[The good news is that despite everything involved in this setting it is not called a Pleasure Room, so we've got that going for us on the portal front. The other good news is he's had some time to cool off since Q&A earlier, just... not enough to keep him from being a little shit.
Chuuya breathes out a slight laugh at that question, though, shaking his head.]
More impressed you hopped on it so quickly. That's not really how I expected the app to work-- pretty sure it's going to take some of you guys a while to figure out the system.
[Well, it's not called the Pleasure Room yet. Seems like Jenkin's work should live on in some way, right?]
Is that supposed to be a compliment, amigo? [Crossing his legs, leaning forward on his elbows because, yeah, he's taking it as a compliment.] What can I say, I'm just real fuckin' good at shit, like, all the time.
[Waving a hand around, to indicate the room.]
So you just called me into your, uh, Pleasure Room here to tell me I'm dope? I mean, don't get me wrong, super into that.
[That gets a raised brow, as Chuuya just... gestures to the general area.]
I don't know what kind of places you're used to, but if this was that kind of room I'd have made it a hell of a lot more accommodating. This is just the meeting room, come on.
[Anyway. He reaches over to the sidetable, pouring himself a glass of wine-- though it's more like he touches a finger to the bottle and it floats, tips, and pours.]
I wanted to make sure the system was working and test bringing people here, for one. There aren't a lot of you guys trying it out yet. Assuming you don't think I'm going to up and decide to murder you or something, though, I don't mind making a proper meeting out of it.
[translation: he kind of didn't think that far ahead of 'hey let's just fucking do this'?]
It's definitely not a murder consolation prize-- what, do you think I want everyone in this place on my ass? We're going to be the first ones all of you look at if something goes wrong, I'm pretty sure.
[He pours a second glass using the same gravity trick, then passes it on over-- if it's not grabbed immediately the glass will just hover in the air right where Chuuya placed it.]
Oh for fuckin' sure I'd blame you lot if people started showing up weirdly dead before we know anything else.
[Taking the wine, eyeballing the fun little gravity trick - then taking a very long, probably rude drink of that glass. He downs most of it in one go.]
So, who's dick do I have to suck around here to get some magic powers back? [Eugh. Making a face at himself.] That's a joke, by the way.
[He's well aware of the situation, but then, he's also pretty used to being the kind of person people blame easily? Familiar criminal territory, there.
Chuuya wrinkles his nose at how fast he downs that glass, though, muttering-]
None of you people know how to savor a goddamn thing, do you...
[anyway.]
But listen, if I knew? I'd tell you. Everything would be a lot easier if we all had access to them-- we'd have had the rest of the place opened up by now, probably, which I assume is exactly why it's being restricted to us.
Just taking the edge off. I'll savor it this time. Promise, I've got a good palate.
[He's only being honest! If Chuuya and the others prove trustworthy, he'll savor some crow over it. Holding his glass over for a refill.]
And ch'yeah. If I had my powers back we'd be outta here lickety-split. I'd Meteor this whole shitheap to the fuckin' ground instantly. Maybe a little touch of the old Polymorph to really get some good smashing in.
[Actually savoring this time! Leaning back in the chair and fully settling in . . . to talk about himself.]
That's cha'boy Taako's specialty, actually. Transmutation. I can change my body into another creature's - big or small, as long as it's got the same level as me. ["Level" doesn't mean anything here, Taako.] Point is, I can be a big T-rex, or a King Kong or something. Really take this place off its hinges.
As I explained earlier, pumpkin, I’m just generally really good at shit and am very dope.
[ Taako just straight up snortlaughs at that - because yeah he’s jealous of his own powers right about now too? ]
More than those two things. A lot more. Just the way it works if you put the effort in. Tap into the magical currents and whatnot, tame the elements, bend reality to your iron will, that sort of thing. I’ll be real with you, I didn’t read the rules all that carefully and I’m pretty broken, spellwise. [ He thinks for a second. ] If we had access to the other planes I could probably teach you a few party tricks, actually.
[That's the first important thing, anyway. He sips at his wine as he takes all that in.]
It'd be worth a shot if you got it back, sure, but what I've got access to-- it's all innate, where I'm from. You're born with it or you get it passed to you, or you can't do shit-- and usually you're the only one who can do it. Some duplicates, sure, but for the most part it's a unique thing. [A hum, there.] So I feel like I'd probably be missing, you know, whatever lets people where you're from tap into anything.
I don't think it's an extra organ or anything, but up to you. [Just sitting back, sipping on his wine, enjoying this . . . weird room.] But seriously, you invited me here 'cuz you liked my picture, right?
[what the fuck does that even mean he doesn't know-- but Chuuya lets it pass this time. He might have to ask around later.]
If that's what you really want it to be, then fine... but the note actually wasn't a bad touch. Think I prefer that over just getting random pics sent in.

Just the name of a room you enter through a portal and experience something new and maybe kinda crappy, that's all. I didn't name them!
[Reaching out with a grabby! hand!]
I want some, then, if I'm just here as a guinea pig. Gimme gimme gimme. Especially if you're gonna murder me.

The Meteor thing sounds pretty self-explanatory to me, but you mind elaborating on the Polymorph part?

But then he slumps back in his chair with a groan and a shake of his head.]
God, I hate this place, it's unfair as fuck that you can't show that off--
[he would LOVE to see a fuckin T-rex wreck the stupid hotel?? who WOULDN'T.]
