do you really think i wouldn't've already been buying you vodka icob (in case of breakup)???
hope you like the cupcake flavored kind

wow ok you know i was gonna get mad but i deserve that
definitely not
definitely a one time only occurrence

anyway possible break-ups should be the last thing you're worried about right now
you should be focusing on all the fun shit you're gonna do together
before you even start typing get your mind outta the gutter i mean FUN DATES
got anything in mind yet?

There are other kinds?

[AKA cupcake vodka is the best kind of vodka, accept no substitutes.]

Fuck I just imagined you and Magnus and I'm losing my mind 🤣 Thanks

Does crime count as a date idea 🤔

i mean there's whipped cream flavor too but that's for cowards

[ Is Taako counting Magnus as an 'ex', then? Cisco thinks about making a joke but he decides upon reflection that he's not touching that with a ten foot pole. ]

glad you're having fun
also i could never, first because i'm not some kinda serial ex-dater
and second because dating magnus would give me an ulcer for sure
like eddie is reckless sometimes and that's bad enough but magnus is off the charts

[ How did he end up with so many people in his life who fling themselves into danger so much? ]

depends on the kind of crime
also u might wanna be careful
i can't imagine any worse date mood-killer than getting arrested by your ex
like that's some new level of awkward yet undiscovered

Unless you put those bad boys together

[And then die from alcohol poisoning maybe but. worth it.]

I mean I get that but like, you never gotta worry about Magnus cause he can take some serious hits. I've seen him fall like thirty feet and get right back up

[His AC is really high??? Nevermind that he's died a bunch of times.]

First of all, fucking rude that you're assuming we'd get caught
Secondly it's totally the victimless kind of crime
Or the victims are super rich so who cares

you know i've never actually done that?
could be great could be horrible
we should try it out.

well first of all i've never not worried about anything so jot that down

i've seen him fall super far and get back up okay too
see: the whole bear pit fiasco

buuuut i also vibed him getting his head bashed in a couple weeks ago when he was out looking for mushrooms
i texted him in time to warn him or whatever but
kinda freaked me out a little slash a lot

[ Cisco doesn't know if that was one Magnus had mentioned to Taako, and if so, how much detail he'd given. ]

i'm not assuming you'll get caught i'm just saying
the stakes are high
that is the fucking russian roulette of potential awkward situations

I'm down, I could use a drink after this entire month so far

[It's not that he doesn't believe Cisco, especially since he'd been told about that little near disaster, it's just weird to think of Magnus like, actually for real dying, even if it was averted. Magnus is just There and always will be there and Taako doesn't like to think about the fact that he's likely to outlive Magnus by centuries, regardless of how the idiot dies.]

Magnus nearly dying is like, a Tuesday. He'll be fine

[Dismissive! Because he's an asshole!]

Listen, I get where you're coming from, but isn't there something about the best revenge being living well? What better way to rub my new dude in my ex's face than getting caught doing something fun and illegal

[He's being hyperbolic here, since like, Cisco is dating that ex and he doesn't actually have any hard feelings towards Eddie.

Rin is definitely more fun though.]

Edited (dont @ me) 2017-10-19 03:58 (UTC)

hard same my dude.

yeah you're probably right
this place is getting me lazy
back home we used to nearly die once a week and i didn't stress

i think rubbing your ex's face in it w a new dude sounds great in theory but in practice it'd be terrible and you know it
plus eddie would probably ruin it by being way too nice about it & happy for you

also u know what no deets on the heist, the less i know the better.....

so when am i gonna meet this rin guy anyway?
i've got an extensive vetting process all ready to go

Edited 2017-10-19 20:59 (UTC)

That sounds fake as shit, I refuse to believe you didn't still worry

Fuck though you're right, Eddie would be super nice about it even if he was arresting us, it'd ruin all the fun

I'm gonna give you the deets to make you an accessory so you can't snitch to your boyfriend, this is all part of the plan

We keep talking about doing something like a dinner or whatever, we being the crew not me and Rin but he'd be invited and you won't even get a real invite cause we'll all just assume you're gonna be there. But shit keeps coming up, first Lup and now this shit, I dunno if anyone is in the mood for an evening of chill conversation right now

And no vetting! It's bad enough that Lucretia doesn't like him

ok ok you're right but there's degrees of worry.

u really wanna play that game? have you SEEN my poker face taako?
besides if he put his hands on his hips or frowned one time i'd cave like wet cardboard.

you know in my experience it's at times when the shit never stops never stopping that you need a chill dinner party the most.

what's lucretia got against him?
is it cuz of magnus?

I'm sure you've got like a whole rating system designed with colors and everything

[gently dragging people is how friendship works right]

Cannot believe you're gonna go to jail because you couldn't keep my heist secret from your boyfriend, it's a real fucking shame

Seems more like a 'get real drunk and dance a lot' kinda shitty month over 'hang out at Taako's and eat too much' kinda month, you feel?

She thinks he's always negging her

[He's such a snitch]

wow rude

[ Yeah, Taako officially knows him way too well by this point, because that's spot on. Sure, his rating system wasn't color-based, but it might as well have been. ]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ok you've got a point but why not both???

wait seriously?
about like magic or what?
i'm used to hearing negging as a pickup thing and presumably he wasn't trying to hit on lucretia because you said he's not an idiot

Let's see how shit is in like a week, I mean Lup's still not totally got the body thing, just the vessel Loki made

Nah I dunno I guess it's like, cause he kinda comes across as if he doesn't mean anything he says, you know? he's too charming and Lucretia has zero tolerance for that shit

She also doesn't like shit she doesn't immediately understand and can't work out how to control so maybe that's part of it.

vessel?
is that like the mannequin thing, with magnus in wonderland and all?

right, gotcha.

[ It is a complicated question, because in Cisco's experience, charming people often were using charm to cover something else up. But that something else isn't always malicious, and he doesn't think Taako's wrong about Lucretia not liking things and possibly people she can't control. ]

alright no vetting
charming's not necessarily a bad thing
i'll judge for myself.
he likes you, so that's already one point in his favor.

Kinda? Like it's made from magic and it looks like Lup but it's not her body, so it's hard for her to stay in it?

Oh, he's definitely got good taste, that was never in question
Pretty confident you'll get along cause like, I can't imagine you not getting along with someone unless they're a massive asshole

hey so i already told her this and i know it's probably mostly a magic thing but if there's like, ANYTHING i can do with the whole 'let's get lup a body to live in again project', you know i'm game.

and hopefully he's not one of those.

[ Cisco isn't sure if that is meant as a compliment or a neutral comment, but, well, of course he's inclined to think the people he doesn't get alone with are assholes. Does that mean they are, objectively? Who knows. In Dante and Hartley and Snart's case, probably, yeah. ]

Unless you've got science cloning down pat we're gonna have to go with magic on this one

[It was half a compliment, half neutral. Mostly it's just that Cisco is a fairly easy going and friendly guy. Like, he can get along with Taako, that's a high bar.]

I'm doing pretty good on the choosing dudes front so like, fingers crossed?
