fourth spell [video]

[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.

Oh, so you can make a giant public post about this, but you can't answer my texts?

[He's hurt. Hurt.]

[Kyna, of course, makes a farting noise right into the mic of her device.]

Transmutation sucks. We all know it.

[she looks vaguely perturbed]

I didn't think that magic could be learned. One is born a mage or they are not.

[ Sup, there's a knock at the door! ]

Sir! I understand that you were caught up in the moment, but you forgot to give me my phone back!

As if I didn't say that to him on the daily. Pretty much the first thing he hears every morning.

What is a...t-rex? Can magic really be taught? What if the person trying to learn has no previous knack for it? (It's hard for her to believe she can perform spells, but she would be lying if she said she wasn't interested.)

[She laughs.] You could have offered yourself. I didn't know you were interested in teaching.

[To be fair, she wouldn't have expected it of Taako, either.]

Weird flex but okay.

[she's just like that. though, she likes him at least a little, otherwise she wouldn't keep bothering him.

and she looks tempted, but]
I couldn't. If I used magic, law would require that I go to the Circle of Magi and I wouldn't be allowed to marry Alistair.

(This is magic he's talking about! Of course she has questions.)

Are they...common...on your world? (Could they come here?) I can give you all three, surely. What do you accept as payment? I don't expect anything for free.

What, it can't be all of the above? The kitchen work was pretty impressive, and considering all the bullshit we've seen here? I don't want to learn how to make a subpar fireball or something.

[She's absolutely buttering him up because they all know the size and quality of his ego, but he's right; that is part of the payment, unless Lup poaches her away.]
