[spellslots]

The nicest.

[Sometimes Taako is baffled out how he managed to befriend Cisco, the nicest person in existence, but he's grateful for it.]

No promises, sweetheart, cause I do have shit to actually use my magic for that isn't party tricks, but maybe if I'm feeling generous.

[volitaunt]

Of course.

[ That makes sense--Taako can turn people into stuff, there has to be more important applications for that kind of power. ] You think you could recommend someone or somewhere? There's a whole research institute here, isn't there?

[ He gonna make the birb happen. ]

[spellslots]

I'd hit up Gramayre, for sure, there's also uh, magical items that could allow it but you'd wanna get 'em checked out before using any. They peddle some crap here.

[He knows from experience. Crime experience.]

[volitaunt]

Would Gramayre check?

[ He hauls himself into a sitting position, bracing his elbows on his knees and propping his head in both hands. He grins at Taako. ] I guess I can ask at Gramayre.

[spellslots]

They do it for you, they're pretty good like that. And then you don't risk getting your ass cursed.

[Unlike some people.]

[volitaunt]

Speaking from experience? Was this that death cult thing?

[spellslots]

It's happened a couple times.

[dont @ him]

[volitaunt]

[ He will laugh @ him that's for sure. ]

Of course it did.

[spellslots]

Lost an arm once, fucking mess, but we were only a couple days out of resetting so it wasn't a huge issue.

[Taako that sentence makes no sense.]

[volitaunt]

[ It sure does not. ]

Is Resetting a med center?

[ Do u have a robot arm, Taako. Are you in fact a lost Skywalker heir. ]

[spellslots]

Oh, right, I forget this shit isn't common knowledge.

[It is on his world!!]

Uh, so, our cool ship that ran on the power of love also recreated our bodies at the start of every year. Like a save file in a computer, but us.

[volitaunt]

[ .............. ]

Your world is weird.

[spellslots]

Oh, nah, that's just us, our world wasn't that weird.

[They're just special! They're to protagonists!]

[volitaunt]

[ Okay. Just. Give him a second. So-- ]

Did you remember what happened before? When your bodies got recreated?

[spellslots]

Are you asking if I remember what death is like?

[Just checking whether Poe is after that, or after the specifics of how their resurrection worked.]

[volitaunt]

[ Poe presses his fingers to his temples. ]

I have no idea.

[ Give him a second. ]

I mean I guess--did you forget the last year, when you started a new one?

[ A pause. Now that Taako's brought it up, that question sits expanding in Poe's mind like a stormfront blowing up from a distant horizon. ]

...Do you?

[spellslots]

[He's fairly used to this, coming from people who live in more science based worlds, so his expression softens a little.]

Where I come from, the dead go to the astral plane, to the-- fuck, what did Kravtiz call it? There's a sea of souls, I guess? [Taako has seen the astral plane, and Kravtiz told him bits about it.] I dunno exactly what it's like in there, when we died it was just like... blackness for a split second and then we were back on the deck of the ship. But memories are kept in the soul, so we'd always still have those.

[There was one time, where it wasn't quite so instant, but he's not sure what to make of that, so he doesn't dwell on it.]

[volitaunt]

[ Poe repeats it under his breath: sea of souls. It sounds something like the Force, almost.

Regardless, he likes the idea. Of death meaning a person becomes part of some greater whole. ]

Doesn't sound like a bad way to go. The sea of souls. Of course, I'd rather have the blackness then popping back to life, but we can't all have magic spaceships.

[ CAVALIER DISREGARD OF EMOTIONS like he do. About some things, anyway. ]

[spellslots]

Everyone dies eventually, that's kind of the rules.

[Taako might joke about living forever, and he might have a good self-preservation instinct, but he isn't scared of death. It's an ending, but not the end.]

We just had shit to do first, you know? That's why we got those chances.

[volitaunt]

I know. [ For a moment his gaze goes distant, almost bleak. ] Believe me, I know.

[ He shakes it off. Because he always shakes it off. ]

The extra chances--I'm... [ Jealous, wish he could give the same to others, wishes... ] I'm glad you got them. I'm glad you all did.

[spellslots]

[Taako leans over to bump his shoulder against Poe's, because yeah, he gets this too.]

The universe chose seven fucking idiots to save it, but at least we managed it.

[It's nothing about them as people that got them those chances, god knows Taako doesn't deserve them, but they had to stop the Hunger and they were the only ones that could do it, because of their ship.]

[volitaunt]

[ That startles a laugh out of him. ]

Well. Hopefully me and mine can do the same.

[spellslots]

I'll be real with you, a lotta people here are going through the same kinda shit and it seems like most of 'em come out on top.

[He's had late night chat with Cisco about it, the types of people that get pulled in here. Obviously there are exceptions, differences, but a lot of them have some heavy shit going on back home.

Maybe that's what the portal picks up on; not a feeling of being out of place, but of someone who needs a goddamn break.]

[volitaunt]

[ If only Poe knew how to take a goddamn break. ]

A lot? [ That... actually doesn't surprise him, now that he's thinking about it. Now that he's mentally going through the people that he's met here. ] I wonder... I wonder why that is.

[ He shakes his head, banishing the question. He claps his hands against his knees and then levers himself to his feet. ] I should go.

[ A tiny pause. ] Thank you. Just--really, thank you.

[spellslots]

[Taako thinks: you'd have to ask the portal but doesn't really feel like going into that particular conversation right now, so he just shrugs instead.]

It's no biggie, I'm sure I'll find a good way to collect on that favor.

[People are useful, this is why Taako makes friends.]
