Olympic Fever

What the hell was the name of that Olympic mascot a while back... the Atlanta one where they couldn't decide on anything and just basically puked on a concept drawing and called it a - Whatzit? Was that it?

The Flash, in full regalia, has been conserving his energy for the last hour or so as the set-up for the endurance run. But now, he's in the starting area, drinking some water, pondering a 30-second power nap, even. Cracking his knuckles in anticipation of who his opponent might be.

Looking around to the crowd, feeling a mild bit of butterfly-stomach. Fastest Man Alive, c'mon. What's to worry about?

Why... are those people getting naked over there?

"You are competing in the traditional Olympic style, runner. I will tolerate a mask, but remove other clothing. After all, you do not wish any encumberance."

Donna looks at Wally with sympathy. "Missed the memo, huh?"

[info]fleet_feet

August 17 2005, 10:22:49 UTC 6 years ago

...

"Yes. I missed that particular memo. Rassum frassum brain spores frazzum."

He immediately looks around to see if Jesse's gawking at him from anywhere.

"It's not an encumberance... it's a counteract-the-floppy..." he starts, weakly, before sighing, rubbing his eyes.

Yeah, he'll need the mask.

Up in the crowd... Plastic Man just blinks. Unsure if he heard what he just heard...

But when Jesse starts taking off her shoes... his eyes widen, and and his lips starts a-quivering.

"Ooh... wh-h-hoa... hhhh...hhhhhuh...."

Then he shakes out of the stupor. "Now how 'bout that? You do a good deed, show up to support your friends, and you get to see the hot babes naked as a reward!"

His hands launch triumphantly into the air - FAR into the air.

"THE SYSTEM WORKS!"

Starfire notices the speedster's discomfort. "You have nothing to be ashamed of," she says reassuringly. "You are beautiful, and anyone who tries to touch you will learn their lesson from me."

Donna notices Jesse's confusion and embarressment. Time for a tactical manuvuer. She smiles at her, then turns to the stands and does something the titans bet that they would never see in a million years.

She flips the bird at Plastic Man.

She then turns back to Jesse, hoping the stun effect worked. "Better?"

Seeing her discomfort, Gar rests a supportive arm on her shoulder briefly, before moving to the side, his own familiar purple and white uniform peeling off his green skin, speaking sotto voce.

"Well this is as cozy as streaking a party sans a digested twelve pack..."

The hooting from the sleazy-looking guy in red is loud enough to be heard over on this end of the stadium. Aurora decides she doesn't like the guy.

Too bad the "outside" world ties nudity in with sex so much. Geez, people, it's the human body... *looks at Starfire* Well, human and whatever she is. Still, she's beautiful- like a sculpture I saw at the modern art museum.

She makes it a point to smile at them and send reassuring vibes their direction. They kinda need it right now.

Tempest is sitting near the others as they prepare for battle. He has created several ice blocks that he has positioned over various bruises and his broken nose.

"Its true that Hades is using it against you. Maybe that's why he didn't care that I wore my costume. He knew how little it mattered to me. That and he gave a suit to Achilles too.

"I'll tell you what, I'll help you all out a little bit."

Tempest points the Trident at the stands and every recording device is instantly hit with a magical electric charge which fries its circuitry, exposes film etc. It also fries a few communicators, and cell phones incidently, but not all of them. Of course he can't do anything about those lantern rings.

"Now you don't have to worry about the crowd. Focus on what you are here for and not with your bodies. None of the Titans have anything to be embarrassed about. Not even Roy if you can believe that. Hades may try to throw some curves at you like he did me. Be prepared for anything and focus. Don't break whatever rules they set for you. We don't want anyone disqualified. Be good. Be strong."

Tempest's voice changes from strong to lighthearted. Besides, if this sort of thing turns you on, there is always that other Greek tradition to honor later at the Tower." To the quizical looks he laughs, "The victory orgy!" He roars in laughter, happy to break the tension a bit.

And yet somehow Garth's laughing reassurance doesn't make Jesse smile too much. She just stares at the ground. If she were a part of Superman's brood, her heat vision would have burned a hole clean through the planet by now.

Donna hears that. Involuntarily, her eyes wander to Roy - who's getting out of his clothes. She quickly rips her eyes back away, shutting them tight for a moment.

Eros above on Olympus...

She realizes there's a very large gap in her memory that Flash would have been in no position to help restore.

All I have are impressions as to what I may or may not have done with that man, and this is a very bad time to think about that. Give me a chance to find out when this is over at the very least, please...

As Plaz's big telephoto badass zoom lens-eriffic camera shorts out and explodes in his hand, he gets annoyed.

"HEY, FISH STICKS! THEY WERE GONNA ALL BE TASTEFUL ARTY FARTY SHOTS, YA BASTARD!"

If you'd mentioned, I could have done that without the blowing stuff up, Garth.

Vic is kicking himself mentally for not thinking of it.

He's "unclothed", too, at this point, his sweat suit folded on a bench. But really, for him, that doesn't mean much.

Held in his hand as Garth's electrical charge flies up, hitting Gar's IPod, music used to kill time while heading here to compete, but AUDIO recording function also included, fizzle-flash explodes inside its own casing.

"ARGH! My GIGAbytes of MP3s!"

Faster than any normal person could see - except for Wally and maybe Jesse - a red-suited figure zips up to Wally, chuckles a bit at the hip movement, and in a nanosecond speaks -

You can take this poser, Wally.

And after that nanosecond ticks off, he's gone. Barry doesn't want Hades accusing him of interfering.

[info]fleet_feet

August 17 2005, 13:16:39 UTC 6 years ago

Wally's a bit distracted keeping his eyes focused, and taking occasionally little speed jogs to get his bearings around running naked, altering himself a little bit, figuring out ways to minimize the floppy... and then... whoa.

He just blinks a bit, processing what he just saw... then smiles.

That's right, Barry. I'll take whoever they throw at me.

Wally's now at the starting line, bracing himself for the endurance race, stretching out and making a point NOT to look around for Jesse to avoid any more discomfort than he's already gonna have this way, wearing the mask to create the mental illusion that he's got clothes on. Trying to ignore the fact that he doesn't.

His eyes look around for a sign of who he's going to be racing against.

::Light shones from the heavens. Then the beam of blinding warmth split, as if one of the wandering clouds were a prism. Green, red, blue, yellow and finally, indigo. a winged woman of incredible beauty and grace steps out. Her hair styled in a formal bun and headress. She stretches the wings on her back, then puts the scroll and pitcher she was carrying down by her feet. She unpins her dress, but the aura she carries blinds her more sensitive assets. She walks as if floating and extends a hand.::

"You are the Flash? I am Iris."

[info]fleet_feet

August 17 2005, 22:13:19 UTC 6 years ago

Wally's eyes widen at the arrival of this woman... and even needing to shift his standing position slightly for a moment before he gets a handle on himself.

"Um. Yeah. The Flash. Nice to meet you, Iris," he response, shaking her hand. "Uh... this is a FOOT race, right? You don't get to use those wings, do you?"

Gar sing-rhymes in the crowd while dancing to an imagined beat to keep morale high:

"The Flash did the dash, for a lot more than mere CASH!"

He lets out a whoop of a cheer, applauding Ol' Fleet Feet.
