[ Not to say he isn't interested in the rest though — since it seems like there are cats around here, he might as well know what they're supposed to be.
But ho ho ho raccoon? ]
Who you calling a raccoon???
There ain't nothing in this galaxy like me. Don't you forget it.
[ But anyway. Context switching. ]
What do I look for? Some kind of hatch on the ground?
no subject
hard to miss
but back up a second there i want to ask about the other thing
if youre not a raccoon then what the fuck are you
because i saw your fuzzy little mammal face clear as day right there
like
lemme set this straight first that im not going to give you shit whatever the story is behind it
i dont do that
id be a goddamn hypocrite if i did
but whats the answer if you dont know about a basic trash eating earth animal that troubled housewives regularly call pest control about
whats the rest of the galaxy got to do with it
honest question since not everyone comes from the same universe around here
no subject
First, never say or text raccoon to me ever again douchebag.
Second, the universe has a million galaxies in it. Just one galaxy has thousands of planets, and some of those planets actually have life on them.
How in the world am I supposed to know about the one's on this one when I've never been here?
[ But also because he kinda likes whoever this feathery douchebag is — Rocket appreciates a certain I-don't-care-but-I-want-to-be-clear bluntness, it's probably Gamora rubbing off on him — he actually keeps going. ]
You actually from this place?
Also I think I might have found that trap door.
no subject
im not from HERE but im from an earth yeah
an earth in a different universe than this one which also doesnt exist anymore
science wasnt advanced enough in my time for people to have gone any further than our own moon but theres definitely people around who have more space stuff in their worlds
my best friend here is an alien from a culture that was conquering their galaxy for centuries
so youve got a pretty good variety of people who will be more up that speed
anyway where you go from there depends what area you want to get to
have you seen the map yet
theres that and a building guide that will tell you whats where
no subject
Some day he's going to get you back. Preferably in your sleep, with something stupid. ]
That's the second time I've heard someone tell me about a different Earth? What's going on here? You ever see a shiny stone that kills people when you touch it around here?
[ You know, just casually checking. An infinity stone wrecking this place up would explain a lot. ]
You should ask your best friend if he likes being called an alien.
And yeah I've got the map.
Where's the scale on this thing?
no subject
1 no i havent seen a shiny stone that kills people when they touch it
anomalies knock people unconscious when they touch them but those are monsters and not shiny rocks
so pretty much unrelated to whatever youre talking about
2 him and me are mutual aliens so we rag on each other about cultural junk all the time
hes used to it
im used to it
its cool
3 there isnt a listed scale
the squares are pretty even though and you get a feel for how much space one takes up after a while
how far you can actually travel depends on how ridiculous the weather is that day but down in the tunnels that doesnt matter
youre out of the snow
youre safe from lockdown too
like if youre traveling above ground you gotta get inside somewhere before 8 pm each night or youll be locked out to freeze to death
bonus number 4 whats your name anyway
im davesprite
no subject
If you do ever see one, tell me.
I'll save the day/us/everyone/it'll be great.
2. Sounds like you've got that all worked out.
[ Despite the sass, he's actually kinda impressed. ]
3. Yeah that's what I hear.
The freezing to death part.
4. Hi alien davesprite.
Rocket.
[ He doesn't know what's happening. But he actually finds this person tolerable. ]
no subject
2 yep
3 try not to do it yourself because it sucks
4 rocket raccoon sounds like the kind of thing you would see out of a saturday morning cartoon
but if raccoon isnt the word you use then what exactly are you
for all i know maybe aliens where you come from just look like earth mammals
tell me whats up and ill let you know what i am
no subject
If you want to keep talking you'll cut raccoon out of your vocabulary.
[ He says that with love. Promise.
But in reality, this might be the first time in a long time that he'd be willing to tell someone that he doesn't know. But Rocket's certainly not doing it if he has to see the word "raccoon" in every other message. ]
no subject
is youre being a dog with a stick in its mouth
and youre telling me to throw the stick for you without letting go of it first
if you want me to stop calling you raccoon then you gotta tell me what the real thing to call you is
dumbass
no subject
Rocket does not respond. ]
no subject
rocket
rocket
hey
hey
rocket ship
rocket launcher
rocket fuel
rocket science
space rocket
bottle rocket
hey
hey dude
hey
hey
tell me
what are you
private
[ He kinda likes Rocket Launcher, to be honest. ]
private
just give me a straight answer and ill lay off for good
promise
private, ongoing
I don't *have* a species.
