[There's a steady quality to Steve's voice, though with enough stress that if you listen for it, you can hear that he's forcing this quality, to hide his discomfort. Every so often, there's the sound of an Espeon making pathetic little noises and a strong purring noise that follows each time, but otherwise there's very little noise for whatelse is happening around the man.]

I've been thinking about what it would be like to have Pokemon in my world, back where and when I came from. How it would change every day life, how it would change sports and movies, how it would change the function of machines, how it would change war. I'm finding that I don't think it would have changed as much as people would suppose. Maybe the future, but my time would have been similar in the turn of events.

It's made me wonder if anyone else has thought about such things. So, I pose the question to all of you, how do you feel having Pokemon in your world and time would, or would have, changed things?

((OOC: If his peeps(or other people in Goldenrod) want to come action at him, feel free. He's found a nice place outside, alone but for Pokemon, just drawing and seeming withdrawn))

[Blake is pacing around the city. He can't hold still. His eyes are red and his movements are stiff and jerky. Usually right now he'd be out doing some animal fighting, but the thought of one of them out in the grass tearing at something with its teeth is not fucking okay right now. So he walks.]

[For once his Snubbull isn't with him. It's with all the rest, in the little balls shrunk down and shoved in a bag in his apartment.]

[There's somebody on the phone, and Blake's about to reply, but he runs into him in person first. He's brought up short, and the crazy thing Tony told him pops into his head and right out of his mouth.]

Captain fucking America.

[Steve has his Espeon curled around his neck, almost painfully so, but seeing as he's Captain America, it doesn't bother him much. The Arcanine at his side looks at Blake, both curiously and with meaning, she, like the Absol hiding near by, would attack at the smallest provocation.

As for the man referred, he looks up at Blake as the man says his name with profanity. This makes him raise his eyebrows first then furrow his brow at the other man. He's not sure how to take that, by no means is he new to any form of profanity, but still, usually it's not so sudden.]

Probably the most vulgar way I've been referred to by that title.

[Blake doesn't like the way the animals are staring at him. Makes the skin on his neck crawl. Makes him think of fangs.]

[He'll go right for the chance to think about something else. He holds up a hand and tries to look less like an angry jackass. He doesn't want to get told to fuck off.]

There was some guy calling you that the other day. Like the comic book character. I thought he was crazy, but come to think of it...

[Yeah, it adds up, when he thinks of it.] That's a nickname you got from somewhere, right? For being all blond and clean-cut.

[Blake's smile is tired and a little bit relieved.] It's not like you're actually Captain fucking America.

[Steve lifts his eyebrows curiously, more surprised to meet someone for once trying to seemingly figure out a way to discount him as Captain America rather than accept it and ask for his autograph or something.

He listens carefully, he wonders who might be telling people he's Captain America. Either Tony or Danny, but he feels Blake would have been more likely to brush off a kid's claims than an adult's. So, now why was Tony telling people he's Captain America. Questions for the man later, for now to address Blake.]

No, it was a stage name, but it stuck once I went over to help fight the war effort, especially after they started to produce cards and comics.

[The world may have gone nuts, the rug may have been pulled out from under his feet so many times that he's practically living falling down, but comic books aren't real. That's important.]

Huh, so that much is true. It was the same guy who keeps going on about being a rich supergenius, so I figured he was full of shit from the word go.

[The relief only lasts for a second before a terrible suspicion grows and can't be ignored.]

You're saying the comics had something to do with you?

[So it was Tony. Why was he telling people he was Captain America? It hardly matters here, nor does Steve want everyone knowing. He'll ask him later.]

Stark is a genius and very rich, so that's true actually. Why was he telling you those things about me though?

[He nods, giving an almost bashful smile as he does. It's still very strange to him, but it did happen] Yep, the comics are, well I guess more were exaggerated retelling of what I really did, though some things that seemed totally fictional weren't.

Sure he is. He sounds like just another asshole to me. [And Blake's judgment is impeccable.] He was a bragging about a whole lot of things. You were one of 'em.

[Something about the look on his face makes Blake uneasy, but he manages to scoff. He scoffs with feeling and with gusto.]

[His voice is full of scornful challenge.] Oh yeah? If you're Captain fucking America, then how'd you kill the Red Skull?

I hope he's not bragging about me because he still thinks he owns a piece of me because his dad helped make me who I am. [Yep, he sure does sound grumpy about that one.

But the comment on Red Skull is a distraction. Blake isn't from his world it seems, so no harm in being honest really.] I don't know what the public was told, but I didn't kill him so much as he was destroyed by an ancient piece of.. technology I suppose. Magical artifact. He was trying to harness it's power, it was too much for him.

That kinda idiot brags about anything. I bet he has friends who play for the Yankees, too.

[Blake's brows knit. That matches up pretty well with what he remembers from when he was a kid, when he'd read the things standing up right outside the drugstore because there was no way he was waiting til he got home to find out what happened.]

[His voice comes out slow, testing the ground.] You did your homework.
