[oom: tourists in the city]

Today might be the single greatest day of Cisco's life.

At a table in the bar, Cisco sits working on his datapad while on the table there are a few different arrows and arrowheads carefully laid out on a cloth.

On his screen is a 3D image of a hooded costume. It looks pretty cool.

Cisco's job right now is to make it even cooler.

Drinking a giant coffee and making notes on his tablet and a pad of paper, Cisco gleefully tweaks the costume on the screen. Every now and again he utters a laugh of delight or a mad cackle.

Comments

[raptorcanaria]

Behind him, a blonde woman in jeans and a cut-off shirt is passing by with a mug of hot chocolate (and rum).

She stops, looks at the screen, and does a incredibly good job of not sighing.

"I always preferred the hat."

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco is currently experimenting with different types of bandoliers, not quite satisfied with the look.

He makes a change from crossing over the chest to more of a shoulder harness rig and pauses his contemplation of the look to turn his head up when he hears the comment.

"What kind of supersuit would ever come with a hat?"

[raptorcanaria]

"That's what I said at first," says Dinah. She looks around, hooks her ankle around a nearby chair and drags it over to sit her butt down at the table, a healthy distance from the computer.

"But it was all part of the Sherwood outlaw aesthetic, what are you gonna do? And I have to admit, he looked dashing in it."

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco watches her sit down, expression still scoffing the idea of a hat.

His face slips into something bewildered when she goes on talking.

"Wait... wait are you talking like, a Robin Hood hat? Like Men in Tights with a dash of panache?"

Cisco looks at the model, looks at her, looks at the model, pictures Oliver Queen's gruff ass face sporting the same jaunty be-feathered headgear a Disney fox once wore, then breaks into laughter.

[raptorcanaria]

Hey, no one gets to laugh at Oliver Queen except Dinah! She attempts to look offended on his behalf, and ends up laughing herself. Who is she kidding?

"I'm serious," she says. "It looked way better than his grimdark scary monk phase. And..." and she knows what she's talking about with this... "...the tights didn't hurt at all."

"Someone's happy," Yamato remarks wryly as he approaches, taking a second to take in what he's seeing -- the image of the costume, the arrows, the arrowheads, it's not difficult to figure out what's got Cisco so pleased -- before settling into a seat opposite Cisco.

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco looks up at Yamato and he's downright gleeful.

"Dude, dude, guess who's kicking it in the Arrow-cave?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"I refuse to believe they call it that," Yamato says cheerfully. "Congrats, though, kid, that's pretty cool."

[makes_the_toys]

"Speedy does," Cisco says, "And she tried to nix it, but I can tell Felicity totally does, too."

It's only a matter of time before Oliver comes around.

"Seriously though, it's awesome. Check out the gear I nabbed," Cisco gestures at the small arsenal laid out on the cloth.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Speedy?"

He picks up one of the arrows, extremely delicately and carefully, turning it around between his fingertips to get a better look at it from all angles.

"Does Oliver know you've taken his weapons?"

[snarky_spider]

"Cackle like that too often and they might come to take you away," a voice says from the rafters. Assuming he looks up, he won't find anyone perched on a rafter, more sitting on the wall with no obvious support while she drinks a raktajino.

[makes_the_toys]

"Oh, believe me they've tried," Cisco says with a laugh, tweaking a gauntlet before lifting his head to look up and...

"Are you using velcro? Because if not I totally wanna know your secret."

[snarky_spider]

Jess smiles a secret smile.

"Science! Mad science!" She takes a sip of her drink for drama. "Seriously, weird science involving radiation, lasers, and spider venom."

As she talks she scoots down the wall to be more his level.

[makes_the_toys]

"Damn, you lost me at spiders," Cisco says, shaking his head. Still, he is watching her with much interest as she scoots down the wall.

"Next question though, who's your tailor because that suit is pretty banging."

[snarky_spider]

"Eh, spiders are better than rats. It's an original from one of Janet van Dyne's assistants. I had to sign an NDA in case Janet freaks that I didn't go to her for the redesign, so I can't give a name."

She might be joking. Then again, Janet has been know to make scenes.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian's yawning and stretching when he walks by Cisco and stops to look at the image, "New project?"

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco looks up from his screen and grins.

"Yeah, sweet, right?"

[childofrebellion]

"Green but could be good camouflage," The arrows seem simple compared to what Cisco normally does and he sits down and orders caf from a rat.

[makes_the_toys]

"Yeah, I'm more partial to the red suit his buddy sports myself but, this one is still pretty cool." And it'll be cooler when Cisco is done.

[childofrebellion]

"Are you improving it or repairing it? Is the person who wears it an ally of our red suited friend?"

How many heroes are there in this galaxy?

[space_puffin]

Puffy hasn't seen Cisco in a while.

Probably a good thing.

However, spotting him he waddles over and stares up at him. Around his neck is a collar with a speaker on it. When he gives out a "Quaaark!" the speaker goes "Hey!" in a gravely Harrison Ford type voice.

[makes_the_toys]

GP is currently hanging out in the Arrowcave with Caitlin and the others.

Probably a bad thing.

Cisco of course would have no trouble identifying which porg this is anyways so when he sees the space bird there's a certain wariness.

That wariness shifts to curiosity when Cisco spots the collar, and then jumps straight into shock when he gets Han Solo Hey'd by the bird.

"What the French? You talk?"

[space_puffin]

Cisco, in a multidimensional bar with people from all over different realities and times, is surprised that a bird can talk? Well... fair since Puffy hasn't talked before.

He tilts his head and eyeballs him with large eyes. "Yes. Always could."

It's not his fault Cisco didn't understand porg.

[makes_the_toys]

"Then why were you such a dick?" Cisco responds, throwing his hands up.

[space_puffin]

He gives Cisco an offended look. "You grab me first! No asking!"
