[Hello, Wonderland.

This is an unfeasibly large gun.

In fact, that's pretty much the entire broadcast right now- the four barrels of an unfeasibly large laser cannon. Off-screen, presumably wielding said unfeasibly large cannon, a Brooklyn-accented voice speaks up.]


I've been here two hours and I ain't heard any demands, so I hope I'm not stealin' your thunder if I skip the theatrics and move right on to the negotiation process. [There's a pause and then a dry laugh.] Oh, who am I kiddin'. I don't give a shit about your thunder. You took somethin' what belongs to me. Four somethings actually. They go by the names Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, and Groot. They are completely helpless without me, so I get why you'd think they were the ones to kidnap. This will still go down in history as the dumbest move of your lives, so way to think strategically, you d'ast imbeciles.

Here's my terms. If I don't see all four of 'em alive 'n breathin' in the next six seconds, I'm gonna put a round in this communicator just for the hell of it. And then I'm gonna put about eight more rounds in your face. And after that I'll get real creative.

[The gun is lowered. And there is one pissed off raccoon now staring into the screen.] Do I make myself perfectly freakin' clear?

[Steve doesn't judge. It's a baffling concept and there's still no real explanation for how it all happens.]

I don't know why, but it's a universal thing. It's almost a good thing, seeing how often people tend to die here. [He hasn't, except for that time on the Oregon Trail and he's not sure that even counts.]

Whatever powers this place must be able to revive people too. But after five death, the story goes things start to get weird.
assembles: (that's gross)

[If only some of the serial killers here had the same concerns as Rocket. Instead, they've found ways to kill without their victim ever seeing them, and that's even more infuriating.]

It's more or less a mystery. [Steve says more or less because there was in fact a report from someone who's died five times, recorded in the resistance notebook. But fuzzy or not, Rocket's still a stranger and Steve doesn't think he should be sharing those kind of personal details with him.] I guess the bottom line is that whatever it is, it isn't good.

Now you're getting the hang of it. [Steve smiles grimly.] Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
assembles: down, neutral, unsure (sounds plausible)

It sounds like you can adapt pretty well, if you've traveled through different parts of space.

[And been imprisoned on various planets. To Rocket, this is probably just another Tuesday.]

This cell isn't that easy to jailbreak from, though. You might want to prepare yourself to be here for a while.
assembles: (a good face)

[That's something they can agree on. It may be a while, years even, but they'll get out of here eventually.

Nothing lasts forever.]


You will. Feel free to drop a line if you have any other questions.

[With that, Steve ends the call.]
