First Breath

1. Kitchen
[The Marsiva had become boring after the first day of having absolutely nothing to do. He'd spent the time trying to understand what was going on, and then decided napping was probably the best thing since he was stuck anyway. Which is why he was in the middle of a trance-like nap when the Atroma jingle went off and he exploded onto the First Breath's kitchen with confetti and questionable looking chocolate pudding cups.

Taako blinked, then dusted the confetti off his clothes and wizard's hat. The first thing he saw was the sad state of this kitchen, and Taako put his hands on his hips with a sigh.]

Is this seriously what they want me to work with?

2. Cargo: Salvage
[After settling into the crew, Taako immediately went out salvaging. Something about that seemed to be the right thing to do, so he is dragging bits of metal sheeting, wires, robot parts, and sacks full of gears and pieces into the cargo hold. The planet is basically made for looting, so he's doing his level best to loot the shit out of it. He also has a Mage Hand - an invisible force - carrying several lush looking throw pillows trimmed in various colored fringe and blankets.

When he comes onto the ship, when he sees someone in here, he immediately motions to them.]

You, person whose name I totally remember, go grab the rest of this, hm? I'm not exactly the brawn type.

Planetside

1. Shopping
[You cannot expect Taako to go to a world of literal shopping and not come back with all the craziest shit. But sadly, he does not have a lot of money since he is recently arrived and was not part of this cargo haul that apparently got some people money and others not so much. Which means Taako has to do what Taako does best and improvise.

And he's doing a goddamn God Tier job at it. He's getting new outfits pieced together from clothing crates lost to the dumps, he's getting new throw pillows, blankets, random knick-knacks, and he's trying to find some goddamn weapons just because how bitchin' would it be to roll around the galaxy with a pair of machine guns strapped to his back? Totally, that's how much.

But he still has no money, so he'll slide over to the closest person in the same store as him and smile.]

Hey there, thug, you wanna help me with something?

2. Arena - Locked to Lup
[He could fight here, but why go through the effort? It's so much easier to wait until he sees a good bet and then toss as much of the Charmed credit he's earned so far straight into it. If he loses? Oh well. If he wins? Hell yeah.

So the second he sees Lup enter the arena, he knows exactly what to do. He bets every single credit he's earned so far on her winning. He highly doubts anyone here could conquer her level of spellcasting and the utter destruction he has a feeling she's capable of doing. Most people here relied on melee combat and, well, wizards are made for smashing from afar. This is also a good way to check what she's capable of and she did not disappoint.

Once the battle is over, he waits down by the fighters' exit, leaning up against the wall with a pocket full of credits.]

Nice job, Destructo.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Thankfully, not too many.

[ they lost their final fantasies recently. ]

There is myself, Haggar and Tyrion. Sometimes, my brother comes by but he rarely lingers here.

[Brother? ....Holy shit, are there more gods here?????

Taako plays it casual and nods. Five maximum? Easy peasy. He used to cook for dozens at a time. Five is a nice adventurer number, too, the size of a lot of troupes he attached himself to as a child. Not hard to do. He's already planning a menu in his head for his first week here.]

Any deets you can drop about them? Just so I'm not makin' meat for a vegetarian or anything.

[ what could he even say about haggar and tyrion . . . ? ]

Tyrion is an annoying dwarf-sized man and Haggar is some kind of witch.

[....Taako bursts out laughing. That is the best description ever. It's succinct, to the point, and it lets him know just how much Loki actually knows about his crew. He knows an annoying dwarf, too, so he thinks maybe he'll like this Tyrion.

Also witches? Sure. He's a wizard, he can get along with them.]

Cool, cool, so we're literally fantasy in space. Good to know.

[ his brow furrows. so like . . . normal space??? ]

If you say so.

[Sorry, Loki. You're from a genre-crossing canon.]

Just tell me - this Tyrion doesn't have a strange affinity for plants, does he?

Not that I'm aware of. I know very little of him beyond his desire to be contrary at all times for no reason.

[Thank god. He isn't sure he could deal with two vine-fuckers. It'd be just his luck though.

He shrugs and nods.]

Being contrary might be his hobby. No shame.

That does not make it any less irritating.

Well that's the point, isn't it? If he isn't annoying, he can't be called contrary.

Then there's little point to him if that's what he's aiming for.

Okay there, Grimdark.

[Taako holds his hands up, palms out.]

Now I'm not saying you're wrong, seeing how I don't know him, but that's a little extreme, doncha think?

Is it?

[ extreme is stabbing someone. more or less. ]

[Taako shrugs.]

Depends on how much he annoys me eventually.

[ wryly. ]

Give it time.

Well, I could always annoy him back and give him the same curse I have.

[ ooooh curses. ]

What kind of curse?

Everything he drinks tastes like Lime Go-Gurt. Which is cool when you're a kid?

[He waves a hand dismissively.]

Noooot so much when you're over 200 years old.
