1st Shot Fired | Video

[Rocket was pretty much convinced this was some sort of mess up. His passport must have screwed up and he'd ended up across the galaxy or something.

Because what other explanation was there?

Sure he'd been told what this place and he'd been given his 'welcome' items, or whatever you wanted to call them but no. It was a joke. A weird joke.

Wouldn't be the first time he'd ended up on a strange planet.

....Right?]

Ignoring that explanation I was given that I really don't feel too flarkin' inclined to believe, anyone want to tell me what's going on?

[He finally activated the communicator he'd been given, his ears laying back slightly as his tail flicks about irritably.]

Where am I and how do I get out of here? I don't have time for this.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Not a fan of giving out my identity in odd places, kid.

[Yeah that response came a little sharp as Rocket eyes the person talking to him.]

( he could point out that unless TALKING RACCOON!!!! changed his identity on his tablet anyone can know his identity but

where's the fun in that )

Well, that's fair. It's only polite I introduce myself first, isn't it? My name is Oz Vessalius — it's a pleasure to meet you.

....Right.

[This kid is way too chipper.

Way too chipper.

He's quiet a moment more before an annoyed almost chittering sound escapes him.]

Name's Rocket. Now how do I get out of here? I have things to do.

( being creepily chipper is pretty much his modus operandi, and it doesn't let up as he grins at the concession. )

Rocket! ( a talking raccoon named rocket who might be an alien can this get any better ) Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you there.

...Bad news, huh?

Leaving and coming here are both totally controlled by the Transporter, which works on its own whims.

[Cue eye narrow here.]

So, what you're saying, is I'm stuck here?

Unfortunately, that's exactly what I'm saying.

[Excuse him while he starts swearing up a storm, throwing up his paws which causes the video feed to go quite wonky for a moment.]

( that's oddly adorable )

But I have good news too!

( well, maybe. )

[Done with his cursing fest, Rocket glares at the screen.]

And just what do you think could make this any flarkin' better?

What if I said you have friends here?

( HE HOPES THEY'RE FRIENDS AT LEAST IF THEY'RE ENEMIES THIS WOULD JUST BE REALLY AWKWARD )

Well, it's possible anyway. Usually people here run into others from their home.

Friends?

[One ear flicks up slightly.]

Who?

( cute flicky ears. no that's creepy ahem. )

Does the name 'Guardians of the Galaxy' mean anything to you?

( rocket may or may not be the second alien oz has asked this in recent days

the former being from the wrong universe entirely oops

and this is where he hopes the answer is 'oh yes!' and not 'my mortal enemies' )

[Just a bit, kid.

But watch both those ears perk up now.]

Which Guardians are here, mate? Is Pe--Star-lord here? Or Groot?

[At this point he might even be happy to see Cosmo, which is saying something.]

Shouldn't that be confidential until I know who's asking for them?

( rocket the talking space raccoon notwithstanding )

[And he's just going to growl a bit in an annoyed manner.]

I'm a member of the Guardians, you flarkin' moron!

Oh good! So that means you know the Star-lord ( IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO CALL PETER THAT DON'T JUDGE HIM ) and Gamora already!

( among others, but those are the two he knows personally and would call friends, of course at his own peril )

Gamora's here too??

Can't imagine she's all that happy about it.

[That last bit is muttered a bit before his eyes narrow slightly.]

Where can I find them?

She's the same as always.

( aka he can't imagine she's ever particularly happy about anything. )

I'm sure they'll find you before long! Once you've left a post here, it's only a matter of time.

[Rocket snorts a bit, crossing his arms now that he has his tablet propped up.]

Here's hoping you're right, kid.

[Thank God a familiar face.]

Been here awhile then, mate?

But Star-lord sounds more interesting!

[Video] Oh god xD
