Re: quicklog: flash/gwen in orchard
Yeah man. It's not as exciting when there's no one in it, but yeah. [Flash had a hard time talking through every little bit of human emotions (cause he tended to talk himself into a fucking circle that way) but he loved going over shit involving Reaper and alien life in general. He didn't have the mind for science and experiments, but he had the temperament to work with them and understand their behavior. Which, yeah, was pretty fucked up since he wasn't so good at understanding people all the time. The next question made Reaper's eyes reappear and narrow with thought. There were a few chirps and then Flash nodded:] I'm going to let him talk through me. [He thought that was a fair warning before he leaned forward, crossing his legs and resting his elbows on his knees.
Black ink stretched over his face to form the Reaper "mask" that she had seen moments before. He spoke, in a deep voice that seemed to be void of Flash:] I was cast out of my homeworld for being corrupt. I've met different hosts since then, but none that I've bonded with as much as Flash. [He took a deep, watery breath.] If I could return to my own planet, I would take Flash with me. I had a name before the corruption, it does not matter to me anymore. I wish to be Reaper.
[The black ink pooled away from his face and Flash reappeared, eyes still closed for a little longer. He slowly looked up at her and smiled.] It took years to gain that kind of trust with him. It's still a dangerous thing to do, but we like to show off. [He grinned and then made an oo noise when she poked him. The next subject about the people in their group wasn't as fun and Flash had this look on his face like he was realizing he sounded way too fucking close to Felicity.]
We're on the same government team and she's easy to talk to. I don't like her or anything, she was just an easy person to make friends with. [Flash shook his head.] The Jason thing was- I had heard from you and her that he was having a lot of issues with me being around. And, I knew sure as shit it wasn't making it easier on MJ either. So, I swallowed my fucking pride and tried to fix things. I did it for everyone, especially if he's going to be a big part of our group. [And Flash shrugged again before:] You think Perry would wanna be working for the government?
