Wow this is....this is a bit difficult. Exciting, don't get me wrong but I feel like I'm reading my journal out loud to everyone.

What else are you supposed to say?

Right, right, I remember.

[Regrets and hesitation here. Why did he even say all that outside of being a loser?

Oh right, that explains everything.]

Look, I'm not one for public advertising but with all this excitement, I'd like to help a bit. So...

...ugh, I forgot to introduce myself. Barry Allen, that's my name. I'm a forensic scientist and I kind of own a place called S.T.A.R. Labs.

Which means if anyone has a crime they need to be solved, just give me a ring. Or hit me up if you need anything else. It's what I'm good at. Which was the whole point of this. I want to help out but don't really have a place to start. So if anyone wants to point fingers, point away. My mind is open to all comers.

[Short sentences and awkward. Yep, he was having a bit of an issue.]

That's all, I think. Good bye? Signing off? How do people do this...?

You probably shouldn't look down on humans too much. Someone might think you're some type of evil villain.

[runningjoke]

I don't care. You're inferior beings.

[sanicspeed]

Yeaaaaaaaah. That's the kind of talk that leads into killing and slavery and all that. Might want to tone that down.

[runningjoke]

Oh, trust me, I won't be killing any humans here. But I'm not going to stop talking about it.

[sanicspeed]

That's a really slippery slope.

[runningjoke]

We aren't near any slopes whatsoever.

[ Seriously, does she even seem like a threat. ]

[sanicspeed]

You've never heard of that idiom, huh.

[He knows how the lowest common denominator of people tend to act when they hear opinions similar to their own.]

[runningjoke]

What's an idiom.

[ Truly the face and questions of a killer. ]

[sanicspeed]

It's an expression that mostly has figurative meaning. Sometimes literal though.

[runningjoke]

So I am figuratively going down a slippery slope.

[sanicspeed]

It means you're hitting a point in your dialogue where it's hard to turn back and realize what you're doing is wrong.

[runningjoke]

Yeah, because I haven't said anything wrong. I'm stating facts. Gems are better than humans, in literally every way.

[sanicspeed]

I'm saying that's not true. We all have our good and bad points. People should be judged as individuals, not as a whole.

[runningjoke]

Yes, you humans and your individualism. I get it. Even most Gems have strengths and weaknesses. The only flawless Gems are the Diamonds.

But even all of the weaknesses a Gem has, we're still superior to humans. It's just simple fact. We're made to adjust to different climates and gravitational pulls, we don't need to sleep or consume, and we can regenerate our physical forms. Humans can't.

[sanicspeed]

Minus the sleeping and eating, humans can do all that too.

[runningjoke]

So if I stabbed you through the chest, you'd be fine after?

[sanicspeed]

Me? I er...

[Don't blow it, Barry!]

...I plead the fifth.

[runningjoke]

Just admit it, human. You're inferior. I won't respect you any less than I already do.

[sanicspeed]

I'm...I'm sure if the Flash heard about that, he'd sincerely disagree.

[runningjoke]

Who?

[sanicspeed]

The Flash. Come on, you haven't heard of him?

[runningjoke]

Nope. Must not be important!!
