[He actually seems to ease at the pat to the face? Look, sometimes its the little things, though he actually looks faintly amused by the gesture. It's very Taako.]
...Tell me more about what you went through. [He leans his chin on his hand.] It sounds like a real mess.
[Taako voice: once I doused the whole ass world in my memories, but I don't remember that, so lets pretend it didn't happen. He lays back down and just ROLLS HIS EYES at the thought of his fun dungeon time.]
A mess about covers it. Um, me and Yoshizawa went through this part where we were cheerleaders for a football game of our friends murdering each other. And, uh, I stabbed a cheerleader, but it turned out to be Lup. Like, I've seen all these people die before - like, we've all died a lot - but it's still fucking annoying when the place is clearly trying to get your goat.
Well, that sounds fun. [A low groan.] I don't even see the point. Its like "gathering nova" is the equivalent of "throwing a bunch of us in a fish bowl and shaking it to see the results".
That's not even the whole thing. Then we showed up for Graduation. Had a little friend for each of us waiting. Mine was, uh, this guy called Kravitz? We've uh-- [Hm.] He was nice. Anyway, he's like. Death. Or a Reaper. I think it's a thriving job market, but, um, he got sent to collect our souls once. For all the dying crimes.
Anyway, he stabbed me. Or I guess he stabbed himself which ended up with me being stabbed. Theeeen we had to hang ourselves.
[Pulling down his collar so he can see the noose mark.]
I mean, I guess I can get the stabbing part, even though I don't understand why this Kravitz of yours would stab himself, but...hanging? Why? Who forced you to?
Some cheerleading jackass. Like she even knows anything about anyone! Fuck her. Look, surely a figment of an illusion can handle a few mild insults by a very stressed out victim without snapping and trying to kill them. [Did. Taako bait a memory-NPC into snapping.] And a guy dressed as a priest, but he showed up again at the end in a suit to give a little speech about faith and holding hands or whatever to us.
I mean, I was only barely conscious at that point, so, who knows what he actually meant.
Dunno that much about him. He wasn't on our half of the adventure so much.
Like I said, just showed up at the end and told us that "Having faith is putting your hand in someone else's, and learning to take the good with the bad."