[ Okay, the way he's answering is a little more aggro than he expected, but then again, what else was Rocket expecting? That he'd like talking about this? ]
None of the animals on my planet did.
no subject
damn
is there a story behind that or is that just how it was
i know i was jabbing at you just a minute ago when you were being stubborn but for real im not going to give you shit about this
no subject
Maybe I'll tell you sometime.
[ Because there's no way that right now, Rocket's ready to go there. Especially with a dude he just met on basically the network. Even if he likes him more than he normally likes anyone. ]
The short of it is that
Any animal I saw on my planet? There was only one of us.
Except the humans. There were too many damn humans.
no subject
fair enough
im a thing called a sprite
which is made of other stuff put together
theres a whole story behind that too but whatever its not important at the moment
the point is it means im half crow half human and the rest is just easier to show you
[At which point he swaps over to video and waves a very orange hand at the tablet. He pans the view to give a good look, from the wings down to the tail that forms his lower body instead of legs, before returning back to his face.]
'Sup?
no subject
His reactions to this whole thing are easily readable, because Rocket makes no effort to hide the fact that he leans in closer to the screen, even as his paw flips the settings to turn his own video settings on. He doesn't hide how wide his eyes open when he first sees the color orange everywhere, or how he just laughs when the crow human waves.
But that laugh — it feels like Rocket's only just realized that maybe outside of him, Groot, and the others back home in Halfworld, there are other messed up creatures in the galaxy that hesitate to show themselves, and one of them is here, stuck on this planet with him. ]
Sup. [ He says back, his head tilting up in a motion of recognition. Then, after a beat: ] So is your tail part of the crow part, or the human part?
[ There's just a subtle little bit of difference in his tone than what he's been sending in his texts. He treats humans one way, non-humans another, even if Rocket isn't entirely conscious as to how it comes out. And since he's speaking to someone who's half and half, well, there's still a little bit of a difference. Not friendlier perse, but more like ... more like he actually gives a shit. ]
no subject
That? That's the sprite part. Every sprite's got a tail down there no matter what they're made of. That's why I'm looking like humanoid citrus, too, while I'm at it. Weird colors are just par for the course.
no subject
[ And his questions are still weird, but you can tell by the way Rocket asks he's not doing it to make fun. Wherever he comes from, it's either accepted to ask these kinds of questions, or Rocket just has no sense of social interaction. ]
Do you glow in the dark? [ There's literally no reason why he should think so, but sometimes orange means radioactive. ] Wait- can you actually fly?
[ And Rocket really has NO IDEA what prompts him to share this, but: ] One of the best creatures I know is a tree. I think he'd like you.
no subject
A tree? Sure, why not.
[After knowing a cat that's a living constellation, he'll buy anything.]
But nah, the only part of me that glows is my blood, with or without the dark. And I could fly, but all I can do here is float a couple inches off the ground. Even then I'm probably only allowed that much here because I wouldn't be able to get around otherwise.
[He turns his head to look at his wing as he unfolds it halfway.]
I can flap these all I want and not accomplish much more than looking like a moron. They're not much better than having a big, feathery cape right now.
no subject
[ Yup. That reckless...tree friend. Rocket swears he's real. As for the fact that Davesprite can't actually fly with his wings, Rocket's whiskers twitch a little as he furrows his white eyebrows. ]
Are you telling me that whatever's going on here, it's making it so that you can't actually fly?
no subject
Yep. They've got nanomachines in us here; they're what keep us alive against the radiation. But the tradeoff is that any special abilities people have get nerfed down to nothing or near to it. My guess is that the only reason I can still float at all is so I don't lose my tail to frostbite, and I'm traveling with a talking cat who can open doors or zippers with his mind so that he's not totally helpless without people around. But beyond that? I might as well be a normal human, for all I can do.
no subject
So those nanomachines are real. [ He's sound annoyed more than anything else. But the rest of it makes sense too — how he's somehow shown up with only a few tools, and none of them are working right. ]
So what, can they make us dance whenever they want to? [ A universal they for whoever their kidnappers are. ]
