[Oh, Taako knows Clarice! It's clear from the way John talks about her that they're close and it fits with the way she was when Taako first met her, a little unsure about being so visibly different. He could have assumed they're from the same place, but he's met several mutants and he knows they're not all from the one world, just like he and Rin were from different versions for Fearun.]

I dunno if there's much I can do from here, but I'll cross my fingers for you guys.

[It's a genuine sentiment, Taako isn't much for saving the world or whatever (even though he did it) but it sucks that people have to go through that stuff.]

Uh, it's... [hm. this is always a tricky one, for various reasons.] The world I was born on is kinda gone but I was last on a planet called Aebir-Toril, it's sort of your usual fantasy bullshit. Magic, a lotta different races, no cars or phones or shit, but we do have elevators and trains and floating moon bases so like, we've got some differences from usual fantasy fare.

[It's mostly because of the Millers, but that's hard to explain too.]
