week 0, monday

[retellers]

[ The good news is that Taako doesn't have to wait long before the stars seem to sparkle and there's a voice behind him: ]

Hiii! [ they clap their hands together. swan seems... eager ] I'm Swan, it's so nice to meet you!

[ he hasn't said anything yet. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Oh, great, you're chipper.

[Holding out a hand, though it's in that way where it's like a princess instead of a handshake.]

Still no real names, huh?

week 0, sunday

[retellers]

[ Very similarly to last time, there's a flash of light before Swan shows up, nearly immediate in response to Taako's wish. ]

Hi.

[ They sound a lot less enthused than last time, though. In fact they sound... frustrated. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Yo.

[Just sitting down. Is it on the floor? I think there's literally just the floor, so. Sitting on the floor.]

Hey, so why do the other three sort of, uh, front the operation? There a reason?

week 0, sunday

[retellers]

[ There is a text notification on Taako's PHS. It reads "outside". Once Taako walks out, he'll find Wolf near the entrance of the Planetarium. ]

... Thanks for the... baking.

[ Which unless taako brought outside wolf has not touched yet, but that's fine, it's the thought that makes them uncomfortable. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Can't be seen with me in there? Weird.

[Taako did not, in fact, bring the baked goods outside, so they'll have to go uncomfortably pick them up later.]

week 1, sunday

[retellers]

[ taako receives a message that just says: forest.

... i'm not going to make taako search the entire forest for goat, but because it's taako, i have to ask: would he actually bother with an attempt or would he give up right then and there. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[yeah what the HELL goat he was even gonna give ya a "greatest of all time" joke but now you haven't earned it



jesus i really had to think about this but honestly the answer is no. he would not search the friggin' forest. he is just resubmitting the request. fuck.]

week 1, sunday

[retellers]

[ Taako's probably used to it by now, but here comes that Swan teleporting trick. They look fine, despite spending a lot of time ramming into a wall recently. ]

Hey, Taako. [ they peer at the offering and get immediately distracted ] Biscuit! Yesss. [ BISCUIT GET ] You're so good at baking.

[ they haven't even eaten it yet they're just remembering the pastry from last time ]

[uhhhmagic]

Uh-huh, I know, but you can tell me again some more if you want.

[wow.]

week 1, sunday

[retellers]

[ Once again ... Wolf is telling Taako to meet them outside. It literally does just read "outside". ]

Something you want?

[ they are down to business and ignoring the biscuit if taako. even brought it out. most likely they will have to go get it in shame i assume ]

[uhhhmagic]

[STOP REJECTING HIS LOVE LANGUAGE, WOLF.]

Don't like baking?

week 2, tuesday

[retellers]

[ you know the sparkly drill by now ]

Taako! Two days in a row? To what do I owe this honor?

[ with the shit-eating grin of a person who cheated ]

[uhhhmagic]

Rats, I think.

[Wow!]

week 3, monday

[retellers]

[ swan voice: i am once again teleporting to your location

also they are immediately putting a single gold star sticker on taako's cheek? surprise? why. ]

Hey, Taako! Ooh little pastries.

[ as always, the nom nom is immediate. the reaction. will be in another tag. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[He does seem to enjoy his Gold Sticker. Just for being wonderful? Wow.]

I—- can’t taste anything this week. Just so you’re, like, aware and stuff.

week 3, wednesday

[retellers]

[ one day taako will get an answering text from wolf that doesn't just say "outside"

one day... ]

Hey. Something you wanted?

[uhhhmagic]

Why do you always make me walk? Can’t just meet me somewhere I wanna be?

[If wolf isn’t taking the paper, just. Putting it in their hands. Take it!!!]

week 3, wednesday

[retellers]

[ taako will receive a message: forest oh no. i will go there.

be proud of goat, they remembered taako won't look for them. some time after, goat appears into the planetarium. ]

[uhhhmagic]

Hey.

[Someone has a look on their face, like they’re here to try and cause chaos? This is probably fine, right.]

week 4, monday

[retellers]

[ t e l e p o r t ]

Hi, Taako. [ they peer up at him, looking unsure ] How are you?

[uhhhmagic]

Fine, just.

[Pinching the bridge of his nose.]

A migraine. Everyone here can be so fucking annoying, you know?

week 4, monday

[retellers]

[ can you BELIEVE wolf is actually stepping foot in the planetarium? incredible. powerful. ]

Hey.

[ hello, twin who forgot his twin ]

[uhhhmagic]

[Waving!!! He actually seems very excitable about something, digging in his pockets and pulling out . . . a knife!!!!!!!]

I got a weapon! I don't really know where. I think I just woke up with it? But, cool, right?

week 4, monday

[retellers]

[ taako will receive a message telling him to go the inn kitchen.

there, fox is brewing some tea, though they look up when taako enters. ]

[uhhhmagic]

You guys are very into tea, aren’t you? Just in general I suppose. Buncha weird tea drinkers. What’s up with that?

Taako! [ they are vibrating in place like they want to hug him but are RESISTING ] You worried me out there.

[retellers]

[ taako will get a text telling him to go to the bridge.

tiger is there, sitting on the railing. ]

[uhhhmagic]

[Taako just walks up, stands about five feet away. Crosses his arms. Uncrosses his arms. Crosses his arms.]

. . . You know. I don’t know that I can do this one.

week 5, tuesday

[retellers]

[ taako will receive a message telling him to wait where he is.

after a while, fox shows up at the planetarium, knocking politely on the doorframe to catch his attention. ]

[retellers]

[ teleport swan is here ]

Hi, Taako! What's up?

[uhhhmagic]

Hey. I need a favor.

week 6, sunday

[glitterbomber]

[ taako doesn't like hugs but by god does she look like she wants to give one, vibrating in place when she teleports ]

Taako... Are you okay?

[uhhhmagic]

[I think they're at the point that he wouldn't actively stop a hug, which is really the best place he ever gets in regards to them. Mostly he just seems tired.]

. . . Really thought that one might work.
