[after feeding the purple bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and out the door, bounding its way across the grounds. taako will have to be quick to keep up, but the bun seems to be leading him straight to the camp store. the door swings open for the bunny and as taako enters, he'll find purple heart seated on the check-out counter. they bend down to scoop up the bunny as it approaches and leaps into their hand, depositing it on their desk before turning to wave a hand toward taako]
I knew you couldn't get enough of me.
I knew you couldn't get enough of me.
Again, you're overselling it. Apparently you've got me all tied up in contracts here, my being of indeterminate gender?
Something like that.
Had an interesting conversation with my, uh, compatriots from the, um, boat, and it just made me think about some things. Maybe you can answer? You said you didn't know if your little plan to send us back where we came from will include "home" for us, right?

If we're being honest, then I'll be frank with you. If I can't go home, then I'm not going back. I won't. And you can't-- You shouldn't let the other two do it either - dumb, self-sacrificial bullshit.
[there's a brief pause, but it's more out of being polite than actually having to think about it. the answer should be obvious.]
If my abilities here can change your story and get the three of you back to your original homes, that's what I'll do. If my first idea won't work, we'll find another. You're already here, so why not take the opportunity to find another route?

Well that's my point, so, preaching to the choir on that.
Then again, maybe you're actually the bad guy and I'm here spillin' my plans to you! So that's a possibility as well.

Does it say really terrible things about my mental state that I wouldn't care that much . . . ?
[It does.]
Dunno. Magnus seems pretty confident, but he's coming off the high of, apparently, good ending. Hey-- so, he mentioned he was in a game with a, um, me, so, if that Taako goes home, then, what am I supposed to do with this Taako? I just foresee a timeline crash here.

A bit, but I suppose it says something about mine that I couldn't disagree.
[that's a bit of a loaded question though.] The way I see it, you have a few options. You could trade places with that Taako, you could let that Taako go, or you could disrupt the flow of time and become a third and entirely different Taako. But that seems complicated.
Have you...told Magnus about what's happened to this Taako?

[Don't like any of those!!!!! But that's about what he guessed. And that's all assuming a good end. He makes a face, but doesn't say anything.]
Why? What's the point gonna be? He gets that kicked dog look on his face and makes promises about how everything's gonna be okay?

[purple: noooo you cant just never talk about your feelings with your friends
taako: haha emotional breakdown machine go brrrrr]
Because then he might do some stupid shit like try and stick with me when he's gotta get his ass back.

You know how there's people who, when you tell them not to touch the fresh cookies out of the oven, because they'll burn, and it makes them hyperfocused on touching every single one of those cookies--
Oh fuck, fuck me, I'm doing the thing again where I spill all my personal feelings to an NPC again. Fuck! I can't-- I really can't be doing this. This is like the forth time. One day this is really gonna blow up in my face. Goddammit.

[unfortunately they laugh.]
To answer your question, I absolutely know those people. And may have been one of those people once upon a time. [that aside...] If it's any consolation, anything you tell me stays between you and I. I've no interest in sharing your disgusting feelings about things.

If you wanna go one step further and pretend I never had any disgusting feelings at all, that'd be super.
[Sighing, putting a hand on his chin.]
Once upon a time?
[Sighing, putting a hand on his chin.]
Once upon a time?
Sometimes! Sometimes. You get some character development?
Guess so, but you phrased it in the most ominous of all possible ways, homie.
You wanna expand on what "upgrade" means?

Who says I don't? I got time, apparently, and so do you? Trying to kick me out of your charming company?
I do have all the time in the world, especially for someone like you. You're free to accompany me whenever you'd like. [but they seem to be thinking this over.]
What exactly would you like to know then? It's a little awkward just to jump right in, I think.
