What's up, my dude, it's ya boy Taako with two super quick questions.
1) Could you rec me like, a movie for a chill date? Doesn't have to be a romance or whatever, just something fun.
[He doesn't know that Cisco knows about him and Eddie, so he doesn't expect any dots to be connected. Cisco just seems to know his stuff re: films.]
2) Do you know anything about alternate realities?

sure thing.
the princess bride is my go-to for dates: adventure, romance, humor, and it's got a happy ending. if you're feeling something a little more sci-fi or [ Is it Eddie? Can he ask if it's Eddie without it seeming weird? Eddie said they weren't an item but Cisco's not sure he buys that... ] whoever you're watching with doesn't feel like that, i'd say the fifth element or back to the future.
[ To tell the truth, he's pretty flattered that Taako would ask him for recommendations. ]
i know some of the scientific ideas behind multiverse theory, but this is the first time i've actually been in another universe.
i also know a little bit about alternate timelines, which is not quite the same thing, though sometimes there's some overlap.
how come? did something happen?

So, when I was talking about improving roombas? I wanted to talk about how we had AIs to help us with basically everything on my planet.
From medical care to household chores. Fact: Kelex cooked better than my father did.
( A beat. )
I know Star trek has Data, but I'm wondering if your Earth has anything remotely like what I knew growing up. Or if we could build it.
That'd be a fun challenge!
( And he doesn't need her to do it; she well knows what he's capable of. But it'd be nice to contribute anyway. )

first of all, your planet sounded awesome.
[ Normally he'd be a-bubble with questions, but Cisco is a touch more circumspect, knowing as he does that Krypton met a tragic fate. He's still curious as hell, but he can go about it with a little bit of tact. ]
we haven't got androids, and we definitely don't have functioning ai. the earth will, in the future. barry invents one, apparently. which we know because we found it in this creepy time vault and it said so.
hell yeah it would be. to be honest i wouldn't even know where to start. i mean... i've got some ideas....

[ Peggy may usually live for understatements, but Cisco absolutely lives for anything even resembling praise or validation, so he'll definitely take it. He absolutely needs a few seconds to just beam at his phone in sheer glee before he texts back: ]
✌🏽 i take it you liked the gift?

I got a question that you're probably gonna think is stupid, but this is like some reference I'm not getting and you're all over that shit so.
What does the number sixty nine have to do with sex? Is it from a movie or something?
[He's heard it come up a few times but he's been too hesitant to ask in case it makes him look real dumb so: Cisco.]

real talk is there like a point where you can call the cops on a couple for getting way too pda in a bar
pretty sure if you see dick that's the signal
up to that point your only option is glaring. lots of glaring.

[ It takes Cisco a few minutes to notice the notification on his phone; his headphones are on and he's doodling out ideas for a portal gun - probably not anything he'd ever be able to make in real life, but it's good silly fun. Once he sees Eddie's texted him, though, he replies at once. ]
yeah, what's up?
yeah, what's up?
[At some point, Cisco will come home to find a little parcel on his bed, with a note attached. It's enchanted to only be opened and read by him, in case Yuri goes snooping.
The note is simple, in Taako's pretty but near fucking unintelligible handwriting:]
Something to help track your vibes.
[Inside the package is a very stylish fitbit-equivalent device, with a heartbeat monitor. Taako's figuring that the vibes are a result of high emotions, and that usually comes with an elevated heartrate, so he figures this might help Cisco keep track of what conditions result in a vibe.]

[ Cisco finds the present a few hours after Taako leaves it, takes a moment or two to decipher the message, and test out the neat little device, before he texts back: ]
what's the occasion?
(i'm kinda surprised you figured it out. took me ages, didn't realize until a little bit ago)

Hey, Cisco! It's Magnus! I figured out how to get supplies, so if you wanna talk bookshelves, I'm ready! Also, this is Magnus.
hi magnus! that's awesome. do you want to like come to my house and check out the space?
you probably need to take measurements and that sort of thing? and i don't know... pick up the vibe of the space so the shelves match with the rest or whatever? i know nothing about carpentry stuff, sorry.

hey Cisco. it's Bill.
I just wanted to tell you, I'm sorry I didn't believe you, when you told me about the Doctor. I really had forgotten all about him. I remember him now, but...
he's gone. and I hope he'll come back in his TARDIS to get me, but idk if he can.
anyway. I'm sorry. that's all.

[ Oh no, Cisco has sent a few of these texts himself, today, but this is the first one he's actually gotten. It's been a pretty rough day, but even with how contained her text was (seems like she designed it not expecting a response), Cisco isn't going to just say nothing. Not if the Doctor is gone. ]
hey bill
there's no need to apologize.
if it helps - turns out i'd forgotten stuff, too. didn't even realize.
anyway this whole amnesia thing sucks ass and it wasn't your fault so don't sweat it alright?
[ He's more concerned about her friend from home being missing, and how she's handling that. ]
he's gone? for how long? did he say anything to you before he went?

