WHEN || Any time in April/May/June/July
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok. Characters participating in the following missions are asked to wait until their missions have concluded before tagging into things that take place chronologically after said missions: Dead of Winter, Curse of the Homo Magi, Ravenloft, Shadow Bermuda, and City of Blood If you aren't certain if that applies to you, please ask! Characters who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You're not celebrating that, silly. It's a celebration of another good year. Or not good, but still a year. That you survived.

[ isn't it? fuck is she knows. she literally passed her only birthday outside of pegasus with no fanfare at all. ]

Huh. Guess that ain't so bad. [He turns back to the TV just in time to see a guy get mauled by a shark.] Oooh. Now that guy ain't seein' another birthday, that's for sure. That's why you gotta swim faster, humie.

You shouldn't call them that.

[Rocket flattens his ears to his head with a grimace, but neither comments on it nor apologizes for it. Instead...] You were on that mission they picked up Quill on, right?

Yes. [ and then she possibly/probably had sex with him. just peter quill things. ] He's very nice.

He's a decent guy, I guess. [he tenses visibly.] Too bad he don't freakin' remember anything important.

[LIKE ME.]

I'm sure he thinks what he remembers is important.

'Cause he don't know what he's forgot... or what never happened, in the first place. [he makes a noise of agitation.] This shit's confusin'.

It could be worse. He could not be here. [ she shrugs. ]

[accurate.

depressing.

but accurate.

watch him sullenly flop forward on his stomach and stare at the sharks now. life is misery and everyone has a point, and he's just like meeeh.]

[ since he seems sad, kali does what alex and malina to do her when she's sad: she pets him.

it's gentle and soft, but she reaches over and smooths her hand over his head, carefully avoiding his ears. it's not petting the way one would pet a cat, it is the same distinct motion as someone playing with another person's hair. ]

I'm sorry.

[normally physical contact of any sort makes Rocket want to bite fingers off and there's definitely that coiled tension the second her hand touches him, just before he decides it's acceptable and relaxes into it.]

I'm freakin' pathetic, Kali. [he's more annoyed at himself, than self-pitying, but it's like he told skye- he and the rest of the Guardians met under very specific circumstances and, aside from Groot who loves everyone regardless, he doubts that any of them would have ever been friends outside the situation they were in.]

No, you're not. You're neither inadequate or pitiable. [ yes, she's going with the actual definition of the word, expect no less. ]

You just have a very uphill climb. If you give up, then yes, I will consider you very inadequate and rethink our entire friendship because I'm not friends with quitters.

He's nice. I think if you... just try to be friends with him and um, talk about similar interests. Like space! [ WHICH REMINDS HER. ] Have you been to Pluto?

[well if her goal was to hit him in the pride- because regardless of whether anyone is friends with quitters, he definitely isn't one and takes offense to the idea that he might be acting like one, so that alone makes him straighten up.

...And then cant his head at her, because at least her ridiculous question distracts him from his self-hate.] Ain't that one of the planets in this system that ain't got nothin' on it?

Um, it has a heart. [ SO OFFENDED ON PLUTO'S BEHALF. ah, yes, she'll fit in fine with the millenials. ]

Is that it? [THIS WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE IF HE WASN'T FROM DEEP SPACE.]

Yes. Well, no, I just can't remember what else is cool about Pluto right now. [ aka she failed her random fucking knowledge check. ]

When you've seen as many planets as I have, a lifeless rock with a heart's not that impressive.

Well, I haven't, so it is. And Peter was in space and he thinks Pluto is awesome.

[ SO THERE. such a weird person, but damn she has that "so there" tone on fucking lock. ]

[well, at least she's cute and it makes him laugh.]

Yeah, yeah. Must be a Terran thing.

You know, that's just as belittling as Humie. [ she's just saying. and she just said "BELITTLING" to make a point. ] I know that anthropocentrism is huge here, but you don't see me calling you a-- [ her lips purse a little, but she refrains from calling him a raccoon. even though he is. ]

[WOW THAT'S DIFFERENT. YOU ARE A PERSON FROM TERRA AND HE IS NOT A-

ykw fair point.]

Well, I'm stuck on this planet too, now, so that practically makes me a Terran by definition.

[so maybe he can say it less snidely. :|]

[ she nods, satisfied. for now. ]

You're not a Martian, are you?

[oh jfc.] I'm from Half-World.

That's a horrible name for a planet.
