[ the first thing that comes up is loud music. cisco is in his lab listening to music in full volume, working on what seems to be a pair of speakers as well as colorful tea bag holders when suddenly he stops, looking ahead, somewhat disoriented and then shouts, just above the music. ]

Ok, the sooner we leave this stupid planet the better!!! before I will go all The Shining on the Atroma's sorry alien asses!!

[ and a moment later, a text message. ]

If you're going to check out the wreckage, be careful. Trust me, seeing the replay of what happened to the it when it went down isn't fun.

I'm suffering from daymares, yo, the least you can do is make sure you know what you're doing down there.

[ladybro]

-- Cisco?

[ it's the shouting that gets her attention. kate's not far, but she hoofs it over to his lab and grabs onto the doorway while swinging inside -- alert, aware. ]

Everything alright?

[benames]

blameless. at the lab.

[brainiest]

I'm coming. Don't go anywhere, okay?

[benames]

[ his head is firmly between his hands, as if he's suffering from a migraine. ]

Going down to that place was an A++ mistake.

[winn]

[ he grabs a bottle of water that's sitting to the side and holds it out to him, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. ]

What's going on? Are you...vibing?

[benames]

[ he watches something, just ahead - on the wall of the room and then cringes and shakes his head. ]

I can't stop them. Turn off the music.

[ closing his eyes, he rubs them, as if he's suffering from a sudden migraine of a sort. ]

action;

[benames]

They were going down in the water. Some of them swam away, they tried to reach the surface.

[ he grabs the water but doesn't open the bottle, doesn't seem to be able to. ]

the - things down there, the monsters, they ate them all.

[benames]

can't go anywhere.

I think I'm going to be sick.

text.

[benames]

[ mostly to make sure she won't see him the way he is, somewhat terrified and very much sick. ]

not in a good state.

I'll be fine in an hour.

I think.

[brainiest]

I'm coming, Cisco.

[ And she is, as quickly as she can manage. Really, she's a touch frustrated that she can't just apparate over to him, but she gets on a shuttle and is over onto the Blameless before she makes her way up to the lab. Then she's with Cisco, reaching out to wrap an arm around him, hand brushing hair from his face. ]

Do you need something to be sick in?

action;

[winn]

[ oh god.

he pulls cisco into a tight hug. denying his power, not learning control, it was a bad idea, clearly. but right now, there's nothing much he can do about it except try to be there for his friend. ]

How long have you been seeing it?

action »

[ladybro]

[ she kills the music with a jab of her finger -- soon enough, there's silence. silence, at least, for her. kate reaches out and takes cisco by his arm. ]

Look at me, bud. Eye contact. Pronto.

text > action

[takingkarabusiness]

that's not a no

[ if he texts her back she won't respond. instead she shows up, poking her head in the door ]

Cisco?

action »

[benames]

[ there's something, just there, he looks ahead with a frown, jumping once she takes his arm. startled, he jumps, grabs a hold of her arm. ]

-- oh boy.

[ it happened again, didn't it? ]

action;

[benames]

A few days.

[ it's a reluctant confession, he finally manages to open the bottle and have a sip of water. ]

Since I've been to the wreckage.

text

[benames]

I think I'm fine.

[ just sporting a headache and slightly sick to his stomach. he leans into her, however, a bit too much of his weight against her. he's usually mindful of these things but today, it all seems to be put aside. ]

You can't go near the wreckage.

[brainiest]

[ Hermione doesn't care; she's half-carried more people around than she'd care to admit and some of her training has made her stronger than she was before. All she does is brush her fingers over his face, careful and concerned. ]

Are you sure? [ Um, but - ] Cisco, what... What happened? What's wrong with the wreckage?

action;

[winn]

Dude - why didn't you call?

[ he lets go so he could drink in peace, but his hand isn't leaving his shoulder any time soon. ]

There has to be something we can do about this, jam the signal. [ days? days of seeing people die horrible deaths? his heart hurts, and fills with shame. why wouldn't cisco come to him with this? ]

action

[benames]

Kara.

[ his head is on the table, his arms pillowing it as he tries to take deep breaths. ]

Yo.

[benames]

The way it went down. They couldn't control it. The people tried swimming to the surface.

[ he can still see their faces, the way panic had made them hectic and terrified. ]

There are monsters down there. sea things. they ate them.
