Who: Winn and you!
Broadcast: y!
Action: on the Tourist!
When: August 2nd

[ some of you may have noticed that winn has been uncharacteristically quiet for the past...16 days. he's not really sure how to address the elephant in the room - he knows these two weeks and change have been hard on the people he loves but for him it's like no time has passed and the dissonance is hard to bridge.

it's a good thing he has a not at all unhealthy coping mechanism set in place. ]

You know, if we're entertainment on a reality show, the least they can do is give us like a recap - you know your basic [ in a tv announcer impression ] here's what you missed on the Fleet - or - last week, on the young and the Drifting - [ he rubs the back of his head before shaking it ] Well, maybe talking about the 'least they can do' isn't such a great plan...first order of business - what'd I miss? Second order of business - if you or anyone you know has ever fallen into an unexplained sleep here or at any other kidnappy world - I'd appreciate it if you'd answer a couple questions, they're a text attachment at the bottom. Sorry if it's been done before, I'll gladly take a link to any previous research as well as fresh data. Third order of business -- hi. [ he gives the camera a little wave and a nervous chuckle ] Um. Yeah, I'm, I'm fine, I should've opened with that but if you know me the order isn't really gonna surprise you that much and if you don't you're probably really confused right now and looking for the off button - it's to your right, right on top, there you go.

That's it, I guess....good morning, Drifters - don't forget to drink your coffee! Winn out -

<br />1. <b>date and duration of sleep</b>: self explanatory.<br />2. <b>surrounding events</b>: when it happened were you or your sleeping acquaintance going about your daily lives, experimenting with anything, uncovering anything?<br />3. <b>results</b>: did waking result in new memories, loss of old ones, a change in personality or attitude, were you or your sleeping acquaintance at a different physical location (ex: new planet, back at your ship, new kidnappy world), were there any physical differences or after effects, if so how long did they last, anything you can think of that changed - put it here.<br />

[ except he's not all the way out. hank and cisco each get the following message to their personal numbers ]

I need to discuss something in person. My place? [ he can't really leave kitty yet ]

if you aren't going to have a doctor check you out you are 100% a hypocrite

[winn]

I've had doctor check ups throughout.

[robitussin]

dammit why do you have to be so responsible

anyways

1. date and duration of sleep: like a month ago maybe, it was around a week long
2. surrounding events: nothing out of the ordinary honestly, i just went to sleep one night and didn't wake up for a week
3. results: new memories, a few physical changes

[winn]

because I know it annoys you.

what kind of physical changes? are the memories from home?

[robitussin]

annoying me is the sole reason for your responsibility?? that's kind of flattering

not from home, from the last place i was stuck in. a few scars

[winn]

well that and I have a very wise and loving girlfriend.

scars? see this is you needed to get checked out.

[robitussin]

so you're just pretending to be the responsible one here. i have discovered your secret

yeah i did it's fine

[winn]

did you, or did I just throw you off your scent.

if you wanna talk, I have a feeling I'll be staying pretty put for a while.

[robitussin]

nah pretty sure i'm right

it's a long story and honestly if i say it out loud you'll probably think i'm crazy

[winn]

once upon a time people were pretty sure the earth was flat.

you remember who you're talking to, right?

[robitussin]

the difference is they were stupid and i'm not

i had to try to fight off a group of weird evil twin versions of my friends who were trying to kidnap someone stuck in a snowglobe

top that

[winn]

actually surprised it doesn't happen here every day. well, more the evil twin thing, less the snowglobe, but still.

I got alien stories that aren't from a kidnappy alternate dimension tho so I'm pretty sure that at least matches it. you fight?

[robitussin]

tell me the alien stories i'll swap you

also no i don't fight but when someone is trying to kidnap your friend stuck in a snowglobe you don't have much of a choice. also i had a taser

[winn]

they're in-person kinda stories.

good policy, and good you were packing.

[robitussin]

you want me to come or are you busy with the multitude of people you freaked out with your unexpected nap

i mean they were all superhuman so it didn't really do much but i got to feel cool for about 30 seconds and that's good enough for me

[winn]

I can probably squeeze you in in between tearful reunions.

[ it sounds like he's kidding but it's semi serious. ]

hey 30 seconds is plenty to be proud of. is sparky too on the nose for a code name?

[robitussin]

how kind. be there at some point i guess

also i already have a code name you're too late

[winn]

I'll be here for the foreseeable future.

what! travesty. so what is it?

[robitussin]

[while she heads towards a shuttle--]

did you think opal was my real name? who names their kid opal

[winn]

m u l t i v e r s e. there are some weird names around here.

so what is it?

[robitussin]

still weird

danger is my name if you must know

[winn]

yes, much better.

[robitussin]

yes clearly

jk it's natalie

[winn]

that's a pretty name. way better than winslow.

[robitussin]

thanks, i picked it out myself

also i'm almost there
