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 -
[ 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 ]

he grabs the notebook and pats hank's arm reassuringly. ]
Very appealing personality trait, gotta tell you. Ladies love that. [ he opens the notebook, and starts leafing through it. ]
Did you find anything on the tree? Any breakthrough?
no subject
. . . maybe. We'll see]
And here I've been told otherwise. [the notes contain as much history of the planet as he's been able to gather, some details on the telepathy/empathy effect (with additional notes added after speaking to Charles about it), and - yep, information on the tree]
Actually - [and out of his pocket comes a book, which he holds out next. It's . . .
A pun book] I went there with Raven and got this.
no subject
Too many jokes - too little time - literally at system overload over here.
[ but his eyes are soft, it's good that he has something to remind him of his almost sister. he pulls out his phone from his pocket (it's never leaving his pocket again unless it's going in his own hand) ]
I got this - check it - [ he wants to look over all that research and discuss things with hank, but that can wait a moment. he hasn't really gotten to show off his prize before he went night night. he opens up the photo gallery, and starts scrolling through them. some pictures are of tech, some are of progress of costumes, some are of people in costume from comicon, winn included, some are just of national city or stuff kara sent him, and a lot - are of kara. kara alone, kara with winn, kara with alex, kara with james, kara with with winn and james... ]
That's Alex - that's James - that's nothing you didn't see that - [ quickly scrolling past an embarrassing drunken selfie ]
no subject
[but he sounds fond, because it is Viva's book, and he may have used a few of them once or twice after he got home. It's like he grew a sense of humor or something.
Hank leans in to see the pictures though, and finds himself smiling. It seems like he isn't the only one to get something incredibly important from the tree, and he's glad that Winn did make the trip out there - probably with Kitty or Kara, knowing him.
But of course, most importantly, he . . . has to tease about drunk selfies]
Oh no, I definitely saw it.
no subject
actually, he went with sascha. what a twist! ]
You're imagining things. [ he presses a hand to hank's forehead ] Yeah, you're feeling kinda hot, definitely hallucinating.
no subject
He maturely rolls his eyes and is very tempted to try and stand up straight out of Winn's reach but he's pretty sure he isn't that tall] I can't get sick, but nice try.
no subject
[ he's not sure whether to be more suspicious or more envious, so he balances both emotions in about equal amounts for now ]
no subject
no subject
Scoring super healing is pretty lucky, I vote both.
no subject
no subject
[ he nods. ]
How fast is it?
no subject
For small stuff, it's pretty quick. Bruises and cuts, along those lines. The more serious the injury, though, the longer it takes.
I can take a lot of damage, though.
[like getting thrown though a car and being fine, normal stuff]
no subject
[ he hates that hank knows that for a fact. stop hurting his friends, multiverse! ]
no subject
[if only the multiverse would listen, then no one would ever have to worry]
no subject
Wait, physically? Cuz in that case your super healing needs a tune up -
[ dammit multiverse, wait til your father gets home! ]
no subject
No, no, I mean - it's just like anyone else getting an injury, I'm not immune to pain. Getting thrown through something still hurts a hell of a lot, it just . . . heals quicker. Like - hitting fast forward on the devices, like if you're watching a movie - that's what it's called, right?
no subject
Yeah - yeah that's what it's called.
[ nodding, relieved. ]
Right so - no proving it for you, it's settled.
no subject
[because that's how it works right, no Hank it isn't]
no subject
[ yeah he's gonna stay more worried about you getting hurt, thanks. ]
no subject
[but other people, Winn!!]
no subject
[ but YOU, hank! ]
no subject
[but OTHER PEOPLE]
no subject
[ but YOU! ]
no subject
[no!!!]
no subject
[ you really want to pick a fight with him, hank? he'll just run off to the first candy offering white van that comes his way for comfort. ]
