the flip side

They don their crimson robes and begin to land on the quad - causing quite a stir. Though their entrance isn't stealthy, it's certainly grand, with Lup and Taako burning spell slots on flashy magic.

The gangplank is lowered, and the crew exits to greet the large crowd that they've gathered.

"Hail and well met!" Taako shouts.

"Y'all horny for this one?" Lup adds. Davenport curses his life and wonders if the twins are even capable of behaving. (Lup can, by the way, blend into polite society when she wants to - she and Barry once posed as a wealthy couple in order to get the Light - but she sees no need right now. She got away with plenty of trouble back at the IPRE, the IPR doesn't seem much different.)

"I know you all must be very confused, concerned, or even just curious," Davenport says. "But, uh - we mean no harm, truly! We come with noble intentions and an earnest desire to share our knowledge-"

"YO, KOKO, THE LONG LOST TRIPLET IS REAL!" Lups voice, but not Lup, screams. "FUCK, QUADRUPLET! COME CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!"

(Not) Lup pushes her way to the front of the crowd. She's got an undercut dyed a bright red, in contrast to (our) Lup and her bobbed brown hair. (Not) Taako blinks to join her, blond hair (like our Taako) that's in a knee-length braid.

"Are these your evil twins? Like, Dark Lup and Dark Taako?" Magnus says in a whisper.

"I already have an evil twin, his name is Taako," Lup replies. Such comment would normally lead to a full on fight, but Taako's got bigger fish to fry.
