divinediatribes said: “ every detail is important.” from Jonathan *: ・゚✧ interrogation starters – a c c e p t i n g !
❝ In retrospect , it’s really fucking not - ❞ There’s no desire to stay glued to this back & forth ... whatever it actually was , specifics. Maybe a little ignorance dressed in his tone – but Barry knew exactly what he was trying to say , & he knew this was wasting time. He sighs , arms crossed in the process. ❝ Okay fine , maybe if you’re a cop or something like that , then yeah – all the details matter. ❞ He had one too many run ins with blue badges , & all that – it was never really considered regarding specifics when dealing with hits. Needless to say this isn’t something he wants to keep doing. He can’t keep doing this. ❝ Death’s unfortunate - so fuck it , I don’t know. If I was at the scene of a murder , I’d be looking for the person that spent way too much time trying to stage something that’s supposed to look natural. Like an accident. ❞

Maybe i’ll talk about how “Barry Block” was a safety persona as a means of escape for Barry Berkman while at the same time dangerously unrealistic because of the dissociative patterns it manifested to a platform but in disguise as an “acting method” in season 1-

sheacts said: “ it’s okay. you can tell me.” *: ・゚✧ interrogation starters – a c c e p t i n g !
It’s been really bad for him , everything , how it happens – Barry didn’t even hear her say it the first time. Barry’s throat felt like it was closing in , & at this point he was just staring in her direction. This divide between trying to escape an old life & have something that was worth anything ... to just have that – but Barry couldn’t be both things. & this was where they were now. ❝ What? No it’s – it’s some really dark stuff , Sally... ❞ Barry crosses his arms , which immediately makes him feel like he’s caving into himself. Lie after lie. It was all collecting. This was a matter of confronting the fact they weren’t really in a relationship , when the honesty didn’t exist. Who he really was – It was eating him alive. ❝ Hey , ❞ Barry smiles a little tiredly , needless to say he’s still trying here. ❝ It’s a lot , you know ... & I don’t want you to get distracted , you’ve got a lot going on with the performance ... I mean I’m okay. ❞

firecpals said: “ do you remember anything unusual?” / from barbara gordon! *: ・゚✧ interrogation starters – a c c e p t i n g !
Barry sat in the chair , back still shot with pain from when he was stabbed – by a twelve year old demon girl , but thats going to be left out for multiple reasons. Every time Barry tried to fix himself , do right by the wrongs he was expected to complete – killing people – he was always consumed by the bad path. He just can’t do this shit anymore. ❝ No , not really – no. ❞ He’s slightly agitated , obvious signs of uneasiness revealed in just about every way he’s reacting right now. This was only a few steps away from confessions extracted under duress , & he wanted nothing to do with it. Barry’s memory was shot. He doesn’t remember what happens when he blacks out. ❝ Look I don’t – really know what you’re asking here , ❞

NOHO HANK.
@killact said: " is all this necessary? “ @hank!
would you rather / open
“ barry, you are like, my best friend and I value your opinion but I swear to god if you do not let me work here .. “ he forces a little chuckle, often it was a telltale sign he was getting irritable, or trying to make way through an uncomfortable conversation .. in this case, it was the former. but much like hank, there was that immediate window of feeling bad for the tone he had taken with barry ( even when it had not been rude at all, ) “ I am sorry, just like ━ I am very tired from spending two nights in a fucking storage unit, that, has not been furnished because one of the guys did not sign into my amazon account , so our orders did not qualify for next day shipping, so as you can imagine ━ because cristobal has moved hank into storage unit , like forgotten item you used to love having around .. “ there’s an ugly feeling in his chest. whatever. he sinks into the car seat, laptop in lap, mindlessly tapping away.
“ so sorry we are not in my very , tastefully decorated room right now. you know, I have thought about getting hotel room, sometimes you just gotta get away from all that toxic energy you know ━ so ! since esther has used hank’s fox mug without asking, which, is fucking impolite .. like, you know that something is not yours but you take and use anyways ? she could have asked, and I would have said no. anyways, barry, I need help deciding on these two mugs for myself and cristobal ━ he is batshit crazy if he thinks I will use the fox mug after this “
there’s nothing out of the ordinary here – he only half listens , disassociating at all the parts where Hank goes on a tangent , something that again isn’t so surprising anymore. It’s not his business what Hank decides to do in his spare time , what kind of fucking power play happens at the chechen - bolivian stash house , but apparently Hank believed it was something for Barry to weigh in on , & it makes him sigh – trying to find the patience that had been long gone the moment he stepped into the car. ❝ Look... I didn’t know you were staying in a storage unit , but honestly I can’t begin to see how that’s my business , ❞ There’s a heavier emphasis when he says ‘ my business ‘ , but Barry’s trying to stay chill as long as he can. This marks yet another thing , that shouldn’t involve him as much as Hank is involving him right now. He can’t seem to think straight , & they’re talking about things he wouldn’t expect to happen in a mob unit – nothing unordinary once Barry remembers they’re people. He knows one thing: It sounds like Cristobal wants to replace Hank.
Barry thought he was able to follow just as quickly as Hank was talking but that wasn’t working in his favor. Mindlessly he’d look out the window to see what was going on out there. He felt anxious wondering what he’d find on his phone if he decided to check it right now , but obviously doing that would further upset Hank , which is obviously the mood he was in right now. Upon the topic of mugs? This shit wasn’t making sense to him , but in some way it was obvious. ❝ Okay , I’m just trying to make sure we’re on the same page here ... ❞ Barry pauses to take a heavy breath – trying to collect & think about what he was going to say before it came out harshly. Before he yelled about how useless it was. The upside of this was Barry being able to leave class because of an emergency – which saved him from an uncomfortable rehearsal where he had to play his girlfriends abusive ex. Yeah , it’s too much to unpack. He doesn’t want to get on Hank’s bad side again. ❝ Are they universal mugs or what? I mean ... there’s always the option of having a conversation with him instead of ... buying more mugs. That uh ... it hurt your feelings , right? Like betrayal? ❞ Barry’s a fucking idiot. This is contradicting: he won’t even talk to his girlfriend about how uncomfortable that scene is , how he doesn’t want to fucking rehearse as her abusive ex.

