Who: Phillip, Toushirou, and an open prompt for ANYONE!
What: Phillip's best method of getting CR: dog walking
Where: Gateway, in the park or just around where it might be a good place for dogs.
When: September 30th

1. OPEN

It's a nice day out- the sun is shining, the air is crisp, there are no killer dinosaurs on the loose... seems like a good opportunity for dog walking!

Which is exactly what Phillip's doing. Gloria the golden retriever got moved with the familiar from Locke to Gateway (because like Phillip was going to agree to leave her behind), and though she's beginning to slow down a bit she still loves walks. And combining the fact that she's not as fast as she used to be and that Phillip's gotten bigger, she doesn't drag him through the park so much anymore.

However, both she and Phillip are very friendly towards people, so when she strains towards someone (possibly you) wanting attention, Phillip will comply if it looks ok. "Hello! Sorry, she's really friendly sometimes..."

2. closed to Toushirou

Towards the end of the walk, Phillip heads towards their final destination- not his home, but the home of one Toushirou Hitsugaya. Who might pretend to be cranky about a great number of things, including Phillip and his dog, but Phillip knows better at this point. He climbs up the apartment stairs with the very enthusiastic golden retriever (she knows where they are), only stopping when he reaches the door to knocks.

"Ooh, you're an actor! How cool! Do you want to do movies? What would you star in? What's your favourite role? Did you ever do Oliver Twist - 'Please sir, I want some more~' Does Gloria play soccer with you? I bet she has lots of fun chasing the ball! Does she score any goals? I bet she's smart enough to keep score!

"I like to explore, play video games, and visit the soda shop~! There's so many odd places around here that no one seems to really pay attention to. They're really neat! It's kind of like sidequesting in a video game, so I guess that's why I like it so much! I would like to be a hero like in the games, though. Wouldn't it be cool? And all those secret places would lead to secret tunnels that have an awesome artifact. And then get rewarded with an awesome soda flavour!" He cheers, pumping his fist into the air.

There are so many words. "Um...! I don't, it would be cool to try. I was Tobias in Sweeney Todd once and that was fun. Gloria like soccer too! Or, well, she likes to chase the ball, she doesn't really know the rules." He might have missed a couple of questions in there, but... he tried.

"I like video games too! What kinds do you like?" Admittedly, Phillip doesn't play a lot of video games since his other hobbies take considerably more time, but.

"I really like the ones with heroes." Blaise smiles, his answer a little more tame. "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a hero, just like that. Someone everyone can look up to, who always fights the bad guys and does good things. So playing all sorts of heroic video games feels good."

He laughs a little bit, thinking about what kind of heroism he did get.

"The ones that have you make choices are harder. It can be so easy to think you're picking the right one, but end up having it be a wrong move further down in the game."

The bit about wanting to be a hero actually concerns Phillip a little bit. He... knew someone like that, and things got out of hand with Luke very, very quickly. "Oh, yeah, those are hard. I haven't played a lot, but some of my friends like this." Though, some of his school friends pick the bad choices on purpose just to see.

"Yea, but they can be fun if you get lucky with your choices. And... sometimes running into a negative circumstance can be fun too, if it isn't too devastating. I really, really like happy endings, though. So, I usually stick to the games where you only play a good guy."

Blaise gets licked by Gloria and he laughs a little as he gives her more pets. "Where did you get your puppy? I want one. Maybe my parents will let me, especially if it's this sweet."

"Um..." Oh, gosh, Phillip has to think about that. "I dunno, my parents got her when I was... six, maybe? And we were still in Locke, then. I think they got her from a breeder." And who knows if that person would still be doing it now, seven years later and after an alien invasion.
