not usually my thing, but every once in a blue moon... 👌

We'll have to try it when we're feeling like a little role reversal.

i'll let you know when the planets are in alignment
not a competition 😘 but i'm just sayin sometime we should do a duet

Sure. Hopefully mine will be at the same time. ;)
Hmmm, you're going to have to do something really special to coax my singing out of the shower.

Okay. Now you have my attention.
This sounds like a thing that could happen.
If I could stop myself from being too distracted for singing.

You're right about one thing — it does sound weird. Alternate universes barely seem possible, let alone nearly identical parallel realities. But 30 years ago? Humanity would've said a lot of the tech we have today isn't possible. Hell, a month ago and I would've said this place was impossible.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm keeping an open mind here. If I ignore how strange it all sounds it actually makes a lot of sense.
I just have one question: how are vibrations going to help?

I dunno. It's hard to focus on singing when I'm sharing a shower with someone as sexy as you.

i'd cover your eyes if it would help 🙈

is that so you could know the names and slogans and whatever?
public education's not perfect or anything but at least it means that most people in the country are literate
[ Not everyone, certainly, but it's clearly the exception rather than the rule in Westeros. ]

it's a brave new world
where i'm from, the multiverse had only been postulated theoretically until a couple months ago. then a bunch of breaches opened to another universe and it was very much not hypothetical anymore. so i feel you on the whole 'steep learning curve' thing, man.
and that's why i know that vibrations are the best way. there are infinite worlds in the multiverse, but each one of them (and all the things and people in it) vibrates at a slightly different frequency. on an atomic level, i mean. so if you can detect that with enough accuracy, it's like a great big 'MADE IN CHINA' sticker except instead of china it's 'universe A' or 'universe B' etc. you see what i mean? so me and my bro from back home, we'll vibrate at the same frequency. but you or tali would vibrate differently to us.

I'll have to take your word that one.
[ he seems so doubtful AND YET.... ]
Do you have everything you need to build the device? Is there anything I can do to help?

thanks. tali's already volunteered to help and we're good on supplies for now, it's just a question of finding a way to increase the specificity and accuracy. mostly what we need is time.
[ Probably he should just leave well enough alone, let the conversation end there. But Cisco's always been a bit too chatty and friendly for his own good ]
that's gotta make things mad awkward between you and ashley, huh? knowing about the other version of the timeline.

Well, when you put it that way...
What are we singing? ;)

i'm not gonna lie, part of me is tempted to pick something sexy but honestly i'm thinking power ballad
don't stop believing? nothing's gonna stop us now?

it happens because there are laws about it and stuff.
basically when a kid is like around 5 or 6 years old they start going to school. there are lots of schools all over the place - some are really huge and some are smaller. some get run by private organizations like churches but public schools get paid for and taken care of by the government. it's 5 days a week, from morning until afternoon. you just go in and sit in a classroom and learn stuff. kind of like we've been doing with science, except that it's one teacher and a whole bunch of students. there's things called grades, usually 1 through 12, and what grade you're in depends on how old you are. like, it's a progression. so after you're in first grade with one teacher, you move up to second grade with a different one, etc. and you get given stuff called 'homework' which is studying assignments that students are supposed to work on in the afternoon and evening after classes are over.
(i don't know how much of this stuff is the same as how people do lessons in westeros)
depending on how well you do on the homework and in class you get given grades (i know, same word as above, it's confusing) on a scale from A to F where A is the best and F is the worst. if you don't get a good enough grade you get held back and have to repeat a year, and depending on how well you do it can influence what kinds of jobs you can get later on.
anyway all kids are supposed to go, and your parents can get in trouble if you don't show up, until you're a teenager and then no one really cares at that point. so pretty much everyone learns how to read and write and do math, plus some basic stuff about science and history and sometimes other languages.
[ Well..... hopefully that hadn't come out too confusing. ]
i'm sure all that kind of stuff is important, but it sounds like such a pain to me. that's the kind of thing that would be a paid job in my world. like, rich dudes would just hire people do to that kind of thing.
i am glad you know how to read, though. i should give you some books for fun, sometime.
