Is anyone else unfortunate enough to have someone leave puddles trailing throughout their room as well as the hallway outside, or is that just me? I suppose this doubles as a general PSA that if you're on the fourth floor, beware of rogue puddles left by a particular person.

This person might look suspiciously like Barry Allen.

And no. I'm not talking about his mirror.

...please tell me what liquid we're talking here.

[breacher]

Water.

But I can understand why the question is relevant.

[catchacold]

Thank you for your understanding.

Why's he dragging water all over your room?

text;

[breacher]

Because he's obnoxious.

[agentxthirteen]

Are you saying he hasn't been house-trained?

text;

[breacher]

Well

Not in the way you're thinking.

[ The answer doesn't come right way meta, because what? ]

What other way is there?

He'll put his wet feet up on the table.

The first time I met Barry Allen he was dripping wet in all his clothing.

I think it's just a thing he does. I live on the fourth floor too but I was hanging out with Iris at the time.

[breacher]

It's absolutely a "thing" he does. That's not surprising.

You're friends with West?

[shorthair]

It makes him unique.

Yeah, we met when I first arrived, and she helped me paint my room with stars and stuff, because otherwise it was seriously ugly and I didn't know what to do with it. Are you from their world?

[breacher]

Extremely.

She's good at that. Figuring things like that out. We are — I'm Dr. Harrison Wells. We work together.

TEXT.

[ dude!!!! there is so much wrong with this — the breaking of bro code, the accusations, the misconstruing of everything, the fact wells has really nice fluffy towels and barry can't get them from the closet no matter how hard he tries! ]

I CLEAN UP AFTER MYSELF!

[breacher]

Puddles, Allen.

Puddles.

[accelerate]

Which occur naturally after it rains. Do you have a leak in your ceiling? Maybe you should fix it.

Unless you don't have plumbers on Earth-2.

[breacher]

I have people who don't know how to stay dry.

Nothing so unfortunate as of yet on the second floor, although I doubt my neighbors need either ideas or inspiration.

[Rip suspects it's only a matter of time before someone gets bored enough to vandalize something. Possibly with fire.]

This Barry Allen sounds like a true menace. Rather unfortunate you've wound up living near him.

text

[breacher]

Well. You know what they say about idle hands.

He'll learn. Eventually.

[ m . . . aybe. ]

Re: text

It's only a matter of time before they make something explode?

[Seriously Harry this is the least reassuring conversation ever.

Allow Rip to return the favor.]

Oh, certainly. And until then, how much of a mess can one person truly make? I'm sure a few puddles are as bad as it's going to get.

text

[breacher]

Something like that.

[ though he pauses because — is that sarcasm? in hindsight, damn his defaulting to text responses. ]

Wishful thinking, for physical and metaphorical puddles.

text

[accelerate]

Rather *fortunate!

Fixed it for you, dude. Consider it a free service, kind of like the puddles. (Shhh, don't tell Wells.)

Re: text

[directed]

How kind.

And here I suppose we have the culprit himself? The infamous Barry Allen.

[accelerate]

[ he's about to say "how do you know my name?" but wells name-tagged him. you're the worst, dad 3.0. ]

Depends if you're with the floor police. Or #Team Wells.

Then my name's Al Funcoot.

not here

[catchacold]

[Vandalise, you say...]

Re: not here

[directed]

[no, actually. he did not say that, or suggest it in any way shape or form.

down snart.]
