--SYSTEM INFORMATION--

Taako - OTA!
[Contrary to everything he's said so far, sometimes Taako likes to take it easy. Not that ice fishing in the middle of nowhere is easy, but he hasn't had enough downtime to fish in a long time. So anyone out on the ice tonight will find an elf, bundled up to the extremes with a bucket next to him as he sits and waits for a bite on his line. And while none of this would be unusual?
He's wreathed in a shield of flames as he sits, glowing brightly in the dim light like a beacon against the cold. Come bother a wizard while he works?]
B★ The
GivingIce Tree ★[He's heard the rumors of the tree that gives away free stuff in exchange for doing random things. So while it took him a good long while to get down here, he's finally made it.
....And has no idea what to do. Whoever is lucky enough to find him in this cave standing before the tree will have the unique privilege of watching Taako empty his pockets at the tree's roots. He dumps random objects in front of it and then looks up expectantly only to have nothing happen. A doll, a cup, a book with its cover missing, a ball of twine, a silver spoon? Nope.
There's a considerable pile of junk now and still Taako has nothing to show for it.]
Oh come on! There's gotta be something you want, you dumb tree!
C★ Melting Pot ★
[Now that he's taken over the Melting Pot, it's time to start testing new recipes. On certain nights during their time on the planet, Taako invites people he knows and sometimes just drags random strangers off the hallways of the Iskaulit to sit in the Melting Pot after hours. He sits them down at a table and points to a selection of three different tasting dishes: a small bowl of hearty stew, a poached fish with sauce, and a cut of what looks like beef wellington with a drizzle of red wine sauce.]
I'm taking a poll and you've been selected. Try these and tell me which one you think is best.
D★ Date Night [ Closed to Kravitz] ★
[Once he's got enough cash that he's fairly certain he can cover his half of a date - or an entire night drinking if he gets rejected - Taako sends a quick message to Kravitz's inbox. It's short, it's sweet, it's to the point, and it makes Taako's heart scream bloody murder as he waits for a response.]
Hey Boneman, you owe me a second date. You up for it tonight?
★ Wildcard ★
[Hit me up for anything you'd like to try out while they're on the planet!
A
So what's up, Taako? There's a fluffy little white wolf with black markings (or highlights?) shuffling her way towards your bucket, trying to sneak. She smells fish, what've you caught...?]
no subject
It's also nice to be alone, with his thoughts and his worries and all the little anxieties that he rarely lets get to him. ...Oh second thought, nope, scratch that. Taako yawns loudly and nudges his bucket, checking that the water hasn't frozen. He's got a few fish in there, but not enough to call it quits yet and nothing that seems like what he could potentially use as a main course for a freaking wedding eventually. He needs something bigger than a smallish alien looking trout, but so far no---???
He whips around as the hair on the back of his neck stand up, sensing approaching danger. And sure enough? There's a goddamn wolf about two meters out.]
.......fuuuuckkkkk......??? Nice doggy?
no subject
Instead she flops her body low into the snow, tail wagging, her head bowed, and shuffles slowly forward, trying to appear playful rather than ferocious. She's just here to annoy him, not scare him shitless. She is, in fact, a nice doggy! ...For now at least.]
no subject
It wags its tail at him and he watches it for a moment, then scans the ice around him. The wolf is acting tame but there doesn't seem to be an owner anywhere.]
....Mmmkay, well, I'm sorry, but if Timmy's fallen down a well, he's probably already frozen, my dude.
[He stands up anyway though, switching his seat around so he can keep an eye on the wolf and still keep fishing. He also makes sure to nudge his bucket closer to side as he moves.]
You lost or something?
no subject
With a low huff she straightens up and circles around, approaching the ice hole instead and pawing at. Go on, focus on your fishing! Don't mind her at all, she's not plotting anything at all, no sir.]
no subject
Did dogs eat fish?
There's nothing on his line right now, so he uses Mage Hand to hold it while he reaches into his bucket. He pulls out a smaller of the fish and holds it up, gauging its reaction.]
This what you're after?

D is for Date Night~ ♥
But hell if he's letting those thoughts get him down, and hell if he's turning down a date with Taako! He's all
sappysmiles when he responds. ]Tonight? Sure, I've got no plans. It'd be my pleasure.
[ Did that sound too non-chalant? --Er, well, until the last bit, maybe that was a bit much?? Or maybe it all evens itself out!! ]
no subject
But that doesn't mean he'll be any less cavalier as he replies ]
You bet it will be. You know that big ass castle they got? Meet me there at whatever passes for 6:30 on this weirdo planet.
no subject
[ It's amusing to him, anyway~ ]
I'll see you then. Can't wait.
[ Aaand since he figures Taako will want to be ~fashionably late~, Kravitz will be there right on time. ♥ He may not have the variety of suits he had back home, but he's managed to start a new collection already (especially on this planet) so he will of course be looking pretty damn sharp while he waits by the castle's front entrance. ]
no subject
So yeah, see you. And don't be late, mkay?
[Because that's Taako's gig. It's as Kravitz thought and, despite his own warning, Taako makes his grade entrance at a fashionably 10 minutes after Kravitz is at the castle's entrance. He arrives in his blue vest over a high-necked white blouse over tight black pants that make his ass look great, helped along by his gold-heeled boots. Over that he's got a black embroidered cape and some nice thick gloves to ward against the cold. Thankfully? They won't be out in long because this outfit is meant to be seen but not in below zero temperatures, and Taako is managing only because he's got a nice little warming spell going that will keep him from freezing to death long enough to get inside. How he manages heels on the icy roads is anyone's guess, but he's done it and with an easy grin, Taako slides on up to Kravitz, whistling at his attire.]
Damn, Krav, maybe I shoulda dressed up a little more. [He wouldn't of course. This was only their second date in his eyes, and going all out? Well...it'd make him seem to eager.]
You ready to test this place out? I heard it's supposed to be all about the luxury.
no subject
I could say the same, Taako... I guess if you step up your game, I'll just have to step up mine, too.
[ Not that he'd have a problem with that! But still. ]
I heard that, too. Do you think they'll be up to par?
[ His smile turns a touch bemused -- whether it is or it isn't, he's sure this is going to be quite interesting. He offers his arm to Taako, like a proper gentleman - ready to head inside. ]
no subject
[Just by a little bit; like 10,000%. With him this close, Kravitz might get some side benefit from the warming spells Taako's cast on himself.]
No idea about being up to par though, but seeing as I lived most of my life on the road, I've got hiiiigh expectations on what it should be.
[But thankfully this place? Seems to be living up to it. Inside the castle is warmer than outside, the halls lined with carpets that lead into all the different shops and to various exhibits about the royal family that once owned this castle. There are quite a few decorations up for the holidays it looks like, and a comparable number of people here to look at them and the rest of the place. Looks like it'll be a bit of crowd in here.]
Not bad. Very...royal?

