[ So the question Wally really wanted to ask here, after having been settled in his suite by those lovely, if odd-looking things that brought him from some palace, was- did they really expect him to buy the whole "in-between life and death" thing? This felt way too real, compared to that time he had been stuck in the Helm of Fate, even though he could feel pain in that instance.

If this was something remotely like that place inside the Helm, anyway, it was a lot better decorated. Empty blue space could get really old, really fast.

Still. He wasn't too impressed with the story as it was told to him, and he figured he'd test the waters on this network. ]

So, introductions are in order. Name's Wally West. I'm sixteen years old and from Central City. [ ASL, much? ]

Anyone want to tell me how far we gotta row a boat out til we hit the studio door? [ As if this were a movie about some reality TV show, obviously. Seriously, though, he was rolling his eyes a bit. It probably didn't help that the last thing he could remember before arriving here was a mission going sour due to someone's insecurities. Duplicity, which he figured was being dished out here, was not doing anything to make his mood any better. ]

[ Well, he'd say his is a pretty stunning face, so there's no way it could ever be forgotten, but- beside the point. ]

Nice to meet you, Victor.

Eh- I figured, just trying to lighten the mood a bit. So, uh- Aside from being stranded from home, is it me or does everyone seem a little touchy around here?

Nice meeting you too.

Maybe. What do you mean touchy? Something happen?

Uh.... Well. [ He took a moment to think back on his earlier conversation. ]

I dunno- It involves alternate universes... The way things sound, it's like I kicked someone's dog over there.

Oh, alternate universe stuff is always a headache.

Maybe they know a less than good version of you from their universe. Or it's something like hoping you were their version of you and being disappointed. [Vic shrugs.]

[ The idea of the former, well... Wally could never buy something like that, but that second option, though- ]

Huh... I guess that could be it. [ Now he felt kind of, well, lousy for... not being the guy this Kyle was hoping for? As if that made sense. ]

So- Out of curiosity- Are you a- [ How does he put this delicately? ]

A Martian? [ Which would be really cool for him, honestly! He just- doesn't know about mutants. ]

Or it could be something else entirely. [He shrugs.] I don't really know, just offering some suggestions.

[He smiles a bit and shakes his head at that question.] No, I'm a mutant. This green guy's not from space.

[ Mutant. Hm. Not ringing any bells, though the word made sense in a biological sense. ]

Ah, well- I've seen enough Martians that it gets to be nothing new, haha.

Well it's good the whole green and spiky thing doesn't freak you out at least.

I think I might know what world you're from at least. You know a guy named Dick?

Me? Puh-lease. Green and spiky's just the outsie. And it's a pretty cool outside, if you ask me.

Dick? [ He blinked. ] I know one. Kid with black hair and a sharp tongue?

[Vic smiles.] Okay, you I like. I wish more people thought that way.

That sounds like him. He went right to the Martian question too.

Hah, yeah, that sounds like a little Dick I know. [ Said with a mix of affection and certain emphasis on the name. ]

Has he been causin' you any trouble? If he has, I promise it's a sign that he likes you.

[Victor gives a little laugh.]

No, no trouble. We just talked for awhile at a party.

Party- You guys're having parties here? Wow, I guess things can't be that bad.

There's not much to do here aside from work and party. We've been trying to fix that though.

Oh, right- those guys who brought me here told me I needed to find work... [ Hrgh. The bane of his existence. ]

Yeah, you've got to make money to pay for things like food and clothes after all. If you need a hand finding one, I can look around.

I wouldn't mind the assist, actually. [ Grin. ]

[Vic smiles as well.]

Alright. I'll look around and let you know if I find anything. Is there any kind of job you'd really rather not do before I start looking?

[ Wally shrugs. ]

I'm used to doing anything, really. [ Okay, not really, but a hero's supposed to be prepared, right? ]

Alright. Then I'll get back to you with a few options. [He offers a quick smile.] I'll see you later then.
