	You've reached: CISSSSCOOOOOOO RAMOOOOOOON*. I'm off doing something more interesting than answering the phone, so you know what to do after the beep!
ｖｏｉｃｅ － ｔｅｘｔ － ｖｉｄｅｏ － ａｃｔｉｏｎ

[ *Said in an echoing voice not matching the rest of the message, much like an announcer in a stadium.
In fact it's an audio clip of Barry Allen's voice that Cisco has pieced into the rest of his outgoing message. ]

AUDIO. during his porting out. | 1/4

[ before barry begins to leave his voicemail, there's a pause as he processes cisco's greeting on his phone. (can cisco create his own greeting for barry? is technology here that smart? let him take it personally on purpose just for laughs.) ]

... You're doing something more interesting than going and seeing a movie that doesn't exist on our planet? Dude! Come on!

Call me back.

[ later in the morning, when barry calls again, there's a pause before his voice echoes, much like an announcer in a stadium: ] Cisssscooooooooo Ramooooooooon.

Can we make that your voicemail message? That way I won't feel personally victimised.

[ he'll send him a few sound bites of cisco and vibe as well as future mr jennifer lawrence. ]

[ it's early afternoon when he calls again. ]

I dropped by your place. Where are you? Let me know where you're working, I'll come by with pizza. They've got really cool toppings today!

AUDIO. | /5, god i cannot count.

[ in the evening, he leaves a more clipped voicemail. ]

— Muh muh muh muh.

This is our Bat Signal. I'll keep singing it until you find me. Or call me back! Whichever comes first, chicken or egg.

[ an hour later, his message sounds less like the carefree barry and more like the one who doesn't take it lightly when his friends go missing. he can easily recall when snart had kidnapped cisco, and it doesn't sit lightly with him his friend, who's usually someone who doesn't evade his phone calls, isn't picking up. ]

[ maybe he's busy. but there's no way in hell cisco's the type to give him the cold shoulder because he's busy. ]

I've been singing this song for an hour. I'm starting to hate "Poker Face" and I'm starting to wonder if this city's not all it's cracked up to be if I can't find you. If you're in trouble, Cisco, I'm going to find you.

THE NEXT DAY (AUDIO)

[picksthenames]

[ At first, Cisco didn't even realize any time had passed. He'd used the Porter to head up to Maurtia Falls in search of this café he'd heard about, then Ported back to Heropa. It's not until he checks his voicemail and sees five messages from Barry that he realizes he wasn't gone for an hour or two, he'd been gone for a whole day.

When he calls Barry back, his tail's between his legs. ]

Barry, it's Cisco-- Dude, I am so sorry. I am never using that Porter again, I swear. Just going to breach everywhere I need to go from now on. Anyway, I got lost in transit for a day apparently but I'm back now so call me?

And yes, I'm definitely making your announcer voice my outgoing voicemail message. In fact, I'm saving the audio file and doing it now.

[ is cisco even surprised within seconds of getting his voicemail (sometimes barry can't multitask, like eating a donut while trying to play some version of snake on his phone one-handed) barry calls? he doesn't even finish that donut.

forgetting he's even stuffed something in his mouth, his voice, forceful and worried, is muffled by donut: ] Are you okay?

[picksthenames]

Dude, I'm fine! [ Surprisingly so. He'd think going missing for a day would have more of an impact but he feels like nothing happened at all. ] Where are you, I'll come to you?
