Who: Cisco Ramon
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the marsiva
When: current

[ today you can see cisco ramon putting tons of cheddar gel between two wheat solids, pressing them all together into a sandwich before heating them up on the highest setting available. it's not really grilled cheese but it's as close as it comes.

he's already eating out of a plate of frozen banana cubes ]

ok so eating all of this alone while everyone else is partying is absolutely my senior prom all over again just in space-setting.

[ oh to be a nerd, even in space. ]

so - what do we call ourselves? the fleeters? this is just for future knowledge, I am not in any way implying that title is.

[ the space microwave beeps ]

are they going to serve frozen tequila cubes in that party? because if so then a) awesome and b) I think those should definitely be provided to those of us who are stuck here on board of the SS No-Date.

Just saying.

Kara, I think we might have an opening for someone with your skill-set on this team of people who I appreciate and don't even know.

[ said in a fake-formal way ]

Would you kindly consider our offer of joining our team as our designated taste-tester-item-fetcher?

[takingkarabusiness]

I thought you'd never ask, Cisco.

[ faux drama. which she can't maintain ]

I'm just in it for the eventual cruller discovery. I need donuts.

[benames]

making her intentions known already. a brave move from the young kara as she strives along to achieve her lifelong goal of having space-donuts. will she succeed? stay tuned for our next episode right after these features.

[ what. they're in a reality show ]

I am definitely going to get you those.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she laughs ]

Okay, you are definitely alternate universe Winn. Or brothers from other mothers. I can't decide yet.

[benames]

[ ah! laughter. 10 points for ramon ]

man, I wish.

[ he still has nightmares and daymares from his alternate universe self. thoughts of reverb and his affection to the dark side and passion for power leave him more than a bit creeped out.

especially as he might share his evil doppelganger's destiny. he can't forget who gave him these powers to begin with, can't ignore that with powers that were inspired by dr. wells ( eobard thawne, but he can't seem to ever see him as anything else but wells ) and am evil doppelganger with the same powers - his odds of not going dark himself aren't great


all in all, he'd take being a winn-without-powers any day over having a chance of becoming reverb

but he brushes those thoughts aside, tight smile becoming a brighter one. ]

hey, my actual brother is mostly a dick so I'd take that. Space-nerds, we know our kind.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then I welcome you to the fold. We are all about the found family here.

[benames]

hey, found families are pretty important. I mean, I think you'd like the one I had at home. they're all pretty devoted to good food though not as devoted as me but you know - they have other perks.

[ caitlin is really good with drinks when you get her going and barry can eat over a thousand tacos ok ]

[takingkarabusiness]

They sound great. Do you all work together?

[ One day. One day, Barry and Kara will have an eating contest ]

[benames]

Ah - yeah. absolutely. have been for years now.

[ no longer under a psychopath, thank you very much ]

we all work at S.T.A.R labs. researching. things.

[ cisco, you better find a better description to hide your team flash activities ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Sounds fun! And sciencey.

My friends and I work together too. I guess that's where you mostly find friends as an adult? I don't know. That's never really been my strong suit. [ she laughs a nerdy laugh, and recovers ]

We work at CatCo Worldwide Media. I'm a personal assistant, which seems kind of boring? But I love helping people. Even if it's just latte orders and scheduling meetings.

[benames]

I can't imagine a girl like you having problems finding friends. I mean you're not - you're, you know.

[ gesturing towards her. pretty, he's trying to say without sounding like a creep ]

I mean, not the sort of girls who got shoved into toilets in high school.

[ he smiles ]

hey, if you like your job and I bet you're good at it then it can't be boring. No one likes boring.

[takingkarabusiness]

I had some trouble fitting in in high school... I mean, who doesn't. But I'm kind of weird. But thank you. Late bloomers make for more interesting stories anyway.

[ probably ]

[benames]

Hey, it just shows that the coolest people are all kinda weird when you think about it.

[ mental high five, kara ]

I mean they say weird, I say awesome.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think we're going to get along, Cisco.

Do you have any more questions about all of this?

[benames]

'tis the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

[ in his best Casablanca imitation ]

ah - I don't think so? no chance of a burger around here, huh? or to get my laptop from home? do they let us ask for - anything at all?

[takingkarabusiness]

Not really, no. It's not a two way conversation, unfortunately. We can't even confirm the whole reality tv thing? But there are better stations besides this moon, so you might be able to buy stuff in the future.

[benames]

so we never get Q&A with our alien fans? not even once.

[ a sigh ]

that's weird. I mean. you'd think they'd want to contact us somehow.

[takingkarabusiness]

Not the ones watching, anyway, that I know of.

But I don't really know much about that stuff.

[benames]

well, you know. if anyone's gonna get fanmail it's the nice girl who works as a taster.

[ who's also pretty ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You didn't find someone to replace me in that job already, did you?

[ she's teasing ]

[benames]

I would never betray one of my own, first-officer-of-tasting-kara! not in a million years.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm glad to hear it, captain-food-inventor-cisco.

...That could've been better.

[benames]

........we will work on the titles.

[ firm nod. he can't ruin his naming reputation ok ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Deal.
