Fiona Glenanne has posed:
The Civic Center in Empire Bay gives way to a harbor. It's here that Fiona Glennan's found overseeing the unloading of what looks like a small fishing trawler with crates on it. THe trawler's tied up at a dock and Fi's watching the crates be unloaded onto the ground. Shaking her head her hair's frizzy from the seawater and salt, and she's looking out of place among dock workers. Still....she's here, and.....for once, nothing's blown up....or got shot yet. She's settled on a crate that's yet to be moved, using it as a sort of temporary seat then looks impressed.

"You got this" she calls to a dock worker and stretches a little. She didn't bring her car here all the way from Holland Township. She instead took a cab. Funny that she could hail a cab and get a reduced rate here, but...perks of being where she is. Fi though is currently taking apart a cheap watch she bought for a few bucks in a local store, the sort that refurrbishes all sorts of stuff.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz is down in Empire City, probably on business of some sort, something to do with Angel Investigations or similar, most likely, but he's decided to come to the more crowded part of town. He's visiting the harbor and walking along the docks when he spots Fiona. "Fiona!" he calls to her, definitely surprised, lifting a hand to wave as he approaches. He's not sure what she's doing here but he figures he could at least say hi.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fiona lifts a hand to wave to Oz. "Hey Oz!" she calls and waves at him as if saying hey, come over and chat. Her other hand's disassembling the cheap $2 watch and seeing where everything fits. She's got an idea for her new friends, really.....disassemble the watch, make it more useful and still able to tell the time. Then again, she's the gadgeteer of the group, so.....

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz walks over, stopping beside the crate Fiona is sitting on, He looks down at her hand and the watch curiously, then back to her, as if asking what exactly she's doing, or, more specifically, what she's doing with the watch.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fi looks to the watch then over to Oz again with a smile. "Hey Oz, what's up?" she asks and pauses fiddling with the watch. "C'mon, wire....get over there" she says moving the wire a few millimeters as she's moving it so carefully, then she holds the watch in place with her hand.

Fi sticks her tongue out a little bit and peers up from the watch again with a tilt of her head.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Whatever's above us?" Oz asks, with a little bit of a grin. "What're you doing with a cheap watch?" he asks. "Rigging it up as a detinator?" He knows about her explosives, and setting up a watch as a detinator seems like something she'd do. "So, how've things been since we last saw each other?"

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"So the sky, birds?" she asks and smirks. "Fine, what're you up to?" she adds and pockets the watch (which she's been putting back together while talking to Oz), "Oh no, no. I was seeing how it worked and seeing what I could do with it. It's not a detonator, no" Fi says sounding confident. "Been figuring a lot of stuff out, found new friends in this city" she says and laughs. "What've you been up to then?" she adds and setttles back on the crate more. Over by the trawler, other crates are being moved over to a pickup truck. Fi's watching out the corner of her eye. Shaking her head, Fi looks amused.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Oh, ya know, the usual," Oz says, "playing guitar, killing vampires, almost got turned into a magical demonic thingy last night, but hey, that's how it goes." When she says it's not a detinator a surprised look crosses his face. "You sure it's not a detinator?" he asks. "Could blow up a cruise ship with it or something."

