What's up, my dude, it's ya boy Taako with two super quick questions.

1) Could you rec me like, a movie for a chill date? Doesn't have to be a romance or whatever, just something fun.


[He doesn't know that Cisco knows about him and Eddie, so he doesn't expect any dots to be connected. Cisco just seems to know his stuff re: films.]

2) Do you know anything about alternate realities?
spellslots: DNT (pop that pretty question right now baby)

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-05-12 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clark showed him the Princess Bride at one point (Taako loved it) but he makes a note of the other two.]

Thanks, my dude, I'll check em out and see what looks good

[And then, well, this is the harder part:]

Turns out I'm actually from an organisation that created a ship to travel to different planes of reality to study them, and it worked? which was the real shock. I've been to about a hundred or so of those fuckers, but I've never seen anything like the portal and my science guy isssss a) a lich and b) not here. Figured it could not hurt to ask.

[He decides not to mention the Hunger just yet.]

Is it spooky scary or gore scary?

[He could just google it, but Cisco is here and seems to continue to have decent movie opinions so he might as well get that input rather than trusting the internet.]

I mean, I was part of the crew not the engineering team, you know? Lup dragged me to the academy and we graduated like top of the class cause we're fucking great. The ship was... (wait for it)

Powered by friendship ;)

Pretty cheesy, right?


[It's easier to talk about it like this, to focus on the good things rather than everything that went just so horribly wrong.]

A lich is kinda like a fucked up ghost. It happens when someone uses pretty dark magic to keep their spirit alive. I dunno what happened to Barry but he's.. yeah. It kinda sucks.

[Barold why :(]

Oh! The portal used to be alive and now it's being supported by the moon? That's the latest scoop from Taako.

My dude, I have been eaten alive. I get enough gore in my everyday life.

[Why is his life like this???]

I'd forgotten about the whole academy thing when I started my cooking show, but yeah, Lup and I cooked on the ship. There were only seven of us, someone had to make sure those dipshits didn't starve.

And I'm not fucking with you, I know that sounds like a thing I'd do, but with the Light (super long story) the scientists and arcanists discovered that everything in the universe was connected by bonds. It covers shit like magnetic energy, gravity, all that science stuff, but it also includes the bonds between any two people. They made an engine out of it.

My Barold wasn't really into dark magic either. Things got pretty screwed up.


[Yes his name is Barold is that not normal???]

Magic! A spell called legend lore, let's me learn forgotten lore about an object, I cast it on the portal.

We got eaten by bugs, it was pretty quick, way less painful than uh. Well I've died a few times? Getting eaten alive in like five seconds is way less shitty than bleeding out!

[Welcome to 'flippancy about horrible circumstances', a novel by Taako.]

I've got a few centuries under my belt, enough that putting an exact year on it isn't easy.

[Plus the whole century on the Starblaster, but that's... complicated.]

It was pretty neat, I will admit. We saw a lotta cool shit, like talking animals and robot people.

[He can talk Mongoose it's great.]

It works on people who are famous enough to have legends about them? It's not pulling shit outta thin air, it's tapping into what's already known. There's probably some bullshit about the mythology of people and how stories shape their existence but I don't really care it's just a handy spell.

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-05-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
It was Groundhog day, like the movie? for the bugs, all magic time travel shit. The other times are cause we're sorta like... coded into our ship? Whenever we left the plan we'd "reset" to the body we'd been when we first took off, even if we'd died.

Oh, yeah, I guess that'd be weird for you.
[Humans in his world are used to having shorter lives] If it helps I'm like, the elf equivalent of 30! We don't hit proper adulthood until a century.

[Elves, man.]

The robots used to be people, their souls got put in a robot body? They were rad.

[They're all super dead!!!]

You know what, that's a pretty tidy way to put it. Less my brain and more just magic, but yeah, close enough. If you were super famous I could do you, but if you're just some dude it's not gonna turn anything up, you know?

So, when I was talking about improving roombas? I wanted to talk about how we had AIs to help us with basically everything on my planet.

From medical care to household chores. Fact: Kelex cooked better than my father did.


