When: April 15 - morning
Where: Lizzy's Flea Market place
Warnings: Nada
Status: Closed
It was a flea market kind of day. Ollie didn't always go to the flea market but Ben really liked to go and scope out some antique electronics, really antiques in general. Sometimes - like today - he dragged Ollie with him and the two of them wandered around the market. Ollie didn't like being touched and he didn't like crowds but every once in a while someone would accidentally brush against him and get a shock and it did amuse him.
The low hum of electricity played in his ears like a quiet tune and it helped him drown out the sounds of the people walking around him. They milled around like ants... if only he had a magnifying glass. He didn't need one to start fires but it didn't hurt to have one, after all he was well trained not to get emotional and that's what he would have to do to cause any real damage.
Something caught Ben's attention and Ollie began to follow him. It was a stand with antiques and nearby was another stand with electronics. Ben seemed to have decided to work through the antiques booth first so Ollie took the initiative to walk over to the electronics. There was a girl working the stand and he gave her the slightest glance before focusing on what he really cared about. It was an interesting little adapter sitting out in the open, old for sure. Old tech like this really gave him a thrill because it was faulty in its own way, there were so many leaks. He could push electricity into something like this and just feel it escaping out all of the gaps and shoddy workmanship. So that's what he did, he held the adapter in his hand and let some of his electric store flow into it.
It was amusing in the most mundane way, something to keep him distracted and in roughly one mental piece while Ben did his little shopping thing. He wasn't even sure why he accompanied the man here these days, he was in his thirties it wasn't like he was a kid anymore. He didn't need Ben to look after him. Maybe Ben wanted to, though, because he knew the kinds of things Ollie did when he was by himself. Getting mixed up with Omicron was probably the most tame thing on the list.
