video; un: ROCKET | happiness is a warm gun

[beatupgrass]

[Here we have Rocket, our local raccoonoid, contributing his part of the planning.]

So I don't know shit about dragons, but I do know a few things about fightin' giant monsters, and I want these dudes to fail so bad in their stupid plan that they die humiliated. That would give me an extreme amount of satisfaction. So! I got a proposal.

See, everybody's got their little contributions to this cause, and this is mine- I build things. Specifically, I build gadgets. Tech, weapons, bombs... Mostly those last two. The problem is that unless y'all want me to start ripping non-essentials off the station while those Natha jerks are off on vacation or whatever, I don't have the materials to arm everybody who wants it.

Ergo if you want bigger and badder weapons, you need to come to Wyver and bring me whatever you got that I can make something worth your while with. We'll discuss the payment particulars later.

Promises, promises.

( even if he said "with what little i got". ) I'm helping Kirk fix some stuff up on the station, but if you go knocking on anyone's doors for supplies and want back-up, give me a call.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, sure. Wish I had time to raid Evras's place again, but it's too risky right now.

[motivation]

Offer stands.

( a beat. )

Ever fought a dragon before?

[beatupgrass]

I fought a planet, a genocidal maniac with a magic frickin' rock, and one ugly sonuvabitch from another dimension.

No dragons, though. How hard can it be?

[Famous last words.]

[motivation]

How the hells did you fight a whole planet?

[beatupgrass]

It was more like a god shaped like a planet?

I didn't really get into the details of it before I started trying to commit to the murder part of it. Dude was bad news.

[motivation]

I'm impressed.

[beatupgrass]

You should be. Pretty sure no one else can claim that, 'cause destroy is way different than kill.

Destroying planets is a dick move. Destroying moons, on the other hand... That can be fun.

[motivation]

As someone who used to dock on a moon a lot, I sure as hells hope you only have fun destroying the uninhabited ones.

[beatupgrass]

Some planets have more than one and they're not doing anything with 'em. It's like decluttering quadrants.

[motivation]

Some planets to too much with theirs.

[beatupgrass]

I can tell the difference, Dutch. Don't worry.

*do asdfl i can type

Good boy.

( despite the words, her tone isn't condescending. )
