001 - Arrival

[fasterthan]

[Action - 1665 Nelson - Morning] [When Wally wakes up, the world is molasses.

No... that's not right. The world is still the world, it's just he's moving through it like it's molasses.

Okay that's kind of overstating it. But still. It's obvious from the moment he wakes up and tries to look around the room that he can't move even a tenth of the speed he's used to. In fact, he falls rather spectacularly out of bed when he tries to zip around the room and ends up flailing, tripping, and landing quite gracefully (and loudly) on the floor.

He's stuck at normal speed.

How...

He's kind of freaking out. The room is weird, there are weird pictures with him in them and the clothes are all wrong... and everything he does is so slow. True, he wasn't The Flash his whole life, he was normal once, too, but just like he had to get used to suddenly having super speed, now he's suddenly without it and he has no idea what's going on. Time to start talking himself through it.]

Okay. So I have no idea where I am, my suit's nowhere to be seen, and my powers are completely gone.

[He scratches his head.]

Guess this calls for some investigating.

Crap. Never was really good at that.

[He sighs.]

Guess I should start by getting dressed. Don't want to start an investigation in my PJs.

[He'll do so and start poking around the house.]

[Phone - Later that morning] So hey, Wally West here. Sorry for interrupting your beautiful morning but I'm randomly dialing and you're the lucky winner! I seem to be new here... uh... I think I got the basics down... mind helping me out with some specifics?

Can you be more specific on the information you need?

[fasterthan]

Well everything would be nice, but apparently that's impossible?

Uh... let's just start with how long should I expect to be stuck here?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

I've been here for 10 months now. Some people have been here for years, others not so much. I can't answer that question. I do know that sometimes there is a librarian named Mr. Rose that has a pamphlet in the library about this place.

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Ummm.... what exactly do you want to know first?

[fasterthan]

Well your name would be nice. So I know who I'm talking to. Nice to meet you, by the way. Thanks for being willing to help me out.

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Oh, right! I'm Dawn, by the way.

[Guess what, there's a granny in the same bed, who is so tiny that he probably could have mistaken her for a pillow or something. Since he stumbled around and talked to himself, she was woken up - she's not that light of a sleeper, after all. .....And then Foster kind of ducked her head under the blankets while he got dressed because aaaaaaa so awkward]

[battymadam.livejournal.com]

[...but once she heard the door shut, she got dressed herself and then poked her head out of the room]

Excuse me, dear...!

[fasterthan]

[jskdflasdjfd He turns and almost trips over himself again.]

Holy crap oh my god I am so... were you in the bed that whole time?

[SHOCK AND HORROR AND OH MY GOD AWKWARD]

I am so sorry.

Phone

[bread_goes_bip]

Oh, hi Wally! What were you wondering about in particular?

[fasterthan]

Well, your name, first off, so I can know who I'm talking to. That'd be great.

And... well what's the most important thing you think I should know?

[bread_goes_bip]

Oh, right, you wouldn't remember me anyway. I'm Death. Didi, if that's easier for you.

The most important thing is... whoever's running this town has power no one should.

Phone

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Sure! Whaty'a want to know?

[fasterthan]

[Wait hang on that voice is really familiar. But he's got to be careful because... secret identity. All that.]

Well I'd like to hear more about the people that run the place, but I'd like to get your name first so we can get the introduction stuff out of the way.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

My name's Harley. Harley Quinn. I've been stuck here for over two years now.

Can't go and say I'm da lucky winner without sayin' what my prize is, chucklenuts.

[fasterthan]

Well aside from being the distinguished recipient of this phone call, you're now the proud owner of bragging rights. There you go. Don't spend it all in one place.

So what's the name of the big winner?

Action

[foalingaround.livejournal.com]

[A winged pony is chilling on the couch, looking as though she were asleep. As Wally wanders around the house, she opens one eye.]

Hey.

Didja wake up here or are ya lost?

[fasterthan]

[Well Madame Foster had mentioned a pony, but he hadn't expected to see it on the couch. Or with wings.

Or talking.]

...okay so talking pony is a new thing for me.

[Phone]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

[No.

Not Wally!]

...Wally?!

Ewwwww!

Why did you of all people have to show up?!

I mean, Max is boring, but I would totally prefer him because at least he isn't a total jerk!

[fasterthan]

[...

...

What?]

Whoa hey whoa whoa whoa hang on a second, kid. Who are you and what did I do to make you so mad at me?

[redtogold.livejournal.com]

[Oh.

Gash doesn't seem all that bothered about it, aside from the widening of his eyes and tiny yelp of surprise when he himself bumps into a wandering Wally.]

O-ou?! [Okay, so maybe his yelping was a little loud.]

[fasterthan]

[Oh hey it's a kid.

A loud kid.]

Whoa hey there dude, mind turning down the volume just a tad?

Phone

[viridian-knight.livejournal.com]

I'm very sorry to hear that, Wally. My name's Hal Jordan- what do you need to know?

THE TWO WILL REMAIN BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE OTHER'S SUPERHERO STATUS

[fasterthan]

Whatever you think is most important to know. I've heard a bunch of stuff already, but different opinions are usually pretty good to hear.
