what: General catch-all. If you want something specific, let me know and I'll get on it!

Floor 5; any date
[While the floor is undoubtedly the craziest thing he's ever lived through, he's settled in pretty well. Sometimes, he'll be spotted around the kitchen poking around for food or making coffee, other times he'll be curled up in his bed with a book. Other times, he'll join his floormates for some company.
And sometimes, when it's too late and he can't sleep, he'll try to, as quietly as he can, sneak out on the balcony for some fresh air or get outside for a walk.]
guarding; any date
[Being on the perimeter guard certainly gives Billy something t (616): bucky barneso do, and helps. Being a hero is something that he can never escape from, it seems, even if it feels like sometimes... it might be easier. Still, nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment that comes with keeping someone safe or defending against any unruly monsters. He'll be glad to give anyone a hand if they need it with either a bit of lightning or magically summoned shields or enhancements. He can try to heal minor wounds in others, or put beasts to sleep with a word.]
gym; any date
[Billy isn't particularly fond of working out, but it's part of the whole superhero gig, and he's been taking it even more seriously lately. Keeping himself strong and ready, just in case his magic ever doesn't save him is kind of a good idea. He might ask people to spot him, he might even be convinced to spar although physical fighting isn't really his strongest suit. He's definitely up for some pointers though.]
shopping; any date
[Shopping is something Billy is definitely into. Books, clothes, any sort of geeky items he can find. You name it, he'll eat it up. He might also be scouring for items related to magic, something to help further his training a little bit. It's the best use of his time here, he figures, minus working his way to getting back home.]
fireflies; any date
[Being on the perimeter guard means that Billy is relatively busy. It doesn't leave him much room to stay huddled indoors away from insects. Bites are a thing that can and will happen.
Red: Billy has a short temper under normal circumstances, so under the influence of strange bug bites? He's likely to be driven towards it more than lust. He's got a sharp tongue when angered, he can get downright nasty, and he's not above throwing punches if pushed too far. Worse yet, he has a tendency to crackle with energy when he's particularly pushed too far. Get too close, you might get a shock.
Orange: Billy is generally a rather honest individual. He'll tell it like it is because he firmly believes there's no sense in hiding yourself. The only thing he's particularly guarded about tends to be his mental state, what worries hound him. Sometimes, he fears he'll be a failure, or that he'll end up like his mother and lose it, rewrite reality in some unforgivable way or pose a danger to others. Sometimes he's afraid he'll lose control, and that's not good for a guy destined to be a deity who rewrites the laws of magic. He doesn't speak of his depression or the darker tendencies that come with it. He doesn't really talk about how much he misses his family or his boyfriend or his team back home. He'll be more open to sharing under the influence.
Yellow: He's used to anxiety and fear. He'll be more guarded, wary of everything around him. He'll be even more defensive and sarcastic than usual in an attempt to hide it.
Green: He'll be envious of those that seem to have more control over themselves, more confidence in their abilities than he feels like he'll ever be able to.
Blue: Grief is something he's always used to. He's lost friends, he's been tortured, he's been put in prison. He's messed up in huge ways-- lost control of his powers and put half of downtown in a coma. He's invaded a country single-handedly and ignited a conflict that cost the lives of two of his friends and sent one spiraling into the villainy he'd been trying to escape. He's been sent to a prison for those with super powers, cuffed and gagged. He's been tortured. He's brought a parasite over that nearly destroyed the world that he just barely defeated. Even the Avengers thought of him as a threat at one point. On top of all that? He's also learned that his destiny is to rewrite the rules of magic, to become a god. It feels crushingly heavy at times. Billy is less likely to have an outburst, though. He's less likely to talk or to shave, or to be able to even will himself out of bed though.]
Violet firefly; locked to Loki
[Billy's affection comes with softer looks, more genuine smiles. It comes with lingering touches than he typically ever gives. It's not something he generally shares with just anybody, if he's being honest. With the influence of the bite though? It's coming out full force, and he doesn't even really realize it. He's out one day enjoying a day off, a cup of coffee in one hand, and no particular plan in mind beyond finding something fun to do. Finding a way to relax and de-stress, that's all.
when he sees Loki though, he gives a quick wave with his free hand, motioning him over. If there's a sudden wash of warmth and expression at the sight of him, Billy ignores it easily enough for now.]
Hey-- are you free today?

no subject
[He gives a nod at that.]
Sure. I'll keep an eye out when I'm on guard duty too. You can come across some interesting stuff, right?
no subject
[ And that tugs a grin right out of her. ]
There seems to be no shortage of interesting things to be found here. Some of it even looks familiar! I'd call it strange, but if the portal really pulls people from all sorts of realities, I suppose they might bring all sorts of things with them.
[ Seeds, certainly, and who knows what else? There does seem to be a wide variety of animal life about the place, too. ]
no subject
[And things that hadn't been exactly real in his world like the pokemon-like creatures running around, but... that's a little stranger to explain.]
It's fun to keep an eye out for all the similarities, but it's also really interesting to pick out all the differences too, right? Like-- I've seen a lot of fruit and just... food in general that I've never even dreamed of.
no subject
[ One she's been quite glad to be upon when she has been for the most part. The variety of it never fails to astound her with all sorts of appearances, tastes, and textures. ]
What about animals? Have you seen anything different than what you're familiar with?
no subject
[One of his roommates has one as a steed, actually...]
How about you?
no subject
[ It doesn't disturb her, really. Hunting them has provided some new challenges in some cases and challenges are always welcome. Beyond that, they've been similar enough for her to make heads and tails of what to do with what and provide for her floor. ]
I did see something odd, though, when I was gathering some ingredients. A blue creature with a bulb on its back... I hadn't seen anything like that before.
no subject
[Okay, so... that sounds maybe a little familiar.]
Did it-- make any noises or anything?
no subject
[ And she may sound a little disappointed. She was curious, of course, and it had had an odd charm about it, nevermind that she still wants to touch it and talk to it perhaps. It had seemed intelligent. ]
no subject
[He lets out a laugh, a little bit excited despite himself.]
That's one of the things I was talking about! I think anyway. I mean, in my world, they're called Pokemon and they're... [Well, not real, but--] really hard to catch, yeah.
