	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. ]

VOICEMAIL.

[ it takes raven a little while before she sums up the courage to battle her pride and reach out to that cisco ramon magnus had been speaking about. ]

Wow, that's your outgoing message? [ raven, focus. her tone changes from judgy to conversational, with a slight edge of frustration — at herself, although her ears are ringing a little after that ... ] You don't know me, and I don't really know you, but someone told me you may be able to help me out. I'm Raven. Call me back; I have a feeling you'd find helping a girl with bionic physiology how to swim a hell of a lot more interesting.

[ what she doesn't mention: she's got a neat little handicap. mentioning that wouldn't make things interesting, would it? ]

[ Cisco admits that it's not the most professional-sounding voicemail message, but with Barry gone he's not about to get rid of the only clip of his best friend's voice that he has left. So the message stays.

Anyway, he's intrigued by the voicemail, so he calls Raven back immediately. ]

Hey, Raven. It's Cisco. You said something about bionic physiology and swimming?

[specialise]

Hey.

[ a shade of familiarity can be found in her tone. where another may be caught off-guard, raven isn't. she knows she made that phone call, and she won't admit she's been wondering whether or not this cisco ramon is too busy off doing "interesting things" to call her back. ]

[ seems like she had nothing to worry about. ]

Thanks for calling me back. [ that's what they say in the movies when the main character misses a call from some secondary character. she feels that applies here, given home never had the need for phones. ] I wanted to learn how to swim with my bionic power. Someone persistently mentioned you could help me. [ persistently, emphasised in good humour. ] Are you some bionic physiology swimming coach?

[picksthenames]

Uhhh. No, not quite. More like an engineering genius-slash-superhero tech guy. But tell me more about this bionic physiology. Sounds interesting.

[ He has no idea why he was recommended for this particular job, but he's going to try his damnedest to help. ]
