Things Reborn, Sunday

Baseball season started two weeks from today, so Ben made sure to set up a rack with vintage jerseys. He was wearing a '69 Tom Seaver Mets jersey today both because he was a Mets dork and because it was a good advertisement for the other jerseys. And for the upcoming baseball season, too, even though nobody really needed to be reminded of that. Everyone loved baseball, right?

[OOC: Availability may be somewhat sporadic throughout the day. Or maybe not. It's kind of a crap shoot.]

Maybe check out the purse display in the back by the dresses. Ben probably can't help you with that.

But he'd try!

Really, he'd rather talk you into that 1984 Ryne Sandberg Cubs jersey, though.

Daisy's rounds were getting a rather late start today, causing her to fight down a yawn from a bit of a mid-day nap with a smile. "Afternoon, Ben," she greeted him. "How goes it?" She noted the jerseys with a tilt of her head. "Baseball?"

"Good afternoon, Daisy," Ben said. "And, yes, baseball. That's going above and beyond what I expect from Brits when it comes to recognizing American sports."

"Pfft," said Daisy, "I only mentioned it in hopes to build up to mentioning that you should play a real sport, like cricket."

"The only bowling I like to do is in an alley with pins at the end of a lane," Ben said.

"I love bowling." Daisy couldn't help but grin fondly. "We should go some time. I'm terrible. It'll be a great confidence booster for you."

"Come on, I'd end up just rolling gutterballs and then you'd feel better about your bowling prowess," Ben said.

It would be on purpose, of course, because Ben tried to be a gentleman.

Daisy eyed Ben, because Ben clearly did not realize that even if you tried, you couldn't be worse than Daisy at bowling. "I'll believe it when I see it."

"When do you want to see it?" Ben asked.

"When do you want to show it off?" asked Daisy. "Only plans I've made so far this week is introducing poor Mina to what she's been missing in the form of twenty-first century nightclubs, on Friday. But I did rather like doing something on Wednesdays. Makes the week seem not as long."

"I'm up for that," Ben said. "Bowling's not really a Friday kind of date thing anyway. Unless there's cosmic bowling and somebody's an alien. Then it's cheesy but appropriate."

"Is...someone being an alien the only thing that makes cosmic bowling so cosmic?"

Inquiring minds had to know.

"No, but I have to guess it would make things more fun if they don't take offense," Ben said.

Ben may have been trying to imagine the aliens he had met bowling. The only one he could come up with immediately was Venom and... no.

"Because, you know," said Daisy, "technically I'm an alien. So if that were the case, then every bowling is cosmic bowling."

"Well punned, but I meant space alien and you know it, Daisy," Ben said, trying not to laugh. "Unless you're confessing that you're from another planet?"

"How do you know I'm not?" asked Daisy, who very, very clearly was no such thing because she was bad at even suggesting a lie.

"I don't, that's why I'm asking you," Ben said. He was pretty sure she was doing a really bad job of suggesting that she might be. But that might be what an alien would WANT him to think.

Daisy considered trying it. Just a little bit. After all, everyone else had 'I'm from the past,' or 'I'm Jesus' best friend' or 'I'm a vampire' or 'I've died,' and what did she have?

Well, at least she was cute.

"Okay, fine, I'm not. Good eye."

"Well, I am a biology nerd. If I get enough time to study a subject, I figure I should be able to figure out whether or not they're human," Ben said. "Even if I'm not really thinking about science at the time."

"And, well, with as much studying, you'd probably be bound to notice something."

"That's what I'm figuring," Ben said. "As far as I can tell, you're just an extraordinary human being."

"Awwww, Ben!" Daisy was genuinely blushing. Daisy. Ducked head and small laugh and everything. "That's wasn't fair!"

"Who ever said I had to play fair?" Ben asked.