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"So....exciting?" Fi asks and shakes her head with a laugh. "Wait a minute. Are those things related. I mean, playing guitar led to the other things?" she asks and cocks her head, tapping a foot. "You suggsting I should blow up a cruise ship? No I was actually going to make this into a smart watch" she shrugs. "Or unless something better turns up. I could make it a detonator but......no. I want to make it so useful" she says looking amused.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Smart watch with detinator function?" Oz suggests, smirking. "No, it was a reference to a book." He laughs, looking over at the crates being unloaded from the fishing troller curiously. "No way there's fish in those crates," he says, more to himself. "Those for you? Explosives? Drugs?" He chuckles, none of that is impossible in this city after all.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fi raises an eyebrow. "What, you think I'm running bombs?" she asks and shakes her head. "No no. It's parts. Car parts, tech bits, you know, parts for putting together" Fiona says with a nod. "Oh and there's fish in the crate that I'm sat on" she nods and pats the crate wih a hand.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz chuckles, almost looking down at the crate, then changing his mind when he realizes that'd put his eyes level with Fiona's...anyway, he looks back to her face, in thought. "Oh. You seemed to be so into explosives last time. Did you really change that fast?" He offers a smile, sitting down on a crate across from her, sliding it a bit closer to her. "So, who'd you make friends with?" he asks, curiously.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Still am" Fi says and pulls the watch out again playing with it and the various bits again. "Just got people to help though now" she shrugs and looks amused then shakes her head "Pretty much I got things hidden away. Look" she says and hops off the crate, opening it up with a crowbar a dock worker goes to get....to reveal....yes, in fact, raw, salted fish. Wrinkling her nose, Fiona shuts the crate again and sits back on it. "You're more than welcome to sort through that crate if you like handling fish" she says, "I mean. It came from a trawler, right? I was actually watching them unload this crate from a seperate boat and came to sit on it since it makes a nice seat" she grins.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Uh...no thanks," Oz says. "Not my crate, not my fish," he says. But he seems confused as to why she did that, since he'd believed her shen she waid it was fish. "You never told me who your friends were," he says, still quite curious about that. "You meet Angel or somethin'?"

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Oh I should totally meet him" Fi admits with a laugh. "Oh just some guys and girls in SHIELD. Been helping them out! Fi grudgingly admits. "Fun people" she adds and pats the crate again getting up. "Those are my friends. Plus I make and sell gadgets too. I could make you.....say....a GPS tracker or a smart watch or something simple" she offers....yeah like a GPS tracker's simple. She never said she'd program them. More just build them. She pulls out her grenade flask and tosses it in her hand. "Fun story, I was doing that the other day and I was left alone in a warehouse" she says. "Went to meet somebody who was selling hard drives. They gave me them for free then kicked me out. Go figure" Fiona shrugs and looks impressed.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz laughs. "SHIELD huh?" He doesn't know much about SHIELD, of course, which is the whole point, he knows they're secretive, so he doesn't ask anymore, it's not his place. "Got kicked out of a werehouse for threatening to blow them up accidentally?" He smirks slightly.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"No no, it's my grenade flask" Fi says. "Got hard drives mind, but they were torn down for parts really. I was needing the components for things rreally at home" Fi nods and shuffles a little on the crate with a laugh. "So....let's see....you think I'm a bomb crazy lunatic....huh" she asks, "then looks amused. "C'mon I'm not that bad, really. What's so bad with doing what you're good at?"

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Long as you don't kill people," Oz says, with a half shrug. "I don't really care what you do. Hell, blowing shit up can be fun." He grins. "Nothing wrong with it. So, when are you gonna teach me?" He smirks, half joking, mostly.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fi eyes Oz warily. "You want me to teach you to blow stuf up? Well" she points out with a little laugh, "I could. But....but you could just learn on your own too and I'll watch you and advise?" she adds with a smirk as she hops off the crate again, the crate being moved as Fi's standing there. "So what brings you to Empire Bay?" she asks, taking her phone out and tapping on it. Curiously....nothing goes boom. Fi shakes her head again, firing off a text.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz stands as well, with a laugh. "It can't be that hard," he says, "just place a bomb and hit explode, right?" He can't help but smirk. But he goes quiet again, looking up at the sky thoughtfully, before closing his eyes.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Tell you what. I'll take you to an abandoned warehouse to learn?" she offers with a joking tone. Shaking her head Fi grins. "Yeah well playing a guitar's not hard, just tug on the strings, right?" she asks to prove how wrong Oz's point was......as Fi is /that/ quiet calm.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Screw you," Oz says, with a laugh, but it's clear he's proven, opening his eyes to look at Fiona again. He takes a breath, seemingly in thought, but still looking at Fiona, and he doesn't say anything more for the moment.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Not my type" Fiona fires right back then looks impressed and amused, though she's joking as well. Shaking her head Fi grins "But if you actually really want to learn.....then......there's ways to do it"

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz looks mock disappointed. "What? I tried so hard," he says, with a smirk. "I'm not sure I'd really want to learn, I mean it could be a fun thing to do, but it's not something I'd do as a profession."

