Don't Work Sundays [Flash]

[vanisher]

ooc: Haha it's cool. Iago is finally going to awaken.

bic: Flash watched as the other's face turned bright red. He frowned. He didn't mean for the other to feel embarassed. "Oh, hey it's okay. It's not that big of a deal," Flash told him reassuringly. "I mean at least you've heard of the movie," Flash added as an after thought. "Because if you didn't that would just be sad. So...besides 101 Dalmations, what's your favorite movie? I myself have always been a Matrix fan," Flash asked, revealing one of his favorite non-Disney movies.

After Flash went on negatively about his character, he sort of snorted at Rodney's statement. "That is an understatement for how I feel for such a dishonest character," Flash said, arms firmly crossed. 'Hey, hey, you're not Robin Hood yourself pal,' a strange, yet familiar voice said. Flash's eye twitched. He just stared at Rodney, wondering if he said it. "Um, I'm sorry, did you say something?" Flash asked, paranoid. The voice just laughed, clearly amused. 'Look genius it was me not the cat,' the voice retorted sarcastically. Flash's face went white. "That's what I was afraid of," Flash mumbled aloud. 'Hey genius I hate to break it to you 'ole wonderful host, but you are talking to me aloud! So cat boy there can hear you,' the voice, filled with sarcasm informed him. "Will you get out of here already!" Flash once more said aloud. 'You're still doing it,' the voice said. 'By the way, I think you know who I am,' the voice went on to say much to Flash's irritation. 'Yeah no kidding. You're that annoying good for nothing parrot!' Flash thought back. 'Hey, I find that offending,' Iago said back. 'And whether you like it or not, you're my host for a reason,' Iago went on. 'Don't say it,' Flash warned.

Flash returned his attention to Rodney, already the bird distracted him. It was his turn to blush. "Uh, I'm sorry, what was it you were saying? Something about unlocking characters is important. Yeah, I get that and yes they are...trying to teach me how to unlock my...ahem character at Harmony, but it's like I said before, not something I really want," he said with a forced smile on his face, acting like that conversation he just had with Iago didn't happen. Sighing he then told Rodney, "oh please don't say things like that. It's not exactly helping reminding me that my spirit is a bird and your spirit is a cat, not really helping me here."

Then as Rodney went on, Flash could hear the parrot snickering inside his head, which caused Flash's eye to twitch. 'You know something, I am beginning to like this cat,' Iago declared. 'He really seems to understand me unlike some people I know.' Flash just grumbled. 'You would.' 'Hey, all I'm saying is the cat's got a point. Why don't you think of something a little more positive about me?' Annoyed, Flash just groaned. 'How about no?' 'Wow, you're as sarcastic as I am,' Iago said, surprised. 'So? Doesn't mean anything. You're still a suck up to the villains,' Flash told him. 'Really? You think that? No, by the moons, it's not really true. Kid, you need to stop seeing things in black and white,' Iago started causing Flash to frown. 'What do you mean?' 'Well, I only helped Jafar out because I felt like I owed him one. He's the one who found me at this bazzar. Anyway, he bought me and took me in. He's the one who taught me real, actual English not just parrotspeak. You know the type, the one where parrots just repeat what they hear. They have no understanding, but Jafar taught me that amongst other things...' The parrot explained. 'Like?' Flash asked, wanting Iago to go on. 'Well, he's the one who introduced me to magic stuff. And ever since then him and me been partners, always searching for magical artifacts.' Flash nodded. 'I see... Well, that explains a lot.' 'Really? Does that mean you understand me a little more now?' Iago asked, hopeful. 'Eh maybe, just a little, so don't get your hopes too high. I still don't like you,' Flash informed the parrot.

Flash looked back at Rodney, knowing he must have looked pretty strange just standing there not saying a word for the past ten minutes. "Ah, Rodney about the motivation... Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind," Flash told him with a smile.