( A beat. )

I know Star trek has Data, but I'm wondering if your Earth has anything remotely like what I knew growing up. Or if we could build it.

That'd be a fun challenge!


( And he doesn't need her to do it; she well knows what he's capable of. But it'd be nice to contribute anyway. )
spellslots: DNT (to misbehave)

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-05-20 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much immortal, yup.
Uh, if I died here my soul would have to get back to the world the ship is in? I think? Memories are part of your soul, not your body, so like, we remembered all the shit from the years we went through.


[Well, when the voidfish isn't taken into consideration, but that's a whole... other... thing]

Kiiind of, there's a whole coming of age thing and new names blahblahblah. We weren't really into elf culture, we're too cool for that shit.

[And Lup had already picked a new name, but that's not the kind of shit to share with strangers.]

Oh! I got a spell called Identify that does that with any magic items, tells me what spell made/is on them and how to use them. Psychometry sounds pretty fucking useful, though.

[personal profile] clobbers 2017-05-22 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Cisco. It means a lot to hear. See? Read. You know what I mean. Earth is pretty great, too.

( Both versions I've been seen. She appreciates it, though it's not hard to admit that both planets had and have their share of pros and cons. )

Really?! Wow! That's amazing, since somehow I thought Barry was more into biology and chemistry than engineering. Is the AI itself a creepazoid?

Like what? The DEO found a program stowed in the pod that brought me to Earth. It held an AI of my mother. Not her, but her thoughts and knowledge; living memory.

[personal profile] clobbers 2017-05-23 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
That's the same Barry I know, too. Maybe he'll speed read the texts for an engineering major sometime? Idk.

Wait, that's new. How was it spying on you guys?


( And Dr. Wells—as in the H.R. Wells she'd met during the invasion? Kara has trouble seeing that man capable of that. That man's too... bubbly? Is that the right word?

Who knows. )


No, but my cousin has his. Yeah—there's two of us, and he said I could tell you. He said he got his through the portal, so that might happen for me, too.

I'd like that! If I'm lucky enough to get it back, you can spend all the time with her you like. Uh, I mean... whoops.

I still call it 'mom.' I don't know if that's weird. Makes me feel less alone.
spellslots: DNT (pop that pretty question right now baby)

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-05-24 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty shit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but thanks

[Don't get him wrong, he's super glad they're not dead after all the... dying, but after 100 cycles of it, they were all just really tired, enough to risk breaking the light apart just so that they could stop running.]

Me and Lup would do shit on our birthday sometimes but yeah, you get pretty over it. Half the time we'd just compete to see who could make the sickest cake. When we were little it was always who could steal the coolest shit. I always won.

[Because he had way less morals than her.]

That was the least committal response ever, just saying.

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-05-25 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Thief might be overselling it, my dude. [Partly because it's like, part of a class in d&d and Taako is definitely not a rogue.] The trick is having a good distraction.

[Casually talking about crime like it's nbd]

I'll pay that, that would be shit.

[Which has never been a concern for him; sure there are spells that can backfire, but it's always been about learning and practising to get more power, never having something raw that needed to be controlled.]

This is thing with metahumans, huh? Learning to get a hold of that shit?

[personal profile] clobbers 2017-05-25 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
So this weirdo just made 1984 into a reality?? Uhhhh he's somewhere far away, right? From you, Barry, CCPD, Star Labs... all of you? Because that's setting off alarm bells and also makes me want to hit him really hard.

Gideon was probably altered. That happened with Kelex, the robot who typically helps out at the Fortress. Henshaw reprogrammed him to attack me on sight, and I had to, uh. Fry him. It was him or me, and it wasn't gonna be me.

Yeah, from home. His pod arrived on schedule, so he was adopted by a great family and raised among humans. I was thirteen. My pod was knocked off-course and I got stuck in the Phantom Zone, for about 24 years. he was already out there saving the day while i was in middle school. Awkward!

Memories and knowledge, yeah. Apparently not emotions. I asked her for a hug the first time I saw her and I got "I'm not programmed to do that." Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. If that program ever comes through the portal, you can take as long as you need to figure out how she works.
