Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp has come by Big Belly Burger for some food. While a lot of places her gets his share and more of looks, but here it is not quite as bad. Yes a person who is new here or who does not come by often may stare a moment, but the staff have gotten used to the Chimp. He walks in puts in his order for a couple burgers, a large fry, and a Glass of ice water and a small glass of ice. Once he gets his food he moves to a table where he can see the door to have a seat.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake enters. He's traded his usual leathers for a thing raincoat with a hood. The hood is up. H has shaded on. This is not an odd look for Gotham. Mark Twain wrote the wettest nastiest day he ever spent was a sunny day in Gotham. Blake orders a large order of nuggets and onion rings and manages to order items at the ready and takes his order to a chair and sees Detective Chimp.

He does a double take. He has dealt with demons, fairies, fox spirits and show business executives but e lived in Africa and chimpanzees are a serious concern there. Especially full grown ones. So he looks about for a handler, then notes the hat. A stunt.

"How ya doing, fellow? I loved living in Africa." He starts eating an onion ring. No hidden camera show idiots are making a monkey out of him.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over to the man a brow raises. He sighs a bit at the look but then when he starts to talk to him, he will look at him, and says "Aint been to Africa in a good many years." He admits. He pulls a flask from his pocket and starts pouring an amber liquid into the small cup. "And yes, I am real, and not animatronic or anything like that." He reassures the man, and takes a bit of his burger.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake starts choking on the onion ring. He's only human. He can make mistakes. He regains his composure and says, "Sorry. I should know better. Not my first time around the block. I man I'm dating a fairy. I should have an open mind. I can deal with an intelligent chimpanzee better than some humans. I won't disturb you further..." Won't disturb him? Thomas is Catman and cats are curious creatures. But he gets back to his lunch. Pity he made a crappy impression on the chimp.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over to the man and says "No big thing, it is something I am a bit used to." He offers after taking a sip from the cup. He raises a brow a bit wondering something himself, and says "A fairy? I take it she is not tinkerbell sizes." He offers

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake chuckles. "She's 5' 3" and I pity the person who calls her short. My girlfriend before that was a demon, in every way possible. I traded up. I'm not sure how fairy stuff functions yet. I can't imagine how dumb people must be with you. I've had them try to hug my tiger on meeting him, saying what a good kitty he is. He really isn't, e just under control around me. People don't understand your average wild creatures, let alone one who talks. My name is Thomas. Are you going to an opera or something?"

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp 's brow raises a bit again as the man mentions having a tiger he studies him a moment, and nods his head as he may have a clue who he is, but for now, keeps it to himself, and says "Well, not to bad if I explain to them if they keep annoying me I will bite their noses off, but it can be a pain at times." Then he says "Going to an opera?" He asks curious why he asked that.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gestures with an onion ring, "The deerstalker, the great coat. Either you're heading for an opera, a comic convention or you're Sherlock Holmes. Am I getting close?" He notes the raised brow. "Biting noses off, yeah that sounds about right. You guys are way stronger, faster and more durable than a normal human. Plus you fight dirty. It's obvious we're related."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over to Thomas and says "I try not to get violet unless I have to." He admits. "So, if I may ask, what brings you to this neck of the woods, thinking about a lair in the circus area? It has been played out a bit by others." He tells him.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake ponders the odd question a moment then ahs. "So detective. Well, I've no need for a lair. I work as an actor on a cable show and live a quiet life. I never liked the circus. Way too cruel to animals. My lair was under my mansion. I treated my cats pretty well. And Joker makes staking out a circus or amusement park. Soooo what now?"

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks to the other man and says "We eat our food, and you give me information so I can come talk to your cats and make sure they are well and happy. If your not causing problems, I see no reason to cause problems for you." He tells the other as he finishes his food.
