[ A goldfish, huh? Blake makes a face and nods as he catches that ball. ]

Cop. Uh, formerly. Non-profit work since then.

[ More ball-tossing. ]

Who's Hazel? The one you mentioned before.

[iguanasolution]

[He was still processing the ex-cop thing when the ball is tossed at him. A cop, and he can't get o back home? They really stand no chance at all.

But then he actually hears the question, and he can't help the way he blushes. Or does he? Having sensible skin has its advantages and it's hard to tell if he's blushing or it's just the red of being too long under the sun.]

My girlfriend. She's- she was brought here with me, we got here together.

[oversight]

[ Oh, Frank. Wait until you hear that Iron Man and Captain America can't make their way home and then you'll really wonder about everyone's chances. ]

Yeah? Dunno whether to congratulate you, or give you my sympathy.

You two settlin' okay? Okay as can be, I mean...

[iguanasolution]

It's fine, it's actually nice having her here. A friend of mine said I can't even tie my shoelaces without her around- and this place is seriously really nice compared to home.

What about you? Got someone from home here?

[oversight]

Nope, not a soul. Used to have a friend, but she up and vanished a while back.

[ Briefly, Blake considers fessing up to the fact that there's a movie where he could easily point out her face, but decides to avoid the whole "possibly-fictional" conversation. ]

You like sports? Got any favorite teams?

[iguanasolution]

[Frank hasn't been in a cinema for months, and he's also technically from before the movie aired. Blake has nothing to fear for.]

Not really, where I'm from we don't follow them much. The only sport I've ever really liked was Archery and- well, does capture the flag count? [He says with a laugh. It's the safest way to mention the 'War Games'.]

How long have you been here?

[oversight]

Nineteen months.

[ It's kneejerk. It seems he's been asked more and more and more lately. ]

But, yeah, capture the flag counts, definitely. I'm a fan. Archery's kinda popular here, too.

How good are you?

[iguanasolution]

You could say I'm a natural at it. [And that's his little way of being modest without actually lying. He doesn't like to brag.]

I can show you one day, if you'd like?

[oversight]

Yeah, man, I think I'd like to see that. Pretty sure I won't be the only one, either.

[ He smirks and tosses the ball off to one side, almost impishly assuring the other man has to chase it a little. ]

Does your girlfriend do anything like that?

[iguanasolution]

I don't think I could do well if I had an audience. [He laughs, he doesn't seem to mind chasing the ball. This is fun actually.]

No, she doesn't. Hazel's better at fighting while on top of a horse. What's the weirdest thing that you remember happening here?

[oversight]

[ Blake gets the audience thing. Everything's always that much harder with an audience, no doubt. It's only been in the last couple of years that he's felt any bit comfortable around people, save for a couple teenage years where he just didn't care what anyone thought. ]

Here? [ He laughs, but only because he knows he'll have trouble choosing just one. ] Maybe the time we were all dreamin' each other's dreams. That was pretty fucked up.

You good at dealin' with stuff like that? Disaster, bein' in a pinch, an' so on?

[iguanasolution]

Dreaming each other's dreams?

[That's- well, 'fucked up' describes it just fine. And actually a little bit scary. He hasn't really heard his father's voice in his head in a while so the weird prophetic demigod dreams have kind of stopped, but he'd still not wish his dreams on anyone.]

Wow. But- uh, yeah I think I am. I mean, this place sounds weird but it's the kind of weird you can get used to I think?

[oversight]

Yeah, no doubt you will if you're here long enough.

[ And if he's not, then all the better, right? Sometimes Blake has a hard time letting go, but generally speaking, home's where everyone else wants to be, even if he isn't quite on board with that just yet. ]

Waffles or pancakes?
