Action Around Town

[Wally actually... doesn't look all that bad in the tux and cape. Unfortunately his red hair completely ruins the effect, but he's giving it his best shot anyway.

Stalking you, that is. If he had his super speed he could maybe do this effectively but whatever.]

[And guess which poor, unsuspecting boy is walking around?

...That's right, this one.]

[fasterthan]

[I'm going to go ahead and assume they've met in person at least once otherwise Wally would have no idea who this kid is.

BUT HE DOES. IT'S BART.

IT'S THE BOSS.

Stalk stalk stalk oh shit his just tripped over a tree root crap]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

[Woops yes let's assume that is a thing that happened.

...WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?!

And he turns around and sees it.]

...Wally? What are you wearing?!

[fasterthan]

[Wally raises a hand in a wave from his faceplant and sits up.]

Hey Boss! You know, I have no clue why I'm wearing this, I just woke up, crawled out of my grave and suddenly I'm shambling around in the throes of undeath. Pretty crazy, huh?

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

Uh...yeah...craaaazy.

[Just. Staring at you, Wally...]

[fasterthan]

[JUST TAKE IT IN STRIDE, BARTY-BOY, WALLY SURE IS]

I don't really get it either, actually, but I'm kind of stuck in shamble and stalk mode. Dunno why.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

...Am I having a dream?

I mean, I've been sucked into video games, made smaller than an atom, and all kinds of other weird stuff before, but nothing that weird has happened here...yet.

[fasterthan]

[Wally scratches his head.]

Pretty sure you're not having a dream. I mean, it's possible, I got stuck in a dream once, but the whole dream sharing thing is kind of more weird.

Seriously though, all I know is that I was waking up and crawling out of a grave wearing this, and now I feel compelled to go stalk people. So... congratulations on being the lucky... uh... stalkee.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

...You're stalking me?

[He ponders this for a second.]

I don't think I've ever been stalked before. Unless you count Inertia.

...I guess you could count Inertia.

[fasterthan]

I have no idea who Inertia is but I'm stalking you now! [He is really oddly cheerful about this whole thing.]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

[This whole thing is odd.]

I guess that might be kind of cool. I can go up to people all "hey guys, Bart here, this is my sidekick. He's stalking me."

...That didn't come out as cool as I thought it would.

[fasterthan]

[He thinks about this.]

Yeah that actually sounds pretty weird.

[Wally you are being weird, did you ever think about that? Nope.]

So anyway, sorry if it creeps you out I guess.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

I understand.

So uh...let's go, I guess.

[And he starts walking...]

[fasterthan]

[And Wally gets up and shambles on after him, arms out and everything.]

...yeah actually this is really weird.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

It's like having a really creepy dog that isn't even a dog and wears a cape but it's not like, a Superman cape, it's like a cape from one of those lame old movies and--

...Yeah, I got nothing.

[fasterthan]

I can't even stop. No, seriously, like, I can't put my arms down and walk normally or anything.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

Let me try something...

[He walks over and tugs on Wally's arms. To try and pull them down.]

[fasterthan]

[They go down easily enough, but as soon as Bart lets go they'll just come right back up again.

WEIRD.]

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

...I don't think I ever want to be undead.

[fasterthan]

I still don't want to be undead.

Come to think of it I don't feel particularly undead, except for strange impulse to shuffle around with my arms up and follow people around. And the cheesy outfit.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

You don't feel like you're rotting?

[fasterthan]

Nope. Do I smell? Man, I hope I don't smell.

[alienfromkansas.livejournal.com]

...Wally?

[EXCUSE HIM FOR A MOMENT. He.

He totally saw his grave he totally thought he was-

-wait what is he doing]

A-are you alright?

[fasterthan]

[Wally shrugs, still in full-on shamble mode.]

Well I'd say I was fine except I seem to be shambling.

[alienfromkansas.livejournal.com]

I thought you were dea-

wait what's... with the clothes...?

[fasterthan]

[He grins, kind of sheepishly.]

I think I am dead, actually. Braaaaaaaaaaaaains.

Actually no I don't hunger for brains. Although that would be something.

[igotthisdown.livejournal.com]

[Gets the feeling he is being followed... Looks around to see who it is.]

[fasterthan]

[He definitely doesn't know Tim all that well but he knows who he is. That's enough to get him stalked. For whatever reason.

Shuffleshuffleshuffle

This is actually kind of boring.]

[alienfromkansas.livejournal.com]

[Wally, what the hell.]

I was worried, don't you give me 'brains'. You aren't hurt, are you?

[fasterthan]

[HE'S WALLY what are you expecting, seriousness?

But hey, hearing that Big Blue was worried sobers him. The guy probably thought he was actually dead. Which is a big deal. Especially after the whole Justice Lords thing.]

Hey, sorry man. I'm not hurt. Don't think I am, anyway. I feel okay, except for the compulsive shambling and stalking and the nifty cape.

[And there goes the seriousness again.]

Bet you're jealous of the cape, aren't you.

[alienfromkansas.livejournal.com]

[Clark tries to fight a smile. Needles to say that battle doesn't last long, it's really hard not to grin around Wally.]

I happen to have a fondness for capes. You've seen my suit after all.

[fasterthan]

[COMIC RELIEF. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.]

I sure have. I'd probably have a cape too if there wasn't a heck of a lot of wind resistance involved.

[igotthisdown.livejournal.com]

... Whoever is following me, you'd better show yourself before I kick your butt.

[alienfromkansas.livejournal.com]

I guess that'd eventually become a problem, yes.

[He raises an eyebrow and tilts his head.] ...So what are you exactly doing, dressed up like this?

[fasterthan]

[He shrugs.]

Dunno, man. I just woke up like this and had the urge to shuffle around after people. It's kind of fun but kind of annoying, too. I mean, even moving at a normal speed still feels slow to me. Being forced to shuffle is getting really old.

[fasterthan]

[Oh well he might as well. He waves.]

Hey, 'sup.

[igotthisdown.livejournal.com]

... What are you doing?

[fasterthan]

Following you around. Not really sure why. Just saw you and kind of got the impulse to just do it, I guess.

[igotthisdown.livejournal.com]

What's up with the costume?

[fasterthan]

[He shrugs.]

I woke up in it. Actually I'm kind of really confused about the whole business, but hey. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

...I don't think you smell.

[fasterthan]

[He grins.]

Well that's something to be happy about, at least.

[has-no-plan.livejournal.com]

...I guess you could think of it like that.
