[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.

— What?

( not that he knows what 'gently rinsing' a mind means but IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO GUESS )

[gamora]

Well how else are you supposed to get two mass murderers, a bipedal raccoon, the perfect human, and a walking case of daddy issues onto one team? Not that it worked once we found out.

( guess which one she is, oz!!! )

[velveteened]

What happened once you found out?

( in another conversation, he'd laugh at those descriptions and indeed guess which she is! but as it is... )

[gamora]

We left. I wasn't going to stick around. Adam and I joined up again later when he decided we'd be better off teaming up with whatever was left of the team.

[velveteened]

( them leaving isn't the surprising part; it's them coming back that he thinks on. maybe this adam did think so, say as much, but he doesn't see gamora returning unless she wants to. which is — something, at least. )

And because not being on the team was boring?

( it's a joke, mostly, from what he can imagine her saying: something like, "it was quiet and peaceful after leaving which was stupid" )

[gamora]

No, Adam and I had our own share of fun and excitement.

( 'having fun and working up a sweat' were her own words describing what she and adam were doing.

fighting. they were fighting. )

[velveteened]

( he knows her enough to at least have an inkling of what 'fun and excitement' means to someone like gamora )

It seems like there's excitement no matter where you go.

[gamora]

It's a big universe, and someone's always trying to flark it up.

[velveteened]

I think that must be true everywhere.

[gamora]

Doesn't make it less annoying.

[velveteened]

That must be true everywhere too!
