[video | un: SizzleItUp@LinkedIn]

[ A camera turns on and the possibly familiar face of Taako, America’s Favorite Wizard appears center screen, looking particularly well put together and sparkly for the audience today. He clears his throat, flips the end of his braid and launches into his intro: ]

Hail and well met, subscribers, it’s your good friend Taako here, and we’re going to be doing a little, hm, makeover for you today. If your regenerated body is feeling a little too new car smell, or you just want a dope new look, we have got the solution for you.

We’re just gonna run the tires on this bad boy a little.
[ He turns in his seat a little to check and see where Magnus is behind him, giving him a thumbs up. ] So, things you need are gonna be: one willing dude, and a broken beer bottle that the dude insisted on for authenticity. [ Turning around again. ] You know we can do this way easier with, like, one spell, right homie?

No, no. Tell your viewers - you’re not going to get the jagged edges with magic. Okay, so, first, you need to break your bottle. [And with that, he grabs a bottle of beer, pops off the top, shotguns the entire thing, and then smashes the empty bottle against the wall.] Ideally it’d be broken on a man’s skull, but we have to make do with what we have.

So you can add that to list. One man’s skull! For legal purposes, I’d like to say I am completely sober right now. Do not attempt inebriated. I mean, I’m not going to stop you, but could be dicey. [ Taking one of the gnarly looking shards from Magnus, and getting up from the chair - offering it to him so he is in good view of the camera. Not TOO good. Taako is still the star of this show. ] You ready?

Born ready! [Magnus sits down and closing both of his eyes. He takes one of his leather pouch buckles and putting it between his teeth to bite down on.]

[ Taako takes his time sizing up Magnus’ face, closing one eye, then the other, sticking his tongue out in concentration while hemming and hawing about the exact size and location of the scar, because he is preparing to do the best facsimile possible for his good and willing friend, who is also a huge idiot.

Then, with surprising artistry (he is a chef, he has knife skills, but maybe not Broken Glass proficiency), just slices the glass shard down over Magnus’ right eye. Which, you know, starts to bleed.
] Oh shit! Oh wow! That’s. That’s a lot. You’re a goosher. Just a lot of goosh. Okay! At this point you’re going to, uuuuuuh, I don’t know, this is out of my wheelhouse, muchacho. Slashing damage.

[Magnus spits the leather buckle out of his mouth, and lifts a hand to pat his bleeding face.] Maybe a healer, but not too good a healer? Don’t want to heal it all the way! Defeats the point. [He lifts up the hem of his shirt, so he can press it against his eye.]

[ Taako is definitely not helping stem any bleeding, because he’s busy trying to see where there’s blood on his clothes or hair. This is kind of his fault for wearing velvet to cut someone’s face open. ]

This is new, you know. Okay! So, rate, reply, and subscribe, t-shirts are available-- woah, there he goes gooshing again. And if you’re a healer - but not too good a healer! - Leave us your contact info.

[ The video stays running, because they’re both a little distracted, t b h. Casually, Taako addresses his heavily bleeding companion. ]

That’s a little ironic, right? The one thing he would have been great at! And he’s missed it.

[ Not unclear, he just stumbled into something that he, uh. Wasn't expecting. Personally. ]

U-um - right. Got it. Didn't - didn't realize that was...a thing. Uh - anyway - [ AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ] H-how did you get your scar, originally?

[ And let's just...ignore the fact that he just had a minor freak-out, that never happened. ]

Fought a guy! In a bar! Can't remember why. I was pretty drunk at the time. But we got in a fight, and then he slashed my face open, and we had a good laugh about it.

...Really? That's it?

[ Is that really a good enough scar story that it's worth getting it again?? ]

You could at least say a big nasty gave it to you or something, dude.
ruffboi: (and i'll do six attacks!)

[personal profile] ruffboi 2017-08-26 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. I've fought plenty enough big nasties to have stories about them. Don't need to make anything up! Got it in a bar fight, I was drunk, think maybe I was trying to stop somebody from getting hit? That sounds about right. It's not for the story, it's for letting everyone know I'm the type of guy who once did get slashed across the face with a broken bottle and could be down to go again. Like how you might get a hairstyle to show you might like to get invited to book club, or something.
punshots: (✘ thirds.)

[personal profile] punshots 2017-08-26 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Or that he's the type of guy that would have his buddy slash him across the face to imitate an old scar...okay. ]

- Hang on, is that what my hair really makes you think? [ Oh. That's vexing! ] I mean - book club? Ooor was that more of the, uh, royal "you"?

[ Is he even using that right? ]
ruffboi: (hit it with my axe 15)

[personal profile] ruffboi 2017-08-29 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, you don't like book club? How about, uh, craft beer festival? Amateur DJ lessons? Speed dating in an abandoned warehouse? I'm just saying, you're putting those vibes out into the world, and I'm putting my guy who gets in bar fights and carries a big sword vibe out into the world, and it's really the same thing.

[ Man...this guy needs to meet Gladio. They both enjoy big swords and ribbing Prompto, they'd get along famously. ]

Can't we just go with a...cool guy who uses guns instead of swords vibe for me? You know...a softie who can still kick ass when he needs to? That's kinda what I'm going for.

[ At least Magnus didn't say his hair looks like a chocobo butt...smh ]
ruffboi: (hit it with my axe 9)

[personal profile] ruffboi 2017-09-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, okay. Yeah, I can kind of see it. I'm trying to intimidate, you're trying to make it so it's impossible for anyone to be intimidated, so they'll be caught off guard. Yeah, I respect it.
punshots: (✘ retro.)

[personal profile] punshots 2017-09-03 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeaaaaah, that's exactly it! Thanks, man. I feel loads better now.

[ He's being 100% sincere. ]
