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!]

Comments

[knifecollecting]

I got there on my own. [Jo is rolling her eyes.]

And I'm still not impressed.

[restinglichface]

Shit, Koko. [Lup's eyes slide to her twin, her expression going for somber, but there's just no hiding the amused grin she's holding back.]

She's not impressed.

[pocketspa]

[For a man that just fell off a roof, you'd imagine Taako might move a little less. But you'd be wrong. He slumps back against Lup, taking off his hat to hold it to his chest while his head rests on her shoulder, hand on his forhead in a fake swoon.]

Oh noooo, not impressed. How am I ever going to survive this. On our birthday. When all we've ever wanted was to make people happy.

[knifecollecting]

[These two are so annoying. Jo looks away and shrugs.]

I think if you're trying to be entertainers, listening to feedback is a good thing.

[restinglichface]

[Sweetie, you have no idea.]

Alright, I'll bite. What's your feedback? Fifteen words or less.

[pocketspa]

[He snorts.]

Less is better. Not that I think you could find fifteen words of bad stuff to even say about us, sooo...

[knifecollecting]

Jerks. Annoying. Too flashy. [Now she's determined.]

Not careful. Rude to strangers without a reason. Self-absorbed. Complete assholes.

[restinglichface]

[Maybe the twins should be taking a little more offense with these descriptions, but c'mon. They are stoned out of their minds.

Lup just giggles.]

Too flashy? Sounds fake. Self-absorbed, though? Yeah, that's deffo us.

[pocketspa]

[Meanwhile, Taako's counting as she speaks on his fingers and makes a buzzer sound when she's done- except he has prestidigitation, so it's literally him opening his mouth and making a buzzer noise.]

Nnnnope, that's sixteen words, the singular a counts. Disqualified.

[knifecollecting]

It's fifteen. You're too high to count.

[At least Lup was listening.]

[restinglichface]

[Honestly???? Jo calling Taako out like that is just too damn funny, Lup loses it immediately, nearly pitching right off of the roof as she stumbles for balance.]

Holy shit, she's got you pegged, Koko. That was totes fifteen, dingus.

[pocketspa]

[He glares towards Jo, then Lup.]

Self absorbed is two! Just because it's hyphenated doesn't make it one word! Fuck off!

[knifecollecting]

That's exactly what it means. [She won't tell Taako to fuck off, but the temptation is there.]

It's two against one.

[restinglichface]

He's so pissed! [Watch Lup ignore that pointed look as she doubles over laughing on the roof.]

I'm gonna fuckin' hurl from laughing so hard.

[pocketspa]

[He glowers at Lup laughing next to him, shoving her too lightly to do damage but demanding enough that she must feel it.]

You are a fucking betrayer. On my birthday and you don't back me. Your own brother. Against some rando! You want her to be right??

[knifecollecting]

I'm right no matter what.

[So.

She's also sure at this point she's a little more than a rando.]

[restinglichface]

Oh shit, someone sounds real cocky. You count correctly once an' suddenly you can do no wrong.

[pocketspa]

[He snorts.]

Yeah, puh-leeze. Just because you can count and say things doesn't mean they're right. You're still wrong about how great we are, so what does it even matter?

[knifecollecting]

You have to prove you're great before you can claim it.

[restinglichface]

Uh, for one, we've thrown this bitchin' party. What other proof do you possibly need?

[pocketspa]

And we didn't even like, not invite people. It's not our fault you want reasons to be mad.

[knifecollecting]

I'm just a little annoyed. [And that sounds defensive, but she'll leave it.]

Anyway, don't get hurt.

[restinglichface]

[jO get out while you still can]

Don't tell us what to do. I'll push my brother off a roof if I feel like it.

[pocketspa]

Yeah, I've proven I can fall off a roof whenever the hell I want.

[Don't tell them what to do!!!]

[knifecollecting]

Okay. [She's out. What a waste.]

Have fun. [Video over.]
