Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake's a convicted felon. He received a pardon for unnamed services, from a 'grateful' government that could still kick in his door anytime someone stole a cat, or stop and search him at will. Some pardon. However, he could vote, hold political office and own firearms.

Like the 12 gauge slide action shotgun he was cleaning, on his porch. The cat dude is in shorts and little else as the sun begins to dip. The three ragged scars on his chest stand out even in the rosy sunset.

Thomas draws the ramrod from the barrel, removing the cleaning pad and dropping it in a waste basket. He works the action with a ka-chunk, then sets it down in a case.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Oh man is it good to be back home.

Well. Not back HOME home but- Well things have happened and Mike finished his obligations in Ireland and so he has now found himself back in the states. And when he landed and did his check in, Wade graciously suggested Mike stay at the Happy Harbor location to enjoy the view from the owners suite. In Wade speak this means something else. But even after translation, Mike would probably agree to the suggestion.

The flight black was abnormally quiet and on time which led to a good amount of uninterrupted sleep for the musician. This has led to him awake and in need of distraction. So what better distraction than to go check out a friend's new old digs in the area?

It was initially intended as a quick flyover. But, seeing as Thomas was outside, the raven ends up flying down closer to the ground.

"Hey Thomas." The bird greets. There is no effort made to disguise the voice. Because, why would he?

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake picks up a beer and gestures at a cooler. Supervillains are ready for everything... except heroes in the final act. "Mike. Good to have you back. I'd invite you in but, the tiger is loose in there and being hard to find, The locals were trying to snoop around the tiger pit so I let him stay indoors. Also the place is somewhat dissembled. Still moving in." With that, the big man falls silent.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
With the silent invite extended, the bird ends up pitching forward into a tumble roll, form getting larger until the rocker's walking up the final steps to the porch area. Mike looks over to the larger man, flashing him a smile. "It's good to be back too. Not quite home but close enough. I'm staying in Happy Harbor tonight."

Mike steps over to the cooler to retrieve a drink for himself. "How's Rasputin liking the inside of the place?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake says, "The fucker is taking over the bed. He's good. These Happy folks are a weird lot. They're either fans of the show and me -I signed their backs. Or they remember the Blakes' original run here and hate me on sight. I may have a lead on that Kitya girl who went missing though. I worked over a sleaze a little for it. Light weight stuff. But made sure he wasn't going to bother the school kids around here. I guess that Shazam guy was busy."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike chuckles at the mention of Rasputin taking over the bed. The amusement only grows as Thomas acknowledges the advice he had given when regarding fans who insist on autographing something that is currently pressed agains their bodies. No one needs the headache that comes with THAT type of misunderstanding. When talk about the hatred of his family, the smile dies away. "Well... tough shit for them."

The beer is glanced at for a moment before Mike sets a hand upon the cap and removes it. He takes a sip of the beer as he brings up someone who went missing. "...Kitya girl?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake nods. "She a Mutant and a cat girl. She disappeared. I'm trying to find her. Looks like a gang dealing in young Mutant transport. I would have thrown this Gabriel's way but she's, doing her thing. I'm not dealing with the X-Man, then you gotta deal with the Brotherhood and the Human Friends and... I am not getting into that."

"It's okay. I need some random malevolence. I'm starting to get bored. We know what happens when I get bored. I guess acting isn't excitement enough with me. I did make a couple friends. Wade met one -Beroe Kazinski. I'm working on getting her on the show to play ur Harley."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike nods, frowning. "How long ago did the girl disappear? Do you want any help with that?" The mention of Wade meeting Beroe is almost missed on him. Considering the nature of the first thing Thomas said, "Ah... I'm guessing you saw Wade when he ran over to the studio for the scheduling mishap?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake says, "I don't think so. Like I said, I need some random violence and these people are not the sort to surrender gracefully. They are the sort to take hostages and kill hostages. They're the sort not to care if they die to avoid jail. They're the sort, you hope the Punisher gets to them and not Superman. If any get away, I want to make damned sure they don't come back. I won't put that on you, or Terry."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
As the offer for help is turned down with an explanation to why. Mike lifts up a beer, taking a sip. He looks to the can. Frowning. "Thanks. I think we can agree that we don't have to tell each other everything. It's probably better." He glances to the yard.

"Company's nice though..."
