If there is a correlation between "rocket" and "explosions", I'm afraid it's gone over my head.

[ They don't have rockets where he comes from. Yet strangely enough they have missiles? #justfinalfantasythings

But fiddly semantics aside, he casts Rocket a look of surprise. ]

A whole planet? Truly?

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, some rockets explode. Others fly. [Both of those things apply to him.

Anyway. That's not important. What is important? BRAGGONG.]

Yep! A whole sentient planet. He was basically a god.

[verflair]

[ Well now he's just confused, because the only Rocket he knows is the one in front of him currently, and he has neither flown nor exploded. He'll just take that to mean it's the name of something else as well and drop it for now. ]

Dare I ask why you would need to blow up a sentient planet-slash-basically a god?

[beatupgrass]

'Cause he was gonna destroy the universe.

[He shrugs- still very pleased with himself.] Typical day for the Guardians of the Galaxy.

[verflair]

That’s quite the moniker. You have a team, then?

[ Are they all raccoons? ]

[beatupgrass]

Eh. We didn't pick it.

[They just sort of decided it was cool and stuck with it. As one does.]

They're all mostly in stasis right now, but I did.

[verflair]

[ X'rhun is a Crimson Duelist. He gets the whole Cool Name Thing. ]

Ah, such is the way with most of us. Save for a pupil of mine, the rest of my comrades still sleep.

[beatupgrass]

They're missin' out. [He gestures at X'rhun's minimalist attire.] This is the kind of sick shit that Quill would be delighted to take part in just for the hell of it.

[verflair]

I’m not entirely certain if that was a slight against me or your comrades, or both.

[ Probably both. ]

But speaking of “this shit”, as you so kindly say, I should probably get back to the task at hand. Care to tag along, if only to point and laugh from a distance?

[beatupgrass]

[Definitely both.

Rocket shrugs.]

Why not? If you get eaten, maybe the dragon'll get all lethargic and I can tell the owners where t' find it and take the money for myself.

[well at least he's honest.]

[verflair]

[ He is at that, and X’rhun barks out a laugh. ]

You may as well. It’s not as if I’ll have any use for it in a dragon’s belly.

[ Make sure his sacrifice isn't in vain, Rocket. ]
