Sometimes you end up at the wrong place wrong time, get taken down the bullshit whirlpool to the fuck zone, and you gotta roll with that. It can be designed to suck, but not targeted.

TAAKO |
Chef. Wizard. One of the seven birds in red flying between universes. Here in Ryslig Taako feels like very few of those things, having been stripped of most of his magic and nearly anything he could describe as 'responsibility', but it's something he's learning to get used to. Now that the initial transformations are over, he's beginning to sit comfortably in the idea that Lup is with him and this is just another world- or well, sort of. Taako's got one main focus in Ryslig at this point- break the hell out. Going back to his world isn't necessarily a priority, but wouldn't be the worst thing as long as Lup comes with him. His plan so far is to stoke the fires of the people who can make that change happen, while taking every opportunity to make his life comfortable and flip off the ones who brought him here. If he's good at anything, he's good at making people regret the day they messed with him. |

Drop the pain into the bottom of the sea
I left my problems and my past behind me
I told myself that I won't fall
But I know I really haven't changed at all
Tell me what I want to hear
But I will always be the same
Casting out a line
Looking for a sign
Trying to convince myself that everything is fine
Got to make a change
Before they read my mind
I'll keep fishin'
The pain pulls me to the bottom of the sea
My problems always seem to catch up to me
I don't mean to fish and moan
But in the end I always swim alone
Tell me what I want to hear
But I will always be the same
Look around and see that no one’s looking back
These haunting words I can’t forget
They say this loneliness lasts only for a time
But I can’t see the end quite yet
Of course, because of this, the more Taako finds out about him the more he's realizing they share a lot- and fit together surprisingly well. While their banter is entertaining, Taako always finds something about Juno that surprises him, capped off by the fact that Juno seems to Aggressively Care about him. Normally, this wouldn't be such a big deal... if he wasn't a little afraid of some emotions he's caught himself having back. Taako knows better than most that there's no point to getting attached to people in these planes, and yet he finds himself slipping into thinking he can let Juno in before closing himself back up.
One day, they both might know what some of those emotions mean.