Flash caught onto his embarrassment pretty quickly, once again, which made Tibbs shake his head at how terrible he was at hiding what he was feeling. That only shows a bit of honesty, sir. Nothing to be ashamed of. 'I know, but it's also such a childish trait. I thought I'd have grown passed it by the time I reached my 30's' Some things are there for a reason, sir. The cat said before Rodney began listening to what Flash was asking him. His favorite movie? That was something he had to think back to, actually. When he was younger, he still had that, at the time incredibly nerdy, trait of being more responsible then he needed to be. Because of that, even as a kid he was often busy and didn't have a lot of time to go see films and play games and such. He tried to remember the first movie he went to, and it popped up pretty easily, though it was so long ago. He'd only been about five when it came out, but he still felt like it was a favorite to him. "Oh, um, it was Ghostbusters actually, I think that was the first semi-recent movie I'd seen as a kid, so it stood out. I was always so busy doing other things to watch movies when I was younger, catching up on them seems like a lost cause." That was probably more explanation then needed.

Sometime during the conversation, Flash seemed to start and asked him if he said anything. He hadn't said anything at the time, so his first response was, "What? No...?" The Tibbs host watched as the young man seemed to have a short one-sided argument with himself, which Rodney, of course had seen before. His first instinct was to say, "Flash, are you alright?" But backtracked a bit when Flash brought up what he'd just said about being a cat and him being a bird. He chuckled awkwardly at that, mostly just feeling strange about saying it now, "Sorr-ahh, well... it was a bad attempt at humour again, I'm afraid." He said, almost apologizing but stopping half way and instead went for an apologetic statement instead. It was close enough.

I think his spirit just awakened, sir. 'Yeah... yeah I think so too.' He seems to be having a hard time about it. Can we do anything, sir? Rodney paused in his thoughts as he watched Flash seem to go through an internal struggle, something they probably all had to do at least once. 'I don't know, I don't think so. He'll have to figure that part out on his own, I suppose.' He thought, feeling a bit bad that he couldn't assist any further, Sgt. Tibbs, he could tell, felt the same way.

The internal debate between Flash, and who Rodney assumed was Iago ended quicker then he thought, as the younger man's attention snapped back to him, which made Rodney reflexively jump to attention - something he realized quickly and just as swiftly moved out of. Flash thanked him for his advice, which made Rodeny wonder if he'd just seen it being used. "I'm honestly just glad I could help." He smiled back at the young man, before tabbing his own forehead. "That gets easier, you know, so don't worry."

ooc: Lol, glad you enjoyed it. Figured it would be funny to put.

bic: After Tibbs revealed his favorite non-Disney movie, Flash nodded. He knew the movie well. It happened to be one of his favorite comedies. "Yeah, it's a classic. Good choice," Flash told him.

Just after he awakened Iago, Rodney asked if he was alright to which Flash merely nodded in reply. "Um, yeah, I'm...fine. I just thought I heard voices is all, which is ridiculous since we are the only two people here," he said. Inside his head, Iago was snickering at him, mocking him. 'Not very honest, are you?' Flash only groaned. 'Yeah, well no one asked you,' Flash retorted. Iago just laughed. 'What's so funny?' Flash demanded. 'Nothing just I think you are an even bigger liar than me,' Iago said a matter of factly. Flash smirked. 'Don't make me laugh. You're the one who is king of deceit.'

'Oh yeah well name me one time you told the truth,' Iago challenged. Flash stood there quietly thinking for several long moments. 'Uh well there was this one time... No, no I told him space aliens did it, but being a comic book geek he believed it... Oh, I know how about...now!' Flash told Iago, determined to prove the parrot wrong. Iago didn't even get a chance to ask Flash what he meant by that for the latter turned to Rodney. "Oh who am I kidding Rod? My character just...woke up and I don't know how to deal with it. You just gotta help me, please," Flash admitted, looking back at Rodney pleadingly. "Like just tell me what to do and how to control Iago? Is there like an on/off switch or...?" Flash asked, looking serious. Despite his admission to finally unlocking his character, Rodney seemed to already have figured it out. Embarassed he blushed. "Heh, am I that obvious?" He asked, referring to the fact he awoke his character.
