Who: Winn Schott + you = awesome
Broadcast: yup!
Action: Tourist!
When: now!

[ the feed opens with a profile view of a sleeping winn. on his face, you can see an elaborate sharpie painted mustache (courtesy of opal) and from the ceiling right above him hangs a plastic flamingo in a coat and plastic sunglasses (courtesy of cisco).

to anyone who's been by to see him lately, it's a very familiar scene. but seconds into it something that hasn't happened in about two weeks begins to take place - movement. with a soft groan, winn reaches a sluggish hand to his face, shielding his eyes from the light. the hand then seems to decide that scratching above his upper lip is better use of its time and skills. slowly, his eyes blink open, struggling to adjust, to focus.

and then they do. on that flamingo.

he yelps, jumping up in bed, tearing the flamingo off its strings and throws it across the room, where he proceeds to stare at an off frame army of (four) flamingos. rubbing at his temples he mutters just loudly enough to be captured on film ] So Cisco's still here...

[ that seems to remind him of something, and with a sharp move his still sleepy mind can't seem to properly cope with, grabs at the communicator and misses. next attempt brings it into his hand and you finally get a close up of that glorious mustache.

he frowns into the camera ]

Of course it's rolling... [ his voice is raw, lips chapped, and he clears his throat in an attempt to bring back his usual volume ] Hi - Fleeters - if we're still calling ourselves that - Winn Schott here, back to the world of the conscious - if you recognize me check in and tell me how long I've been out - Kitty - you better still be here. [ because unless you call him within the next 10 seconds he's calling you as soon as he cuts this feed and if you're not there he will freak. he rubs at his painted mustache again, not quite realizing what's bothering him, and with a small tired smile fumbles to shut the broadcast off. ]

I'm not so sure anymore - [ he is absolutely teasing her. ]

I'm all about truth and justice.

And looking your best friend in the eye and not telling him he gets to meet Superman.

Honestly, I thought it was kind of a given, on account of who your best friend is.

Hey I've been your best friend for years, it still only happened kinda by coincidence.

Okay, well, I'm sorry for being remiss in mentioning that. Any other grievances?

Yes, you are being way too serious about this. So thoughts, feeling - freaking love the DEO. Holy shit why didn't I move here sooner, freaking love the DEO.

You know, I don't know. Maybe because you didn't know about it for a really long time? But I'm glad it's such a good fit for you; definitely where you belong. Honestly I don't know how we got on without you before.

[ he also lacked the confidence to do it. seems silly now. ]

I come in handy.

So you remember Thanksgiving?

Yeah, I remember Thanksgiving.

[ he nods ]

And a little more.

Really? You're ahead of me now? No way!

Surprise, I've been upgraded to future Winn.

So? Tell me stuff!

Hmmn, are we into the spoiler thing, though? Cuz I was kind of under the impression that wasn't our thing -

I just didn't want to say something and screw it up again. I don't mind.

Kara... [ he sighs, running his fingers through his hair. why is it that every time that he dares express his feelings and boundaries it ends up biting him in the ass? first it was kitty, assuming that because he got jealous of her basically taking tyrion out on a date when he obviously had feelings for her means that he'd be jealous over every little nonsense, and now this. ] I wasn't mad because of anything you told me, I just wanted to get to choose what, how, and when other people get to know about me. [ especially his girlfriend in regards to his love life which, now that he's been through it, he also feels was unfairly represented but that's really not something he needs to get into. ] You're my best friend, you can always talk to me about anything you want.

[ why did the tone chaaaaaaange. winnnnnnnnnnnn ]

I told you a lot, anyway. But being here and remembering stuff from home, sometimes it feels like a dream. But now that you remember even more than I do, it's not an issue anymore.

[ because it's important to him that she doesn't feel like she can't talk to him, that's why, okay! gosh, he's trying to be a good friend. ]

It's just...reversed. But basically it's you know - me being handy, you being punchy, Alex being shooty - [ should he tell her what he remembers? he remembers her face when she found out the first time around. and james isn't even here to defend himself.

they're all they have here, from home. why make things awkward over something that doesn't even matter here. ]

That's going to be in our obituaries, I'm sure. "Alex was shooty."

[ he laughs ]

Mine, for sure.

So you've survived two family Thanksgivings chez Danvers now.

I did, gotta wonder what next year's gonna be like -

Hopefully we'll just get less awkward every year.

Mmmhm, [ he shakes his head ] wouldn't be us if we didn't make it awkward.
