easily i've built a time machine before i'm pretty sure i'm capable of a glorified robot backhoe
[ As soon as Jon suggested it, Cisco was already considering different designs, parts he would need, how to power it, how best to design it not to spook the animals, how to make it easily washable and durable against any kind of corrosion... ]
can i get a look at the stables first so i can decide on what kind of maneuverability we're going to need
i can try to make it operate quietly maybe that'll help or wait will that just freak them out more, like it'll sneak up on them i know literally nothing about horses except arya made me practice riding one once because she seemed to think it was an important life lesson
they exist people just don't use them to get around. we have machines for that people still ride them but it's usually for fun or sports or out in the country i guess
[ Is he even going to try to explain cars? After how badly he had messed it up with Arya, Cisco isn't sure it's really worth trying. But then- ]
💡 ‼️ omg i just had the best idea i should teach you how to ride a bike
[ He's sure that if he wished for a bike, the Clock would deliver, and if Jon is going to see Cisco embarrassing himself trying to learn all this medieval shit, he might as well try to even things out a little bit. ]
[ Or maybe a golf cart or something entirely different for all Cisco knows. It's so difficult when 'horseless carriage' could mean a lot of things. There's an easy solution to at least part of this problem, though, and Cisco sketches out very basic sketch of a bicycle in a few seconds, takes a picture and sends a tik of it to jon with the caption 'this is a bike' ]
it's something people use to get around in my world that's faster than walking and a lot cheaper than a car. or horse. or the bus. or really any other options out there. look i'll see if i can find one and then i'll show you, alright, just gimme ten minutes
