This is DIFFERENT.

It's the type of hunger that turns people INSIDE OUT and UPSIDE DOWN.

It's the John McClane of hunger, and I think it's going to last for two long painfully hungry weeks instead of one.

[ see barry allen: he's watched ocean's eleven enough to have learned nothing at all on how to gamble, though he's pretty sure he could pull off robbing a casino now. but he sure does know how to raise the stakes dramatically. ]

there's a type of hunger that does that?

[ iris would love to know how your mind works sometimes, bartholomew. don't think she hasn't noticed that he's being terrible at this gambling thing. she could continue upping the stakes while barry pitifully attempts to meet her halfway, or— ]

Race you to the dining room.

[ she's sort of cheating since she'd already been moving toward it when they began talking about food. she is, in fact, already stepping inside of it right about ....

now. ]

[ she'll find barry's already there. feet propped up on the table in a demonstration of very poor manners that'd inspire mr higgins into a fit, he's stuffing his face with food. tipping his head back, he's feeding himself grapes. all that's missing is a gigantic palm fanning him. ]

[ when he opens his mouth, nothing sensible comes out. what he's meant to say: you're late. what it ends up sounding like: sjdkfls. but he does manage to clearly say: ] Iris!

[ and waves his hand before he flicks his wrist and a grape flies into the air, forms a smooth arc, and lands in his mouth. ]

[ of course, barry almost falls out of his chair trying to catch it. ]

[ iris snorts, a fondness to the sound, as always.

if they were twelve, she'd all but point and laugh. as it is, she plops down on the chair beside him, grabs one of those luscious grapes, tosses it high, high into the air, and catches it like a boss. then she leans back satisfied. ]

Barry!

[ en garde. ]

[ in a high-pitched and excited voice, he mocks her kindly, ] Iris!

[ he rests his feet on the ground and grabs a muffin quite quickly, shoving that in his mouth with the speed of the flash. he taps the table in a beckoning of her before he even manages to chew and swallow. ]

[ and he throws a random grape at her. whether or not his aim is accurate, or the arc of the grape goes anywhere near her — it's up to iris to decide if she's skilled enough to try and catch it, or if barry allen simply sucks at spontaneously throwing grapes. ]

Hey.

[ i rolled the dice for this btw. iris caught it well enough, narrowly missing her mark. once the sneaky grape has made its way into her palm, she tosses it into the air too, and lets it sink into her mouth, head tipped back. victorious and smug, she lets herself fall back on her chair again. ]

Have you eaten actual food since we got here, or have you been subsisting on cupcakes and muffins alone?

[ he rambles on at a flash-like pace, ] I had a pizza and pasta and a burger — You know they don't have Belly Burgers here? — and something that was really spicy, and I had this whole buffet the other night …

[ barry finishes his muffin, then grabs the nearest glass and drains it. he isn't necessarily an uncontrollable eater. he paces himself quite well at home, but there's something about wonderland that makes him as excitable as a boy — except one who's hooked to the speed force and its abundant amount of restless energy. ]

[ finally settling into his chair, he gives her a sheepish shrug. ]

Sometimes I get bored. And it's a good distraction.
