So, uhhh, hey, fuck this place!

[Despite his words, Taako actually sounds more upbeat and alive than he has in a while. He sounds angry, but... alive and functional.]

Like, for real, seriously, though, fuck this place. I've got a world to save, and a sister to remember, and all that, and it's like, nope, time to go back to work at your other job, the one you didn't even sign up for!

[Taako's back, yall. Back physically and mentally!]

It's Steven! You're Taako, right? We didn't get to talk much before Portland, but...

[But they have this in common anyway.]

[tacosgay]

Got it in one, pumpkin.

... so, uh, hey... did you get home from that with some... strange new parts, or maybe a glowing face, or something like that as well, or was that just me?

[starseedling]

I kept the wings I had there... and I guess I have horns now, too. They're only sort of like the horns I had as a changeling, though.

And Childermass says I look like I'm a Summer Fae, now? It's all pretty weird.

[tacosgay]

Uh, yeah, my horns seem to've shrank, like, several sizes between here and Portland, which... honestly, I'm kind of okay with that. You don't know impossible until you've attempted to comb hair like mine with a pair of foot-long horns there, tangling everything up.

A Summer Fae... well, that's certainly not an unattractive look, at any rate.
