exsilium | voice; forward dated to past midnight (action open to anyone around?)

( 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. )

The person who raised you?

( called by name — unless that's a title — so probably not a parent, and they're on the topic of being told stories, so. )

Thanos of Titan, yeah. Or the Mad Titan, if we're going for titles.

( look at her proud family lineage - the mad titan to the most dangerous woman in the galaxy. )

Does that make you Gamora of Titan?

( it's kind of catchy! )

Probably not. I've never set foot in the place. I grew up on Sanctuary II - Thanos' space ship.

( gamora, the deadliest woman in the universe is also catchy and much better. )

Oh, so Titan's a — planet? But Thanos raised you on a.... ( well, having been on one now ) ...was it a big one?

( the ue one is sort of cramped especially when considering an entire childhood, just saying. )

Moon, around Jupiter in Earth's solar system. ( so the one they're in now. ) Bigger than the one we used to get here. Much bigger.

So being up here must be a lot more familiar to you than staying on Earth was.

I've lived in space my entire life. ( so yes. ) The longer I stay on your planet the more obnoxious it gets.

( his laugh's maybe a little weak, considering the circumstances. )

Then, I'm happy you got an opportunity to leave for now, at least.

Could stand to stay off of it for good.

Maybe people would be allowed to stay here, even after Exsilium stays fixed. The building's livable now, and upkeep couldn't be too bad with fewer people to worry about.

What makes you think we'd have to be allowed?

( OZ YOU'VE MET PETE. )

( OKAY POINT. he starts to laugh. )

Exactly! No one can make you leave.

( he's pretty sure no one can make gamora do anything in any case. )

Thought they dragged up everyone who tried to stay back on Earth?

( it's not impossible, but gamora doesn't take kindly to people forcing her to do anything. )

With the transporter. But that was a special circumstance too, wasn't it? Anyone who stayed would've really died.

Maybe they should have for not listening.

Were you on the first trip, Gamora?

Last.

( she just couldn't be bothered to leave earlier. )

Really?

( not what he expected! )

We were all going to the same place. Why rush?

But if you'd like being up here better than down there, why delay either?

( a shrug )

Is it that important to you?

Just curious!

Seems like a chronic condition.

You could say that.
