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 ]

No, it was at the last place. I don't know if you could say I had a choice. I mean, I could have refused, but if I had- if any of us had- Sparrow would have stayed dead. So... That's not really a choice, is it?

no, no it isn't. I'm sorry you had to do that, but I'm glad there was something you could do.

[ but it's interesting, that she glitched in the same way twice in supposedly different dimensions. it supports his theory that they're not all that separate at all. ]

It sucked then, but it didn't last too long. It lasted way longer this time, but it worked out better. I didn't even meet too many people like that here to ruin my reputation with. And when I woke up with the new memories, I got a cute girlfriend along with them, so it worked out.

cute girlfriends make everything better.

She does. She's really sweet, has a lot of spirit, and is amazingly funny. Also, she's in this post of yours, so I'm waiting for her to notice this and get all mad about it.

she is?

[ looking through his respondents. it's not the pink pony, is it? it's definitely not his girlfriend - and it's definitely not his best friend. which leaves...aw, he's so happy for his banter buddy. ]

I need to hear this story.

It's kind of long. And involves a teammate who thought concussions were a good way of dispensing romantic advice. And at least six people meddling. So, really long.

so switch to audio/video is what you're saying

Some of the context is bad enough that it's probably a story best for in person. But it might be funnier if you ask her.

yeah, I don't think it's the kind of funny that'd be funny to me.

That's fair. If you still want a story, I'm going over to the Iskaulit anyway.

that's really tempting but I have a feeling I'm not going anywhere without supervision today. rain check? or, if you feel like dropping by the tourist...

I don't mind, but why do you need supervision?

I'm surrounded by very wonderful loving people I gave a bad scare to.

[ aka his girlfriend is worried about him and he's not gonna make it worse by taking off before he's 100% back to normal. since his body is feeling pretty weak, he also tends to agree that he shouldn't be on the shuttle alone just yet, but that wouldn't have stopped him as much as the whole not making his girlfriend worry more than she has to thing. ]

I'm pretty sure I count as adult supervision, but maybe not in this case. If you're stuck over there, then, do you want me to bring drinks?

there's gotta be some reason why saying no is rude, right? so that'd be great :) thanks

[ he shouldn't. he really shouldn't. but boy does he want to. and hey he's being good with staying at home and everything! ]

If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty rude myself, so you don't have to worry about that. I'll be over there soon, then. Where should I meet you? I don't think I've been to the Tourist before.

I'll come pick you up at the shuttle bay

All right, I'll be there soon.

[True to her word, it doesn't take long- Through the magic of inventory space, she already has drinks on her she hasn't opened yet.

Of course, this means she looks totally empty-handed when she shows up, but that's kind of normal for her.]

Hey.

[ true to his word, he's there waiting for her - looking a little tired, but otherwise alright. ]

Hi -- it's - nice to finally meet you in person. [ he offers her a smile and a little wave ] how was the ride? [ he still hates the shuttles with a fiery passion. ]

Because it's funny. (=ↀωↀ=)✧

funny or embarrassing

don't say both there is no both

Both.

[SCREAMS INTERNALLY and doesn't answer. why did she honestly expect anything different than that response.]
