[Lance is holding out the communicator in front of him as he walks, the background showing that he's on his way to the train. He gives a grin and a wave with his other hand.]

Yoooo, everyone! So I'm about to hop on the train to this other city, but I think I'm a little late to the party. So before I amble around like a lost tourist, does anyone have any suggestions of what's hopping around there? I mean. Figuratively. I don't think we're gonna find some awesome dance club or anything. But maybe there's some cool stuff to check out, or useful stuff we can bring back?



[Space Target]

[Well, it's been a while since he's been in a department store. And by the looks of it, it just might have some cool things to take. Part of him feels bad, thinking that it's shoplifting, but it's not like there are any cashiers to check out with! ...Or money to use. Yeah. It's cool.

For now, Lance hums to himself as he browses through the aisles. Clothes are definitely up on the list of things to get. And maybe he can find things that could be useful for his and Keith's eventual wedding...?]

Ah! You wish to speak to Peter Quill. He likes dancing. He attempted to show me how he dances. Said it helped him win a battle against Ronan the Accuser.

I am not certain I believe him, for his dancing seemed to be bad kicking.

[the_tailor]

Wha.

[He'll just be staring at the camera.]

A literal dance battle? I gotta hear the full story for that.

[kree_soldieress]

This is a thing then? That one can compete in martial conflict by this ‘dancing’ thing?

It has never been taught to the Kree. Perhaps this is why he won?

[the_tailor]

I mean, usually when someone thinks "dance battle", it's people having a dance-off. And you decide the winner based on who's the better dancer. I've never heard of someone using dancing to actually fight a legit fight, though. I mean, I think there's a style of dance or two that kinda look like martial arts?

[kree_soldieress]

If there is a winner decided, there must be a judge. Or are there specific points gained for different dance moves?

[the_tailor]

I've never actually been to one myself. I think it might change depending? There's probably some more technical ones that do assign points, but I think for the most part they're pretty informal and subjective. Like, someone just judges, or the crowd judges and whoever gets the louder cheers wins?

[kree_soldieress]

If they are subjective, then how can one ever be certain that they have indeed succeeded in being the best?

[This is actually a little distressing to her. How does one prove they are the best if it is all subjective?]

[the_tailor]

Well, you have a point there... I guess if you see the other person and realize that yeah, okay, they outclassed me, it's fine. Or agree on the subjective terms, like the judge or the people deciding. Not that everyone's gonna think that, though, I guess...

[kree_soldieress]

[This is a lot to process.]

And all humans do this?

[the_tailor]

Definitely not all humans. Just the people into that kinda hobby.

[kree_soldieress]

I was not aware it is a hobby. If I knew of that I would have tried to ask Carol about it. Humans tend to believe Kree should have hobbies.

[the_tailor]

Dancing in general is a hobby in itself. But people passionate about it sometimes get into competitions, yeah. And...Kree? Is that what you are?

[Humans usually aren't blue, so he'd figured already that she wasn't human.]

[kree_soldieress]

[Yes, she is Kree. Very smart. She smiles at that.]

Competitions among my people tend to be in matters of martial prowess.

And yes, I am Kree.

[the_tailor]

Humans have loooooads of different competitions between them. Fighting's one of them, though.

I've never heard of the Kree before, but honestly, the universe is a huge place. Definitely learned that traveling it. Plus, the multiverse or whatever... But yeah! It's really nice to meet you. My name's Lance. I'm, well, obviously a human.

[kree_soldieress]

Oh yes, multiverse indeed. For instance, humans on Earth in my world know of the Kree

[the_tailor]

Oooooh. Okay. So, different universe too. Humans on my Earth didn't really know of or see aliens until really, really recently.

[Not until the invasion, really...]

[kree_soldieress]

Ah, that is probably for hte best. Many groups of aliens who travel the universe are not nice ones.
