[image description: a two-panel comic. First is Taako from the shoulders up. He has light brown skin and long pink hair that’s flowing behind him. He’s saying, “Am I?…I’m not going to lose you again.” Second panel is Lup in her lich form from the neck up. She has dark skin, completely white eyes, and short light hair. Her form is squiggly as if she isn’t corporeal. She says, “Never. Never again, bud.”]
sizzle it up with the twins! !! Lots of gossip to catch up
[image: an illustration of Taako and Lup as they stand behind a counter, preparing food. They have light brown skin and blonde hair. Lup is leaning forward to read a cookbook as she stirs a bowl of something. Her hair is pulled back with a red headband and she’s wearing a tanktop that says “aw yeah bitches.” Taako is cutting vegetables and checking out a pot of something cooking. His long hair is braided and he’s wearing a green bandanna and a tshirt that says: “Y’all still straight? …in this economy?” There are lots of speech bubbles between them consisting of emojis, mostly skulls with red hoods, scythes, hearts, and flames.]

Taako’s is dyed blond, and Lup’s is brown. Taako is wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with a blue sash, gold trim, and jeans, as well as a large pointed hat.

Image Description: A long form comic including three pages, all set in a dingy necromancy store and illustrated in a cartoony, fully-colored and shaded style.
In the first panel, a hooded figure sits behind a desk with his back to us.
In the second panel, we see part of his face which has a big sly smile on it as he looks over his shoulder. Behind him, a door opens with the ring of a small silver bell.
In the next panel he spins around in his chair and says: “Welcome to Blood-Bath and beyond, your home for necromantic wares! Anything I can help you find–”
Next: “…Today?” he finishes, seemingly dumbfounded. In the middle of the frame are three new people. Barry Bluejeans is in the middle, he is a white middle aged chubby man with brown and grey hair, stubble, and wearing a white shirt, brown coat and glasses. To the left is Taako, a dark skinned elf with straight choppy dark brown hair died lavender at the bottom, wearing a large purple wizards hat, a purple cape with gold stars, a frilled shirt and high-wasted pants. To the right is Lup, a dark skin elven woman with a face identical to Taako’s but with longer curly dark brown hair died red at the tips, and wearing a wine red wide-brimmed hat and wine red dress. The twins each are resting an arm on one of Barry’s shoulders, framing him.
In the next frame, Barry has a finger resting on his chin as he says “Uh… yes, I’m looking for a spell book with level 12 or higher spells.”
Next is a close-up of the shopkeeper’s eye, squinting forwards with a thought bubble that says: “Level 12?”
Next is the same close-up of the shopkeeper’s eye, only this time it is wide and looking up past Barry.
Next is a frame of just Taako and Lup, with Barry just slightly out of frame. Taako covers his hand as if to whisper something to Lup as they both look judgmentally in the direction of the shopkeeper. A speech bubble comes from offscreen as the shopkeeper says “Right away, sir.”
Starting the second page is a frame of the shopkeeper dropping a large book onto the table in front of him. The book looks to be stitched together from skin, with a large green eye-shaped jewel on the front cover and small fangs on the spine.
Next, Barry has picked up the book and is looking at it with a smile of curiosity as he says “Oh, neat!” The twins both peer over his shoulder as the shopkeeper looks at the three startled.
Next is a close up of Barry’s hand sliding a collection of very different looking coins across the table, including some golden hoops, a silver perforated coin with a dragon emblem, a pale blue coin, a canadian loonie, and a thin gold bar with line markings on it (it’s not a loss easter egg don’t worry about it)
The next panel is shot from over the shopkeeper’s shoulder. Barry excitedly shows an interested but calm Lup something in the book as Taako rolls a bunch of teeth around in one hand, bored. The shopkeeper thinks: “Who is this guy?!”
Next is a panel showing half of the shopkeeper’s face, the border of the panel cutting him off vertically as he stares forwards intently.
The next panel is exactly the same, except he has narrowed his eye, the pupil now glowing, as the words “true sight” are spelled above him
In the next panel, Barry is shot from the neck up, looking excitedly at something offscreen.
Next is the form of Barry’s red robe litch form, shot from the exact same position as the previous panel. He glows a faint red, the inside of his hood empty and black save for two glowing white eyes.
Starting the next page the shopkeeper recoils in surprise, his thought bubble reading: “A litch!” In the foreground, Barry and the twins are starting to leave, Taako dropping the coins Barry had paid for the book with into a small bag.
Next the shopkeeper lunges forwards with urgency, shouting “WAIT!”
Next, “Who are you?!” he shouts at the trio. Barry is looking over his shoulder at the shopkeeper, and Lup had put her arm over his shoulder.
Next is a very close shot of the bottom of Barry’s face, his mouth in a null position.
Next is the same close up shot of the bottom of Barry’s face, only this time he has a large sly smile on his face.
Next is a medium shot of Barry, he has a big gentle smile on his face, his eyes closed and one hand up in a polite wave as he says “Name’s Barry Bluejeans!”
In the final panel, the shopkeeper lays passed out over his desk, a small cartoon of a round ghost floating away from his body as the door in the back of the room closes. A small creature sits on his desk, eating the chocolate gelt which had been swapped out for the real coins.

[ID: A digital drawing of Taako and Lup, twin thin elves with medium tone skin and long blonde hair. Taako is wearing knee high boots, brown pants, and a long red coat, he has one arm crossed over his chest, with the other elbow resting on it and is smiling slightly, facing the viewer. Lup is wearing ankle boots, brown pants, and a tan off the shoulder shirt, with a red coat tied around her waiste. She is leaning on Taako’s shoulder and smiling mischievously. They both look like they just put pudding in someone’s pockets. END ID]
no one can ever convince me that taako’s first reaction to lup’s crush on barold was not ceaseless, merciless teasing followed by sincere encouragement followed by more teasing
