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 ]

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

no subject
Any conclusions?
no subject
Not yet. [dryly] Just that we'd go through a lot of things in a matter of days. There was rarely any real downtime.
no subject
[ it's all connected, he's getting more and more certain of it with every passing minute. ]
no subject

no subject
At least it wasn't bad all the time?

no subject
[ he refills both their glasses. he knows this move, it's a classic winn-drives-kitty-up-the-wall move. my pain wasn't as bad as other people's pain so I don't get to talk move. he sympathizes, and it also makes him feel guilty. the show never feels all too great on the other foot. ]
no subject
[the worst part is - Hank is definitely guilty of that, and he'd say that regardless of if it was the truth or not. But then again, he prioritizes everyone else over himself no matter what]
Though - refresh my memory, what have I told you so far? Just the general stuff, right?
no subject
Yeah, you've been pretty consistently vague.
[ not a reproach, just a recap. ]
no subject
He takes a long drink, then huffs a little]
As long as I've been consistent.
no subject
No one can blame you for lack of consistency.
[ he nods, taking another gulp of his own drink. ]
no subject
Exactly. [he takes another drink]
At least, Charles and Erik were there before me, so when I showed up it was a little easier.
no subject
[ the one thing that kept him relatively calm through adjusting to this place is knowing that kara's here with him. ]
And this place didn't even used to be dangerous. [ ok it always was but you know what he means - nothing happened. ]
no subject
[and time hadn't passed at all back home. He'd seen Erik that morning]
Or it just wants you to think that. [he shrugs a shoulder, quirking a wry smile] Kyriakos was like that sometimes. It still wasn't downtime, but it was . . . calmer.
no subject
[ he nods, of that - he has no doubt. ]
Including the order and intervals they bring us in - gotta be.
no subject
[he remembers Raven's arrival, and just how much drama that must have generated. And everything that had come of that, after.
He makes a face and finishes off his drink]
no subject
his dad. he's here because of his dad, isn't he. he angrily downs the rest of his drink and refills. this is a terrible idea, they're not even eating anything, but he doesn't care about good or bad ideas anymore. ]
no subject
It's frustrating, isn't it.
[he doesn't like thinking about all of this too deeply anymore]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[ he can't avoid it, because he can't stop working on the most frustrating things. ]
no subject
no subject
[ he swirls the bit of liquid that remains in his glass around, staring at it. ]
I can't let it go.
[ not for a second, not when kitty's life hangs in the balance. ]
