MACH 1 ⚡ VIDEO

[ After realizing he didn't accidentally run into another world and slam into the top of a box right out of the breach he accidentally created and knock himself unconscious on the roof of said box, Barry Allen felt a little more comfortable talking to the masses. And before you get up in arms about that assumed explanation, there's no rule that says you have to end up facing the right way when you arrive in another world because you ran too fast with a tachyon converter and he was running up a building so the facing-up thing was already-- look, it would've made sense if there weren't a couple hundred other displaced people here. The likelihood of an Earth 3? 4? He's going with 4. 1 his, 2 Harry and Zoom's, 3 Supergirl's, 4 this one. The likelihood of an Earth 4 having a Barry-doppelganger seemed unlikely.

But more important than that, Barry's been keeping himself quiet for a couple of days- except for the red streak being seen around town whenever people suddenly finding themselves out of burning buildings and on the street corner a safe distance away in the blink of an eye, cats out of trees and in little girls arms, bank robbers suddenly finding all of their weapons on the ground at the feet of the local PD. He's been being careful, save for that one time he tried to run straight through the barrier and knocked himself out for a couple of hours.

This also means he's really hungry and borderline hypoglycemic since he only had one of Cisco's protein bars on him and it's been a couple days. (It's hard to carry around much in a superhero suit, alright?) ]


Hey- so, where's the best place to eat a lot of food for really cheap? And a job. I'm good in forensics, physics, chemistry.. I'm an okay sketch artist. I'm a forensic scientist for the Central City PD back home so I'd like something like that, but I'm flexible. [ Mostly because he needs money for food and shelter whether there's a forensics position open or not. ]

Oh- [ And a smile. The charming smile will totally make up for the fact that the actual name-sharing of his introduction came late, right? ] I'm Barry Allen.

How do you feel about five dollar foot-longs, Barry? But instead of fucking deli-meat sandwiches disguised as health food, they're giant ass tacos from a greasy truck. Because that's the most bang for the red buck I've found here that won't immediately give you food poison.

Hmm...really cheap food, huh? I dunno about that, but I'm doing food reviews for restaurants here! Maybe you can join me! I could use a cohost!

[She's sure Ren would be a bit too reserved for that sorta thing.]

It doesn't pay anything yet, though.

It's, uh. Shit. Wait a second. Where am I? [ the camera is turning along with him. the timing is spot on (ha ha) for him to answer this because he's at this truck ] Elder and 18th? 19th? The hospital area because doctors gotta get their grub on sometimes. There you go.

[She flicks her hand at his lack of eagerness.]

What's there to be good at? You've got tastebuds and a voice, right? Let the food talk to you, and then speak your mind! Plus, since you're new, you can be the voice of the newbies! Showing them the ropes about where to eat and not to eat!

[ okay. that was really convenient if he was actually right there. it seems to be the truth too given the time. an eyebrow raises but that's all the reaction dave gives him. guy wants his tacos. ]

It is good. I wouldn't recommend literal garbage. 'Sup Barry. Way to trust a stranger's opinions. Go for the one with the name that ends in 'gut buster.' It's disgusting and possibly coma inducing yet you will eventually seek it out again. Like a Michael Bay movie.

Great! Welcome aboard, Barry! I'm going live in a little bit! I dunno how close you are, but you can join me and take notes!

[She's a professional, you know! Only this is her first day, sshh.]

I'm Nora. Nora Valkyrie.

[Forensic scientist? Have the most biased answer he'll probably get.]

The Genessia PD would probably welcome you with open arms. It's not... quite as safe here as that welcome message says. Someone with your skillset would go a ways to fixing that.

You went so quickly for the tacos you went ass backwards into introductions. [ he did the exact same thing with like six people here. ]

Dave Strider. Hey.

[ stuffs his hands in his pockets, shrugging ]

That's a weird fucking question. A lot? You think I'm checking the calorie counts if I'm eating out of a taco truck because I'm broke and it's delicious? [ there's a considerate pause where he slips a hand out of his pocket and seems to count his fingers ] Like 1,820 or something.

OH right! Sorry! I'm at [insert some random restaurant and location here!] I'll let the staff know you're part of my crew!

[personal profile] heartboop 2016-04-24 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yep!

[She's an entire crew all by herself, anyway! But now with other people, she has one now!]

You'll get a warm welcome!

[If 'cop' means something like that strange red blur that's been a guardian angel around town, then yes.]

Nah. Just a guy who saw a bit too much back in the day. Now, he's a concerned citizen.

[ two. he exchanges a look with the truck man that's all raised eyebrows and shrugs.
dave may or may not be talking to barry exactly while the guy makes the tacos. his own order was a single one that is not the 'gut busting' one. because god damn. ]


Like. Sometimes you just gotta go for it and eat an entire large pizza by yourself. I mean, I definitely ate till I made myself sick when I got here because food is beautiful and precious and despite what your alien roommates had said grubsauce doesn't taste a fucking thing like ketchup and won't help anything taste less like play-doh or weird mystery meat. Your determination to stuff your damn face is admirable. Go for it, dude.

[Oh, wow, he's cute. Airy doesn't usually greet new people because she's as helpful as a kumquat but she can try. To avoid being too awkward she uses her phone as a phone.]

Hi Barry! I'm Airy. I know of a few places in Genessia. [She happens to be a food enthusiast and is also lacking a job.]

What do you like? Or are you one of those people who just like things that are eatable?

[She wants to ask him about the forensics thing but she doesn't know how to bring that up without sounding like a fan girl because that sounds really cool.]

Medical condition? Shit. Get this man some tacos. Stat. Make sure there's extra meats.

[ barry it sounds like you're trying to cover up being high or something. dave's beyond unphased by the comment. he just replies like it's super normal for literally everyone to know aliens. despite having been called out on how abnormal that is by just about everyone he's talked to here. he's just going to own it. "fuck it." - dave strider, every day of his life. ]

Probably different species, dude. Not everyone was graced with the xenoculinary disasters from the last remains of troll society.

[ another shrug ] It's okay. It's a basic city up until someone decides to announce they're letting a vampire legalize night murders. Where's Central City? It sounds generically American.
