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?


[SPAM]

[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.]

[...Uh.

That is a talking raccoon wearing a jumpsuit. Duke stares for a minute, then tries to blink his surprise away. New arrivals are new arrivals, and this isn't the strangest thing he's seen on board (especially not after the similar-to-Ewoks). Gawking won't do anyone any favors.

I think you've heard we're neither. What are you -- is there anything you need?

[ The Cat could hear the raccoon crawling around in the ducts, just as easily as he could hear the muttered curses. He was, after all, a cat, with excellent hearing as well as some added magical bonuses.

That's how he followed Rocket and is able to meet him as he comes out of a grate, tail still and gaze level. He's curious about the creature, but also amused that it felt the need to crawl around in the ductworks. ]

Kryptonian. What are you?

[HAHAHA IT'S A RACCOON THIS IS HYSTERICAL; getting it chased out of here is going to be hell for the guards.

... Is her reaction for approximately three seconds, before she remembers that everything here is weird and a raccoon wandering the halls might not be as unusual here as it would be at Litchfield. She's met a talking cat, after all.

Still, it's a wild animal, and she's going to keep her distance even as she addresses it (him? her?). Maybe space rabies is a thing.]


Are you one of the talking ones?

And I'm a person.

You do realize this likely isn't your galaxy? Or even your universe? Whatever's happening there, this universe isn't about to get 'shredded.' [No, don't ask her to explain. It's taken just about all of her mental agility to accept there can be more than one universe. She sure as hell doesn't know how they co-exist or how one gets from one to the other.]


Don't be rude, Rocky. I may not be an intergalactic criminal but I can tell the difference between technology and magic, even if it's technology I've never seen before.

The alternate universe is a good start about where you ended up. [And this is never an easy conversation to have. Especially with someone so furry and cute.]

You're on the Barge. A ship that travels through space, through different dimensions. Most of us here come from different places, so it's likely you've never heard about things from my world, too.

[ You're damn right cats are better than dogs. This one especially, who watches the raccoon-thing with those violet eyes of his. He can sense no magic in the thing, which means it is almost certainly not a raccoon.

The Cat meows, but somewhere on the way to Rocket's brain it seems to translate itself into human speech. ]


Neither.

That would be in your file.

Unless you happen to be a warden.

Hello Rocket. My name is Kara. [ He might not be friendly, but damned if she won't be. ]

A Kryptonian is a person from Krypton. [ Duh. ]

[Duke spends a moment imagining where this guy might have come from, and it's something rather like a mix between Narnia and The Matrix.

It worries him.


As far as I know, no galaxies going supernova around here. That's the good news.

The bad news is that we have no idea where we are. We could be a thousand light-years away from your galaxy or mine.

Where are you from, by the way? My name's Duke. Duke Crocker.

Really? [Well, now, that she did not expect. And damn it, it's going to take the rest of the day to get that song out of her head.

She rolls her eyes. She needs to get Stephen Hawking on speed dial 'cause it's going to take a bigger brain than hers to explain this.]


And just how am I supposed to prove it? I don't even know which universe I'm in at this particular moment and I know nothing about yours. I can't very well make a point by point comparison.
