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...?

That's what happens. The best prevention is a good offense and an educated population.

A good offense and an educated population... [mfw education for non-nobles is probably shit in ladylake OOPS. it sounds like a good idea though!!] I may try suggesting that when I return home.

[sanicspeed]

What, do you happen to have the ear of someone in your government?

[1300yen]

Something like that, although they seldom listen to me...

[sanicspeed]

If they're not listening, there's only one proper thing to do.

[1300yen]

What would that be?

[sanicspeed]

You know, just...smack'em around a little. Remind them that they serve the people, not themselves.

[BARRY PLEASE....... Although it does get a small laugh out of Alisha.]

If it was that simple, I would have "smacked them around" more than a dozen times by now.

[sanicspeed]

[Don't laugh, she'll make him feel awkward. Oops, too late.]

Have you even tried that yet? You never know...

[1300yen]

[But Barry is always awkward!!]

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't. It... didn't go well, to say the least. [embarrassing tbh]

[sanicspeed]

Do you want to talk about it or...?

[1300yen]

Thank you for your offer, but no, it's quite alright. Dwelling on the past won't change anything. [THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON IN THE PRESENT!! And wow actually talking to people about your problems??? That sure sounds like something she rarely does!!] Besides, I doubt the politics of my country would be that interesting to listen to.

[sanicspeed]

No, no! There's a lot of important things to learn from the past and I'm definitely willing to listen.

[Barry, never picking up on social cues.]

[1300yen]

It's fine, really! I promise. [BARRY.... She appreciates it but talking about how much her own canon shits on her would be embarrassing.......]

[sanicspeed]

Well, you know, if you ever need to, let me know. I'll keep an open ear, really.

[1300yen]

Thank you, Barry. I truly do appreciate that.
