[The jungle is great and all, with the humidity and the weird dragon fetishes and general terribleness, but it is missing one thing compared to Olympia and that is important spell ingredients. Sure, the food is good, the party scene is actually pretty great, but vital supplies are harder to come by.

Vax might be trying to do his ordinary errands, but something about him strikes Taako as familiar, and he can't quite remember why. He certainly doesn't remember his name or any details of having met him before, but surely they're friendly? Maybe he's a fan. Either way, he's got the look of a guy in on the know. Sorry dude, you'll have one enthusiastic wizard sidling up to you outta nowhere.]

Would you look who it is? It's, uh, you!

[This is not a great plan.]

[hraefnes]

[ the jungle is great, but it's definitely more his sister's terrain than his own, but vax is doing what he can. there are things he has to do, items he has to find, food and money and mercenary missions he has to accomplish. then again, he could also just be out on an errand from keyleth. EITHER WAY. he's definitely out there, looking like he's doing something, and then suddenly there is...

another elf. full elf? some kind of elf. he's got pointy ears and is vaguely familiar, but vax isn't really sure exactly from where. ]

Uh, yeah, it's me. [ yeah, definitely not the best plan. still, vax can't help but get caught up in the fact this other person is definitely familiar and he just needs to...figure out...where.] And it's...you. [ with less enthusiasm. ]

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah, yup, it's me, Taako, from TV.

[Holding out a hand, briefly, Well, people are normally more excited to meet a real live TV superstar, but rolling with it. Sometimes people just get nervous around celebrities. He's got an idea of where he's met this dude before, or at least seen him around, so just going for it.]

Listen, my guy, got a request for ya - do you think you've still got the hookup? The ol' pipeline lowdown? A little extra in the stash? I'd, of course, never ask if my situation wasn't dire here, my man. Whole stuck in the jungle thing is getting Taako down, you know?

[hraefnes]

Taako from what?

[ sorry, taako, but vax is pretty sure he doesn't know what a tee vee is. still, the curiosity is curling away at his gut and he just can't. quite. place it. it pulls an almost frown out of him as he keeps watching the other elf.

and then there's...that. and he is vaguely reminded of scanlan. actually very much reminded of scanlan. ]

I'm sorry...what? [ the hookup, the pipeline lowdown. he might as well be asking him for spice, sweet sarenrae. ] Do I know you?

[chaoticlootral]

[Maybe it's Scanlan jackin' Taako's style? Just saying? Taako doesn't seem all that concerned by the questioning reply - it isn't as if he exactly knows what TV is either. He's just never questioned it. ]

You know me, you know me, for sure, homeboy. I mean, uh, I'm pretty sure. We've met before, you've got a face that sticks.

[hraefnes]

[ . . . . . . sure. they can go with that. ]

Yeah? So we have met before? Because it's possible you've met my sister. She looks almost the same.

[ face recognition doesn't mean a whole lot to him, but sure. maybe. he's got that weird familiar feeling too, so it has to be from somewhere. ]

Sorry. [ he shakes his head, realizing he's kind of shot the conversation off in a random direction. ] You were asking me about something?

[chaoticlootral]

No, no, uh, got some experience telling apart twins, and by that I mean practice from birth, so pretty much an expert.

[ . . . Giving him an even stranger look, because. That's a real weird coincidence. Is it just an elf thing to come in pairs.]

Ah, right, yeah. Yo, you got weed? That's what I was askin'.

[hraefnes]

Oh. [ realization: hit. ] You're a twin too?

[ a twin and an elf? i mean, vax and vex are only half, but the chances.

but then there's the question, and vax just pauses, pauses, pauses, and then frowns. ]

Weed? [ like...the one that grows in the ground? it's not that he hasn't heard of drugs, but not ones. called that. ] Why do you think I'd have weeds?
