IC DATING SHOW MEME

THE IC DATING SHOW MEME

It works like this: characters post a comment in the form of a dating game (you know, the 'Hi my name is Cindee and I like long walks on the beach, pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain!' ones) and can be as serious or not as they like. Then others can respond anonymously (but still ICly) or logged in asking questions and being asked questions in return. Fun and spam happens!

I was just answering the question!

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah but I meant this me not the other me. From what I heard, the other me deserves to be called a jerk.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I dunno. You try dealing with alternates who look exactly the same.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was probably my bad, sorry.

So anyway, how's the whole ship thing? You never answered.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Oh! It's okay, I guess. I mean, I got a lot of friends here and stuff. I miss Max a lot, though.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Better than being alone, right? ....so, uh. This may sound kinda weird, but your powers working okay?

I don't think the other you told me much about Max. Who's he?

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fine. Why?

He's the zen master of speed! And he's not really my uncle but that's what we tell people cause he's my guardian and training me and stuff. Mentor! That's the word!

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Uh, no reason.

You have a mentor? Man, that's actually kinda cool. Sure beats learning it all by yourself. Why's he called the 'zen master of speed'?

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Why? Are yours?

Grampa Barry taught you in my world. And cause of all his Speedforce stuff.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

A little. But it's nothing I can't handle, promise! [He's so counting on Bart not picking up how he's lying through his teeth.]

Yeah, but my uncle doesn't have powers, so I kinda had to do it all on my own. I mean, I only found out about the Speedforce a few weeks back, so cut me some slack!

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? Howaren't they working? How fast can you run?

No one knew about it till Max started talking about it. And then Johnny Quick didn't believe him until he died but I went into it to save Max from my evil clone!

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Hey, I still run plenty fast! And anyway, they're back here, so don't think you'd get an easy win in a race.

....man, that sounds like about six stories mixed up in one.

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Doesthismeanyou'recominghere? Cause we lost the other Wally and even if he is a jerk he's my cousin and I miss him and you're not a jerk and it'd be cool if you were here.

...not fast enough to keep up?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Well if it were up to me... I mean, some days I'd much rather a giant spaceship and having to fight aliens then where I am now. But uh, what happened to the other guy anyway?

Don't you wish! [MORE hair ruffling] Still the fastest man alive, and I don't see that changing any time soon!

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

Um. Good question. He just stopped bein' here.

I'll be faster when I'm older!

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

...that's not going to starting happening to others, is it? 'Cause that happens where I am now and let me tell you, it really bites. We lost Batman that way.

So you wanna race me when you're older?

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

I'll take you on any time!

I don't know. I don't think so. I hope not.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Much as I hate to say it, there's probably not much you can do other than see what happens.

But until then... [Taps Bart's nose] Tag.

[Annnnnnnd he's off! Speedster tag!]
