horny bois on the loose

[Or, rather, not so horny and not really on the loose at all, just crashing into a hotel room. Taako flops face down diagonally on the bed, so, deal with it Magnus.]

There's probably a way to win it back. They wouldn't take shit if they weren't going to hold it over our heads.

[Though, the price for it is going to be awful. And he can guess what it probably is.]

. . . Would suck if we managed to make it back only to just die again.

The way I'm thinking about it now is, I don't want to play their game. I'll go along with it, but I'm not playing, I'm wrecking their shit at the first, you know, souffle opportunity. But maybe there's going to be a time when we have to do what they want, and kill people. I don't like that, but if we had to.

[He doesn't have much of an answer to that. Thinking about it for a second, before deciding if he's going to continue.]

The thing is, usually, if we died, we'd just jump ship to another plane. But we can't this time - we've got too many people we couldn't take with us. Ango, Carey, Killian, hell, Merle has a family. But also, me? I can't jump ship again. I won't. This is the plane that had Julia.

Sauté. But I see your point, homie. Don't really see much of a point in making a stand on morality on this one - if it comes down to it.

[Just pausing when Magnus mentions the whole Dead Wife thing, but mostly his thoughts are on the people he actually knows. Angus and Carey and Killian and Merle's surprise family. There's a selfish little part of him that wants to say that's insane, that a measured retreat to save your own skin isn't a bad thing, but he knows he's outvoted on this one. Both by the others and his own, disgusting and disobedient as it is, conscious. There's no running for him if the others choose to stay.
It's all of them or none of them. ]

. . . Right. I mean, cart before the, y'know, horse here. Have to survive this before we start making plans to dramatically die yet again, or it'll start getting a bit old. Wearing out our brand.

I know, I know. We gotta go back and win. But if I did get killed in the big fight, and we won anyway, I don't need anyone to try and fix it.

[That's the point - Taako said it would suck to go home just to die right away, but that's what he expects will happen to him. As long as he's done his job, and kept his friends safe, that's okay.]

[chaoticlootral]

Well, a personal request, since I don't ask much of you, ever, [LOL] just maybe try a little harder not to die? Not saying, uh, slack on your job or anything, but, you know. If you wanted to stick around.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, okay. I'll give it a shot.

[He says it kind of like they're joking around, but he knows Taako isn't joking, and he isn't, either. He can't say no when he knows that's what his friends want.]
