[retellers]

If any of you gave good gifts, maybe.

[ theyre gonna throw it in the trash. ]

[uhhhmagic]

What the hell would a good gift to you even be? You don’t like anything, especially great artwork.

[Hey! GOING TO FISH IT OUT OF THE TRASH, THEN GIVING IT BACK.]

[retellers]

I don't want your dick.

[uhhhmagic]

You could only hope, my man.

[wow.]

Look, can you stop fucking around and get serious? You’re being so silly, it’s distracting.

[retellers]

How am I...

[ >:T hrmmmm ]

[uhhhmagic]

Get it together!

[Wolf, I am so sorry.]

Um— I heard what you told Lup and Soo-won.

[retellers]

Yeah, I figured.

[ they did give. express permission for it to be shared to taako. they still look tired, though ]

What do you want to ask?

[uhhhmagic]

Felt bad for me, huh? Look, I’m not gonna tell anyone else. I’m actually very good at keeping my trap shut.

[Sniping, sniping. Lup and Soo-won had said otherwise, but, there’s something about the wound that keeps popping its stitches on this issue.]

You learn that because your team was in the lead? Is that how you get new information?

[retellers]

I didn't. I just figured she'd end up telling you even after she told me she wouldn't.

[ so like, they always expected taako to know? it's fine. ]

No. First place doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to stuff like that.

[uhhhmagic]

If it helps, she didn’t. Soo-won did. So you can keep telling her secrets, that I will eventually find out. Don’t really know why you put us on different teams in the first place!

So what does matter, when it comes to stuff like that?

[retellers]

[ they do not even bother pointing out they did not make the choice ]

Lup and Soo-Won didn't tell you?

[ instead they probably destroy his singular feeling again ]

[uhhhmagic]

Like I said, Soo-Won dropped the hint and then I had to rules lawyer Lup into actually saying it.

[She would have shared eventually, Taako just has very very sensitive baby feelings.]

[retellers]

But they didn't share their theory on why I've got the info.

[ this is helping taako's sensitive baby feelings im sure ]

[uhhhmagic]

[It’s fine. It’s fine! It’s fine.]

Nope. Only that Fox might have it as well. And that sharing with lil’ old ignorant me might upset the Realm enough to ruin us all.

So that’s why I came here, to the source. I can make guesses. Maybe it’s that your two teams have killed enough to start unlocking that part of your memory?

[retellers]

...

I'm not interested in getting in the middle of whatever issues are there between you and anyone else. [ just, uh. gonna go over that. ] But it's not a matter of killing "enough".

[uhhhmagic]

No one’s asking you to mediate! If I wanted therapy, I’d ask . . . someone else.

[Sensitive,]

Killing . . . at all, then?

[retellers]

[ they sigh ]

They really could have just shared this theory with you. [ annoying ......... ] That's what they think, anyway.

[uhhhmagic]

Thank fuck I've got a huge hog and a huge brain so I managed to figure it out all on my lonesome then, right?

[STOP]

I guess that makes sense, though.

[retellers]

I don't want to know about your hog.

[uhhhmagic]

Just one of my many great features.

[I took a screencap of that and its now my favorite.]

So if you've gotten the most nova back all this time, you must have some actual memories back, right?

[retellers]

A couple. Why?

[uhhhmagic]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Jus' followin' the rules and all.

[retellers]

I'm not showing you anything.

[ but the innuendo addressed they do? share? ]

I'm a mercenary. There's not much else I've learned, memory wise.

[uhhhmagic]

Uh-huh. Cool memory dude! Lame. Gimme more than that.

[Arms crossed!!]

For example, I know you use a sword.

[retellers]

Yep.

[ now they are just doing it on purpose ]
