Yeah, my room is great for exactly that reason! Not a single smelly animal or crustacean to be found-- Hey, though, there's probably a decent soup to be made with that if it comes down to it.
[Just assuming Magnus will follow. At least there's room to roam with some privacy out here now that they're off the bus.]
[Then he stops himself. Holding up a finger while he flips through the rulebook again, and thinks, um, this one over.]
It should be your most heavily guarded secret. Um. Shit. I don't know what they want with us, or how this works yet, or whether we'll get fucked up instantly for sharing that shit. Listen, let's try and find some deets out first, like what happens if you spill the beans. And if we do, we only tell each other. Got it?
You got it. I don't trust this situation like, at all? And everyone's got murder-y experience, so the second things start to break bad, they'll break really bad.
I won't say anything yet, but the way my thing is worded doesn't give me much confidence in the whole 'not a murder game' thing.
Tell me-- Hah! Fuck. Tell me about it. Seriously. Can't wait for this to get bloody. That's a joke by the way. I am truly terrified to my core about what's in store! Haha.
[Good joke Taako.]
But you'll keep a lid on it, right? If someone tricksy tries to ask you, you lie. Know a couple of people around here who know that move, trying to get you to leak info by giving you their info, but it's fake.
And it ain't mine either, so we can both agree we've got some expertise on the subject, right?
[Just. Reaching to patpat Magnus on the arm. Wow.]
I'm not saying you have to. I'm only saying you can't start breaking the rules until you know how they work, and these things don't start playing out until the time is right.
[Taako's really gonna make him drag it out of him like a bad tooth, huh.]
Yours sounded better. I mean, murder, sure, but also McDonald's and bear powers? Mine just sorta sucked, and I found out I was someone's, like, forth boyfriend.
[Yeah, and Magnus just isn't really willing to do that. Even though he feels like he deserves to know, and needs to know?
But he can't really make himself try to force Taako to talk about it. In part because he knows that if Taako decides to, he can make that blow up in his face.]
Oof! Sounds rough. Is that asshole here? I could punch him.
[His heart's not really into the punching threat, though.]
[He'll cough it up eventually, he always spills these things. He's actually a much worse secret keeper than Magnus is? But he has to get to it on his own. He could tell Magnus was sorta fishing for some death deets there and he resents it.
At the "asshole" question he pauses, tilting his head while he thinks it over.]
Um. Not exactly. There's, uuuuuuh, his 15-year-old self, which really brings up a whole other host of issues.
[He says this so skeptically. Woof. Getting judged for your love life by Magnus.]
Yeah, that dude was in my game, too. Kind of short! And got murdered. Didn't know short guys who get murdered was your type!
[He's trying to blow past it, because yes, he would really like the deets? And kind of resents Taako openly joking about it but refusing to tell him? And yet. Just going to focus on this hot goss instead.]
Shut up, I didn't ask for a straight opinion on the whole deal. I was under a lot of stress at the time, and sometimes your brain under pressure makes, like, insane decisions! Six foot and over only from now on. Fuck!
[He was short and got murdered in Taako's game too so! Apparently it is his type.]
Yeah, I get it. Well, if it helps, I've been telling that little dude a lot of stuff about his time in Reap! Last time we talked I mentioned the big wedding. Maybe it was a wedding for his five boyfriends!
He said-- [Starting to crack himself up? With his own fucking joke?] He said he's only met one blonde in his life! And I was like, what? That's insane? Do you not meet people? Have you never had friends? Do you not go outside? Crazy! Who doesn't know any blonde people?

This isn't my first rodeo! But the last place I was, everybody keeping secrets just kind of made everything worse.
[Sighing.]
I'm not saying I'm going to tell anyone other than you anything. I'm just saying I don't plan to play along with the secret teams game!

So. The people here from your game - are they okay? What do we think about 'em?

[That's Taako code for they are now some of his very best friends? Sad? Magnus would probably know this though.]
no subject
Got it. From my game, it's just Akira, and he doesn't remember. But he's a good kid.
