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. )

Then it's a good thing I'm not looking for a bedtime story, right?

( feed his insomnia, peter, you know you want to. )

You know what I mean. Don't question me on that. Just smile and say yes, I don't really want to explain if you don't.

( he laughs, nods though peter can't see it )

A Star-Lord has to have good stories to tell, though!

( it's what he told gamora but she's still refused 8( but she's telling him about things so it's still a victory maybe. )

I think you think my life is way more thrilling and epic than it actually is.

[There are things that's still...hard to talk about, about being the Star-Lord. Being the leader of the Guardians, maybe. But right now that's tinged with some bitterness too. It's hard to look Adam in the face sometimes knowing what happens to him. It's hard not to pretend he doesn't know he's going to die, that he cost a lot of people their lives in this grand mad plan to save the universe.]

I'll tell you a Kree fairy tale, though.

( he hears that tone, and it gives him enough pause to not address the first thing peter's said. something to keep in mind, mainly. )

What's it about?

The same thing most Kree stories are about. Kicking the crap out of the Skrulls.
