[The feed clicks on to reveal a red-headed teen with yellow eyes, who's currently peering at the device like it's going to explode.]

Okay, power button. Check. I thought this could be like that episode of The Twilight Zone where they execute people by blowing up in their rooms and that maybe someone was clever for a change and made the self-destruct button look like the on/off. But! Obviously not, because I'm still here.

I think I'm getting paranoid. It's like there's this voice in my head going -

[Bart holds two fingers up to either side of his head, so they stick up through his hair like ears.]

"Trust nothing."

[He puts his arms down, and he really drops them. They're just suddenly gone, and the camera picks up maybe two frames of the action, but even that's a little lost in a yellow flash. Bart only laughs with relief.]

Hey! Look at that, they weren't lying about that either. Now, if it would just hurry up and work all the time.

So, uh. Hi. Bart Allen. Anyone know where to find the games on this thing? I gotta pass the time until the rest of you slow down.

If you don't trust anything, how are you supposed to listen to the voice in your head?

[ He doubts there's really a voice, but it's as good an introduction as any. ]

[Shock and bewilderment. He never thought of it that way.]

Woah. I'm going to ask that the next time I see him.

Nice to meet 'cha.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

Looks like you found some friends already, huh? That's usually the way it works... people find others that they know.

[backinakidflash]

I think they all found me this time. For once. I'll beat them to it the next time.

There's always room for more.

[OOC: Is Jack on video? I'm eyeballing his permission post.]

Re: [video] UMM we can go with whatever suits for you!

[wintershepherd]

You realize most of them will hold you to that challenge, right?

[video; Audio is fine]

[backinakidflash]

Yup. I like a challenge. I won't get better if I don't push the limits.

Re: [video; Audio is fine]

[wintershepherd]

You sound like a fun guy, Bart. I think you'll fit in just fine here.

Thanks, Jack. I try.
