[Okay, so. Billy is never above trying questionable fair food-- it's sort of the point of these kinds of things, right? To his surprise, the bizarre meat actually tastes good, even if some of it's ridiculously spicy. The sweets are pretty tempting too, although he might roll his eyes in amusement when he's told they're potential aphrodisiacs. He doesn't have a need for that, he just wants something sweet.
He's not entirely sure about trying to-- celebrate or have fun at a fair when he's basically trapped here, but... isolating himself isn't something the people back home would want him to do, and at least he's got a lot of fellow Avengers and heroes he recognizes here, right? Even Loki is here. He's not alone, not entirely.
So he tries. If he doesn't work at least a little bit with others, this probbaly isn't going to work. So in an attempt to start a conversation--]
That one-- it's really spicy, just saying.
fair games & shopping;
[Dart games? Yes. He's definitely there. And the virtual reality stuff is pretty neat too. Billy has always liked games, even stupid fair games. He welcomes any competition, or idle conversation about the games. Although he doesn't really have much use for stuffed animals, so those get passed off to anyone who might be interested.
Shopping has also always been a stress relief, so he definitely checks it out. He's a little sad when he sees all the emphasis on romantic gifts-- he misses Teddy. They've gone without seeing each other before, but they've never been literal worlds a part with no way to contact each other. He tries to shrug that off as best he can though, tries to not let himself fall down that particular hole in public.]
I wonder if they've got comics anywhere around here...
adult;
[Okay, so this is a really, really bad idea, but he's 18 and he's never actually even been to an adult store. Or, you know, been able to do much with his boyfriend back home because they both live with his parents and there's a strict no shut doors policy, especially at night. Which is, yeah, lame. But Billy is curious in a way he knows is probably going to be bad, but that's never stopped him from rushing forward anyway. Billy is hard to embarrass, he's hard to make fidgety--
But okay, some of this stuff definitely makes him look away pretty quick, other stuff, he inspects a bit closer.
The aphrodisiacs he definitely stays away from.]
communal floor/roommates;
[He misses his home. He misses his stupid parents and his stupid little brothers sneaking into his room and into his bed despite all grouchy protests otherwise (Protests that never stuck because he actually does care about them more than he says, and if they've had nightmares, he'll be there). He misses the times when his boyfriend would sneak into his room or vice versa.
Sharing living space with so many other people, with his bed right next to Loki's, it's new... and it's an adjustment. Maybe a bit of an embarrassing one at times-- he still has nightmares of prisons and parasites and hell lords at times that leave him sparking with electricity like a ridiculous bug light, or even floating and glowing faintly blue with magic. He hopes he can keep that to a minimum at least.
At least the bed isn't bad, and he'll gladly sink into it to read for a bit, or go poke around in the kitchen for food. He's a young man and he needs sustenance... if only, you know, he knew how to cook. Maybe he ought to apologize to his roommates in advance for any potential kitchen fires or horrid smells when he inevitably fails.]
