iStones, april 6
[You know those pressing, intense questions that keep you up in the middle of the night? Well, this is one such moment and anyone unfortunate enough to be awake, or awakened, during these early morning hours will be hit with an extremely important q from a confused girl.]
What's a joke?
[And, a few seconds later-]
How do you 'prank' someone? Is that a treasure?

no subject
A joke is a thing you say to make someone laugh, by surprising them a little. A prank is like that but uhh, more involved--like with stuff instead of words. Obviously Taako is great at both, but jokes are easier.
no subject
Keep talking through the iStone anyway because she loves it.]
Is that stuff magic too? Is that why you're the best at that kind of thing?
no subject
Nope! That's all natural talent, pumpkin. I mean, you can do pranks with magic, but that's just a shortcut. Anyone can make jokes...in theory, anyway.
no subject
[It'll be fine. She's not going to immediately enact said pranks/jokes to some unsuspecting, still sleeping member of camp base obviously. She would never do that. That's illegal, actually, and she is a law abiding citizen.]
no subject
Uhhh, well. [Taako buffers audibly.] Hmm. A lot of pranks are weirdly door-centric? And we kind of have a shortage of doors. And jelly. We'll circle back to it.
How about... [A lot of jokes rely on knowledge that is unlikely to be found in a post-apocalyptic non-society, it turns out. Jelly might have been easier.] Hey, what do you call a wizard that's run out of spells?
no subject
Not that she needs to worry about All That because she knows this answer.]
A sleepy Taako.
no subject
That's-- A little on the nose, but you're not wrong. But see, what if you want to tell the joke to someone who doesn't know Taako? Sounds crazy, but you gotta be prepared for every eventuality, right?
[Come to think of it, her version is way better. But it's too late, he's already committed.]
What do you call a wizard that's out of spells? A was-ard!
no subject
Like, she's proud of him, and kind of gets the joke, even if it doesn't land 100%. Nothing really will, to be honest. Is it breakfast time yet?
Maybe she can work with that.]
What do you call an apprentice that's very hungry?
no subject
Of course, Ren being Ren, he approaches this question with caution. The answer may not make sense. It might blow his mind clean off. Either way he probably can't possibly come up with it on his own, as much as his goof proprioception wants him to try.]
...I don't know, but I can't wait to hear it. All ears, here.
no subject
[The dead silence isn't because she's trying to refer to the previous jokes she's heard, trying to remember punchlines from earlier answers that will make no sense in context. But nothing ever will, really. He should just resign to that fact now. It's all for comedic effect. She planned this, obviously.
Yeah.]
An appwastice.
[NO.]
no subject
That hungry, huh? How 'bout I don't call you late to lunch, then? [Next lesson: rimshot sound effect.]
no subject
Don't call late-I run home really fast every day, but I can't run faster than that.
[So if it's a late call yall she can't book it any quicker. It tastes so good when it's hot and warm and fresh from the elf oven. Don't take that away from her.]
