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.]

[Luna, with wide blue eyes and an entranced sort of smile, stares blissfully back at Rocket, playing with her hair]

I'm a witch.

What's a Kree? Is that what you are?

[One of the few nitpicks Iris has about the barge in general is that the population's always so heavily skewed towards humans. It's not that she doesn't like humans; hell, Iris loves humans. She just feels that a multidimensional magic space prison ship has no excuse for failing at species diversity.

That's not the only reason she looks utterly delighted by the sight of a stroppy, destructive raccoon on her comm screen. It's not even the main one. She's been trying and failing for two years to talk Panda into coming here; but the multiverse has seen fit to offer her a wonderfully near parallel instead. She already wants to hug him.]


Welcome aboard, sweetheart. We're not either of them things, as it 'appens. And maybe not as screwed as you think, either; mind you, that's always debateable.

I'm Iris. What are Kree and Nova?

I've never heard of Nova before. Are they witches too?

I suppose it's possible, if very rare, to be something and not know what it is.

Stopping other baddies from taking over completely different universes, mostly, petal. Well, and working 'ere, which may technically be a universe all of its own.

D'you drink, Rocket love?

To be honest, it was the only thing I could think of to say to a talking raccoon.

[Loki was in the dining hall but he was people watching and observing things more than eating. When Rocket strode in so determined, Loki looked amused. There was certainly something you did not see every day... and it looked like it might provide some entertainment. So he stood up and approached.]

You have not come to work in the kitchens, have you...?

[His tone was amused and teasing somehow, as if he already thought the raccoon was some sort of joke - and there just needed to be a punchline.]

'Breeder' hearts? [That's an odd term. Odd terms are his favorite.] I'm almost afraid to ask where you're from.

Oh, you 'ave no idea, lovey.

[She even means it.]


Pub's up on deck. Come see for yourself.

[ Stephen blinks. He'd assumed it was like Narnia - one of those worlds where there were talking, upright creatures. ]

It's a mammal. Native to North America, and usually a bit smaller than you are and not upright. Um, very adaptable, can live in the forest and the city equally well. People thought of them like tricksters, sort of clever, because of the [ he gestures at his face ] the fur patterns, looking a bit like a mask or paint stripes. Also the hands. They're not sentient where I come from, but they can still learn how to open doors and jar lids.

[ A flat look. He'd be more articulate if he'd prepared a lecture, but, come on. ]

It puts the raccoon in a rare class. Only a few species on Earth can manipulate objects that way - primates, cephalopods. Not that it stops corvids from trying.

Neither - so maybe not as screwed as you think. Although that'd depend on your definition of screwed.

[Pause.] Bounty hunt gone bad?

Probably not... but you'd have to tell me what it is, first.

I am really good at improvising.

But I'm guessing you won't have to worry about it for a while, while you're on board, at least.

[He shakes his head.] Nope. Army. Earth. Unless you know what SHIELD is.
