A long pause, "Just kidding. Uh. Don't kill me."

It's the 'adults are saying dumb things to me' face. The skeletons continue digging. "What's that supposed to mean?" He might sound just a touch offended.

Myron rubbed his nose, since it was freezing cold and he refused to wear a balaclava or anything that might wreck his outfit, so his extremities were protesting. "Are they yours?"

At that motion, he can't help but give a sympathy sniffle - even in properly warm clothes it is freezing, and he can't easily rub his own nose through the face guard. He does glance down at his theme appropriate attire before looking back up at Myron, though. "... Yeah?"

This means that when she swoops down headfirst in a lazy spiral, coming to a stop right above the current car he's working on, she almost sounds polite and normal! Normal except for the fact that she's hanging in midair with one hand propped under her chin.
"Having fun there?"

"Uh." He blinks up at the sudden appearance of a wild Floating Vampire, baffled for a split second before remembering to shrug nonchalantly to save face. With the reactions he resigned himself to getting in the City, this is a pleasant - if weird - change, so he just turns back to pointedly stare at the snow drifts and partially freed car he'd been working on. "... Not really."
But it beats sitting around bored, he can't complain that much.

"Well, yeah, if you're gonna be all boring about it." There goes the politeness, but her tone of voice is still friendly, and she smiles as she scopes out the skeletons a little more. It looks like she's thinking about something! Something deep. "I bet they'd look better with hats."

At least he's suitably dressed for the occasion, suited, but with a smart coat on over the top, the collar hitched up to protect his neck and hands in pockets as he wanders past and... stops. Because the costume and the skeletons are an odd sight, even for this city.
"Are they getting practice for when Hell freezes over?"

Then he realizes he's talking to somebody and his brow furrows as he turns to look; though he's never actually seen Bond before, after a few months he's gotten pretty good at recognizing voices almost as well as faces from previous conversations.
Plus there's that bad humor. It's unmistakable! "... James?" And wow that feels weird, but he'd said not to call him Mr. Bond...

"Doesn't this count as child labour...?

He pokes at the snow a few times with the tip of his shovel, sniffling because it's hard to rub his nose through his face guard. "Feels like it." He pauses, and then shrugs. "I got bored though." He glances up at Bond again, squinting slightly. "What are you doing out at... uh, now, anyway?"

From atop a nearby one-story building, perched at the edge of the roof-] Heya, spud. Need any more hands?

[Finally, he thinks to look up at the building's rooftop, pulling off his helmet because it's sorta hard to tilt your head back with one on.] ... No. [Aaand now he's just staring.] Why are you up there?
Reply
Good view. Nice atmosphere. Great vantage for surprise snowball fights. What're you down there for?
Reply
[Take that, ninja girl! He's totally not just jealous that he has no idea how to run around on rooftops or anything. So there!]

When he saw the skeletons though, he was glad he had gone street level. How often do you see skeletons digging out snow? Dressed in his own not very disguise-y costume of jeans, t-shirt, and trench coat Josh walked up to the group.
"That's pretty cool."
Reply
Hey, wait. He totally recognizes this guy.
"You're-" he pulls off his helmet while he's thinking, thus proving that he completely misses the point of disguises by pulling them off the second he meets anybody, "Josh, right?"
Reply
"Yeah, and you're Nico, right?" he asked. "And yeah, this is really cool of you to do."
