[ ok...ok. not from national city. that means not the crazy banshee, right? there may be hope for him yet!
but then who the hell is this and why is she..... he got an evil twin didn't he. goddammit. he always knew this would happen - he told himself if anyone is ever mad at him for something he doesn't understand, his first suspicion should be evil twin.
but then, banshee ex is a pretty compelling theory too. ]
This is going to sound like a total crappy right-outta-the-playbook excuse but I swear it's not - you know, we're in an inter dimensional space reality show, crazy kinda gets re-defined, right? But -- I'm sorry I'm really sure you're looking for someone else who just looks like me, I know, I know what it sounds like but face-twins and alternate universe versions of people are totally a thing here, I swear!
[ since this is amazing but ok se'll take some pity over him and laugh a bit as she'll stand, all awkwardly and without grace. like a mermaid out of the water, really. ]
You know, they say a bro will always recognize a bro but apparently when a bro becomes a sis, that does not hold.
[ ... ]
it's me, Winn. come on. you know who I am, do the bro thing, reach out - MENTALLY.
[ by amazing do you mean cruel and unusual? because in that case - yes, you're absolutely right.
for a moment he just stands there, staring, not sure if this is some joke by a really crazy banshee ex? or, something? he's not sure what.
but then she says 'nerdbro' and there's only one person he's ever met who says that, let alone calls him that, and all that tension is released in an incredulous laugh. ]
Cisco? What the hell did you do to yourself? [ maybe he should be reconsidering working with you! don't mind your nerdbro poking at your arm, he's just trying to make sure you're real solid human and not a cruel holographic prank. is this because of how he reacted to the brokeback mountain reference? because he's flattered man, but so very taken - bad timing. ]
Is this for real? How'd this happen? [ he's heard about a lot of crazy things happening in these sort of places - but this is a definite first.
So if it ever happens to me it'll be full Thumbelina - [ wait, no, he doesn't want to think about turning into a girl physically he's already acting too much like one for comfort! ] - strike that, rewind, delorian at 88, we do not give these people ideas -
[ leaning in to look closer at his face. it's eerie. ]
[ he would totally do the exact same thing -- but even so (and very possibly because of it) that gets a faint blush and a step back.
this is so...confusing. ]
Thanks? [ why is them talking about being hot women a perfectly normal topic of conversation. what is their friendship. ] It would be pretty hot if Kitty's open to it - [ wait what is he saying, what happened to we do not speak of it he really doesn't need this happening to him and he'd be way too freaked to think about getting freaky if it actually happened and this is not something you tell other people ever - shaking his head, fully embarrassed now. ok yeah they are both getting a mad rating boost aren't they.
clearing his throat, he tries to regain control of the situation. ]
I'm not -- really sure what kinda tests would even apply here but - I mean. Uh. Is it. A...total transformation? [ you know, because this conversation isn't awkward enough, he needs to be asking about your nether region. ] Do you think they like -- implanted your mind in a new body somehow, or just -- changed your body? Maybe Hank could run some sorta DNA analysis?
[ he pats his shoulder, and pulls him in for a quick, friendly, hands strictly in safe places!!!! hug ]
On me.
[ he has to admit, as cruel as his intro was he can't really fault cisco for it. he's handling a hell of a lot better than he would. he's handling it a lot better than winn's handling just considering this happening. ]
Normally, this is where I'd do the whole buddy-pep-talk about you being awesome and ladies would totally go for that but we'll have to do it when I'm not a girl.
[ he laughs, trying to focus on the conversation and not his crippling fear of flying the goddamn shuttles - he managed to stay relatively cool about it in front of cisco right now, this is not really the time he wants to be showing off how uncool he really is.

Ugh, it doesn't feel the same, I just know I look adorable instead of what I'm going for.

Ladies first.
