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

Date: 2011-10-15 04:31 am (UTC)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.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-15 04:44 am (UTC)A loud kid.]
Whoa hey there dude, mind turning down the volume just a tad?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-15 05:02 am (UTC)Nu? [Oh. Volume. He snaps his mouth shut, only to open it a moment later. His voice is distinctly softer, however.] Sorry. You're new, isn't that so?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-15 05:11 am (UTC)Yup, looks like it. Name's Wally West. What's yours?

Date: 2011-10-15 05:20 am (UTC)[A beat. A moment of thought.] Do you know anything about this place yet?

no subject
Date: 2011-10-20 08:41 pm (UTC)[He doesn't like the situation either. It's something hard to swallow, that's for sure.]
no subject
Date: 2011-10-20 09:18 pm (UTC)He nods, though.]
It can be done, though.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-22 09:37 pm (UTC)No matter what, people should be safe.
