fourth spell [video]

[pocketspa]

[For the first time in Hadriel History, Taako is appearing on the main feed without his sister. He actually looks a little bit serious, seemingly sat down at a desk with his fingers laced in front of his face like some fantasy Gendo Ikari. Without the glasses it kind of loses the effect, but hey, what can ya do.]

So, listen. There's been like, a toooon of posts lately about like, magic, and learning it. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's other people that know magic here. But if this is where we're goin'... wouldn't you rather learn from the master?

[He shoves his chair back from the desk and opens his hands by his face, giving them a shake as the words Taako's Awesome School Of Magic appear over his head in sparkly bubble font.]

Not to flaunt my resume or anything, but uhh, I've been bomb ass fantastic at magic for over a hundo years, I'm a transmutation expert, and, oh yeah--, I already have my first student who can speak to my incredible teaching style.

[Just because he's really showing the fuck off, a spectral hand appears in the air by him and floats offscreen, only to return about a second later with another network device. It presses a button and the voice of a certain boy detective can be heard through the playback.]

Taako is a good teacher, and I've really learned a lot from him, magically speaking! If he threatens to utterly destroy you should you ever surpass him in magical ability, that just means he thinks you're making good progress. Probably.

[It very abruptly cuts there as the magic hand disappears, the device falling into Taako's open palm.]

Really, it's a no-brainer here. You could go with somebody who wants to teach you some light tricks- don't get me wrong, you gotta start somewhere- but take it from the guy who can teach you how to be a t-rex, there are sooooo many better magical tutors out there.

[He looks very, very smug.]

Make room for chaboy, Hadriel, that's T double A to the K-O, because I'm the knockout you need.

[A wink.]

So call me.

[hellosirs]

Okay, okay, okay!

[ CALLED OUT! ]

In my defence, I haven’t been to school in a few years, and I’ve never taught anyone before!

[pocketspa]

So? It's easy.

[(taako woods voice) what, like it's hard]

You know what to do and how to do it. Now just say it out loud, and boom, you're teachin', that simple.

[hellosirs]

[ Angus is pretty sure there's more to it than that, but he'll take Taako's word for it. For now. ]

I... guess that's pretty straightforward. Do you think they'll be ok with being taught by a little boy? From the looks of it, I'm less than half the age of most of your prospective students.

[pocketspa]

If they don't, you have full permission to kick their ass, as long as it's with magic.

[He doesn't even hesitate when he says that. In fact, part of him is hoping that's the case.]

Hell, if you let me watch I'll bake you your own goddamn cake.

[hellosirs]

Noted, sir!

[ hopefully it won't come to that, but at least if somebody does try to throw down against him, he knows he'll get cake out of it! ]

I'll go get started on the Fantasy Cliff Notes, I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of blank notebooks around.

[pocketspa]

See, there we go, good-- good work ethic, Ango, you're gonna do great.

[He picks up his phone again to glance at his messages.]

Chaboy's gotta get back to some new studeeeeeeeents, how 'bout that?

[hellosirs]

Have fun with that, sir. Don't threaten to destroy any of them, please!

[ He gives Taako a big grin and a wave as he heads back to his room. This just in: praise and positive reinforcement are still the best things in the universe! ]

[pocketspa]

I reserve the right to threaten anyone, it's in my uh, terms of use or something!

[But he's not really paying attention to that quip, letting Angus go so he can work on getting people onboarded to his very first class.]
