Welcome to Islet 2! There are many reasons for you to be here right now. Maybe you live here. Maybe you're visiting someone who lives here. Maybe you've been invited to this sick party by one of the above idiots. Maybe you were just passing by and got dragged into the festivities. Who cares, really? You're here now!

Out in front of Cottage 1 there's the beautiful banner that you see above hanging on the outside, lovingly crafted by one of the twins. The twins have also lovingly crafted some vodka using magic and potatoes. Potato magic. And hey! There's also stuff that the twins cooked! Like potato tornadoes, fried shark genitals and Fantasy Kentucky Fried Pterax! And other food! And there's a fire! And activities! And drinking!

Mainly drinking. In fact, there is a large cooking pot that, at the moment, is full of the most moonshine-iest vodka you have ever had. There are empty halves of coconut shells to serve as cups, as well as some clay cups that may or may not have come from an interesting source. So help yourself! Who knows how long it'll last, considering the amount of guests. Heck! It might even be repurposed later, after all the vodka is gone! So drink up.

Anyway, feel free to join in on the festivities! There will be several threads for activities where people can mingle, or you can start your own. Have a party, chill out, and/or imbibe ill-advised substances to try and forget that you died. Wheeeee!

Mickey's eyes widen. "You're Taako!" He repeats, excited. "Lup wanted me to meet you! I've been wanting to learn more magic, and Lup said you're the guy who could teach me best!"

A slight exaggeration.

[ohshitsweetflips]

What could possibly be an exaggeration in that when it's just the truth. Despite the unremarkable truthfulness of it, Taako still stands up from his lazy snackward slouch, shows some pride. He is definitely the guy who can best teach Mickey Mouse how to do magic.

Hang on, "More magic? Oh right, you got a little, some kind of Produce Flame, huh. What else are you lookin to add to the ol repertoire?” This is better ground for Taako to be on, than being sincerely complemented by a surreally nice mouse.

[souris_keteer]

Mickey swallows hard so that all the food is gone. This is a serious talk, after all! "Everything! I wanna learn everything! I wanna be a great master magician!"

[ohshitsweetflips]

All talks with Taako are serious talks, keep up. That said, Taako is a little taken aback by this enthusiasm. "Alright, okay, that's, well, we can work on that." He steeples his hands, thinks briefly on how to approach magic en masse for a very unusual sort of layman. "Magic is very, it's pretty complicated, with a lotta room for, for personalisation. It all depends on what you're trying to do, and sort of what your wheelhouse is. You gotta start somewhere." Because wanting to learn everything and be the best is a kind of nebulous starting point.

[souris_keteer]

Well, when you put it like that... Mickey feels a little guilty for acting like a child.

"Sorry... well... I want to learn the kind of magic that can help people. Like, to defend them and protect them!"

[ohshitsweetflips]

Oh no, the mouse is apologising now, Taako feels guilty in turn, this is cursed.

It doesn't help that he feels like he doesn't have particularly good news for Mickey, either. Defend and protect, huh. "I have some people who are all about that shit." Not all friends, at this point, but he's still gonna claim ownership because the one thing more on-brand than a grudge is never letting go. Actually, those are basically the same thing, weird. "My school of magic can do that, but that's not the main thing it's about. Kind of have to get creative with it. But that's probably gonna be how it is no matter what you go for. That's magic for you."

[souris_keteer]

Mickey put a hand on his chest, ready to commit and create as much as it took. "All I'm asking for is a chance. If you don't think I can do it, I'll be graceful about it."

... For, like, a day. Maybe. And then the next day he'll just wind up asking all over again.

"But I want to make life better for everyone here, and for the people back in my home! No matter what magic I learn, I know it'll make me a better person than I am now. I'll be creative, I'll study, I'll practice, I'll do whatever you need me to do!:

[ohshitsweetflips]

"Uh huh, cool." Shit, that's like, legitimately inspiring or whatever. And also very sincere, so he turns his attention, ostensibly, to some nice crunchy seaweed snax. Like, damn, Taako isn't the gatekeeper of magic, here, he's just some idiot with a few borderline useful spells, as far as this island is concerned. Expectations are looking a little scarily high. Too late now though.

"I can start you off with a cantrip or two, but don't expect anything super useful right out of the gate," he still feels the need to be a little cautionary. Mickey at least doesn't know enough about magic to be disappointed by a shitty nerfed wizard's spell roster, but Taako sure does, and it would be making him shifty as hell if that weren't already his default state. "Come by the store whenever, we'll see how you handle Prestidigitation."

[souris_keteer]

Mickey has no idea what 'cantrip' is but he does not care. He does care that Taako essentially said yes.

"YAHOO!" Mickey literally jumps for joy, like a little kid finding their favorite toy under the Christmas tree. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I won't let you down, that's a promise! And if there's ever anything I can do for you in return, you just say the word!"

Yaaay, the exciting world of magic school is beginning! He's going to fight bad guys and protect everyone and when he goes home he can teach his friends and everyone will think he's super cool and maybe the princess will think he's super cool...