[A little while after his encounter with Rin, Taako decides that it was Definitely Weird, which means that he should probably figure out what the fuck happened, and since it didn't feel like magic (he's resistant to charm and sleep, anyway), he figures it might be a science thing/
Which means Cisco.
But instead of texting him anything useful, Taako just sends an image:]

Yo, Cisco! You got a minute? I have kind of a weird question for you.
wait for real???
[ Cisco doesn't think Taako would joke about this, and Magnus had texted some amount of time before about whether he should trust Taako. It's not totally out of the blue, but it is delightful news. ]
so he remembers now
(but he's still from like 10 years before you, right?)
[ This stuff can get confusing, he just wants to be sure... ]

sorry i meant what's up?

I got a canister and got updated and shit and I'm kinda dead? So... uh... don't be scared if you see me?

cool. got it. 👍🏽
...you good?
[ Cisco knows that in the past those canisters have caused some hardship and hurt feelings for Lup and her family, and even if her being dead is in a lich way that she chose herself and was all involved with magic... it's still being dead. ]

Hey, Cisco.
(There's no way to just throw this out there without kind of sounding like she's sticking her nose in it, so Lucretia just decides to go for it. Her messages are a bit disjointed, but only because she knows that if she stopped and deleted and re-typed as she saw fit she'd be here forever.)
I
Taako mentioned in passing that you were being haunted too and
You know the spell you asked me about? It was months ago now, but you asked me about abjuration magic; specifically wards. I know how to do those spells now, so if you
I could cast those for you, if you were looking for some extra protection.

[ Cisco had explicitly told Taako that he didn't mind if he mentioned anything about Eobard and the whole ghost stalker situation to anyone, but it's still a surprising message to get, particularly when things have still been a touch weird between him and Lucretia. But he's kind of touched that she even remembers that early conversation, considering everything that's happened since. ]
taako already fixed me up with some anti-ghost wards for my workshop, and my apartment's sort of in a spot where ghosts have a hard time getting to i guess
but i think he's still working out a way to ward me like when i'm going from place to place.
the ghost that's been following me is kind of persistent. and also kind of a creep.
do you know of any way to like... make a warding spell mobile?
[ Then, because he saw that too and it could mean Taako or Lucretia, in the context, and because he's curious, he asks: ]
the ghosts been giving you any trouble?

[Most people wouldn't get any kind of explanation, about things like this, but Cisco is not most people and Taako feels like he should... tell him, about why he reacted so poorly to the topic of his own hauntings.]
The ghosts from Glamorsprings are here, the ones Sazed killed.
[It lacks the usual rambling or flourishes that Taako would put in a text, which says... a lot.]

[It lacks the usual rambling or flourishes that Taako would put in a text, which says... a lot.]
[ The text isn't exactly a surprise. It had been obvious something was up that Taako wasn't telling him, and Cisco gets why saying it via text is easier, feels safer for Taako. He knows that amongst all the bad things that have happened in Taako's life, Glamorsprings is one of the worst, at least in terms of how much it had impacted him. ]
fuck
[ With some people Cisco would hold back that initial response, wait to think up something very careful and thoughtful and supportive. But Taako's Taako and Cisco figures he'll appreciate honesty more. ]
did you spot them somewhere in a crowd or are they following you?
can you make a ward for yourself for a bit like you did for me?
[ But Taako didn't tell him because he wanted Cisco to have pragmatic ways of fixing it - he told him because it's awful and Cisco's his friend. ]
i'm so sorry, dude.
you shouldn't have to go through this

🚨🚨🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🚨🚨
We're doing a spa day and dinner, by decree of me and Lucretia. To apologize for all the shit you had to see and we even promise we're not gonna fight and make it weird
[He's being Over The Top about this, to detract from the fact they're basically trying to apologize for him experiencing their shitty traumas, even if it wasn't anyone's fault.]
PS I took your advice vis-à-vis being honest about shit with Rin and 😎😏👌😎😏👌

you know that's not necessary
i mean... let's be real here
you & i both know that all of this memory garbage isn't all that much different from what happens to me on the reg with my vibes
BUT it's not like i'm gonna say no to a spa day!
(never had a spa day before but it sure sounds fun)
do i need to bring anything?
[ He appreciates the extraness, and the offer itself. As much as he's playing it off as no big deal (and certainly none of it had been Taako or Lucretia's fault), Cisco's been having these dreams and visions a lot, and it's been wearing him down pretty thin. A little rest and relaxation might do some good. ]

how did you do that countdown, that is so dope
you should see how my gangster outfit's coming along...

You got any surveillance equipment?