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"That's me and guitars" Fi says with a smirk. "So, Oz. I'd say just watch videos of pretty explosions" she offers and looks amused then shakes her head. "I'd say try to find your spot on life.. So" Fi says looking amused. "I mean, you could spend hours and hours watching those. And cat videos, too" Fi adds looking guilty at the cat videos remarks. Shaking her head she steps back. "Not that I watch cat videos however....nah" she says somewhat defensively.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Meow," Oz says, with a smirk. "Cat videos are adorable. Who can resist adorable kitties, hmm?" He laughs. "I bet you watch cat videos. C'mon, don't lie."

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Meow? Did you just seriously say meow?" Fiona asks giving Oz an 'are you serious?' look. Shaking her head Fiona laughs. "Yeah, yeah, I watch cat videos. Yep, they're so adorable" Fi admits looking impressed then looks amused. "You said meow so...." Fi says with a godawful, fake, horrific meowing sound...as Fiona looks worried, like a 'did I just do that' face

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz bursts out laughing, and attempts to replicate the sound, but he's too busy laughing, so it sounds even worse. He smirks at her, clearly thinking this is hilarious. Which, it really is. Eventually he calms down. "Yes, I said meow, because cats," oz says, grinning.

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fiona just stares. "What.....just....what the fuck was that?" she asks all but doubling over laughing. "What...just...what the....why?" she asks getting her breath back. "I mean cats. Okay...but....just.....don't ever ever make that sound again" Fiona says with her hands on her hips and looking stern.....or......or.....trying to, though she's giggling while admonishing Oz. And herself, come to think of it.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"It's too funny," Oz says, with a smirk. He can't help but laugh at her reaction, laughter is definitely contagious today. "So, where were we?"

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fi taps a foot. "We were discussing you asking me to teach you to blow things up. Then you started saying meow and..../that/" Fiona says putting emphasis on 'that' to sum up the last few moments of sheer what the actual fuck....

"I was saying about guitars and you could just watch videos of pretty explosions. Somehow you thought talking about cats was a good idea" she says and shakes her head at Oz. "You just wait till I tell my friends about the meowing guitar player. You'll be a famous guy in no time" she says with a mischievous glint to her eyes. "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow" she says in a sing song voice with her hands making cat ears on top of her head....as if she's getting into this a little too much.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Fine, fine," Oz says. He starts air guitaring and meowing...the fucking meow mix song from like 15 years ago that about 0 percent of the population liked. And he's air guitaring perfectly, as if he were playing real guitar, not some fake air guitar people do to look cool. This is bad, very bad...

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
Fiona just.....stares and takes out her phone, recording Oz and waving an imaginary lighter with her other hand too....before she looks worried. The cat ears....with hands only lasted till Oz startedd his Robert Plant bit. She's recording every second of this while stepping further away. If she has to put Oz down for being rabid or something....she wants a safe distance first. Like.....several dozen paces. she's got a 'what the hell?' look....and she's seriously debating sharing the recording with her friends. Because they'll enjoy the randomness?

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz can't help it, he nearly doubles over with laughter again. This is stupid and he knows it, but he's having fun. It takes him another couple minutes to actually get straightened up. "God damn," he says. "So, pretty explosions, huh? Like fireworks?"

Fiona Glenanne has posed:
"Like.....yeah, that all the way to nukes" Fiona calls as her phone rings. "Yeah? Yeah you won't believe what I just witnessed" she says, having stopped the recording once Oz straightned up. "Oh no, it's just....I found a guitarist who meows along to his guitar. No, really. I recorded....yeah huh, yeah. Alright Did my order get in yet? Sure, I'll come by"?B?# she says and looks amused then grins to Oz once the call's over. "It's fun. World needfs more fun" she adds and nods. "Though I gotta get going in a bit. Think you can do a meow mix tape and launch your band off of that?" she says with a wink then looks amused. "You'll be a huge hit in Japan right?" she guesses and sets off walking.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Dammit!" he calls after her. "No way am I doing that! Fuck you!" Of course, his tone is not serious, he's mostly joking. "Alright, see ya around, then." And he turns, headed in a different direction than her.
