Who: Taako and all y'all
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, Planetside
When: Now

[The video camera shows an open field planetside, obviously cultivated and fenced in, and currently occupied by a rather large herd of the fluffy behemoth sheep known as flouds that roam carefree as they chomp down on grass. It's quiet for a moment and then the familiar lilt of Taako's voice breaks the idyllic calm of flouds bleating aimlessly.]

Unacceptable.

[His finger comes into view, pointing at one of the faraway beasts.]

They're in danger constantly [Read: rarely] of being eaten by massive lizard monsters and they don't even pen them in properly.

[A floud bleats and flops over in some tall grass, which Taako gestures to wildly, bracelets jangling on his wrist against his silver bracer.]

Look at them! Poor sods. No idea when their brief littl-- well, I guess huge, but whatever, size isn't-- well it is, but the point stands! Their brief lives are in danger and they have no clue.

So! I'm liberating [read: stealing] a few of them from this hellhole of gigantism to the lap of luxury up on the Iskaulit.

Who's with me?

[ Guess who is impressionable! This one. She gasps. ]

Oh my gosh, you're right!! I already was thinking I wanted to keep one if I could... I know how to make mass quantities of their food and everything, so I know I could take care of one! But I didn't even think about how they're kind of in danger here!

[Hooked one sucker already - this is perfect.]

It's a tragedy, honestly. Have you seen the help wanted ads? So many of them are for people who can't care for these poor [stupid animals] things and keep them safe from the lizard monsters. A lot of them have already been eaten. We'd be doing them a service, honestly.

[appletart]

Yes, I've taken a few of those jobs already... I was so glad to help.

So do you think they'd be better off with us?

Sounds like trouble. [read: fun] When do we start?

text;

[abracafcku]

Anytime you're available, babe. Taako's ready to start the floud liberation at the drop of a hat.

[sinistral]

Any plans to get them where we need them to be? They look pretty big for the shuttles.

video!

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose frowns. She certainly understands where Taako is coming from, but the other is taking it a little too far, in her opinion.]

And how will being caged on the Iskaulit be better for them, exactly? How will they get fed? This reeks of a poor idea.

video!

[abracafcku]

Who said they'd be caged? We got a whole dang mountain on that big ass ship, so why not a few big ass sheep, too?

Food's already taken care of, too, so now who looks like a Doubting Debbie, huh?

Re: video!

[poisontippedcure]

As big as the Iskaulit is, I still doubt it's enough for all those animals. Besides, what happens if they get out.

[The Debbie Downer is her. It is always her.]

[twosoul]

[What up, it's a resident cheerful-sounding blue dude.]

I'm in. Will they fit in a shuttle or do we gotta land a ship on planet and herd them into it?

video;

[abracafcku]

Mmmmm the smaller of 'em might fit on the shuttle, but probably just one per. Might be faster to bring a ship down and lug off two or three at a time.

[He squints at the field.]

Probably more like two.

[twosoul]

Depending how empty the cargo bay is. Right. Know any pilots?

Also, I totally heard there are some pink flouds. Gotta make sure we get at least one of them.

_{[ He wasn't even surprised Taako was trying to something like this. Considering how he had first met the other and that ridiculous song he had put on replay on the Marsiva... this seemed exactly like what he would do. And honestly, he wasn't going to try and stop it. ]}

If I might ask, what part of the Iskaulit counts as the 'lap of luxury'?

_{[ He'll just be standing here, watching, curious to see how this is actually going to go down because what else did he have to do today? ]}

action;

[abracafcku]

[Taako is leaning over the fence of the floud enclosure, trying to entice one of the big animals forward with some grass and it's...not working. There's grass everywhere. Stupid things.

When he hears Kirk talk to him, he glances back over his shoulder and laughs, shrugging.]

The part where they won't get eaten by giant dinosaurs anymore?

Video

[goldenglasses]

[He sounds completely un-amused and unimpressed.] And how do you expect to keep the ones you liberate fed and cared for?

Video

[abracafcku]

Taken care of, Broomstick. I got a volunteer to make the food already - mass produced even. So that's not a problem.

Video

[goldenglasses]

Wh- wait. Really? You've thought that far ahead already?

text;

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

You just want a giant sheep to keep. You're not very subtle.

text;

[abracafcku]

Uh, duh? Who wouldn't want a giant walking bed to carry you everywhere? This, plus that onesie? I'm going to be sleeping in style.

Re: text;

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

But couldn't you just use magic to make a wool blanket to fly you around like a magic carpet? It wouldn't require feeding or smell?

[child_of_luv]

We couldn't possibly care for them all, though, could we?

[abracafcku]

Not for like, 80 of them, but six or seven? Probably.

[Maybe.]

[child_of_luv]

Hm. Well, they are something of a resource, too, so I guess it wouldn't be all that bad.

[hymnals]

[Hmm.]

Are you a farmer?

[abracafcku]

[Get the most deadpan look ever. He's wearing a wizard's hat adorned with flowers and jewels, gold jewelry in his hair and ears, a lacy billowing blouse under a tight embroidered vest and a sash for a belt over a pair of tight pants and high-heeled ankle boots.]

....Do I look like a farmer, kemosabe?
