I ▹ THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT
[ Having vast experience with dealing with some of the deadliest (if supposedly extinct) animals who walked the Earth has proven to be pretty helpful at his new job. Most of the animals at the zoo are pretty tame by comparison, but still Owen's not so stupid that he'll underestimate any of them— even the supposedly friendlier and more harmless ones.
He gets to work with various animals here, so it'll be easy to run into him doing a myriad of tasks, whether it's mucking up enclosures or feeding animals. He has a little more in-depth interaction with some of the animals, such as the ostrich-looking birds, tall and bulky, with long strong legs that could probably kill a guy with a well-aimed kick. Or at least break a lot of bones.
They don't seem intent on attacking Owen, but seem to be very interested in the bag of treats he's carrying, following him around the enclosure and trying to poke their big beaks into the bag. Owen doesn't seem particularly scared, swatting a hand at their heads as he pulls the bag away. ] Hey! Don't be an asshole. There's plenty for everyone.
[ Or, for a more exciting experience, come by the reptile area and see him attempting to help the alligators as they suffer through the intense heat during hotter days. He's pretty sweaty himself, shirt sticking to his back and all, but he doesn't seem to be too worried about that. The alligators barely seem interested in moving, but Owen tries to goad them into eating some meat, throwing large pieces at them, hosing them down with cool water even as they lay down in the shade. Big jaws there, and big teeth too, but Owen isn't overly concerned even when they open their mouths in his general direction. It's too hot, and he'd put up too much of a fight. Not worth the trouble. ]

II ▹ MAN IN THE WILDERNESS
[ Other than the zoo, it's beyond the walls that Owen spends most of his time. He likes it out here a lot, despite the various warnings of the dangers. He's taken Loki's offer a number of times and has been spending some nights at his cavern near a creek, which is where he goes to bathe. He might be in the wild but that's no excuse to stink up the place.
But other than that, he spends a lot of time exploring the forest, walking along the river, climbing up trees here and there to get a better view. He's excited to meet any wild creature out here, whether or not they're supposedly dangerous, and he also trudges through the forest collecting various small lizards, all perched up on his shoulders or tucked into his pockets. He's making friends, okay. ]

III ▹ WILDCARD
[ Despite enjoying the wilderness most of all, he doesn't turn into a complete hermit either. He can be found around the Quarantine often, whether he's looking for supplies for camping or for the animals at the zoo, or a place to have a nice cold drink. He also needs some new clothes so he'll be looking into that— light and comfortable pieces he can wear while out in the wild, preferably.
He also still has his room in communal housing, and he stays there sometimes too, so he's not exactly a complete stranger to the other residents there, nor is he the unsociable and unfriendly type. He likes having his own space, but he also enjoys good company at times. ]

[ All that sounds straight out of comic books
you have no idea, Owen, but it's another reminder. Everyone here comes from their own world, their own different place. Some only slightly, others completely different. It's what throws him for a loop more often than not. ]Is that the outcome I should be expecting? Because I'm telling you, if I put in the effort of building another cabin from scratch only for it to get blown up by some crazy aliens, I'm gonna be pissed.

it's pretty great. sometimes a little too quiet, but billy's getting used to it by now. he's been here for a while, after all. long enough to get used to the lack of noise, not long enough to be completely comfortable with it. )
I mean, that might happen. If any more crazed guys from my reality show up, I wouldn't discount it. Or some other crazies, who knows? There are plenty with world-conquering Kree and Skrull, or Thanos, oor wars. Or both. Maybe all of them above. ( with a shrug of his shoulders. ) Or this moon could remain as peaceful as it has been with. . some cultists gangs and weirdos but a manageable level of it, instead of universe-destroying stuff.

[ He can't talk much. He's had some pretty crazy experiences himself— but this guy's stories seem to be a whole new level of insane. He can hardly imagine it. ]
I'll take fairly peaceful for now. Can't do much more than hope for the best, I guess. [ Hands on his hips, he nods at him. ] I'm Owen, by the way. You?

Welcome to Wonderland?
( this guy's definitely newish even if he's not new-new. billy hasn't seen him around much, so. and he--gets around some. like he's seen weirder peter quill but that's another story entirely. face twins aren't new, and they're not--exactly the same. )

[ He takes the hand and gives it a firm shake, not thinking twice about the name. Surely there are a lot of Bills here, right? Right. ]
It's not that bad. Not too different from a place I was at before, either. [ Although the walls were built around the dinosaurs, not the people. This way is probably safer. ] The magic might be the weirdest thing for me to get used to here.
