Tenth Race

[ Video ]

[ Wally appears a little sleepy, but for the most part unfazed by his second bout with unexpected unconsciousness. Well, this is just his way of dealing with it. Later he'll try to contact S.T.A.R. labs and see if they have any insight, but for now, he has much more pressing concerns on his mind. ]

So I've been thinking about these floods we've had so far, and I realized... they haven't really been all that bad. Am I missing something really horrible, or is everyone just overreacting to all of this stuff?


[ooc | P.S. I shoulda done this earlier, so I won't backdate, but Drake can have his ring back as long as he is unable to use it to hurt anybody. Robin knows what I mean. ]

It's a matter of free will.

I guess that's a pretty good reason to be upset about it. Unless you're religious, then I just don't know.

[darknessb4me]

Religious?

[Tch.]

I don't follow.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

All that whatever about destiny? To me it just sounds like you don't believe in free will.

[darknessb4me]

[Harsh laugh.]

If you believe in destiny, you aren't making your own choices and never have been.

I like the illusion of it, at least, though. I like to be able to think my own thoughts without something directing what I am.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I don't really get any of it to begin with. But yeah, I'm all for free will.

Sometimes you reach a point that everything in your life has been pulling you towards. You never saw the pattern of it before that moment, but right then - you know.

Private

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I guess so. Maybe a little.

[batmanschmatman]

Nice to see you up and about again.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I must be sleep-running or something, I don't even know what's wrong with me.

[batmanschmatman]

I think it's just a Barge thing. Don't worry about it.

You need anything?

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I may need to pay S.T.A.R. labs a visit.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Well, we're a little short on those at the moment.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I know. I mean I might need to go home, if this is anything serious. It's happened before.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

The doc said you're fine. These things just kinda happen.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

The doc doesn't know anything about speedsters. It was pretty bad before.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

How long before we know if it's really bad?

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not too long. I'm gonna go for a run and see if anything horrible happens, but it might be too soon to tell that way.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Okay. Keep me updated, or I might have to come and look for you.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Well if I'm okay, you won't be able to find me, so that should be a good hint.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Running around the Barge wondering where the hell you are isn't really the best "I'm fine" proof, Wally.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You're so methodical, you'd find me pretty fast if I passed out again.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I sure hope so.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Maybe you need caffeine or something. And I don't know. They don't seem that bad to me, either, although the one we just had was kind of embarrassing.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Nah, goes through my system too fast. Most things do, actually.

The one with, uh...

Which one was that again?

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Random secret spouting.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Oh. I might have missed that one.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I didn't say anything you didn't already know.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Well what did you say? Don't make me go hunt it down.

Private

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

That I had a crush on Arthas.

Private

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What'd he say?

Private

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Nothing. I mean, he just talked about the other parts of my posts and ignored it. I'm glad.

Private

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You're glad that he brushed you off? [ Is this a gay thing? It must be a gay thing. ]

Private

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he didn't actually reject me outright over the networks or make a fuss over it. Then I can pretend it didn't happen.

Private

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I guess there's that. I can't really picture Arthas gushing about anything.

Private

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me neither. I figure my choices were him pretty much ignoring it, or telling me not to have a crush on him. I mean, I think the latter sentiment kind of seeped into some of the things he said, but at least he didn't outright say it.

Private

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You sure you're okay with everything? I know this was sort of a big deal for you.

Private - He plans to keep following Arthas around and pretend like the flood never happened

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah.