Holy fucking shit. James is pacing now, one hand rubbing his eyes in exasperation, expecting the place to go at any minute. They’re too close he knows but dragging this guy back leaves the other inside just hanging. They don’t have time to be discussing this and yet, James can’t bring himself to go inside. He doesn’t trust his own rigging.
“ Why do you think it’s set for demo??? The place is fucking condemned, buddy! Aw fuck… man, F U C K. ” Condemned was a better word to use instead of saying it’s haunted. Haunted by a force unknown to most but so demonic and terrifying, the best method is completely removing the places it’s infected from existence. He can’t very well say that without sounding completely insane.
“ We gotta go, man… We can’t be this close. ” Save the life he knows he can save. He grabs the other man’s arm, trying to lead him back. “ Maybe your friend went out the back. Maybe he’s not even inside. But we have to go. ”
he can feel the spike of anxiety coming from this guy – & to be honest he’s not as freaked out as he might’ve been any other time. A rigged building becomes transparent to just about everything else when he’s seen worse – & Barry knows Hank deals with this kinda thing more than he’d like to. He tries to push the thought far from his own acknowledgement; that he’s only thinking it’s all fine for his own consolation.
Barry stares at the other, listening. Thinking about how fucked up this entire situation was. He wants to ask again – why the guy showed up , who he was. But he knew once the questions started coming , they’d eventually be directed at him & he didn’t want that. This guy looks like he’s seen some shit , he talks like he has. Barry turns to look at the building – he knows Hank wouldn’t exactly exit a building through the front. For all he knows , they all got their shit & booked it without even telling him they were done. It happened too much that he didn’t care. He rolls his eyes.
There’s no resistance when he’s being pulled away , & he starts to walk with the other. ❝ Fuck it – I’m so tired of this shit. ❞ That’s probably going to score him some confused looks from the other guy , but Barry had suddenly come to the late realization that he was still doing things for people he didn’t owe anything to. ❝ ... So it’s condemned , ❞ He pauses & glances to the stranger. ❝ You work for demolition construction or is it uh , something like personal business – I won’t say shit if you won’t type of thing? ❞

barry looks straight ahead after exiting the building – realizing there’d been someone else there the entire time. Shit. He tossed the gun when it was all over. He killed everyone. He cleared an entire building because he was so hellbent on getting to Fauches. He was in a dark place , where he lost his mind , unable to take notice on his surroundings before it was too late. This was who he tried to change – but this was exactly who Barry was supposed to be. It seemed suspicious – this man – wasn’t that how everyone saw him too? There was a split second of thought to just run. By doing that is easy confirmation , a verbal confession. Barry stands there , the boiling anger still lingering just a bit. ❝ Hey! ❞ He crosses the street , making no point to check for cars. ❝ Are you working for them? ❞ The paranoia is deep - seated , he has half the mind to knock this guy out & just run.
@jigscw – s t a r t e r !
