Abner tossed his used up cigarette to the side, watching the scene continue to unfold. It didn't look like it was going to go badly, with everyone yelling at this woman for drawing her gun presumably prematurely. Then again, he couldn't blame her. Everyone else was raising their voices at her for drawing her gun, but he couldn't help but notice that it was at a freaking zombie. If this were the Pale Moors, there would be little consideration about painting the side of these ruins with that thing's insides. Apparently the Tangled Green had a different culture.
Abner kept an eye on the zombie as he looked around at the other arrivals. Some looked like average people, and some looked a little different. Hell, there was even a flying horse up there. He watched how they interacted and talked for a moment, and made note that they were all here looking for Omni. So, maybe this wasn't a wild goose chase after all. It seemed a little more than coincidence that this many people would show up in the same place with the same objective, randomly. Something was at work, but before Abner could consider it any further, he suddenly felt a nudge at his side. Abner curiously turned his head, only to see one of the last things he ever expected to encounter out here.
That damn droid.
Not just any droid. That damn droid.
Abner watched silently as the battle droid dug through it's backpack, and when it announced that it had another 'disguise' Abner didn't immediately respond. Instead, he simply pulled out another cigarette and lit it, quickly taking in another puff. Yea, he was going to need these.
Any questions about what his superiors might think of him had been answered very quickly. Here he was on a mission to find Omni, and they'd just happened to send none other than defective old Bucky on the same assignment, and hadn't bothered to give him the heads up? Someone, somewhere, was laughing pretty hard right now. It sure wasn't Abner, though.
The battle droid was insistent, though. Where the hell did it even get these things? As it kept trying to give him a similar "disguise" Abner responded by simply holding out one hand and gesturing downwards, telling him to keep the "helmet" in the back.
"Save it. We might need it later," Abner responded, trying to appease the overeager droid. He had a more important question in mind, though. He had to confirm this one. "What do they have you all the way out here for?"
