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.

Oh man, that is nice. And that's a lot of power for a handgun. When you described it, I thought it was gonna be a frickin' cannon.

[via text no can see you drool.]

[impavid]

[ Okay but you can't keep it, Rocket. ]

Hence my desire to fix it so I can aim it at a dragon's head.

[beatupgrass]

[rude.]

Well, you're asking the right guy. Any other moron here's liable to get their face melted off.

[impavid]

[ This list of morons includes John, who did spend a heart-stopping few seconds fiddling before he realised he had no idea what he was doing and also that it was a very bad idea. ]

I'm glad to hear it, you've come highly reccomended.

[ A partial lie but who's counting, flattery sometimes gets you discounts. ]

I don't have much in the way of relevant gun parts but I have one piece of a push to talk radio set I can give up as payment. I have nobody to talk to with it right now it may as well be recycled for the greater good.

[beatupgrass]

You have yet to begin seeing what I can make outta basically nothing. Quill has a lot of junk on his ship that's been re-purposed.

[So proud of himself.]

Incidentally, though, who was your reference? I wanna know who I gotta thank for spreading the good word that is me.

[impavid]

I think they'd prefer to stay anonymous. You know, wouldn't want to embarrass them or anything.

[ Also he strongly suspects Jessica would just be angry. ]

So, think you can take a look next time I'm in your area? I'm out in Khalo right now.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, I bet. [That... doesn't narrow it down any. It just eliminates Prompto, Mantis, and Gamora. Oh well.]

Sure thing, man. Door's open... 'Cause we apparently have a door. Those sky mansions are way more complicated than they look.

[impavid]

[ Okay, but -- ]

Are doors not normal where you're from?

[ ... Actually, a raccoon, so. Huh. It's true raccoons don't use doors. Maybe that's it? ]

[beatupgrass]

No... we just have aero-rigs so we fly up through the balcony and never use the door.

[impavid]

Your balcony doesn't have a door either?

[ I mean sure, it'd require getting up there but, isn't that a security hazard... ]

[beatupgrass]

It's open air and leads straight into the mansion. Do you want weapons or do you wanna talk architecture?
