voice; UN: red streak

[sanicspeed]

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...?

...I don't believe you.

[His voice isn't accusatory, but plain and flat. He doesn't believe what Barry says - he doesn't really believe in Barry at all anymore.]

If you ask, I'll make my decision at that moment. I'm not going to make any promises to you anymore.

oice;

[sanicspeed]

You better watch out because I'm going to prove that to you.

[hsalf]

You already proved it, once. You just didn't realize it.

[It took a lot for him to accept that this Barry was different and to abandon his want to kill him. Then Barry proved him right all along by turning out exactly like he thought he was.]

[sanicspeed]

[A naive idiot? Yep.]

I always thought I was pretty straight forward.

[hsalf]

You are.

You just don't think before you move.

[sanicspeed]

Ugh, you can say that a thousand times. The number one thing I need to work on.

[hsalf]

Number two: your awful hair.

[Now he's just insulting Barry for fun.]

[sanicspeed]

I have very nice hair, thank you. That's not going to change at all.

[hsalf]

Number three: your clothes. You have awful fashion taste.

[Now he's just being rude.]

[sanicspeed]

You're really just trying to be a dick now.

[hsalf]

Four: your face in general. It's really...punchable. Probably because of that stupid grin you're always sporting around.

[Now he really is just being a dick for the sake of being one.]

[sanicspeed]

You do realize I don't have to put up with this, right?

[hsalf]

I guess not, but I suspect you're some sort of masochist.
