On being reserved at Teleios

[pelvic_sorcery]

Let me get this straight. There's two bars, a club, free flowing alcohol, hot babes, and all I have to do is do some kind of legit job and it's all mine for the having? What's the catch?

Okay. So there's earthquakes, psychotic assholian... I mean, asguardians, and someone's maybe experimenting on people?

But I can get my ship eventually, right?

I can do this.

.....Good luck with that.

[pelvic_sorcery]

Thanks. I think it will be good luck.

Also, if a talking raccoon shows up and says he needs your arm, don't listen to him. No, really, don't.

[deadandred]

....I won't. It doesn't come off. [And he will probably try and punch Rocket across the room should that ever happen.]

[pelvic_sorcery]

Where you're from they permanently attach prosthetic? You didn't get it done on some cheap side planet by a some guy using your original arm for meat pies or something, did you?

Not that I ever had those pies or anything.

[deadandred]

[This gets a slightly befuddled look, but he pushes through it.]

No. It was done in Russia, in 1944. ...Or somewhere around there.

[pelvic_sorcery]

In... Okay then. You thought surgery in Russia in 1944 was a good idea? Do they pay in this place, because honestly I have a bridge to sell you.

[deadandred]

It wasn't by choice. I was nearly dead at the time.

[pelvic_sorcery]

Oh. Well, yeah. That's another story. Still, talking raccoon asking for your arm? Never agree to this. Last time cost me units.

What's with this Teleios place anyway?

[deadandred]

I wasn't planning on it.

....It's a place where you pay your debts to apparently get to 'Utopia.' I'm pretty sure it's just free labor.

[baubled]

No one is experimenting on people in Teleios. [ right?]

[pelvic_sorcery]

Naw, I'm sure no one is doing anything like that. That werewolf I'm sharing headspace with is talking shit. You know how they are without a muzzle. Well, I would know if I had ever really encountered one before.

[baubled]

He must be mistaken, it's really quite lovely if you don't mind the weather and occasional oddness.

[pelvic_sorcery]

That's going to need some explanation. What do you mean by oddness, and how occasional are we talking here?

Speaking of lovely, have I told you yet that you are?

[baubled]

Every month or so it seems, people just spilling their secrets or mountains appearing over night. Harmless, mostly but strange to be sure.

[ she beams at his compliment. she is lovely, thank you for noticing. ] You haven't but I'll forgive you for being temporarily stunned.

[pelvic_sorcery]

Harmless? What if they appeared on someone? The mountains, not the secrets. Not that I'm worried about revealing. I don't have any. I'm an open book.

How could I even find words? No one has ever left me speechless. [Not that he's really stopped talking but still.]

[baubled]

Why would the mountains be on top of anyone? I think they'd check first.

I like the word radiant. I think it's quite descriptive.

[pelvic_sorcery]

Did they? [Nope, he's not buying that. Did Dorothy check before she dropped on the witch? Nope.]

What about too awesome for words? Or... ethereal?

Love your voice take on him

[pelvic_sorcery]

It can't be that bad, right? We've all been through worse. What's so bad about the idea of mountains and guys with metal arms. Okay so the honesty thing probably sucks but won't kill us. I hope.

Thanks!

I AM GROOT!

[pelvic_sorcery]

Technically we don't even know that's a thing. So a few werewolves disappeared and then came back woozy with their fingers pricked.

Maybe they were playing with spinning wheels. It's a possibility!

[i_am_groot]

I AM GROOT.

[pelvic_sorcery]

Splinter? Uhmmmm, some of them are lacrosse players. Could have happened that way.

Do you think I would go traipsing in somewhere that could get Rocket turned into an experimental pin cushion?

No! Before you answer that, the answer's no. Why I'm walkin' in.

[i_am_groot]

I AM GROOT!

[pelvic_sorcery]

I feel like there's a compliment in that Groot somewhere.
