Hangar with Cisco, Barry and Yamato

[childofrebellion]

The hangar's not too far from the main exhibit hall, a walk through busy streets to an imposing building. Inside they walk by many of the real ships that only had models in the exhibit hall and towards a section that's near one of the corner. The ship is gleaming and shining where it waits.

"You don't -- I don't -- You wouldn't have actually done that," Yamato says to the idea of a giant sign, turning faintly red. "Even you two wouldn't have done that."

Foam fingers and beer hats, meanwhile, he -- he can see Cisco doing that, at least.

"How's it look?" He asks, nodding in the direction of Cisco's diagnostic device. "It flies pretty well, or at least it did once Willix had spent some time working on it, but any extra improvements would be welcome."

[run_barry]

"Mm, wouldn't we have, though?" Barry asks with a 'are you sure look at Yamato.

They may not have, but it's fun to tease.

[makes_the_toys]

"Making full-size cardboard stand-ups of people is one of my hobbies," Cisco pipes in.

Because he so would have.

"It looks like someone competent did some pretty good work on this," he replies to Yamato's question. "Now just imagine if it had been a genius with mad skills who'd been working on it."

So yeah, Cisco will allow that Cassian did a good job, it's just that Cisco could've done better.

"Luckily, we've got time." That said, Cisco grabs hold of the console and then wrenches it free, exposing the wiring on the inside. "Let's see what the genius can do... "

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato squints at Barry, but he suddenly looks a whole lot less sure about the stance that Barry and Cisco would never do something that embarrassing.

"You wouldn't. You definitely wouldn't," he says to Barry, just a shade uncertainly.

He glances over at Cisco, cracking a quick smile. "Good to see you're having fun."

[childofrebellion]

Cassian returns carrying a full assortment of food and drinks with a look of concentration as if he's worried about tripping. Actually he's thinking about the person he saw who mentioned more accidents at a planet that Cassian has assets based at.

When he arrives he looks up and asks, "What wouldn't they do?"

[run_barry]

Barry just throws a grin at Yamato that strongly suggests they so would.

Seeing Cassian returning and apparently working hard to balance all that he's carrying, Barry zips over; standing one moment beside Yamato, and the next he's next to Cassian with both arms held out.

"Need a hand?"

[makes_the_toys]

"Start a Master Ilo fan club," Cisco answers Cassian as he chucks a metal part with dangling wiring out of the ship.

"I mean, you've practically already got one on our Earth," he informs Yamato. "You know, your Instagram account already has almost five hundred followers?"

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"That's not ..." Yamato starts saying to Cisco, before his chain of thought is momentarily cut off as he sees that metal part land on the floor. "... You're making that up. Stop making stuff up."

He glances over at Cassian and the assorted refreshments, and at Barry ready to help him out, and cracks a quick smile.

"Thanks, Willix. Remind me to pay you back for those, when I get the chance."

[childofrebellion]

Cassian tries to dodge the metal part and laughs at the fan club idea,

"Master Ilo is very popular and I put it on the expense account. Don't you need that?"

[run_barry]

Barry will take some of the food load off of Cassian if he'll let him.

Watching the piece go flying and hit the ground, Barry frowns.

"Dude, are you sure you know what you're doing?"

[makes_the_toys]

"Hey! How about everyone just let's me do my thing, alright?" Cisco says, tossing another piece out.

"And totally not making it up. You gave me permission, man, and I totally put you on social media. 'ScrappyDigiGuy', I could've done better, but since you're all about the terrible names I thought you'd approve."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Oh, I know you'd do it, you mongoose-looking motherfucker, I just don't buy that five-hundred people gave a damn. It doesn't count if four-hundred and ninety-nine of them are just you with different account names."

Yamato does give the piece on the ground a slightly dubious look, before looking mildly alarmed at another piece being pulled out. He's just going to bank on Cisco knowing what he's doing.

"Thanks for the food," he says, quickly meandering over to Cassian and Barry and grabbing a bite to eat. "Everything go okay when you were getting it?"

Just checking that there weren't any problems with whoever-it-was that caught Cassian's attention.

[childofrebellion]

"Something I need to follow up on later to do with work at a factory. I tried to get a mix of everything that's good that they make there. ScrappyDigiGuy is accurate."

Once this mission is over, he'll need to go visiting because he doesn't like the rumors he was hearing of a new port boss.

[makes_the_toys]

"I couldn't believe it either, I mean, with your mug?" Cisco says, waving a hand in front of his own face to indicate Yamato's. "I think it's the hair. I get a lot of comments asking about your product."

And... another bit goes overboard before Cisco disappears, crawling into the small space beneath the console.

[run_barry]

Barry helps himself to a couple of bites, nodding in approval and adding in, "Yeah, thanks Cassian."

Listening to Yamato and Cassian, Barry worries.

"Something you need any help with?" he asks.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato rolls his eyes at Cisco, although he does at least give a momentary smirk.

"My mug's just fine. I know I'm pretty," he says, before his eyes track the discarded piece of machinery as it bounces across the floor.

He turns his attention to Barry and Cassian, just watching out of the corner of his eye, ready to offer help as well if needed.

[childofrebellion]

"No, its a kind of travel that I'm always doing. Do you have all the specs you need for in there?"

He calls into Cisco as he arranges the food in and around the ladder.

[run_barry]

"Alright," Barry says to Cassian, giving a nod and letting it go.

"So how fast is this thing going to go during the race?" he asks any of the three who might be able to answer.

[makes_the_toys]

"I guess not everyone would find it so bad," Cisco says about Yamato's face, chuckling.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Cisco replies to Cassian. A moment later he makes a 'whoop' noise of the 'uh-oh' variety.

"Actually... I'm gonna need that last part back. It's fine. It's totally fine."

Completely.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato picks up the discarded part, turning it over in his hands, before heading up the ladder to Cisco.

"Pretty fast. Roughly equivalent to one of the faster fighter jets from Earth, I'd say, at least when operating within atmosphere," he says to Barry, as he holds out the part for Cisco.

[childofrebellion]

"In the black, it'll be faster and the handling's good and fast. The times on the equivalent of the course have been where they need to be."

Cassian doesn't trust that whoop noise from Cisco but he's not close enough to se what he's doing.

[run_barry]

Barry opens his mouth, about to question Cisco and whether the guy actually knows what he's doing or not.

He shuts it a moment later, glancing at Yamato and really hoping the ship doesn't end up some kind of fiery wreck.

"That's pretty fast," he says instead, picking up more of the food to try, perhaps stress eating now just a little.

[makes_the_toys]

Cisco accepts the part with a bit of a sheepish smile, then ducks back underneath and sets to work again.

"Well now the times will be above that," he promise brags. "You better have your reflexes on, Yamato, because this thing is going to haul ass."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato gives Cisco a smile back, then turns, resting his back against the ship with his feet still on the ladder.

He does catch that opening-and-shutting mouth and glance from Barry.

"Right, right, reflexes. I've mostly been piloting with my eyes shut, just hitting the accelerator, getting up to max speed, and hoping that I don't run into anything. That should work out just fine for the race, right?" He deadpans.

He's joking -- he definitely hasn't done that in any of the practice runs, and even the thought of it makes him want to cringe -- but he does a pretty good impression of grave seriousness, because what is life if not an exercise in trolling Barry.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian rolls his eyes at Yamato who's not being helpful, "We've had a lot of practice runs."
