pretty sure if you see dick that's the signal
up to that point your only option is glaring. lots of glaring.

1/3

[spellslots]

consider this third option: im a wizrad

[spellslots]

wizard

[spellslots]

i am pretty fucking rad though

[franciscoramon]

[ Oh, Taako isn't just in a bar, he is in a bar. This should be fun. ]

you are. you're a rad wiz and there's no denying it.

[spellslots]

thank you cisco i knew you could be counted on to tell the truth about how amazing i am

whatcha up to, pumpkin? i thought this place would be more exciting but the couple doing some kinda octopus mimicry in the corner are about as exciting as shit gets right now

[franciscoramon]

[ Taako's clearly in a chatty mood and Cisco's more than happy to oblige. ]

now that's a vivid mental image i could've done without.
i honestly never got the public makeout thing, like, is it rudeness, is it exhibitionism, is it both???

working on my lucid dream goggles still.

[spellslots]

rudeness for sure, as someone with like, that thing, exhibitionism thing, they are not paying nearly enough attention to anyone else for it to be that.

hey! fucking awesome, my dude, its cool your working on that shit instead of ignoring it

[franciscoramon]

not sure if that makes it better or worse.

in theory.
thanks. don't be too proud of me, tho. i'm still fiddling with these things but they worked good enough to take them for a test drive days ago, i'm just putting it off.

[spellslots]

better cause youre not helping them get their rocks off just by being nearby

you should do the test drive, like short of it killing you whats the worst that could happen?

[franciscoramon]

i mean it didn't not almost kill me last time

[ He sends the message before he remembers that Taako's drunk enough to be missing basic typos and all the negatives in that sentence might give him a headache. ]

ok ok i'm exaggerating
i only almost had a stroke, caitlin woke me up and i was fine
it's no big deal i'm gonna figure out a safe way to do it and it'll all be copacetic

[spellslots]

hey

what the fuck

actually shit, wait. shhhh wait

im gonna get better at wizard shit real soon, like hella soon. and if u die i can bring u back

[franciscoramon]

that's super sweet, but don't crack open necromancy for dummies on my account ok?

i'm not about to kill my ass in some stupid experiment.

last time we were in a big hurry and none of us knew wtf was going on.

and you're already pretty good at wizard shit as far as i can tell.

[spellslots]

its not necromanyc!!!! its transmutation but i gotta get better

i used to be better but i forgot :(

[franciscoramon]

i thought all the stuff with dead people was necromancy?

[ Oh no, how can one colon and one parenthesis be so sad? ]

maybe it'll be easier to learn the second time? like remembering something rather than going through it brand new?

[spellslots]

nah its like

shit its like mega transmutation

turn a dead thing into a not dead thing

resurrection is also a healer thing not a necromancer thing, that's undead shit, you know?

it has been, before i remembered it was kinda weird how good i was at magic bceause im kinda stupid

[franciscoramon]

i guess that makes sense

[ It doesn't, but if Cisco didn't really get the arbitrary differences between schools of magic when Taako explained them stone cold sober, he doubts that he'll get them if Taako tries to explain more now. ]

be a useful thing to know how to do, as long as it wouldn't make the person an evil zombie or break the world or whatever.

[ If those are the side effects, it's just not worth it. ]

hey, you're not stupid!

there's a difference between not being an academically-inclined dude and being stupid.

that couple slobbering all over each other at the bar? stupid.
you? not stupid.

[spellslots]

no zombies! but it only works on the recently dead i cant just like bring back a skeleton, that'd be fucking wild

shhhh, listen. im just living my truth. i do a LOT of stupid shit

like a worrying amount

[franciscoramon]

how recently? just out of curiosity
i mean is it basically just magic cpr?

alright alright
if you insist
as long as you promise this is a proud owning-it thing and not a low self-esteem thing in a disguise

[spellslots]

10 days but it takes 8 hours to prep but i can do that any time

i've never had low self esteem in my life

[franciscoramon]

so way way more than just cpr, got it.

true.
i kind of like that about you.
i mean i'd still like you if you suddenly had low self-esteem but
i like that you like the way you are.

[ He doesn't need to be drunk to get sappy, welcome to being friends with Cisco Ramon. ]

[spellslots]

that's good because i think i fucked up like at least one friendship this week so it would be shitty if you didn't like me either

[wait fuck he didn't mean to say that]

[franciscoramon]

????
what happened, taako?

[spellslots]

i told lup what lucretia did to my memories

shes really mad

like really really mad

[franciscoramon]

[ Well, shit. ]

none of that's your fault.
she was going to find out one way or another.
better to just tell her than to hide it and for her to find out some awful way.

[ None of which changes the fact that Lup is angry (rightfully so), or makes the situation any better for anyone involved. ]

i know it's still messed up
i'm just saying YOU didn't mess it up
