[ Recent events are enough of a push to get him to do what he was waffling about, but that doesn't mean he likes having to be the bearer of any news, let alone the kind where he gives mildly hypocritical advice. ]
i know it hasn't even been a week but apparently people are already biting the dust again, so
hi, i'm nate, and enough people have asked me about this crap that i should probably have made this sooner. i've been to another world like this before, the whole "kidnapped population of different people, different places" thing, got the t-shirt, so i might be able to answer some questions people have
death probably isn't gonna stick here, but that doesn't mean you should be testing your luck since there's always some kind of price with these things.
seriously, don't be stupid.

He shuts his tablet before that vortex drags him straight back into the pit he crawled from, and takes a walk.
It isn't a long one and the air is warm, though it does occur to him when he arrives at the docks that this might have been a really, really stupid idea. ]
no subject
They arrive at almost the same time, with Rafe squinting in the dark to see if the blink of light is Nate and his lantern or just some other idiot out for a midnight stroll at noon. The wood creaks under their feet and the water is calmer than anything in the North Sea ever was, but Nate's not the only one flashing back to memories best left buried. ]
So.
[ He lets the word hang in the air, a single syllable packed with expectation and skepticism and...all right, yeah. A little curiosity. ]
no subject
[ Since he committed to this Nate has spent the last excruciating five minutes wondering which spell he ought to utilize. None of them are really offense-oriented in the impressive sense, as Taako informed him that combat spells generally come later in training, but he'd hate to burn that "magic missile" thing on showing off, and knowing his luck he'll blow up a building in the process.
For the good of Beacon's populace Nate therefore settles on something a little more mundane, albeit less explosive. With an elegant flourish Nate bows, and when he straightens up it might almost seem as though Rafe is looking in a mirror: the outfit is the same, black on black, the slick, tamed hair and the pale eyes, the set of the jaw. The only difference is the lack of apparent disdain, the smile on his face, and when the Other Rafe opens his mouth, Nate's voice comes out. ]
Abraca-fuck you.
no subject
Until it's not. ]
Jesus Christ.
[ His eyes go wide as he backs up a step to try and get away from...that. Because sure, it's like looking in a mirror β in a funhouse, maybe. No reflection he's ever checked has had a smile like that, crooked as either of their careers and uncomfortably familiar even now years later. Add in that likewise familiar voice coming out of his mouth... No. This is deeply freaking weird. ]
no subject
I told you.
no subject
[ Understatement of the year, but let Rafe have this little bit, all right. It's a struggle to regain his poise, watching Nate warily as if he'll pull the same trick again just to unnerve him. Nate has sure as hell been enough of a little shit to warrant the suspicion.
Crossing his arms, the only tell remaining is the nervous drumming of fingers against his bicepβ Before he stops that. Dammit. Get it together. ]
How did you even... Who taught you?
no subject
A wizard.
[ Nate shrugs, hands on his hips. ]
An elf named- [ He hesitates here with a sigh and something that could be construed as a chuckle. ] -Taako Taaco. Both spelled differently. I know how it sounds.
no subject
can'twon't let it happen again. ]It sounds about on par with everything else in this place since we got here. [ "We" in the loosest possible... Whatever. You know what he means. ] I'm sure their sister Enchilada Enchilada was also just a peach.
no subject
[ Ah, well. Spilled milk and all that. ]
She was an evocation wizard, which I think is mostly...fire. Fire stuff.
