Short of a miracle, we're toast
[Maybe that shouldn't be so easy to say, but he's tired. Dying seems like a less horrifying option than going back to running.]
Don't like, worry about it though,
It's a problem for later.
no subject
but i'll do my best.
[ Cisco doesn't know the first thing about astral or celestial planes, or even very much about the relationship between this place and their home worlds, or about the Hunger, or immortality or even fighting - but even if the details are different, he's helped to whip up a miracle or two in his day. And hopelessness is just plain unacceptable, for Cisco. ]
you ever see memento?
it's a movie about a guy who can't remember anything, but he's trying to avenge his wife's murder.
we could watch it sometime. unless that's like, a horribly insensitive thing to suggest. is that a horribly insensitive thing to suggest?
[ Ah yes, the Classic Techniqueβ’ of 'this conversation has gotten too sad, time to take a sharp right turn into pop culture and/or some lighthearted jokes. ]
no subject
Why can't he remember anything?
[It actually sounds, well, familiar. Magnus gave up his quest for revenge in Wonderland, losing the memories of the man who murdered his wife.
Taako realises that he and Merle will probably never get to fulfil their promise to kill Calen for Magnus. It hadn't really occurred to him before, since it was kinda low on the priority list, but it sucks they won't get to do it.]
no subject
[ Probably... well, it's complicated, but he's not going to go spoiling the twist for Taako, now is he? ]
and it isn't like he has complete amnesia, he just can't make new memories, so he remembers his entire life up 'til he got his injury but everything past that point doesn't stick, which makes solving mysteries pretty damn hard.
also the main guy is really hot, just saying
[ What was it Taako said earlier about all the people in earth movies being too damn gorgeous and giving everyone complexes...? ]
no subject
[yes that is absolutely the case and they both probably know it.]
no subject
no subject
It absolutely is, for sure, I can't lie about that. I want David Bowie to do terrible things to me.
[back to TMI after those slight feelings.]
no subject
david bowie, huh? iiiinteresting.
you seen the man who fell to earth?
[ He remembers Taako had mentioned Labyrinth, but maybe he hasn't had a chance to branch out. ]
no subject
[He just assumes everyone wants to fuck Bowie.]
Saw it, kinda dug it, not so much the weird bald look, but I can look past it.
no subject
understandable.
[ And with this text Cisco googles around and manages to find a photo
don't ask how just go with itfrom memento to send along. ]no subject
I'm into it. Did that come from your personal collection or was it online?
[why is he like this]
no subject
[ See! Two can play this game! ]
no subject
π π π
So he's your type then?
no subject
[ This is 100% false. Cisco absolutely has a type and he is lying to himself. ]
no subject
no subject
in that case, yeah, okay, kinda my type, a little bit.
no subject
no subject
so what's your type then
apart from david bowie apparently
no subject
no subject
also, yikes.
hey, if it helps, the person i went home with from a bar ended up keeping me hostage for a whole weekend.
very much not in a sexy way.
no subject
[It's both?? Although the attempted murder happened first so it's probably a feature for him?? Someone help this boy.]
All I'm hearing is that we need to get you laid by someone who isn't crazy.
no subject
like my anti-type
[ Different strokes for different folks, Cisco guesses. It was one thing to sometimes have a bit of a weakness for dangerous women, but Cisco draws the line at anyone who would actually seriously want to kill him. Been there, done that, definitely not looking for a repeat. ]
i mean... you're not wrong.
there was no getting laid involved back then anyway
she faked being into me cuz she wanted me to lure me off and then make me build weapons for her and her brother and his lackey.
[ That sure had been not great for his already lackluster self-esteem. ]
no subject
[Which is kind of what it comes down to; as much as Taako likes playing it safe when it comes to... most of his life, he kind of enjoys the thrill of dangerous people.
Not that he would've tried to date Kravtiz if he'd kept trying to kill them, but it helps with the initial interest.]
Well, that sounds fucking awful. But kinda just reinforces my point. We should go out one night, I'm a great wingelf ;)
[This is half Taako being a shit, and half him thinking that getting Cisco laid might help a little with the self-esteem thing.]
no subject
[ Which is either a weird boast about enjoying boring things just as much as Taako enjoys adventurous ones, or it's a reference to the fact that colorful array of trust issues can and will make him perceive that same level of danger even in someone who has never threatened him in any way whatsoever.
Maybe it's both. ]
no objections from me.
i'm gonna need to see some references for that wingelf position, though.
[ The thing with Lisa Snart had temporarily soured him on the whole bar scene, but Cisco feels like enough time has passed now that he can give it another shot. Especially if he has some company. ]
no subject
[He's the worst.]
I'm the one who finally convinced Barry to stop dancing around Lup and admit he liked her, so I like, invented true love.
[pls]