b.
Thor hears Taako's rampant tossing of items well before he turns the corner and sees him, and the offending tree. He stops, hearing the elf rant in frustration. He can't help but grin as he steps through the opening into the area proper.]
Is that it then? The legendary tree?
[Because it would be pretty funny if it was just a regular tree.]
no subject
Nah, it's an elven tradition to just dump shit at trees for no reason.
[He looks up at the tree again and nope, no reaction. This is obviously the legendary tree and after his snarky remark, he rolls his eyes and turns to regard Thor with a friendlier attitude.]
Maybe you'll have better luck with this thing than I have.
no subject
Was it meant to be giving the tree something? I thought it was the tree that was meant to offer a gift.
no subject
[He digs into his pockets again and comes up with a stick with colorful candy wrapped around one end. Mmmmm, he wanted to eat this, so nope, back into his pocket it goes. He keeps searching.]
Something something "unburden yourself" and the tree's supposed to give you something in return. But so far it's been nada, zilch, zippo for ya boy here.
no subject
no subject
[He's not giving love to a dumb plant, even if he knows that's not what Thor meant at all.]

That aside, this is one of those rare times she's attempting to look into a few wardrobe updates for herself. ... It's cold, and this planet actually has nicer clothing articles than what she had been making do with from systems past.
To that end, she's looking at a selection of cloaks first. The prices aren't too bad, but she's taking her time with deciding, either because she's just slow in general or she's distracted, anything could be the case with her.]
no subject
Which is why Taako is here today. He's got a coupon for 20% off and he's going to put it to goo--]
Holy shit, you come off the ships?
[He spies Haggar and doesn't even bother saying hello, whipping back around one rack of cloaks he'd just passed by.]
Color me surprised to see you untethered to your dark cave up there.
no subject
[Shopping on her own is still new for her. She hadn't really gotten into it, herself--it was easier, letting Katie drag her around and help her out back then, when she was all nice and disguised as her twin, but now Katie was gone and she couldn't even disguise properly anyway, not with those glowy markings not wanting to be concealed even with her best efforts. Leave it to a magic planet to do all that.]
Occasionally there is... some merit in seeing what a planet has to offer.
[Wryness in her even tone? A touch of it.]
no subject
[He laughs easily, even if Haggar doesn't. He notes how the markings light up on her face with some interest, but figures it has to do with her being a magical space elf on a magical planet. He's been having a weird buzzing in his skull since they got close to this system, so he should probably be thankful he hasn't lit up like a Candlenights tree.]
It isn't made of garbage, so yeah, all in all, this planet is a frozen ball, but it's got some greeeeeat taste. [And he's been reveling in the attention the locals like to give him with their party invitations and praise and little gifts. He's picked up a lot of trinkets and things to pack into his room since arriving here.]
So you lookin' for something in particular? Like a color that doesn't scream "drow-in-training" or "I haven't seen the sun in 400 years"?
no subject
It seemed like a good opportunity.
[Since this isn't a planet made of garbage. Although it's not like she didn't get some items out of that, at least. Just not anything at all where wardrobe updating was concerned. And so she gives a small shrug at his question.]
I am not certain what I want... but something new would be nice.
[Hence her slowness at looking at the merchandise. Even her current outfit was only a long black dress with a wrap accompanying it. Not much to keep warm with. Or very colorful. But she wasn't about to wear her very distinctive robes, and it had been some time since she had last worn them anyway.]
no subject
[She always looked like she was going to a funeral though. Taako doesn't even ask her size or what she likes because he knows she'll hem and haw or just not tell him.
He reaches into a nearby rack and pulls out a blue cloak, then a red one, then puts them both back. The bright colors will look too harsh on her skin tone against the black dress. He grabs a gray half cloak lined with pale pink fur that boasts panels of a deeper salmon pink, dusty rose, and an aquamarine blue to give it a thick striped pattern. He holds it up to her, then grabs a dusky green kneelength wraparound cloak. It has some nice floral embellishments at the corners.
These he thrusts into Haggar's hands without asking.]
Try these.
