[the video cuts to this face, which doesn't seem particularly pleased. he has a cockney accent when he speaks somewhat dryly.]

So, bit of a problem with all this- and by all this I mean this ah... mystery realm, let's call it. Earth? Earth. Not connected to the Astral Plane, is it! I think. Or I'm not, which-

[there's what's clearly a wolf whistle in the background, and camera turns enough to show he's at a cafe and some pair of people in the distance go 'hey there goth guy!' kravitz turns the camera back to himself with a :| face and ignores this]

Which is a wee bit of a problem. I have a theory, this is some sort of purgatory dimension and all that 'please get me out of here' wishing I was making was some monkey's paw bullshit- pardon my cockney.

[he sighs as those cat callers probably waggle their eyebrows.] If only this was a big goof.

[get on taako's level, accessorize with snakes. kravitz chuckes.]

Hello, Taylor. Well, I'm somehow not surprised you've made yourself comfortable here, whatever exactly here is. Not much phases you, does it?

[and a sigh] So I'm coming to realize. How long have you been here, Taako?

[shittywizard]

Are you kidding? This place is chill as hell compared to home. I've basically been on vacation this whole time.

[ See, he says that, but he's still added like a dozen deaths to his count. ]

Anyway, it's been a couple— Wait... [ He counts on his fingers for a moment, then frowns. ] I guess it's been like a year almost, wow.

[cutthegoofs]

Oh, so you and your erstwhile companions haven't caused trouble after trouble while you've been here. I thought that was your Thing, as it were.

[and then he pauses, and squints] Taako... how many times have you died here? Because I seem to remember the last time I checked it was a lower number.

[shittywizard]

We haven't caused anything in ages. Actually, it's kind of amazing, and now that I've said it out loud, I bet something's gonna happen, so, thanks for that.

But yeah, okay, that haunted house thing did a number on me, sure. But remember: edge of the bowl.

[ He pauses for a moment, managing to keep the flicker of doubt from showing in his expression as he realizes that Kravitz could have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. ]

...You do remember that, right? At the Chug'N'Squeeze?

[cutthegoofs]

I'd say don't be ridiculous but I've seen you three in action. I may have doomed us all.

Haunted house? [ the most :/ face but he does nod, lips quirking very slightly] Yes, I recall that evening, and your strangely compelling argument about the bowl. Fine, I'll keep it in mind, but-

[hrgh he straightens] I would ask you do try to keep the deaths to a minimum, bowl edges or not. People do care about your well being. [???? who could he mean, so mysterious.]

[shittywizard]

[ He's relieved that Kravitz remembers their date, and not just because it means he's not going to be trying to Reap any of them. ]

Believe me, I'm over it! Dying sucks.

[cutthegoofs]

Tell that to your partners in death-crime. I don't think they got the same memo.

Wait, so we're all from different times, yes? Or could be, Merle was... well. Merle in explaining it. What do you remember?

[shittywizard]

Yeah, well, they're dipshits. No changing that.

[ He grins, though. ]

Well, I remember a couple bottles of Cabernet and some chilly hands.

[cutthegoofs]

I brought up the whole arm thing and regret it immensely.

[disturbing merle stuff aside, his lips quirk again.] Hard to wear gloves to cover it when you're rebelliously making bowls instead of the vases as the theme dictates. Let no one say you aren't something of a troublemaker in all areas, Taako.

And not precisely what I meant, unless the Chug'N'Squeeze is the last thing you remember.

[shittywizard]

I mean, pretty close? There was like half a day between that and my showing up here, and that's about it.

[cutthegoofs]

Ah, I see... I'm farther than you than, and Merle seems farther than that. What about Magnus Burnsides, any ideas there?

lmao i dont want to ruin the glory of the punching thread with telling when hes actually from

[shittywizard]

[ And all of a sudden, Taako looks annoyed. Clearly he's still a little miffed about the poop rock. ]

Oh, yeah, I have some idea, the dipshit.
