001 - Arrival

[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?

Phone

Can you be more specific on the information you need?

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

[identity profile] wonribbons.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, right! I'm Dawn, by the way.

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.

[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]

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

Excuse me, dear...!

I have not found one yet but, I haven't gotten access to a boson drive either. I'm Ruri. Hoshino Ruri.

But I have a detailed map including where it loops and I have yet to find an exit.

Its a form of warp drive where I come from, I don't have any faster than light travel to test the barriers.

Oh, that's ok. I hid under the blankets so I didn't see a thing! But I guess you're pretty lost, huh?

Think of it as a very tiny globe. Imagine you could move at a supersonic speed and wanted to get to California by crossing the Atlantic. Now, just shorten the distance traveled to a scale of a couple of miles.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-10-14 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I've been testing the barrier for about 6 months now with no real breaks in it found.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-10-14 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes it is. But its better than doing nothing.

I'm not sure I'm helping, but I'm at least trying to keep busy.
