I. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
[ Cisco thought that the crystal caves sounded exactly like something from a fantasy series he had loved as a child, so of course, he dragged Eddie to go and see them with him. There had been nothing ominous about the place, at the time. It isn't until a few days later that Cisco's dreams start to show the sign of outside influence. They become vivid, surreal, and most importantly, he starts having guests. A few times he'll have a passing thought about a friend before falling asleep, only to run into them in his dream. He's no stranger to unusual dreams, and - after what had happened in October - not even a stranger to encountering other people in them.
But it's still pretty damn weird. ]
You see that, right? It's not just me?
[ Cisco asks the question to whoever is standing next to him, pointing down an empty city street at the looming figure of what is, unmistakably, a Godzilla-sized robotic panda. ]
II. CLEANING HOUSE
[ Cisco had rolled his eyes at first at the idea of a whole holiday based around cleaning. What could be less fun? He's always been somewhat inclined to keep stuff. After all, you never know what use it could be later. He spends plenty of his time scavenging the things other people left behind in the abandoned parts of the city, for materials and parts for his work.
But once he and Eddie decide to share the same room, he realizes he is going to have to get rid of at least some of his stuff, to make room. So he reluctantly starts, only to find himself getting more and more into the task. He can be seen either having a cute little yard sale to get rid of various items (clothing, books, etc.), or else taking what remains after the sale down to the bonfires by the river. ]
III. CLEARING THE AIR
[ Along with everyone else in the Quarantine, as the month progresses, he finds himself dwelling on resentments from his past. Unfortunately for Cisco, most of those resentments pertain to people who aren't even here. Once the 15th rolls around, he finds that his sense of taste has vanished completely. A few conversations with others tell him that this is probably something to do with the holiday, that he needs to clear the air.
But what is he supposed to do, when the people he's feeling resentful towards aren't even here?
So Cisco can be found all that week making his way around town, sitting in a park or perhaps at a bar, slump-shouldered and wan and uncomfortable, needing (but not knowing it) someone to talk to. A good heart-to-heart will put things right, but he's not aware of that yet.
He is also, despite his distraction, more than happy to listen to others' woes, or any resentments held against him. ]

When Cisco brings up Captain Boomerang, Wally lets out a snort, a playful thing, and shakes his head a bit. ]
Captain Boomerang and good times are words I never thought I'd hear together.
[ Not even the Rogues could really tolerate the man known as George Harkness. He was rude, a bit of a coward, and cruel even by their standards. The last he heard of Harkness he was sent to Belle Reve after Barry busted him for the numerous time.
He fights off a smile (the line about eye makeup is funny) as Cisco goes on about his experience with his doppelganger, because while stuff like that may be par for the course for Wally and his friends back home, it's not for Cisco and is clearly something that has weighed on his mind. ]
I actually think the evil doppelganger or counterpart is a rite of passage that most heroes go through at one point or another. One of my friends back home went through something like that. She ended up punching her other self back where she came from. You just got to remember it's not you, and it never has to be.
[ He doesn't mention how Donna is still dealing with the fallout of finding out a future version of herself had gone crazy from watching her friends die one after the other while she survived due to her being essentially immortal. It was a little bit more than your ordinary doppelganger experience.
After Cisco beams up at him, Wally removes his hand from the other man's shoulder so he can gesture to the boxes and items lying around. ]
So... are you sure you want to toss whatever is left in the bonfire? I mean, you might be able to find a pawn shop or community center that might take these things off your hands. I could go around and check if you want.
sorry this took a million years
[ Cisco likes it when they catch the metas who are real scumbags, unquestionably. With people like Shawna Baez, they had to be stopped, but it felt weird to rejoice over it. But there was no worrying about moral quandaries when it came to Captain Boomerang. He'd had bombs ready to go off all over the city: he'd thought he had it all figured out, and Cisco and his friends had outwitted and outplayed him. ]
Seriously?
[ He doesn't even make an effort to hide how grateful he is to hear that. Cisco searches Wally's face, waiting for the naw, just kidding, but it doesn't come. Instead he is talking about a friend of his who had fought with her evil doppelganger, and Cisco can't help but laugh softly. Because, the truth is, he has worried about it. Quite a lot. He's wondered what it was about him that made him so close to being evil that all it would take is a tiny nudge. He'd spent hours and sleepless nights afraid that it might be his fate, inevitably. ]
Okay. Shit. I'm really glad to hear that, man. I thought I was the only one.
[ Wally's offer reminds Cisco so much of how Barry would offer to go run to Coast City to get them pizzas, or other ridiculous tasks made easier by his speed, and Cisco can't help feeling a rush of fondness for Wally, too. ]
I mean, I'm not gonna say no...
