[umbraastaff]

as is my nature, i am compelled to ask u for some more about how the atla taz group (gaang? oh my god grup? like group + lup???) meets kravitz

taz atla au

the grup... oh my god. perfect

anyway i did that here but here's something else you might like.

--

Slipping in through a window and coming to the elf chained up high in a tower, Kravitz realizes something that the Admiral and all of his subordinates did not: this is not the Avatar.

Taako, conversely, has no realizations about the identity of this burglar. His face is concealed by a skull mask, and he's never seen anyone running around with a scythe like it's a weapon before.

But the burglar cuts him free, and he's not one to turn down a gift. "Alright, reaper man!"

They get pretty far before encountering any real problems. The Reaper moves just as quickly and almost as smoothly as Taako, so they have no issues keeping up with one another as they escape, even as they start getting chased. He even manages to pick a few pockets.

But when they're stopped less than ten feet from the final door, surrounded, the Reaper turns to a more desperate measure. Taako suddenly finds his neck between a sternum and a blade.

He can feel the Reaper's chest against his back as they move backwards through the open door, Taako's life as the bargaining chip.

They get a good distance away before Taako hears the thwack of an arrow against the Reaper's mask, and feels him slump. Taako flings a smoke bomb he picked off someone to the ground, and with the cover, he drags his rescuer into the woods and loses their assailants.

(And he'd better be so fucking grateful about it, Taako is built for dexterity, not strength, and he's well past out of breath by the time they reach a safe spot--)

Taako's normally of the opinion that a masked man ought to have a right to his privacy, but also, he should really check if this guy's breathing.

Oh.

He must have come for Lup, then. Did he realize it was Taako when he arrived, and rescue him anyway? Or did he just not know?

In another universe, someone waits for light to awaken their rescuer before fleeing.

Taako doesn't. He lays Kravitz in a way where he won't choke on his own spit, lingers only another silent moment, and leaves before the prince can begin to stir.

🌹!

Without a second of hesitation, Sunshine strides over to him and punches him, catching him in the side of his face and knocking him over with the unexpected momentum.

“Sunshine!” several others shout behind her, followed by Carey sighing, “Killian!”

The orc appears by Sunshine’s side, leaning over to pick up the scientist by the front of his shirt. “You have two seconds to explain yourself, Lucas. This has been the shittiest, worst day ever; we are down two people; your lab sucks,” she growls.

📓!

listen listen listen. i think about this one too much.

angus mcdonald, boy detective. he's not exactly new to the detective business, but he solved a pretty Big case and now ppl respect him more. they give him Special Permissions. specifically, he is given permission to take a crack at some older unsolved cases after solving one that has stumped everyone for Quite Some Time (insert classic spicy murder case here). he's getting to become a pretty Notable Detective and he is Ready For This. and a lot of them really just needed a fresh pair of eyes. like, hello, of course old mrs johnson wasn't murdered by her dog, it was obviously her Goddamn Husband, Holy Shit. that kinda thing, yknow??

so he takes this new case on. missing person, easy peasy. only it is not, in fact, easy peasy. the case goes as followed: elven woman, 300ish years old, has been missing for 10 years, was wearing a red robe, had an umbrella etc etc. it's a very pathetic case, if im being completely honest. angus tries to contact the family but the only stone line they gave is dead and every address they gave comes up fruitless. he thinks that maybe they're like, dead, or they gave up. understandable, considering their case had pretty much been declaimed dead before it started.

(which only makes angus wanna solve it more, ofc ofc)

and try as he might, angus just keeps hitting dead ends. like, so many fucking dead ends. he always feels like he gets close to something, but there's a Mental Block stopping him. not like a "i dont know what to do next" mental block, like a "i cannot physically comprehend what's going on anymore" mental block. he spends a while doing other cases, but he keeps coming back to it because there has never been a case angus mcdonald couldn't solve.

eventually, he finds another lead. or well, another case. the rockseeker family hears word about him and hire him to take a crack at finding cyrus rockseeker. coincidentally, he went missing ten years ago. that in itself is not too unusual- faerun as a whole has a disturbing amount of missing person cases, most dating 10 to 12 years ago. but that's a different thing entirely. the point is is that angus had a lead on where cyrus might have gone. the rockseekers own a mine- wave echo cave- and angus is like, 90% sure that's where he went.

