[Quill's lounging in the curve of a ruin, his feet up on a protruding piece of rock, a drink in one hand as he holds his comm device with the other]

Hey, listen, I know you're all really busy with your Geraldo versus Donahue thing, and that Southern lady's doing her best to be Sally Jesse without the shoulder pads? But I'm gettin' real tired of the daytime talk show, and there's nothing else on here except maybe knockoff Cheers. And your robot Sam doesn't even have a Diane, so it's pretty awful.

I touched that glowy thing in the middle of town and it put some weeeeeeird-ass junk in my head, which, hey, not the first time I touched a magic rock and it did stuff? But I'd love a little more to go on than that.

When you're not busy.

[Does one always have to be doing something? Well, Lark likes doing things. And she smiled as she watched him, because this made no sense.]

That is not suitable for combat.

I can never remember if it's Ronin or Ronan, please help

[puddledancer]

Says you! It's legit. I took Ronin down with a dance-off! Well, I helped.

Ronin are samurai without masters. Ronan is an accuser.

[Lauri-Ell just stares at him for a moment, and then shakes her head.]

No, you did not take him down with a 'dance off,' whatever that is. He was a very well trained and highly decorated Kree warrior. He would not be defeated with dance.

Thank you! Wasn't sure if they named him that *because* of the samurai term :P

"I said I helped," he clarified. "The dance-off distracted him, and then Rocket shot the Infinity Stone straight out of the Weapon with his giant chest gun thingie he invented. I forget what he called it, it was ridiculous."

I have no clue tbh

[kree_soldieress]

Oh she has so many issues with this statement. Many many issues.

"Why did Ronan process one of the gems? That is not a good thing for him to have. Or anyone."

[puddledancer]

"One word," he says with a disgusted roll of his eyes. "Thanos."

[kree_soldieress]

"He worked with the Mad Titan?" Lauri-Ell asked, sounding quite horrified. That was not okay, not okay at all.

[puddledancer]

"Sure did. Two of his daughters, Gamora and Nebula, were with him. Gamora cut loose and betrayed him - she's how we were able to stop him. Kind of a long story. Even longer when you figure Nebula eventually ended up coming over to our side too. When two of your kids cut bait and decide to help other people kick your butt, you just gotta face the fact that maybe you're a pretty shitty dad, am I right?"

[kree_soldieress]

Gamora, now there was a name she knew of. But she nodded along in agreement.

"Yes. Many would agree that Thanos is not a good father. Among other things he is not very good at. But I am sorry that you have found a Kree willing to serve him."
