( hello and happy monday morning to you, universe. skye happens to be on doctor-ordered house arrest. it's a concept that would be great if it meant actually getting out of things she didn't want to do, but considering her concept of work can, in fact, be done from her bed ... well, suffice it to say she's a little bored.
hence going through the list of people wally had given her as vetted and safe, people who might be able to help her out in some way or another. like sir cisco ramon, number one tech dude and somebody wally referred to as "super in touch with vibes".
she's admittedly also not sure if that's supposed to be a double entendre or not, but she's going with it. )
hey there dumb question
is your refrigerator running?
( skye, that's not how you start conversations... )
[ How intriguing! It's not every day that Cisco gets an unexpected text from an unknown source. The content of the text itself ls also totally curiosity-fodder. ]
yeah it is
nice username by the way which is your fave: original flavor or judgment day?
[ It's a subtle enough way to signal that, yes, this is the first time he's seen that name. Just in case it's a wrong-number situation. ]
john connor rocking a public enemy tee? maximum badass linda hamilton as sarah connor? plus, t2 is basically the fundamental big-budget robot throwdown action flick
it's hardly even a contest
( which is, admittedly, not the reason for her call. or text, if you will. )
speaking of things that aren't contests, a very fast friend of mine said you're *the* man to see about off-market can-do gear
[ A text arrives from Cisco, which begins with a selfie in which he is beaming and holding up one hand, palm away from the camera and fingers splayed a bit, the better to show off the ring on his finger. It's not a traditional diamond one, but, the implication becomes clear with the caption: ]
eddie & i got engaged yesterday!
🎉 faq section: 🎉 1. no, we have not started planning yet. 2. yes, that includes picking a date. 3. no, we are not doing an engagement party this place has enough parties already. 4. yes, i am happy to give out deets about how it went down on an opt-in basis.
my fiancée! gotta get used to saying that i legit typed 'boyfriend' and had to go back
the tl;dr is he's a guy from my world he was the only one i knew when i first showed up here also he's the best
kinda funny actually...... the reason i met taako in the first place is he was dating eddie but then they broke up and later me and eddie hooked up but by then taako and me were bros just to make it super confusing for ya
[ They're both very good and nice people and this is a good thing to happen. It's always so good when unreservedly good things happen to good people. Finn still doesn't know Eddie all that well, but he's been on the honorary Would Die For list for a while anyway.
Also about two seconds later: ]
So I AM interested in hearing how it happened. But I'd also like to know if there's an ETA on getting a list of gifts you'd both like. Not that you have to make one. I'd just like a copy if you do.
Congratulations, Cisco! Was Eddie the one to ask? How did he do it?
Also I know you said no parties or anything but you didn't rule out celebratory dinners; Beverly and I would love to have you over some time if you ever want to come gush in person
