[They were on the network Illya keep up!!]

yeah fuck lets schedule it in when we're a lotttt more sober

lucretia gets home in like two days so we're taking advantage of our last days of freedom befree we gotta be responsible again

[That's a lie, but - he doesn't need to get into their weird business right now.]

And I imagine this Lucretia is your boss, yes? If she manages to make you behave she must be rather formidable.

Are you eating? Drinking water?

its complicated but shes kinda like our little sister she's just the respnosble one

food and water has been consumed

I have someone like that. [Shot out to Gabby.]

Or had, I suppose. Back home. I'm glad you have people from your world in here, Taako.

youve still got em theyre just not here

[That makes sense to him.]

its kinfa weird? but yeah, im glad

That's true.

[He still misses her, misses them both but Taako's right. They aren't gone, just not here right now. He'll get back to them eventually.]

What do you mean, weird?

timelines! were from all over the place so its like

im at least a decade ahead of magnus. the others aer even further behind

I knew that was a possibility but I didn't know that was common. [Mostly from Clark, his family was all over the place timeline-wise.]

You need to explain how that works to me. When you're not drunk, maybe.

we got a century to pick from, that probably helps

[There's more variety available, just from the sheer fact there's more time.]

i dunno how ti works. the whole thing kinda fucks me up like

time is weird?

[Wait what-]

How old are you anyway?

oh did you not know

like

im pretty old

a few centuries???

I didn't know, no. You look really good for your age, you will have to tell me your skin regime.

[He's joking, maybe. A little. He's eventually going to get old, he figures, may as well.]

Your world keeps getting weirder and weirder.

the secret is virgin blood

nah its cause im an elf

this is like normal for elvse in all kinda unvierses!

[He was like half-buying the virgin thing, Taako's world is that weird to Illya.]

So are you considered young by elves standards?

i guesss like im in my 30s??? we can live to 800 and i havent hit halfway

but ist also weird cause of the thing. the reviving thing. my souls 99 eyars older than my body

I have so many questions I am not sure where to start. Especially considering you are drunk.

Our lives must feel really short-lived to you.

yuo can ask! if theyre hard i will get back to you in the morning

kinda

Well, how can you say you died if you are here now?

[He's not even going to touch the soul thing.]

magic!

thats the real easy answer but the longer one is that i dont fucking know

something about our ship like. every time we left one planer system itd reboot us back to how we were at the start of the mission. every year we went back to that version of our body not just age but everything. i had a burn on my thumb that came back every time

Planer system. I think you have never used those expressions before. Is this like time travel, or space travel?

space? reality

like the portal except instead of a portal its a ship that goes places

Oh. [He'd been thinking literal space, he's got a few alien friends in this place. But that makes sense.]

The more you explain the more questions I seem to have. For example: why a ship?

what lese would it be?

like we had to do the actual travl it was just like the portal cause we went to different realities

[Someone teach Illya texting '????' is a perfectly acceptable answer because that's what he's feeling right now.]

If you can travel through realities how come you're stuck here like the rest of us?

ship's not here :(
