Sometimes there's an obscure and probably perverse comfort in knowing that you're not the only one being victimized by the powers that be in some lofty joke that mere mortals, immortals, and other assorted creatures will no doubt fail to comprehend.
Which is why Hawkgirl has a small, sympathetic almost-but-not-quite smile on her face on seeing the two men enter. A proto smile, if you will.
Maybe they can form a superteam of newbies.
"I think there's a no parking sign at the bar, but the wall over there has a five minute loading zone."
Jim stares, between the... woman and Dwight, blinking a few times before settling on, "Dwight, I don't know if a sci-fi convention would be the best place to sell paper?"
He kind of makes a face at that though. Talking about paper. When he didn't have to.
She's been asked this before back home, although in a slightly different context; she's used to questions about her sartorial splendor, usually from little kids seeking autographs when she's actually on the ground and not busy whacking a Sin Eater or something similar. Naturally, she assumes this is the same scenario.
"I had some help," she admits, answering Dwight's question. As in lots. "The wings were inherited. The weapons," and she hefts her spiked flail carefully, so as to not swing it, "are old. They don't make 'em like this anymore."

Trying to make for the door as he bumps into the new people, "-Excuse me."

A bit too startled to think of much else - "Uh. No problem."

"Great costume." He looks her up and down but oddly, it's not in a sexual way. "The detail and workmanship is incredible."
He doesn't like to be kept from work but if there was some sort of convention happening here, he'd like to know about it. "Did you make it yourself?"

Milo shakes his head and sips his coffee.
Hey! That's not right! People don't get to just drink coffee in his canon!

Milo does not take orders from you, sir! He doesn't even take orders from Buchanan unless he feels like it.
All right, he's not quite that insubordinate, but he can be very surly about taking orders.
"Agent Pressman. CTU." 'Cause if Dwight's going to be so serious about it, he might as well be overly-serious in return.

He does still say, "What terrorism is there in Scranton?"
