( there's a slight sound of rustling after the feed clicks on, as oz makes himself more comfortable on a seat in the observatory. why he's there late at night — night by circadian rhythms, anyway, simulated nights on the moon — is anyone's guess, or maybe it's obvious enough. in any case, when he speaks up a moment later, he sounds to be in a good enough mood. )

What's your favorite story? Scary ones are probably best for late at night, but what I really want to hear about are everyone's favorites. For instance, something about a princess and a dragon, or maybe a mystery with a twist ending, or something out of history....ah, if you make it up or adapt it from a book, that's fine too! Or even if it's a real one that's happened to someone you know, ( and a light laugh ) — don't worry, I don't tell anyone!

But it's rude to ask without giving my own preference, right? I can start with mine, if anyone wants.

( he'll tell people about holy knight. all about it!!!! don't ask him about it. )

That's it? Where's your creative spirit? I mean, I was just trying to help but he's your friend.

I used up all my creativity actually killing people.

( AND HE'S NOT HER FRIEND. HE JUST KIND OF LATCHED ON. )

Well it's good you're not letting your best skill go stale, or something.

[THAT IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM HERE.]

Don't say it like you haven't benefited from it.

( TEENAGERS OKAY, YOU CAN THREATEN THEM AND THEY DON'T GO AWAY. )

I do appreciate every time it ends up saving my ass, it's true.

[WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A PROBLEM LIKE OZ]

Then don't complain about it.

( FLARK IF GAMORA KNOWS )

But would you do that for this kid?

[The million dollar question.]

You're the one that constantly reminds us we can't injure civilians.

( AVOIDING THE QUESTION? Avoiding the question. )

And I'm afraid I'm not going to stop insisting on that rule any time soon, but that wasn't really the point.

[YOU CAN'T AVOID IT WE ALL KNOW.]

Sure seems like it to me.

( LA LA LA LA YOU CAN'T GET HER ON THIS ONE. )

I'm impressed by your attempt at broad and loose interpretation, then.

[HAHA BUT ISN'T HE GOING TO TRY SUCK IT GAMORA THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. IF THEY HADN'T ATTACHED TO YOU PETER WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.]

And here I was thinking that was the spirit of the team in the first place.

( 'TEAM'. HOW IS THIS ONE ALL HER FAULT SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SHE WAS AS NATURALLY OFF PUTTING AS SHE NORMALLY IS AND YET THEY STILL DON'T LEAVE HER ALONE. )

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Careful Gamora Peter does actually take the team and its mission very seriously. Somebody has to. Somebody besides Adam who is incapable of doing anything but taking everything seriously.]

Feel free to broadly and loosely interpret any way you want, Quill.

( She took it mostly seriously until she found out how he put the team together and STILL HASN'T APOLOGIZED FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. )

If you're not going to tell me outright then I'm not interested in hearing it.

[HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO HE CAN'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.]

Sure doesn't seem like that to me.

( DID SHE HIT A SORE SPOT? )

[IT'S KIND OF RAW AND UGLY, YES.]

Nobody asked you what you thought.

Never stopped me before. I'm not here to put up with your bad mood, Quill.

( BUT HE'S THERE TO DEAL WITH HER'S THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS, RIGHT? )

Well, any time you decide you actually want to say something helpful, let me know.

[EVIDENTLY.]
