childofrebellion | Convention with Barry and Cisco

Cassian's at the counter in his informal Willix outfit which resembles a simple blue suit that's more formal that what he normally wears.

He left a note for them about a chance to go see a lot of ships at the convention. Today's a good day for them to visit as its the busiest of the convention with the most tourists.

"I approve of being prepared. I try to be more subtle about it. What kind of supplies?"

Digital World seems like it would be hard to anticipate what you need.

"See, he approves," Cisco points out to Barry, willfully ignoring that part about being more subtle.

Finally Cisco has everything into his new coat and he hefts the backpack he's carrying.

"Oh, necessities and emergency supplies," Cisco answers. "Some scientific equipment, first aid kit, clean socks, a poncho, bus fare, a wilderness survival guide, a zombie survival guide, matches, GPS, Twizzlers... " There is more, so much more that he continues to list.

"Still think he needs all that?" Barry deadpans to Cassian while Cisco goes on.

From:

childofrebellion

"Not all of it. How will bus fare help you in my galaxy?"

That's the one that stands out for its oddness to Cassian.

From:

"Why? Do you guys have Uber?" Cisco asks, straight-facing the question and making it sound perfectly reasonable.

With everything secure he gives a thumbs-up.

"Alright, I'm good to go."

From:

Barry throws Cassian a look which asks, 'That's the item you have questions about?'.

Shaking his head to dismiss anymore attempts to understand or reason with Cisco on this, Barry straightens his new jacket and gives Cassian a nod.

"I guess we're ready."

From:

childofrebellion

"We're not going anywhere that we can't walk or take a speeder if we need to."

It was the one that jumped out as the others seemed to be about being prepared.

From:

run_barry

"You mean 'take' as in you have a speeder for us to use, right? Not as in... " steal, is what Barry is getting at, but it feels awkward to say.

From:

makes_the_toys

"On the one hand I am shocked, shocked at the idea that we'd engage in speeder banditry," Cisco says. "On the other, I would love to call myself a space pirate, so... "

He's not an automatic out if speeder-jacking becomes necessary, is all he's saying!

From:

childofrebellion

Cassian shrugs as it depends on what's around, he's not going to steal a speeder using his Willix cover,

"They can be rented."

He smiles at Cisco's enthusiasm, "Taking a speeder wouldn't be enough to be a space pirate, you'd have to hijack a ship."

From:

run_barry

"Just asking," Barry replies to Cassian.

"No," he says firmly to Cisco before the guy can get any ideas about the whole ship pirating thing.

From:

makes_the_toys

"Fiiiiiine," Cisco sighs, so very put upon to have his space pirate dreams quashed.

"Well let's go then. If I can't steal a spaceship I at least one to go look at them."

From:

childofrebellion

"A lot of them. My cover's name is Willix but that shouldn't come up too much."

Cassian leads them to the door which opens onto a hallway in the large convention center. One of those places that's not completely anywhere.

"Will-X, got it," Cisco says with a nod and fingergun point at Cassian as he follows.

From:

run_barry

Barry takes up the rear, stepping through the door and looking around.

"Thanks again for bringing us, man," Barry says. "Your world is always cool to check out."

From:

childofrebellion

"I knew you'd enjoy it."

As they turn down the hall, they come into view of the main exhibit floor, the gleams of ships just visible through big doors along with a mix of patrons.

From:

Catching first sight of the ships, Cisco covers his mouth with his hands and breaths, "It's nerd-vana... "

From:

run_barry

Barry grins wide in excitement, bouncing on his heels.

"So awesome"

From:

childofrebellion

Cassian walks behind them to get them moving then stops as an Imperial officer with a few 'troopers walks by,

"Turn right and you can go through the best displays."

From:

run_barry

Barry stops when Cassian does, reaching out a hand to lay on Cisco's shoulder and stop him from walking in front of the 'troopers. Barry gives them a nod as they pass, then turns Cisco by the shoulder in the direction Cassian indicates.

"So what's all this for, anyways?" Barry asks Cassian.

"Are they showcasing new models, are there any 'ships of the future'?" Cisco asks, snapping a pic as they walk.

From:

childofrebellion

"Not here, but there are some mock ups on display, nothing full size. They're out here to sell and show what they've been building. Everyone who can afford it wants to the best ship."

Once the 'troopers have passed, they're surrounded by ships, cross sections of ships, private rooms within the exhibits where private conversations are going on.

Various species pass by in differing levels of dress, most of the obviously rich seem to be human with a few exceptions. Bounty hunters in their outfits proclaiming their danger are also in the crowd.

From:

Cisco starts taking pictures, mostly of the ships but he's definitely trying to discreetly capture some of the aliens walking around, too.

"Well sure, wouldn't you want the best if you could afford it?" he asks, grabbing a pic of a purple dude.

From:

run_barry

"Is it just the floor show or do they have panels and presentations?" Barry asks. "Are there any demonstrations? If we could get some literature about these ships that would be great."
