[006] - Phone and Action

[Phone]

So hey guys! How's it going? I just kinda realized I've been neglecting my... I dunno, civic duty to generally be a nice guy and check up on my friends and stuff and see how everything's going. I hear there's a Prom coming up! Sounds like a riot. You can totally plan on seeing me there. Better put on your best dancing shoes because I am a hard man to follow once I get on the dance floor let me tell you.

[Action: Early Afternoon, the pharmacy]

[Wally West: Pharmacist is filling prescriptions and helping customers like any good pharmacist should. He may even be whistling happily. He's just that cheerful. Good lord.

He may be sneaking peeks at the clock every now and then, though. He must be getting antsy.]

[Action: Late Afternoon, ALL OVER TOWN]

[If you're paying attention you might notice a scarlet blur whizzing down the street. It's Wally, in full Flash getup, and he's on patrol. Basically this just means he's running around. If he see something SUSPICIOUS he'll totally pull up and check it out. If you shout at him he'll stop and say hi! Because he's your friendly neighborhood Flash, and he's here to help. :) ]

[Action: Nelson Street]

[Wally's sitting out on the porch with the newspaper. He's not reading it. He finished it about a second after he picked it up, and it was boring. Now he's crumpling it up into balls and tossing them at Rainbow Dash's cloud house.

HE'S BORED NOW. OOPS. It's been really quiet around the house since Foster left.]

Comments

There might be a few people around who can help with that. Ask around.

But you might end up getting stuff back in the mail anyway. I got here slow as everyone else and after a few big things went down they gave it all back to me.

[He frowns.]

'Course, they can take it away again whenever they want, but for the most part it's good to be up to speed, y'know?

[beetlemania]

Yeah, I think I'll have to. The town set me up as a mechanic, so at least I've got access to a bunch of spare parts there.

They told me about the mail, but I'm not holding my breath...and I'm not going over there to trade anything, either. I like my limbs right where they are.

[Ted nods.]

If stuff starts going crazy, it never hurts to have what you're used to fighting with.

[fasterthan]

Hey, that works. They made me a pharmacist, not really sure where that came from. But hey, can't complain.

[beetlemania]

Yeah, I figure I got lucky. I can only imagine how bad it would be if they'd decided I was a barber or something. I'd go crazy from the boredom.

[fasterthan]

Ha, I talked to someone who had been doing that. She said she dyed everyone's hair blue and gave them mohawks and stuff.

[beetlemania]

Okay, THAT is definitely the way to handle that job. I bet those drones wouldn't even notice...

[fasterthan]

Probably didn't, probably just chatted their heads off and went about their day like normal. Wish I could've seen it.

[beetlemania]

Goodness knows it would have livened up my fake zombie wife a bit...

[fasterthan]

Oh man yeah they're... pretty terrible, aren't they. I was pretty lucky that when I got here I was in a full house, but most of them are gone now...

[SADNESS. BUT ONLY FOR A MOMENT.]

Here's hoping they're home safe and sound.

[beetlemania]

Yeah, hopefully they made it back okay. Gives the rest of us hope for getting back home too, you know?

[fasterthan]

Man I sure hope so. I mean in general the whole hope thing feels pretty iffy at times, you know? But you gotta just keep going.
