I am glad you two had fun. Are still... having fun. [Or something like it. Unbridled chaos that brings them amusement might be a better descriptor, which seems to be fairly on-brand from what Glacius has seen.] If that ever changes and any of this catches up to you, let me know. I shall help where I can.

[... And that's on brand for the alien marshal, trying to be responsible and dependable despite festive on-goings. At least he sort of seems to be getting the point, even if he does not personally prescribe to it.]

ya good my man

[pocketspa]

[Taako is still making his way back up, but he's still grinning like a goofus, despite having just fallen off a building.]

Hey, it's important you had fun too. It's. It's a good time for everyone. Yes.

[They appreciate you lookin' out, Glacius, they're just a hailstorm of destruction.]

[restinglichface]

Aaaaw, Glacius hun. [When Taako crawls himself up back onto the roof, she ropes an arm around her twin's neck and drags their heads together, bumping foreheads. Look at these innocent, totally trashed elves you've adopted.]

We're all grown up and you're still going all dad on us. It's cute.

[ Curufin is laughing his ass off. ]

All hail the new Delight!

That was a spectacular party. I wouldn't have left at all, EVER, if I hadn't had to get back to work. [ He lifts an imaginary glass to the Hot Twins. ]

[restinglichface]

Work? You left our bomb ass party for work?

[Lup cups a hand over her mouth, so she can yell down off of the roof after Taako.] Hear that? Our main elf man ditched us to go on shift. Yucko.

[pocketspa]

[Taako is still climbing, but he can yell back even off camera.]

Weeeeak! You're just-- just jealous that this beat the hell outta your fake fancy castle party, come on! Come back!
