[video forever] D U D E

[mydude]

YO.

[The video starts abruptly with a far-too-close shot of Taako's face.]

DID YOU GUYS KNOW I HAVE A SISTER?!

[Taako opens a fist against his temple, making a noise akin to an explosion.]

So many things make sense now. Like, a bunch of my life, actually. Because I just remembered it.

[There's a loud "WOO!" in the background. Taako grins.]

Right?! Right, Lup is the sister. My sister.

[Really? The one who looks just like you? Everyone is shocked.]

But yeah, uh, so. Basically this place can suck less than 100% sometimes. I guess.

[He snorts, shakes his head, and with that, ends the feed.]

[but what if i action]

[restinglichface]

[Lup abruptly slumps against her twin's back the moment the network connection is cut, her chin moving to plop onto his shoulder.

There's still a million emotions running through her and there's definitely no helping the relieved sobs that keep fighting their way out of her, but for the moment, Lup is bright, radiant in her happiness, shining with joy. After months upon months of her brother not recognizing her or their two centuries worth of memories together, she's finally been given this incredible gift.

And she's never letting him go again. Not for anything.]

'Bout time you remembered, dingus.

[mydude]

[Taako's head falls against hers, easy.]

Yeah, I really fucked that up. Getting all brainwashed by the team mom. Like literally, brain washed. She washed that Lup right out of my hair.

[He snorts, though. He's angry, sure, somewhere deep in there. But he can't help but being a little giddy. Giddy enough to share it with the whole of Wonderland, although there was some practicality in that message.]

You know, this is probably the only place where people will hear, "Oh I forgot an entire person," and totally get it immediately.

[choosetruth]

Oh, wow. Is that why you look so much alike.

[Georgia's tone is deadpan as always as she raises an eyebrow behind her sunglasses.]

[lifeisntfun]

Siblings are pretty great. Except for most of the time, when they're little jerks.

[mucked]

-- You've only just now remembered an entire person?

[ truth be told, peggy is only really speaking up because she met lup at the galentine's party. the conversation had been interesting -- certainly interesting enough to merit a follow-up. but she'll make do with meeting the brother. ]

[restinglichface]

[The ease that he melds with her means everything after months of having lost it. Lup can't help the soft hum at her throat when their heads bump affectionately. It's back to the way it should be.]

Rude of her, considering your hair's lookin' a little flat these days. [Right on cue, her free hand slips up the back of his head to give his hair a messy tussle.] Deffo could use a healthy dose of Lup conditioning.

[But when she's finally done torturing him, her arms cross gently across Taako's shoulders from behind, just hugging him. They've always been attached at the hip, but it's going to be worse for a little bit longer. Just until this all starts to feel real.] Talk about fucked up. But at least you guys remember now. Not to be a huge bitch, but that's pretty much my only priority.

I met a brother here that I never knew about back home! His name's Kon, he's the best ever.

( not that he knows who lup is or who this guy is but clearly he is excited?? )

I'm glad you found your sister, too!

[mydude]

Yeah! We're twins! Isn't that great?!

[...Sometimes he's not just playing dumb.]

[mydude]

Lup conditioning would just set it on fire, though, we both know that. And I can't rock bald.

[Taako smirks at her frankness.]

Yeah, I kinda knew that even before I knew who you were, to be honest. Y'aint subtle about things you want, sis.

[mydude]

I mean, yeah. But losing them and getting them back makes all the difference in your attitude, for sure.

[mydude]

Yeahhhh, it's a long story. My buddy Magnus bought something that fixed it so now I remember everything.

[Well, all signs point to everything at this point, anyway.]

[mydude]

Right on, kiddo!

[Wow, he's being way nicer to this kid than he'd usually be.]

Is he an older brother? Because holy shit, we do not need more unsupervised children around here.

[kryptomight]

Yeah. He's like. . a teenager.

( probably anyway. )

Is your sister a big sister?

[mucked]

Was it Wonderland that made you forget?

[ this place steals memories, after all. ]

[lifeisntfun]

Very, very true. I've been there.

[restinglichface]

I dunno, 'Ko. That sounds like a challenge to me.

[One of her hands lifts up and away from him before catching flame. She's teasing. Really. Maybe.]

No shit. Neither are you. It's part of our brand.

[mydude]

Nah, she's my twin. Looks just like me.

[Yup.]

[mydude]

[Taako leeeeeans away.]

Yeeeeah, I've gotta lotta product in here, girl. You better put that away.

[He sighs.]

Man. I tried to have a one-man brand. Can you believe that?

[mydude]

Really? Man, this place is like. Crawling with people with surprise siblings.

[mydude]

[A slightly manic expression flashes across Taako's face, but it's gone as soon as it came.]

Hah, nah. You'd think so, but this was. Something else.

[mucked]

-- Something else?

[ honestly. how could she not ask? ]

[restinglichface]

[And she does, but only for him and the sake of his hair. Never let anyone say Lup is an inconsiderate sister.]

Honestly, if I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. Was it as crappy as I'd think?
