Who: Barry Allen + YOU
Broadcast: Video
Action: First Breath + Visitors
When: December 1st

[action ~ first breath]

[Somewhere, many many Earths away, Barry Allen says goodbye to his family and the woman he loves and steps through into the speed force. All that really exists in the speed force is running, so that's what he does - he runs, as fast as he can and as far as he can, until he doesn't have to run anymore.

And on December 1st, in his room on the First Breath, Barry opens his eyes for the first time in thirty days. It's disorienting at first, not knowing immediately where he is or that he's not in the speed force anymore, so he instinctively does the first thing he can think of - he runs. He blazes through the halls of the ship in an endless look, a burst of red and god lightning that can't be caught and disrupts everything around him.

Pro: He is not running fast enough to accidentally phase himself through the hull of the ship and out to die in the vacuum of space, nor is he phasing through doors into private areas he shouldn't be in.

Con: Pretty much everything is getting blown everywhere, because running at superspeed is not subtle or unnoticeable.

Eventually he'll skid to a stop or someone will stop him but apologies to the other members of the crew - you're all getting quite the wake up call this morning.]

[video ~ fleetwide]

[And after he is caught, calmed down, and realizes where he is, he'll eventually make his way back to his bunk to try and reorient himself in general. Which is when an awkward looking Barry will appear over a network because he has a very important question to ask that probably shouldn't wait.]

So, hey guys. Sorry about being radio silent but I was ... out for a while. A really long while.

[That's mostly an apology to Kara and Mon-El - he doesn't really think anyone else beyond his crew was looking for him. He needs to be better at making friends.]

Anyway - has anyone else had one of those weird coma dreams where they go home and actually live some of their life and come back again? And if so, am I the only one who finds that super weird and disorienting, or can we all agree that that pretty much sucks?

[Please feel free to register your vote with the speedster present at your convenience.]

Comments

[supertardiness]

Absolutely.

[And he will zip around so that everything is put back in it's proper place, and resume looking very apologetic.]

Sorry about that.

[tallasaking]

[...now that is truly a useful gift.]

Your apology is accepted - and aren't you glad you woke up in a better sort of place? You could have run right into killer aliens."

[supertardiness]

Done that before. Would really rather not do it again.

[Killer aliens are no fun.]

Anything else change while I was out?

[tallasaking]

None of us would, I would say.

[He would agree absolutely ... before he paused. A sigh.]

Furiosa has ... disappeared again, and I - am standing Captain. Kaidan is First Mate now.

[supertardiness]

[And there's a bit of disappointment there, because he liked Furiosa, but it's good to see that there were people ready to step up.]

If she's disappeared before does that mean she'll be back?

[tallasaking]

[At this, Tyrion perks slightly.]

Yes ... yes she could. Although, she may not remember us. Or she might be ... different in other ways.

[supertardiness]

[His brow furrows for a moment.]

Do people lose their memories of being here? Or is it more of an alternate universe thing?

[tallasaking]

I believe some do, and some people do not. It just depends.

[supertardiness]

[He nods, but it would be really interesting to find out what that depends on exactly.]

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[tallasaking]

I suppose we will...

[He leaned back, sighing softly.] So here we go?

[supertardiness]

[He gives a small shrug and smirks.]

It's how all the best stuff usually starts.

[tallasaking]

.... well when you are right, you are right.

[supertardiness]

[He grins a bit at that, before glancing around.]

So anything else you need me to take care of? While I'm up and running around?

[tallasaking]

...well I wouldn't mind an update on what's going on in the cockpit?

[He's sort of joking.]

[supertardiness]

[He watches him for a moment, because he isn't quite sure.]

I mean ... I can go, if you want?

[tallasaking]

[He chuckles softly, his mis-matched gaze flickering amusement.]

You are fine.

[supertardiness]

Oh. Good.

[He nods, before pointing back to his lab.]

I should get back to work.

[tallasaking]

Yes you should. Feel free to come back if you need anything.

[supertardiness]

Will do.

[And off he goes, to get back to science. /scene]
