Action: First Breath for post-video things or Planetside, take your pick!
When: August 2nd-ish.

[And here is Barry! Looking less worrisome than when the fleet first met him, but still trying to figure out his way around this place.]

Hi, guys. It's Barry. I was wondering if there were any food specialists, or scientists, or food scientists around who might be able to do me a favor.

For those who don't know, I have a super high metabolism which results in me needing to eat like, ten thousand calories a day, which is really bad in enclosed areas like the ships where there are limited supplies and multiple people that need to share them. But, my buddy Cisco, who some of you may remember from when he was here, built me these high calorie protein bars so I can eat like a normal human and still get all the calories I need.

Cisco's not here now, but in those baskets that we got from Atroma, I got a few of those bars as a gift, and I was wondering if anyone here might be able to reverse engineer them somehow? If you could I would be incredibly grateful. I can even pay you for them, and they might be helpful for the fleet as a whole, since I know I'm not the only one here with ... metabolism issues.

[He's not going to out them publically, but the Kara (and possibly Mon-El?) know who they are.]

So hit me back if you're interested. Thanks.

[and with that, it's bye bye Barry.]


[action ~ planetside]
[The second Barry sets foot on the ground again, he takes off in a flash of red and gold lightning. After months of being confined on the ship, with limited space and nowhere to go even if he did want to run, the idea of being on a planet with plenty of space for him to let loose is a blessing, really, and he intends to run as far and as fast as he can, getting as much of this antsy energy out before he has to board the ship again and go back to a confined life.

Obstacles have never really been an issue for him, running up the sides of buildings and jumping over cars in order to get out of their way. Occasionally he will stop to devour some food, because surprise, surprise, running makes him hungry, but after that he's off again. He might also even get a job making deliveries for one of the local conglomerates because why not? At least with Barry on the case, they know they'll never have to pay someone for not delivering on time.

Eventually he will start trying to poke around a bit more, but for right now, he's simply glad that he finally has some freedom to move.]

[ at some point in his running, he'll notice he has a tail. A flying tail, who will wave if/when he looks up at her. She's perfectly happy to just fly next to him, sometimes taking alternate routes around obstacles but honestly just enjoying the freedom as well ]

[ omg YES food!!!! she picks up what he's putting down and lands near the entrance to the restaurant ]

Not bad there, Usain.

We'll have to inquire.

It's been months! I mean, not that potatoes and mushrooms are bad, per se, but just all the time... I really need a good hamburger.

A decent mass gainer should give you between 1500-2000 calories per serving, not including if you were to use whole milk, add things like nuts, fruits or vegetables, or force down two scoops. Liquid probably will make it easier to down, too.

I've seen some that boasted up to 3000 calories a serving, but can't verify. Not exactly looking to put on mass, myself. Figure if they've got space travel you might be able to find some kind of easier to swallow mass gainer?

Well, then be more specific! Because technically, it's as highly caloric as you'd need with the addition of protein (typically, say 25+ grams per serving). Arguably that fits the description and could be adapted to bar recipes.

Use something like dates to keep the ingredients sticking together in bar form, easy-peasy.

You figure it out as you go along.

Don't know. Haven't been here long enough, but with similar foods found around, shouldn't be too hard to find. Based on what you've told me so far, might not be the most ideal but it's probably the closest to what you can get without actually messing around in a lab.

I imagine you can buy as much as you want so long as you've got the cash for it.

I might be able to magically duplicate some for you? It's not a perfect solution, of course, but it should work until you get something more permanent.

[ It's been difficult for both of them, she thinks - they both came here and had Cisco and then lost him before they could even get close to knowing one another with him around, and that makes it a strange and novel situation. There's an adjustment period, and Hermione is doing her best to make the best of it, starting from being as helpful as possible.

She thinks Cisco would've liked her and Barry becoming friends. He always did speak highly of him. ]


Of course, it's not a problem.

[ But this - this is a topic she can talk about for a long time. ]

Yes! I'm a witch, actually.
brainiest: (that's the one)

[personal profile] brainiest 2017-08-05 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I was born with it, but I didn't know until I turned eleven.

[ And since it's a video - she can draw her wand and cast a quick Lumos. ]

I use my magic to make potions for the most part.

He told me some things, but I think he wanted to keep the details to himself? Just in case you did show up.

[ And... Here he is. ]