so he gets down there and he doesn't find cyrus- but he does find someone else. red robe, check. umbrella, check. elf… skeleton- not preferable, but check. and angus, of course, does not want to tamper with crime scene evidence but he's gotta take something back with him to get tested, to use as proof so they can send another team down here, etc. so he takes the umbrella. and the ding dang skeleton disintegrates. aw man D:

so now he has an umbrella. a lead one case (angus knows all about the door n the rockseeker blood and all that. he had to sit through 45 mins of the rockseekers explaining this to him. but cyrus has got to be behind that door.), a kind of solved second case. at the very least, he can now inform the family what happened to their elf friend and assure them that he will continue to update them as the rockseeker case progresses.

only he can't find them. at all.

this is where the idea gets a little choppy. bc one one hand, i would Love for him to be able to find them before anything else. bc i like confrontation scenes. i did write a lil ficlet on that that we are ignoring for the sake of this ask meme lsdkfsd.

on the other hand, i have a very very vivid image of angus continuing to work on rockseeker case and trying to find the elf woman's family. when that falls through, he makes the rockseeker case his main priority. except that like- this umbrella does not want to leave him alone. the magic department in goldcliff say that it's an umbrastaff which means it's magic. and while angus does not want to tamper with evidence, it's hard when the thing literally rolls after him. it's his Friend now!! he loves it! it throws flames at his enemies!

anyway lskdfsd eventually it gets to a point where the rockseeker family is called in to help open the door- if they want to know where cyrus went, they're gonna have to get in that room. angus has a very uncomfortable adventure with gundren rockseeker and finally, finally the door is open. inside is, as predicted, is cyrus. except he's all burnt up and there's this Glove on his hand. and, again, angus does not like tampering with evidence but this time he doesnt even get to debate his reasons why by gundren is taking the glove and then he's on fire and, yknow, all of that.

jumpcut to angus in phandalin. end of htbg's style, the city goes up in flames, angus hides in the well with his umbrella friend. by the time he gets out, the entire city is just. Gone. n all that's left is the circle of black glass.

this, ofc, leads to a lot of investigations on what the Fuck happened. angus gives the glove a wide berth as he calls in reinforcements. part of me wants to say the militia takes the glove, somehow, but that seems like a mess. i think it's more of them blocking off the area and trying to figure out what the fuck it is, because they all feel the Weird Vibes about it. several people end up banned from the case because they just- want it so bad.

one morning, angus wakes up (im imagining little tents set up around the glassing) to an alarm blaring. there are People trying to steal the glove. angus isn't the toughest lil guy, but he's determined and he's fast, so he's the first to catch up with them. the thieves have this big silver ship that they are racing back, but Angus somehow manages to cut them off. he points the umbrastaff at them and is like "what the FUCK do you think your doing??"

missing person case, now ft. angus mcdonald as the role of Missing Person. turns out these thieves are not above kidnapping if you've got the umbralla that belonged to their long lost family member.

i could go on. i have imagined this so many different ways. i have so many thoughts. this got so long help sldjfsdf

Summary:

It was a fantasy Gideon often thought about.

A ship would come—not one of the dinky dropships that visited fortnightly to deliver rations, but something big and nasty, a proper Cohort vessel like in her comics. It would rattle the rocks thirty stories down and blot out the sky. The Reverend Mother and Father would come out to greet it, and when it docked it'd kick up so much dust that their eyes would stream with tears. Their paint would smear, and they'd look really stupid. Then, while they were busy coughing up a lung, a ramp would descend, and from the belly of the ship would come—someone. Someone important.

Who they were and what they looked like changed whenever Gideon thought about it, but that part didn't matter so much. They could have been anyone. Gideon wouldn’t have cared. What mattered was that they were here for her, and because of that Gideon would never be sad or lonely again.

Podficcer Note: This is a work in progress! I podded the first chapter and will post updates as terezis does! I can't wait to see where this work goes because it is INCREDIBLE.

sketch request: a quick taakitz smooch? :0

It’s Been 84 Years

-

[ID: Two sketchy drawings of Taako and Kravitz from The Adventure Zone. Taako is a chubby elf with wavy hair worn in a braid, wearing a large floppy-brimmed wizard’s hat, and Kravitz is a half-elven man of medium build, with tightly-curled hair worn in a half-bun. In the drawing on the left, Taako is leaning in to kiss Kravitz on the cheek, one hand on each of his shoulders, as Kravitz looks at him in surprise. The drawing on the right is drawn in a much more cartoony style; Kravitz’s face is a simple skull and he’s looking down and away from Taako and pushing his index fingers together. There are blush marks on the skull and puffs of steam coming out from his head, and Taako is standing next to him looking smug with a small speech bubble next to his head that shows the >:3 emoji. End ID.]
