first escape

[VIDEO - public]

[When the feed clicks on, there's what appears to be a raccoon staring at the screen, teeth bared and lips pulled back into what might be a vicious smile, if smiling was a thing raccoons were capable of. He's dressed in what can only be called a jumpsuit, made of red fabric and dark leather, and if the utter chaos that can be seen behind him is any indication, he's not exactly thrilled to be there.

When he speaks, however, there's no trace of that, only sharp humor and the kind of arrogance that says this is only a setback. Temporary.]


Two joints in two days? I'm flattered, really, wasting all that time and money on little ol' me. Sorry about that last one, but if you look in the depths of your measly breeder hearts it was a cakewalk and you know it.

So who are you, Nova or Kree? Not that it matters. We're all screwed either way, right?

[They'd given him a communicator, and honestly that was all he needed to know about the place. They were soft, they were stupid. He'd be out of here in no time, and never mind Ronnan and his stupid giant hammer. If the Galaxy was doomed he didn't want to be anywhere near the center of it, and okay, so what was the point, he knew that, but survival instinct was strong.

First order of business after seeing what bit on the network was seeing what he had to work with, including the comm. Depending on how it worked, what kind it was, he could use it to hack or blow something up or at least zap something, but when he pulled it apart it exploded, showering him in confetti and multicolored string and Styrofoam pellets. What the hell...?

So much for that plan. Whatever, he'd figure out something else. Had to be plenty of patsies to work, every place had at least one.

He ventured outside the cell after that, roamed the halls he found on the other side, and it was way nicer than anyplace he'd been before, way too cushy for a real prison, but he could work that too.

He worked his way into the ductwork, easy enough with his size and claws, peeked a head out wherever he found a grate; other cells, communal bathrooms, a gym, a library... A few wouldn't open, so he scratched and clawed and pulled and cursed at them, eventually moving on when they didn't give. Had to find a tool for it, he'd come up with something. Come back to it.

He found the deck, climbed the railing to stare at the stars, try to pick out where in the universe they were. If he could figure out where he could maybe figure out a way off, somebody to contact, something to take advantage of. He found the mess eventually, ventured in when he finally got hungry enough, walked across the floor like he owned the place, like he wasn't two feet tall (and he knew that was being generous). Like he was somebody not to be messed with.]

Plans never do survive contact with the enemy. Sounds like you've got your hands full.

The Asgard. And the Chitauri.

There's one of the former on board, actually. He's the one that brought the Chitauri to Earth.

He's an inmate. [Naturally.]

Never heard of it. Which I guess isn't shocking since I've never left Earth.

Witches don't tend to be police officers. Or, well, some do, but I think they might be involved in a conspiracy.

It's an excellent record. Of course, a really good criminal wouldn't have needed to escape twenty-three times. A really good criminal wouldn't have gotten caught twenty-three times.

[So there, Mr. Hot Shot Raccoon.]

Well, my point is we're not all dying here. [She hopes. Not permanently at least.] The math is really quite simple: stay on the ship and live or leave the ship and die. Horribly. In the vacuum of space where they say no one can hear you scream.

I'm not sure there are. Everyone seems to arrive and depart by...magic. [Yes, she's aware of how ridiculous that sounds. It also happens to be true.]

[Connor, having grown up literally in the woods, is not that unaccustomed to seeing wild animals. He's hunted raccoons and sold their skins, so it's not like he doesn't have intimate knowledge of what a raccoon is. They can stand on their hind legs. He knows that.

But they don't usually walk on their hind legs. Or wear clothing. Or just kind of roll on up like they're not actually wild animals.

He's sitting at a table with a cup of tea that he's completely forgotten about because he's too busy staring.]
punched_hitler: ([ta] are you sure this is a good idea)

If you say so, [he says mildly - not totally sarcastically, but he's still not sure he believes you. But he guesses he'll take your word for it.] Do you plan to do something about it?

[He lets out an almost tired laugh. God, he's not sure he's ever been involved in a crazier fight.] Is it? I sure hope it's uphill from there, then, because that was a hell of a fight.

Always a quality I look for in a bloke, that.

[She slips behind the bar to fetch beer, and brings along a bottle of whiskey as well; partly in case Rocket decides he wants chasers, but mostly because Iris isn't a great beer fan herself.

When she comes back, she takes in Rocket's tension and the dogs' eagerness: Elvis is already doing the thing where he creeps forwards on his belly because he is stealth dog and clearly no one will notice him as long as he stays down.]


...that's not going to work, is it. Boys. Go 'ome.

[The dogs are reluctant - surely you can't mean it, Mum! - and Elvis manages to walk sideways out of the pub door so that he can keep his eyes and ears fixed on Rocket till the last possible second, but eventually they leave.]


There. They still won't bite if you don't bite 'em first, but I'll keep 'em off your tail anyway. So Novacorps are your local law enforcement? Who do they work for, exactly?

No one's ever escaped from this prison.

I know that they wanted staff and they asked me but...

[A smirk.]

Do you need some assistance there? A lift, perhaps?

There was a little question of poisoning. They have to be able to trust their workers here.

[He continues to watch Rocket with a look of amusement.]
