[ The camera feed turns on revealing a beaming Cisco Ramon, his hair pushed back by the safety goggles perched on top of his head, for that extra science-y aesthetic. ]
Hellllooo, Quarantine! Cisco here, with my guy Barold, and we're here to introduce you all to the newest innovation in cool!
[ He turns the camera to show Barry Bluejeans in a sunny park, next to a makeshift platform holding up what looks like Silver Surfer's wetdream of a skateboard on it. Silver, sleek, and just generally Dope. Barry boots the board up with a touch, and it begins hovering over the platform, underside and edges glowing with a shifting spectrum of colors. ]
That's right, folks. A hoverboard! We call it the Silver Streak. Up to seven feet of lift over any surface - pavement, water, foliage, snake pit, you name it. Max speed of eighty miles an hour, though good luck balancing for anything over thirty-five! Battery life lasts up to three days, we got built-in stabilizers, we got built-in GPS, we got built-in stereo and LED undercarriage-
-Plus this bad boy has 100% magic back up. EMP- that's... what it was called right? Yeah, EMP? No sweat. Magic takes over. Anti-magic field? Engines kick in. This beauty has magic protection to shield all the uh. Juicy bits insideya from exploding if there's an impact-
- and magnetic netting to catch you if you lose your balance!
It comes when it's called and looks for ya so it's safer than just about anything you can use!
Now, who wants to see it in action?
[ A man's voice from just off-screen calls: ] I do!
[ Cisco's hand is visible in front of the camera, urging Barry on. Barry climbs up on the board awkwardly and... wobbles. A lot. He's not the most athletic dude and that's probably super obvious. He flies a few small loops only to quickly lose his balance and beef it. He doesn't fall straight on the ground? There's a brief flash of light - that magnetic netting activating, cushioning the fall a few inches before he hits the ground. It's still really undignified, though, and drops Barry on his butt onto the grass. ]
Maybe uh...
Baaaaaabe? You mind giving us a hand? Pretty please?
[ And someone else is coming on screen - Eddie Thawne, who gives a sheepish wave to the camera as he walks over to where the board is hovering just above the grass, a few feet away from Barry, who is getting to his feet. ]
Um, okay, I've never really done much skateboarding but I'll give it a go...
[ He sounds just as sheepish as his wave was, and he rubs the back of his neck as he heads over to the board. Stepping up on it, he wobbles for a moment, then catches his balance, and abruptly grins, wide and bright.]
Oh wow, this is so cool.
[ Cue Eddie doing a little jump and getting moving, gliding over grass and concrete, and he catches his footing fast enough that he's doing little ollies and grinding the edge of a concrete planter without doing a hint of damage to the surface. Barry and Cisco, naturally, burst into applause, the video going shaky as Cisco appears to jump up and down a few times in sheer jubilation.
There is one last turn of the camera, towards Cisco and Barry whooping and jumping and laughing at the success of their new creation, and the feed ends. ]

[ He's laughing, but it's not unkind. ]
no subject
Ya jealous, bossman.
[ Statement, not question. ]
no subject
[ It's a toss up in his mind, and he actually seems to be considering it - it'd either be hilarious and awesome and fun, or the most horrifically embarrassing thing to happen in centuries.
Or hey, both is possible. ]
no subject
Boss. Bossman. Kravitz. How much I gotta bribe you to get on one of those?
no subject
[Because he wants to see this too.]

[ Now there's no way he's gonna say no ]

Nevermind, I just realized I'm allergic to... silver. The color. Also I have to leave for unrelated reasons.
no subject
You know I'm sure I've seen you wear silver.

I have a doctor's excuse. Right here.
[ Doesn't even try to hide how he reaches over, grabs a notebook and pen from somewhere off screen, writes on it and then holds it up to show the words Gᴏ Aᴡᴀʏ. ]
no subject
Shit, I didn't know you had your medical license.
no subject
[ He adds something to the paper and then holds it up again. ]
There we go, I forgot to sign it.
[ Now it reads Gᴏ Aᴡᴀʏ - Dʀ Kʀᴀᴠɪᴛᴢ, Lᴇɢɪᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇ Hᴇᴀʟᴛʜᴄᴀʀᴇ Pʀᴏꜰᴇssɪᴏɴᴀʟ. ]
no subject
[Yes he does, he's just being difficult.
But he can also be terrible:]
So when are we gonna play doctor, pumpkin?
no subject
He's just gonna do the dry 'I don't know what you could possibly be talking about'. ]
I don't know, is there something wrong with you?
no subject
Yeah I wanna see a skeleton on a hoverboard and some loser won't do it.
