[ Cisco doesn't really know if there's a term for a spit-take, where instead of a drink it's a cupcake, and instead of spitting it out you nearly choke. But that's what happens, when Taako responds how he does, right after Cisco has taken a bite. He inhales bits of cupcake crumb and has to cough for a few seconds, throat burning. At least that gives him an excuse for how red he's gone in the face, though most of that is from embarrassment. His voice is croaky as he insists, hastily: ]
It's not- I didn't- get your mind outta the gutter!
[ Once he's coughed a few more times and regained some tiny scrap of his composure, Cisco explains: ]
I've got this theory that different universes and maybe planes, and all the people and stuff from them, vibrate at very slightly different frequencies. That's what keeps them separate, most of the time, except it doesn't change for YOU when you cross from one to another. So you'd vibrate at 0.8, and maybe I'd be 0.2, and stuff from this moon is a 0.5 or whatever. The real numbers would be way more complicated than that, I'm simplifying. So basically, I'm thinking, since I can manipulate dimensional energy, maybe the way to make a breach between universes is to learn how to alter the frequency of the vibration. But to do that I gotta have some targets to work towards.
[ The usual process of boiling down and simplifying the kind of science he does is even harder, when he's drunk and out of breath from coughing, but Cisco does his best. ]
