[Someone has recently spent several days out of phase and is still being a complete motormouth to make up for it.]

So autumn's really kicked it into high gear, and I was thinking that this'd be an awesome time for a bonfire on the beach. Something like the beginning of Jaws - only. Y'know. Minus the 3 ton killer shark. Thaaaaat was a terrible example. Like Pajama Party, without aliens. Um. OK. That one sucks too. There's aliens all over this turtle.

My retro movie knowledge is real limited guys. Is there a late night party in Beach Blanket Bingo? Read about it, haven't seen it. I've seen pictures of Annette Funicello though. She was pretty cute. Weird hair. She's not here, is she? A beach party with the queen of beach parties would be awesome.

So yeah. I was thinking maybe tomorrow night. Everyone's welcome. I'll bring the marshmallows. Everybody bring their own blanket and one thing to burn. I'd suggest we burn that iridescent paint, but then with my luck I'll get knocked out of this plane after my next shower and have to find another knick-knack with paint on it AND someone who knows Morse code. Again. Anyway. Attendees get two rules. We leave the beach and the ocean cleaner than we found them, and nobody mentions curfews.

Sound like a good idea to anyone else? I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Want a toasted marshmallow delivery if you don't turn up? [He puts both hands up and laughs.] Neutral location drop off. I respect privacy boundaries.

This is really just a check-in. But still serious on the sugar offer.

[Two OOC notes: 1. Sadly, I don't have time to put up a log for this tomorrow, but if anyone else wants to, feel free. 2. Bart is still under the after effects, wherein he does not remember Barry Allen. He is not aware of this.]

[As dry as he dares when he's being Bruce Wayne rather than Batman...]

I suppose you'll be needing actual food for this endeavour? Marshmallows won't go very far between a pack of adolescents.

[SPEEDSTERS.]

[backinakidflash]

I'm not gonna turn anything down, but I don't think you get how many marshmallows we're talking about here. Like. Enough to feed a starving grade school. Nobody's leaving hungry.

A few people might leave with stomach aches. Nothing some Pepto-Waynemol won't cure.

[He grins.]

Think you could hook us up with a gallon of that?

[Sigh.]

And the city's closest approximation to hamburgers and hotdogs. Protein is important, Bart.

Re: video;

[backinakidflash]

Yeah. I know. I'm constantly eating protein. I don't live on marshmallows. Do you know how hard I crash off sugar? It's all about the slow-burning calor-

[Bart blinks. Repeatedly. There is a significant pause going on here, more so than even when he's trying to pull off a pregnant pause, because this. Is. MAJOR.]

There's a substitute for hot dogs.

Dick and me had this WHOLE conversation about chili cheese dogs, and you kept quiet.

I almost blew up Tim's kitchen trying to make synthetic casings, and you kept quiet.

BUT I THREATEN TO FEED THE CHILDREN MARSHMALLOWS AND SUDDENLY YOU TELL ME THERE ARE HOT DOGS??

[Mildly,]

They're a recent development.

You are like the Ebeneezer Scrooge of summer. You're the Boo Radley of the Metal Sector. The only thing that keeps you from being Uriah Heep is aesthetics. Bluntly, you have been holding out on me, sir.

[And then his brain catches up with his mouth.]

Please don't fire me.

[He'd never actually admit to missing those rants while Bart was, you know. Dead. But he did. In a weird way.]

Hn.

Come pick up your supplies, and we'll talk about what else you can do to stay on my good side. I think I have a warehouse that needs cleaning in the Fire Sector...

i hadnt thought of morse code actually

that sounds really smart

[backinakidflash]

Sometimes. I have really good ideas.

Or you know. Sometimes I'm trying to scare the pants off someone and it turns INTO a good idea.

[iguanasolution]

had fun while being a poltergeist then?

[backinakidflash]

For the first ten minutes. After that it was a nonstop trip to Sucksville, population: me.

[iguanasolution]

you and everyone else that became a ghost

have you come back completely normal? or is that rude to ask?

[backinakidflash]

If it's rude, I don't mind? I'm back to normal. Everything's solid. None of the scenery's freaking out when I go by. Everything's cool.

Beach Blanket Bingo?

[Barry hasn't seen that one yet. Is it any good?]

Re: video.

[backinakidflash]

It's an old beach movie. Stuff like that used to be popular in the 50s back on my world. You'd have to find someone older for that - or just someone with a lot more patience than me. I don't have the attention span for a lot of movies.

[bolthead]

So I've noticed.

[He's kinda gathered that over the past few weeks. Months? Close enough.]

But it's a good idea, the bonfire. [And then in typical Barry fashion:] You're not suffering any side-effects from being, well, gone, are you?

Re: video.

[backinakidflash]

You've noticed?

[Bart isn't normally the suspicious type, but, when a random blond guy starts sounded like he already knows you, well. It does put one on edge. He waves his hands in small circles, index fingers pointed towards the screen.]

I get it. This is one of those multiverse things. OK. I'll play. How do you know me?

video.

[bolthead]

I—

[The reply dies on his lips completely at the unexpected question. This is a joke, right? Even with Bart's sense of humor, this seems slightly out of line.]

You really don't know who I am?

Re: video.

[backinakidflash]

... no?

[Bart suddenly feels awful about this. Is this how it felt when he told Wally they were related and Wally had no clue who was? No. But maybe it's how Wally felt about it. He feels guilty, even though he hasn't done anything wrong.]

You're kinda avoiding the how do you know me question. And the who are you one that I haven't asked yet. Meant to imply that one.

Uh, yeah. Sugar's great. Thanks.

I'm totally fine, but I don't know if a campfire and kumbaya are really my thing. You can just.. drop it at Bruce Banner's, if you know where that is?

[backinakidflash]

You're welcome!

Kumbaya's a little too sleepy. And no, but I can probably find out.

Why don't I just like, stop by your place late on my way home?

Re: encrypted 50%

[backinakidflash]

[Bart's laughing as he speaks.] They'd be cold by then, but if that's how you wanna do it, sure.

[everylittlegirl]

Fine, whatever. Just come to Bruce's then.

You got it!

Hey - thanks for responding and letting me know you're OK.
