Somewhere on the Mainland; Tuesday Evening

It was rare these days that Harley had plans, let alone ones that were less immediate than later in the same day at most. Funny what power a "could be free Tuesday" spoken on a Thursday could have! Because now it was Tuesday, and the "could be" had turned into an "am" - and Harley had plans she'd actually put a little bit of effort into!

Or bribed Cass to do something for her ahead of time on the mainland. Potayto, tomahto.

They'd taken the car off the island. It was parked a few blocks away now, to draw less attention to where they were actually going - which was a warehouse, but an old-timey one, all nice red brick, one whose actual warehouse days were long gone. If Marc had paid attention to any of the signage before they'd rounded the corner to the back of the building, he may have caught something about "circus arts".

Harley consulted Cass's messages on her phone to find the right door, then stepped up to it, and rapped a rhythmic knock against it. It wasn't Shave and a Haircut; it was something much more convoluted than that.

"Us circus folk like an elaborate knock," she told Marc with a smirk.

She was not actually circus folk except by a very long stretch, and the knock she'd just performed would not be familiar to anyone.

(NFB and for the one gently modded)

Marc had checked in that Watts would be okay on his own. Supposedly the nightmares had faded enough for it to be fine so the night was clear.

And Marc hadn't exactly had a problem not being around the past few days. He didn't want to even without extra reason for Steven to be front and center. Which actually made Marc feel a little shitty because Steven hadn't been having a wholly easy time of it either and while Watts was great with that it was also supposed to be Marc's job to keep Steven from dealing with any of that in the first place and -

- and Marc really needed a distraction. Like whatever this was.

"Circus folk," he said. He looked Harley over like she was suddenly going to sprout a lion tamer's outfit.

"Why bother when I already know the original?" Marc replied, giving her a smirk.

"Why am I gonna hang out with some dead person instead of you?" Marc replied.

Marc gave a look as dry as desert sand.

"Hi, Pierre."

Marc thought it'd been a fairly solid joke. Which said a lot about his sense of humor, on the odd chance people hadn't figured that out yet.

He watched all this go down with the cash, trusting Harley had a handle on it.

"Nobody wants it to be me," Marc replied as he followed her in.

Enjoying the view, as always.

Marc looked around. "Roomy."

Marc similarly didn't stop her from taking his hand, so there was that too.

He followed along, mostly watching her. And not just for the normal view.

"We sure are," Marc said.

He had no idea what he was looking at. The general pieces, sure. How they went together not so much.

Marc wasn't any better at hiding that than he was at being Pierre.

"Where am I going?" he asked, since he figured this was a get out of her way situation.

Marc went to get one, bringing it over and setting it up where it looked like it'd be out of the way but have a view of the main part of the room. "Here good?"
