LAS VEGAS ♔ DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME

[morethanasidekick]

One of The Drunks - Panic! At The Disco

WHO || Kenzi, Paige, Bo, Groot, Rocket, You? Gatecrashers Others welcome.
WHAT || Vegas Baby!
WHERE || Pandora in Vegas, Nevada.
WHEN || March, 2018
HOW || Action Spam.

[ Kenzi had threatened Paige with a ladies night and of course, if anyone needed a night out it was Bo. The fact that there's also a talking Tree, a drinking Raccoon and... Drax? It's Kenzi. Why is anyone shocked by the people that she spends time with? She has ideas and they spin out of control and you just sort of hang on for the ride. It's her way. She may have casually mentioned they were coming here to a few other people, so if you happen to show up as well? The more the merrier.

The location itself isn't exactly filled with the garish glitz and glamor that a person generally associates with Vegas. Pandora has a British Pub meets modern day speakeasy feel to it. It's known for its signature cocktails with names like Panty Dropper and the Hot Little Mess and you can always count on live entertainment in the form of dancers, magicians, a band and of course, a DJ. It also happens to be one of the few clubs that has an open door policy where Shadowkind are concerned. Whether they'll be rethinking said policy after tonight? We just don't know. ]

[Groot looks over at his friend, head tilted slightly to the side.]

I am Groot?

[beatupgrass]

[WHY YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT BIG DOPEY FACE, MAN. Once upon a time, Rocket would be able to glower and call him an idiot, but since the last thing he remembers of home is his death, his cold black heart softens.]

No, you're... Having a good time, which is the point. I just don't want any of these racist goons gettin' ideas. You never know with people these days. [He eyes the crowd suspiciously and of course there's a few gawkers- there's a giant tree- but he can't tell if they're just amused or planning to see if they can light him up for kindling.

His own hoodie only hides him from a distance, but he's not as worried about himself. He'd sooner die than get put back in a place like that lab on Andres.]

[treeshape]

I am Groot

[He gives Rocket a shrug of his shoulders. Racist dicks can be racist dicks. What are they going to do to him? He'll just punch them.

Some solid logic there.]

[beatupgrass]

It ain't the starin' I worry about. It's the other things. [Ahahahaha... Hah. Anyway. He gives Groot's arm a playful swat like NOPE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT TRAUMA. LET'S FOCUS ON ANYTHING BUT THAT.] But I didn't have you back then, so what the hell? Do what you like. You can take 'em.

[treeshape]

[Groot gently reaches toward Rocket, picking him up and placing him on his shoulder.

Where he belongs tbh.]

I am Groot.

[He starts to walk off the dance floor. If Rocket is concerned about that kind of thing, then he's not going to make it worse.]

[beatupgrass]

Whoa hey-

[Okay, okay. This is... exactly where he belongs, and he's just gonna get comfortable. He can deal with this. Also he can see the entire dance floor from here so that's cool. What he doesn't see is Quill.] Huh. I guess Quill screwed off. Y'know, I think he's comin' around to us, buddy.

[treeshape]

[This was all getting a little weird for them, lbr. Time to act like normal.

Which is weird for everyone else but w/e.]

I am Groot.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, I kinda ran into him. He finally broke down and gave me the whole sob story about how he's afraid he can't live up to the legacy of our Quill.

[Yeah, that's the... Tall Tales version, I guess.] I told him there ain't no legacy to live up to, and I guess that made him feel better.

[treeshape]

[Groot seems to have no outward emotional reaction to that because he's basically just thinking 'duh.' Quill is just Quill.]

I am Groot.

[beatupgrass]

He wants to be. I think. [He glances suspiciously around and then lowers his head so he can whisper into Groot's... whatever passes for ears.]

He's invited me to work on the Milano if those jerks at SHIELD cough it up, and if they don't...

[treeshape]

[A wide smile spreads across Groot's face.

It's almost as if he wants to see these SHIELD people tell them no.]

I am Groot!

[beatupgrass]

Exactly! And, not gonna lie, I'm kinda hopin' for that option. It's been a long time since we've had a good heist. My skills are gettin' rusty.

[It's for the best SHIELD is giving the Milano back because wow Rocket.]

[treeshape]

[Groot is not much better over here.]

I am Groot.

[beatupgrass]

We might get thrown out. That's a thing that could happen.

[Is it bad that the risk kinda makes him wanna do it more??]

[treeshape]

[Groot simply gives a slight shrug of his shoulders in response. Is it a possibility? Maybe.

Is he totally going to steal back Peter's ship anyway if they need to? Absolutely.]

We are Groot.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket sighs in what feels like the first true bliss since he crossed the Veil into this world, like something finally clicked and he can relax just a bit even if he's sure one wrong move and they'll be fighting their way out of some kind of camp before the night's over.]

Yeah. That's what I like to hear, buddy.
