[ The video starts off shaky, clearly taken using the front-facing camera on a phone being wielded by a deeply intoxicated Cisco Ramon. He is pink-cheeked and bright-eyed and giggling so much he has difficulty speaking. ]

Heyooo Quarantine! Sup! Guess what?! It's my birthday today! That means I'm twenty fuckin' five, which means I'm totally old, and wise, and stuff. So I thought it'd be fun if y'all sent me, like, questions! For advice! You know, like Dear Abby, only instead it's Dear Cisco. I've been around a whole quarter of a century now so you best believe I've got plenty of knowledge I can drop on ya like that!

[ He lifts the hand not holding the phone, clearly meaning to snap, but realizes belatedly he's still holding a glass. He turns away from the screen, muttering a quick Babe, babe hold this for me- before handing off the drink to someone outside the shot. Then he looks at the camera once more and snaps, not loudly enough to be heard and late enough that it is unintentionally very comical. ]

It's cool if you send them anonymous or not, anything goes. Lemme help you make some good-ass choices in your life! Or if you're not feeling the advice game you could just like do some shout outs and holler at your loved ones.

Taaaako! Hey, Taako!

[ Yep, he's drunk enough to just be surprised and delighted at Taako responding, and to spend a solid fifteen to twenty seconds just beaming and waving. The happiness coming off him is practically tangible through the video. ]

I'm ancient, now! I'm gonna have to start taking those vitamins they make for old people, and complaining about new tech not making any sense.

[Taako laughs, in part because the other option is a dumb fond smile and no one needs to know exactly how much he adores Cisco.]

Am I gonna have to start explaining memes to you? The way I gotta with Lucretia?

[dragged]

[franciscoramon]

[ Cisco giggles at that, for a little longer than he should, because everything hilarious to him at the moment, and he can absolutely picture Taako explaining some meme or other to Lucretia. ]

Yeah, and when you show me a video I'm gonna ask you "who are these people? are they your friends? where did this come from?"

[ The ultimate horror indicating complete obsolescence - not understanding that most things on the internet just Are, without origin or context or explanation. ]

I dunno if that's worse than socks with sandals but it has gotta be up there when it comes to horrible shit that old people do.

[This is a very serious conversation.]

[franciscoramon]

Nothing - nothing - is worse than socks and sandals. I don't care if I live to be 100 years old, you bet your ass I'm still gonna have the flyest kicks available. Even if I'm using a walker and I've gone completely blind, like, I'll just know.

[ It is a serious conversation, and shoes are a serious topic. Taako might be the fashion savvy one when it comes to clothes, but Cisco takes pride in his shoes, thanks very much.

(And perhaps if he was sober he would've thought better than reminding Taako of the fact that the best case scenario for his longevity is still absolutely nothing compared to elves, but he's not as mindful as usual). ]

I better start complaining about how disrespectful kids are these days, too.
