{OOM: Take to the streets, but you can't ignore
That's the sound
That's the sound you're waiting for.}

-There is, rather suddenly, a speedster in the bar. And for a second, he considers going right out, but time will have stopped on the other side of his door and maybe a few minutes to regroup and figure out what the hell just happened isn't such a bad idea.

And thus, a speedster in one of the booths, absently tapping his fingers against the table. Catch him while you can, folks.

"Really."

T- ...etc.

"Are we going to have to have the 'get in touch with your feelings' talk again?"

...Wince.

"I hope not."

He kinda sucks at it. :/

"Okay, so: this is how you avoid that. You share what's wrong with your friends, and then you all work together to fix it."

SHARE, BART.

"That's not a 'get in touch with your feelings' talk?"

DOUBTFUL.

"No, the 'get in touch with your feelings' talk is a very long lecture that includes statistics and graphs and pictures of teenage suicides. I'm not even kidding, I got it when I was fourteen and started painting my nails black."

No, really.

"..."

"My parents are weird. We've covered this. Are you going to make me play twenty questions?"

Shrug.

It's tradition, after all.

Or something.

Facepalm, says Billy.

HE LOVES THESE CONVERSATIONS, REALLY.

ADMIT IT.

NOT SO MUCH NO.

Which is why he's going to sit here in slightly stony silence.

UH-HUH, SURE.

And Bart's going to... tap his fingers, still.

It's kind of irritating. He's listened to worse, though.

...Yeah, this isn't doing anything.

"Look," he says, helpfully standing up, "I have something I gotta do, so-"

Meaningfully eyeing Door now. LOOK HE'S TRYING NOT TO BE TOO RUDE ABOUT BAILING :O.

"Yeah." Billy rubs the back of his neck. "Look, Jay? If I can do anything..."

"No," he says,

But it's not mean or anything (there might even be an implied 'thanks'!); it just is what it is.

And then the thread was down one speedster.
