How do you feel about cards?
Playing cards, that is.
The greeting cards I've seen about are endearing, but dreadfully lacking in purpose in this context.
And good evening, by the way. How are things?

hell yeah, you thinking about starting a poker league or something?
i'm totally down
get can get our casino royale on.

things are good
at the lab doing dope science shit cuz my life is awesome.

No.
Nor do I know what "poker" is, but I digress.

I found in a little shop tucked out of the way, a deck of cards from my homeland! Thedas! Specifically, this deck is used to play a game we call "Wicked Grace". It's easy to learn, difficult to master, and lends itself very well to drinking.

Also, I'm glad to hear of your "dope science shit". Anything I should know?

wicked grace?
sounds awesome
how about you teach me that and i'll bring some playing cards and teach you poker
hell maybe i can even poke around see if i can find a deck for lotería
make this game night really lit

and no, nothing in the should category
but i'm of course happy to talk your ear off about what i'm working on
as always

I can assure you it is, especially if you get the right sort of people involved. I'll leave that up to your imagination.

I would love to, on both counts. I was thinking, though, of making this something of a group endeavor. Feel free to bring Eddie, or a friend. Or both. I should find a suitable location, though. Mayhap a tavern or something.

You're free to ramble, Cisco. It's always enlightening.

i will absolutely bring eddie
and maybe i'll invite south?
she seems like the kinda gal who would go for some card games
have you two met?

tavern sounds just about right

well right now i'm perfecting my molecular scanner
it's a device that can register the frequency that cells are vibrating at to a very precise degree
and if i can get it accurate enough it'll let me measure what version of reality stuff is from
and people, too

As a point of fact, no. I have not met South. That is a proper noun, is it not? South is her name, not a direction?

Indeed it does.

Really? That's fascinating! Would this resonance also be capable of determining which versions of one reality things or people have come from? For example, whether or not yourself and Eddie are from the same Earth, or myself and Iona are from the same Thedas?

yeah it's her name
she's like eddie's bff
badass space marine lady. i bet you'd like her. she's got a great sense of humor.

that's exactly the sort of thing i'd be using it for, yep.
it's already working i just want to make it so the processing is quicker and the readings more accurate
they're getting closer but i want the margin of error to be as tiny as possible.

Perhaps.
I like far fewer people than you realize.
She is, nonetheless, welcome, of course.

(He's a very good actor, and he feels he knows Cisco well enough to divulge that information.)

Would scanning myself and Iona be of any benefit to your adjustments? As a control group, of course.

[ Cisco's not really sure what Dorian means by saying he doesn't like many people. After all, he's always been nothing but friendly to Cisco, who still sees himself as intrinsically somewhat annoying and unlikeable. Maybe Dorian just thinks of himself as being picky about people because he's been surrounded by shitty people most of his life. Seems fairly likely. More likely than him being a misanthrope, the way he's describing himself. And Cisco's sure now Dorian will like South. ]

yeah, that would be super helpful
i mean as long as you're both okay with it?
it's totally non-invasive, all you've gotta do is stand there for a few minutes

That sounds remarkably difficult, but I think we can manage.

I jest, of course. I'll have a word with her on the matter. Otherwise, I'll let you know when I've arranged something.
