video ;; un: gamora - filtered from Peter Quill

[justlethal]

[Hi. It is a green skinned lady popping up, and it is clear that she's still debating whether or not this is the best idea that she has had. Regardless, she seems to have committed herself, and lets a breath out.]

Hello. My name is Gamora.

[As she has finally caught on that yes, one should introduce themselves at the beginning, instead of somewhere near the middle or end, or you know, never at all.]

I seek those Earthians- Terrans- humans- that are familiar with the year one thousand nine hundred and eighty of your planet. As it is fairly obvious, I am not human, and I am not overly familiar with the body. I wish to know more of the culture during the years surrounding that decade. I've-

[And another pause. A friend?  That seems too impersonal considering, although Peter's terminology doesn't exactly roll easily off the tongue. Lover seems... not quite right either. And she's going to change paths here.]

I seek to obtain a gift for someone who was on Earth during those years. He enjoys music and has the little box you can obtain, but I am looking for other items. He likes the movie about loose feet with the not literal sticks up the ass and the tale of Davis Husslehog and his talking- [No, not ship. What exactly was it...] Vehicle? What else was popular or akin to those?

[Since he didn't whine to her the first time about it...]

I wouldn't be so certain about that.

[hot_handed]

I don't fucking care. Like I said, not my problem, Asshole Assassin.

[He shrugs, his eye twitching in irritation. There were plenty of other strong people to fight here.]

[justlethal]

Gamora.

[And go bother them.]

[hot_handed]

Yeah I like mine better. Besides, I don't remember the names of weaklings.

[justlethal]

Do your tantrums usually work in goading others to fight you?

[hot_handed]

Ta-

DO YOUR PATRONIZING QUIPS USUALLY WORK ON COWARDS?! YOU WANNA GO, MOST DISAPPOINTING ASSASSIN IN THE UNIVERSE, E.T.?! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

[His palms pop, and he ruins the pencil he was holding, turning it to ash.]

[justlethal]

I've no reason to fight anyone, let alone you.

[hot_handed]

Fucking coward! Fuck you and your shitty domestic bullshit!

[justlethal]

[Yup. Not insulted by that. She's... learning, which is something that she does want to do, even though Peter is arguably far better at the whole domestic bullshit. Not just be a weapon for a man that she hates.]

Work on your approach in the future, and I might consider it.

[hot_handed]

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[He doesn't Get It. Either you fight someone, or you don't. It's simple.]

[justlethal]

[Which is a bit rich coming from Gamora, since her own social skills can be lacking.]

Introduce yourself, Katsuki, say you're a friend of Peter's, and you'd like a friendly spar one day.

[Yup, she sent to the source and got his name.]

[hot_handed]

...Just because the idiot forgot to mention you're psychic or some shit doesn't make me scared of you.

Besides, I can't introduce myself now, that's stupid.

[justlethal]

[She is- what? Right, and he was saying she only had half a brain cell.]

I'm not psychic. Peter gave the name.

[hot_handed]

Running to your idiot boyfriend like a coward.

[He scoffs, growling and folding his arms.]

FUCK! I have to go cook lunch for Icy Hot, try not to die, Asshole.

[justlethal]

Deadliest, not strongest. And there's no weakness in gaining intelligence.

[Now he is starting to get under her skin.

Although there are many unanswered questions. Like, why a pencil? What does that have to do with Footloose or the Rider show?

She gives a small roll of her eyes at the die and asshole part.]

I've had no issues until now and I don't think I will going forward.

[hot_handed]

The only deadly thing about you is how much you butcher vintage Earth pop culture.

[He rolls his eyes and snorts, leaning back in his chair more and more until he accidentally starts to tip over and has to scramble back up.]

Guess you wouldn't if you don't got the spine to seek shit out.

[justlethal]

[Considering she doesn't even know what that means in the sum of it's whole parts. Not human. Never been to Earth. And they have strange names and premises...

And yes, don't think she doesn't notice. She does.]

No. I just do not feel the need to piss on every tree that I see.

[hot_handed]

Guess you're just a sapling and I'm a Yakushima Cedar.

[justlethal]

[That isn't even what she was- She gives him a long look before letting a breath out.]

I have no idea what a Yakushima Cedar is, aside from a tree.

[hot_handed]

It's a big fucking tree. You're the one who started with the tree talk.

[justlethal]

Trees. As in marking territory for dominance. No being a tree.

[As in she doesn't need or want to fight everything just to prove she is the best. It's irrelevant. That much she knows now.]

[hot_handed]

You piss on trees?

[justlethal]

Are you from Earth?

[hot_handed]

Yeah I'm from Earth, doesn't mean I piss on trees! That shit's unsanitary.

[justlethal]

That's not even- It's a saying. Like people with sticks up their butts. They don't actually have the sticks up their butts.

[So she has learned.]
