Walter's roommate seemed to sleep a lot and he had too much restless energy to sit around the dorms anyway. Instead, it was time for a bit of exploration of the town.

With no need for clothes, no pressing need for electronics he hadn't already obtained, and a closed bookstore, Walter opted for other diversions.

Like bowling.

Having never tried it before, he was nearly on the lane before he noticed the sign about street shoes. This was a problem. As an inveterate no-sock person, putting his bare feet in shoes worn by countless other sweaty people was entirely unattractive. The problem was answered by a quick jaunt out for a six pack of black socks.

Shoe situation firmly in hand, Walter picked up a ball and stood at the head of the lane. Clearly, one rolled the ball to knock down the pins. He wondered if the proprietor would mind terribly if he used other methods of propelling the ball.

Red trotted through the new facility. He'd never done this bowling thing before and he stopped as he saw a young man standing at with a heavy looking ball in his hand.

He sat down out of the way and watched.

Walter stopped for a moment and watched the large red feline trot by. It only had two eyes, so he'd go on the assumption that it wasn't someone he knew. Pity.

Fortunately performing under pressure or with an audience wasn't that big a deal. What was a big deal was fitting his fingers into the holes while wearing his rings. Finally he settled for taking them off the four fingers that had to fit in the ball's fingerholes and tucked them into his waistcoat pocket.

Feeling half naked now, he hefted the ball again and gave it an experimental roll down the alley. It stayed straight almost too well and hit the pins with a loud crash, knocking all of them down except the two on either side in the back. Looking at the score sheet, those appeared to be numbers seven and ten.

With a surreptitious look around, Walter wrapped a pair of wires around the standing pins and pulled them over, whipping the wires back into his rings in an instant.

He told himself he wasn't playing against anyone, so it wasn't cheating.

Red thought the young man had done well with the first ball going down the lane. He knew enough to figure out that was the object and that knocking them all down was the prime condition for success.

The second one, done with a series of wires, had Red grinning. He was adaptable too. "Well done," he said softly.

((ooc: then RL took me away for far too long. sorry about that. and now bed. *flails* but being a shameless Hellsing fan and Walter specifically, I just had to stalk trot on by for a meet!))

Large talking feline. Okay. It wasn't any odder than large eight-eyed talking dog, was it?

"Thanks."

He continued to bowl the rest of the game, but with Red watching, he didn't play any more wire tricks.
