[gamora]

[ See Gamora. See Gamora in her assigned quarters for once. It's a very exciting image to be sure. For a moment her usual blank look of 'I don't flarking care' is replaced by something that's more annoyed than indifferent. ]

I'm looking for something Quill had on him before he was teleported out. Looks like a cube of crystal, glows white-blue. Easily held in one hand, can't tell you anything about how much it weighs. It's a know it if you saw it sort of thing.

[ A shrug, and she looks as disinterested as she always does. ]

If you've got it, I want it. If you've seen it, I want to know where.

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka's still recovering from her draining "talk" with Kaworu the other night, so she's feeling a bit crabby. Cathartic as that might have been for her, she still tends to fall into familiar patterns.

Like harassing her erstwhile roommate, for example.]

Hey!

[Sure, Gamora's older, but that's never stopped Asuka from complaining at someone.]

It's about time you actually showed up around here. You're supposed to do your own share of taking care of this place, you know!

[What was her name again? Eh, whatever.]

[gamora]

Guess it's not my responsibility if I'm never here, is it?

[ She doesn't even bother looking at Asuka, too busy thumbing through the previous entries to the network to see if there's anything interesting happening.

There's not. ]

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka folds her arms with a glare. The nerve of some people!]

Of course it's you responsibility! It's your apartment too, isn't it?

voice.

[fe_male]

[ well that sounds startlingly familiar. he's only seen it personally the once, and that was under several watchful eyes so it was sort of not the examination of it he was hoping for, but, all markers still point to 'magic cube shit'. ]

What do you need it for?

permavideo on her end

[gamora]

[ Reasons, Tony. ]

Getting out of here. [ Gamora actually has no qualms about talking about why she wants it - mostly because she's sure she can fight off anyone else trying to get it. ] Quill didn't use it because he's a flarking idiot, but I won't make that mistake.

[gamora]

Can't see why if I don't use it.

[ Except for sleeping when she feels like it. ]

his is voice until he figures out how he wants his face to look

[fe_male]

How would that work? Isn't it just untapped energy? You wanna punch back out of here and get back home?

oh tony your life

[gamora]

It's more than that, Stark. [ Wow to think his world hasn't even caught on to what a cosmic cube is for. ] It can do anything.

[ Which is why Quill didn't let her touch it in the first place. ]

So if I want to punch through this world? I can do that.

it's a little weird sometimes

[fe_male]

Yeah, so can untapped energy, that's what I said.

You'd better be taking everyone else with you if you do.

[redheadcarrier]

You're here now, aren't you?

[Asuka's just going to keep needling until she gets her way.

It works. Sometimes.[

[gamora]

What gave you the impression I was staying?

[ She doesn't even know who her roommates are, except that they're not the ones she started off with. ]

[gamora]

Sure, if you want to think of it like that and be wrong.

[ Plot Device™ ]

Why? Not everyone's from my universe and I das't well don't want them in it.

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka sputters and then settles for a glare.]

If you're not even going to live here, what's the point of having you as a roommate? Maybe I should just start using your room for storage or something!

[gamora]

So long as you don't touch my things.

[ She will also probably shove everything off of the bed onto the floor. ]

[redheadcarrier]

[Man, nothing Asuka tries gets through to her. That irritates her even more.]

Maybe I'll just put them out in the hallway!

[fe_male]

How is that wrong? Explain the problem here.

Because if you punch out of this one into another, this one could unravel.

[gamora]

Are you an idiot? Don't touch my things.

[ Repeated, just for effect. Gamora doesn't have the patience to do this forever. ]

[gamora]

It does anything. You can become a god with it if you've got the mind.

[ That's next on her list. ]

I've traveled between realities before. It won't.

[falsehoods]

[There is no response from Loki, but he sits in his throne, chin in hand, watching these conversations on his communicator. Oh, the Cube, he thinks to himself. Such mischief it could cause...]

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka grinds her teeth together. She's running out of patience already anyway.]

What do you care? You only sleep here anyway.

[gamora]

Because it's mine.

[ Gamora turns to her then - blank eyes narrowed with a very sour twist of her mouth. ]

[kneecaptain]

A cosmic cube?!

[gamora]

Got it in one. You've seen it?

[kneecaptain]

Not here.

There's a cosmic cube here?

[redheadcarrier]

So what? You don't care about this place!

[Poking the strange woman with green skin is clearly the best of ideas.]
