[Jesusfuck this guy is maddening already. And why can't Cisco FIND anything? UGH. What an annoying mess this has become.]

You make it sound like a game.
It's not very fun.
And also I don't know the rules.
Which means you're cheating.

Nah, I don't want anything.

[trickedya]

It's not a game, it's a test.
I'm curious.
you're failing hard.

Are you alone right now? Honest answers, I'm sure I can find out if you're lying.

[thisismadfreaky]

Kinda hard to pass a test you aren't aware you're taking.

[He almost lies and says he is, but... this person has proven themselves not easy to trace and great at getting information.

SO.]

Not entirely.
I'm alone in my immediate vicinity, other people are in the building though.

[Cisco, why are you like this? You know this is a terrible plan and look at you. Your life, your choices, etc...]

[trickedya]

Don't call anyone over, it's just you and me. Our little personal alone time.

So.

Tell me.

Do you have a boyfriend, Mr Ramon?

[thisismadfreaky]

Fine.

[He's not sure he likes this, but... he'll deal.

That last text kind of puts him on edge though.]

...yes. Although I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

[trickedya]

BZZZZZZZZZT

Wrong

Try again. Do you have a boyfriend?

[thisismadfreaky]

HOW is a yes or no question wrong?!

[trickedya]

When you say the wrong one. DUH.

I'm afraid the answer is no. Does Cisco Ramon have a boyfriend? Nope. No. He does not.

But nice try, you don't win the super mega bonus prize of this round but you can still pull it together.

Ready for the next?

[thisismadfreaky]

I'm not answering wrong.

I think I'd be MOST aware of my own dating status, thanks.

Yeah, I guess. What's next?

[trickedya]

You know, if you start entering negative points in this quiz, you'll end up in a punishment round and no one wants to end up in those.

OUR NEXT QUESTION IS !!!

Cisco Ramon, for five hundred points, who is gonna die alone without a boyfriend?

[thisismadfreaky]

[Cisco's actually pretty sure that part isn't a lie-- he really doesn't want to know what a punishment round of anything would be like with this person.]

....

I'm guessing your answer to this would be me.
I'm gonna have to say that I disagree.
[Ha. LIE.
SUCH a lie.
God, he really hates this game already.]

[trickedya]

DING DING DING!!!

Correct

The answer is Cisco Ramon. Cisco Ramon is going to die alone without a boyfriend.

Chin up, champ. You can always score a girl. Or, I don't know, get a load of cats.

One final question. You ready? This one is more of a bonus question.

[thisismadfreaky]

[Fuck you, Mystery Person.

Fuck.

You.]

Yeah, sure.

[trickedya]

You seem grumpy? Where's the fire from before? Did I hit a nerve? Oooh, Cisco, Cisco, Cisco.

Now. Ready for it?

A HUSH FALLS OVER THE CROWD AS THE FINAL QUESTION IS UNVEILED.

Cisco Ramon, for a happy, bonus surprise, who is the formally mistitled 'boyfriend' you will no longer have? I'm looking for a name here.

[thisismadfreaky]

[NO. SHUT UP. UGH! HE HATES YOU.]

I don't know who you are. OR what game you're playing. But you're damn sure leaving my boyfriend out of it.
It's not your fucking business who he is.

[YUP. THAT SURE IS A NERVE.]

[trickedya]

[It's too easy to give the obvious answer and it's way more fun to keep it vague. Unsettling. To give Cisco that lack of security and that feeling of dread. He seemed protective of his boyfriend, Axel liked that. If only he hadn't picked the wrong one to like.]

“Please your honors," said he, “I’m able,
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun,
That creep or swim or fly or run,
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm,
The mole and toad and newt and viper;
And people call me the Pied Piper.”

[thisismadfreaky]

[Well, if he wanted Cisco unsettled, he damn sure got it. It's too targeted to be random. He doesn't say anything else, though. Impulses be damned, he's done this time. He needs to talk to Hartley.]
