[ Well now, that's an interesting development. But Cisco's not gonna comment because Taako having a thing for Rin isn't the point here, precisely. ]

i get you.
i mean imho it's better than if somebody's an asshole
but it sucks knowing somebody's seen you that messed up
especially if they're someone you wanna make a good impression on

If he was a dick about it I could've just told him to fuck off and then never had to like mess around with what the procedure is after someone finds out you're kinda sorta responsible for killing a lotta people

["And saw you have a bit of a breakdown about it" is left off, but implied.]

i mean that's true, it's simpler, but not BETTER.

i think the procedure is to just pretend nothing happened and go back to normal.
and if he treats you different, tell him to cut it out or else

[ Cisco doesn't even think Taako is kinda sorta responsible for what had happened, but he's not getting into that debate right now. ]

Sounds perfect, love that plan

😩😩😩 Could we get like a fucking break though, for real

right like what GIVES
you'd think we'd be due for some good luck already

i guess at least it's just ghosts
better than if any of them were like, the actual people.

[ Either the actual victims at Glamorsprings, or the actual Eobard Thawne. It's a pretty small blessing but he's doing his best here. ]

YOU BETTER TOUCH SOME WOOD RIGHT THE FUCK NOW MY DUDE

i knocked on some before i even typed it are you kidding
it's like you don't even know me

I had to be fucking sure, alright? Not that I wouldn't love the chance to spend a couple hours with Eobard

[ Taako lowkey expressing a desire to torture someone for a prolonged period of time probably shouldn't be sweet, and yet it kind of is. ]

i wouldn't mind a couple hours with sazed either

[ ...okay maybe actual torturing or inflicting pain for more than a few seconds at a time is beyond Cisco's capabilities but he thinks he could at least manage to make Sazed feel really really really bad about himself and his life choices. And then hand him over to Lup. ]

We both know you're not that kinda person, sweetheart, and that's a good thing.

[Taako has little guilt over the deaths he's purposefully had a hand in, and he wouldn't hesitate to hurt someone who who'd fucked with his people, but he doesn't think Cisco should be that way.]

yeah ok

[ Cisco isn't even going to try to pretend. But he quickly adds: ]

i'd for sure give him like the multiverse's most utterly vicious kick to the family jewels tho
i'm that kinda person for sure

Make sure you get a picture if that shit does happen, I'd be pretty into framing it to keep forever

📸
better believe it.

hey but seriously if you're feeling like a distraction to escape the Ghost Bullshit
just hmu we can watch bad cooking shows and yell at them
and i promise i will only ask a minimal number of prying questions abt your love life

[There's a slight delay where Taako doesn't want to say what he's about to say but also very much wants to say it.]

You can ask prying questions about my love life I'm fucking suffering here

[Lup has bigger problems than Taako's gay drama and Lucretia doesn't like Rin so he really just wants to gossip.]

[ That is about ten times more permission than Cisco even needed. ]

okay well then deets immediately
suffering and non suffering related

how did you guys meet
is this the same guy who bid on you in that charity auction thing
what's his world like (unless he's from fearun?)
does he know you've got a crush on him
have you smooched

1. He replied to some shit I was saying on the network and we got talking about magical items so he came over to show me his and I showed him mine

[Not a euphemism! But he'll make it sound like one.]

2. That's the dude and he's who's bed I ended up in that one time? I dunno if I ever mentioned him by name but it was kinda wild, pretty sure he would've like straight up killed anyway who wasn't me

3. He's from Fearun but shitty Fearun, I'm guessing without the Millers cause it hasn't got as much technology and also it just sounds fucking shitty

4. I wish I fucking knew cause then it'd be way less confusing and I'd just make a move. It's not like I'm known for my subtelty and we've been on a bunch of dates but see part 5

5. No 😔 Like on the cheek and hand only

[Which is... very sweet? But still.]

1. 😏

2. oh shit i remember that. did you already like him then? that must've been a thousand kinds of awkward either way.

3. yeah it's the worlds that are really similar to yours except with a few big changes that are the hardest to wrap your head around. imho anyway.

4. i don't know my dude it sounds like maybe you've been more subtle than you think? sometimes you gotta just... go for it even if you're not sure and just hope for the best. esp if you've already been on hella dates. maybe he's waiting for you to make a move and you're waiting for him to make a move...?

5. 😔

2. I sure fucking did and it sure fucking was, not really how I wanted to end up in his bed

3. Drow and elves in his world don't get along which is why it was real fucking weird at first? But we're good now

4. Listen, I couldn't like go in for a fucking kiss after I'd just, you know. The thing with the ghosts

[Occasionally Taako makes good decisions about his emotional state and relationships, and "not kissing someone because he was feeling emotionally vulnerable" was one of them]

I didn't want him to think it was just cause he was there and I was needy or whatever

2. at least he gets that it was something happening to a bunch of people around then, right? not that you just hopped in for no reason?

3. what's a drow?

4. well no i didn't mean RIGHT THEN. i was talking about the next time you go on a date or whatever.

Oh, yeah, he knew that something was up cause I was real fucking confused about how I got there and wasn't trying to fuck with him or anything

A subrace of elves, I guess? Technically me and Lup are high elves but drow are dark elves, they live underground and are kinda more adapted to that so like Rin isn't great at sunlight. Where I'm from the Underdark (drow capital city) is kinda weird but not too rough? But Rin's version of it sounds rough, like with slavery and shit

Okay but what if he's not into me though, what if that thing I said

uhhhhh YIKES you weren't kidding about it being shitty fearun!
...does he live underground here, too?

[ It's not exactly Miami in this place but it gets plenty of sunlight, considering ]

um if he's not into you he's a gigantic fucking idiot
and correct me if i'm wrong but gigantic idiots aren't your type anyway.

seriously tho. if he says he's not interested, we eat some ice cream, you smooch magnus as payback, and then you find somebody who's not a total moron to get a crush on.

Nah he lives in the communal housing which is weird as shit honestly. Not cause of the drow thing he just doesn't seem like the kinda dude who wants other people up in his space, you know?

Gigantic idiots could be my type you never fucking know

[But no not really. Hot goths are his type.]

This is probably gonna sound dumb but like, even if his Fearun isn't the one I know it's still kinda cool to have someone who gets that shit

[And he doesn't want to mess that up just to get his smooch on.]

yeah that is kinda weird.

[ Cisco's brain immediately tosses up the oh so helpful suggestion that Rin staying in communal housing under those circumstances is very suspicious, and leaps from there neatly to 'what if he's secretly evil and hiding it and he's up to something and going to hurt Taako'. A part of him recognizes it as paranoia, as a reflex, but... Cisco is sure as hell going to vet this guy the first chance he gets. Even if he was nice to Taako after he saw those ghosts. ]

it doesn't sound dumb
but take it from me the weird in between limbo doesn't do anybody any good
chances are he has gotten a crush vibe off you but he's unsure

Maybe he's just real tight about money

[It makes sense, since it'd contributed to Taako staying in the communal housing so long.]

So like, I should show up outside his window with a boombox?

[time 4 jokes]

yeah true.

there ARE worse ideas.
i mean you could cook him some drow cuisine i guess
probably not something he can find super easy here
that's a really nice gesture but not as like permanent as a gift.
