[ open ] call it your 2.0, your rebirth, whatever
who: cisco + anyone!
what: catch-all + tdm prompts + fajro prompts
when: february
where: various places!
warnings: will add as needed
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. ]

[ Besides— well, he's biased but he likes his Spock better. A little less predictable, and less restrained too. Figures Jim would appreciate the more human qualities in him, of course. ]
No, she never met the other me, I don't think. She did know of me, but from what I understand, my name lives on for a long while.
[ So yeah, you know. Not to brag or anything but he is sort of famous. ]
Deep space mission. Exploring new areas of uncharted space, finding new worlds and civilizations, that sort of thing. A longterm mission like that usually involves months of travel in-between stops, and we don't really go back to Earth until it's done. There are a number of colonies and starbases we dock at every once in a while, but the Enterprise is designed for optimal efficiency, so we require as little resupplying as possible.

Can't really blame 'em. I wouldn't want to hang out with a version of me from another timeline. That's just an awkward sitcom waiting to happen, and not one I want any piece of, thanks.
[ When he mentions that Beverly's heard of him, Cisco raises his eyebrows slightly, just a touch of friendly sarcasm coming into his voice as he comments: ]
Big legacy, huh? Wow, no pressure there.
[ He tosses out that joke lightly, but it really says something about who Cisco is as a person that his first response isn't awe, or congratulation, but rather an assumption that knowing about that will be, to a certain degree, anxiety-inducing for Jim. ]
Wow. That sounds awesome. Not the months of travel bit. I'd probably go totally stir-crazy. But the finding new worlds, charting the uncharted, doing the whole great big explorer thing....
no subject
Right? I mean— it's not a bad thing having someone who thinks like you, or close enough anyway. But it'd be too weird, like... have someone inside my head. Can't even imagine how awkward it would be.
[ Luckily it's not something he's ever had to deal with, so there's that. He purses his lips at the teasing remark, shrugging it off. ]
I've got practice handling pressure, so I can deal with it.
[ Well, at least Cisco isn't rolling his eyes at Jim over it— though to be fair, he doesn't brag about it anymore, not as much as he used to anyway. He's not gonna lie, he does like people knowing about him, but his fame doesn't govern his life, his choices and actions. ]
You get used to it, mostly. Sometimes it gets very quiet and... humdrum, in a way. But the good bits are definitely more than worth it. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
