@patchworkfables (Rocket) sent: “you can’t keep an eye on me twenty four seven.”

protector/protectee starters

Rocket was alive. They all were. And truly, it was nothing short of a miracle that the Guardians had made it out alive after they embarked on one last journey to save their friend.

Hands moved to rub at her eyes, wearing the most convincing I'm awake expression she could muster. It took Mantis a moment to realize she was still on Rocket's apartment on Knowhere.

"But I want to," she insisted, "and it's only until Nebula and Drax get back from showing Adam where he's going to stay." A warm smile then appeared on her face, sincere and affectionate. "How are you feeling?"

A storm was coming in, hard and heavy, the rain pelting down on Skurge’s bald head like marbles on a tiled floor. Each stung and left behind a tingling sting on his scalp, but he knew it wasn’t time to go in. He had one more net to pull up and then he could haul ass back to New Asgard.

Why hadn’t he had the common sense to at least bring a hat?

He grimaced and braced himself for the weight of a full net, hands twisting around the rope connected to the bright orange buoy. Fist over fist, he hoisted it up... only to discover there was no fish at all. Skurge muttered a curse under his breath and he hauled the net — and its occupant — into the boat. A large grey seal rolled into the bottom of the boat, its eyes closed and not moving.

Shit shit shit.

“Hey... hey.” Is it possible to do CPR on a seal? Thankfully, Skurge would never have to find out when he saw plumes of steam emanating from its nostrils. At least it was breathing. Abandoning it here, however, didn’t seem like the best idea.

He and his boat hauled ass back to shore, the little dingy moored up as he carried his new “guest” inside, confused as to where he should keep it until it was ready to leave. By the fire seemed like a good place to park it, returning with a few blankets and furs to provide some extra warmth.

[Serenade Meme from @patchworkfables for Kurt.]

Kurt's gotta🎵🎵🎵 ------------

"D....ke sch.... m...n ....tz, d....ke ...oen ..."

Thera squinted as her eyelids peeled open, an effort made even more difficult by the frown creasing her brow above them. Was that ... well, it sounded like someone singing, which was ... she rolled over, peered blearily at the bedside clock, blinked just in case she ... but no, it really did say three in the fucking morning!

Three in the morning, and ... and wait a minute. She was on the 5th floor. How was anyone singing loudly enough to wake her on the ... ? Thera sat up a little quickly, tuning her ears to try forming the snatches of sound into lyrics ...

"... Danke schoen, mein Schatz, danke schoen ..."

Wayne Newton?? No, hang on ...

"... Spar dir die Lügen, leibling, erklär's nicht ... Ich erinnere mich an den Central Park im Herbst ..."

It was all in German. A palm landed over Thera's face, dragged down as she pulled the covers back and slid out of bed. She didn't want to have to think at this hour, to have to figure things out, but luckily the back of her brain did the adding up for her as she padded to the window for a look outside. Shadows hid half the singer from view, somehow clinging to the wall a few feet along and only betrayed by the free arm he had dramatically flung out to one side.

"... Wie du dein Kleid zerrissen hast, was für ein Durcheinander, ich gebe ..."

"Kurt - !" It took her a moment to get through, even after sliding open the glass pane and leaning out, "Kurt - !! That's the wrong window!"

Pushing his seething irritation at Barbossa to the back of his mind, Jack took a deep breath through his nose and then gave Jade a wry smile. There was so much to feel and he was accustomed to processing very little save through sex, petty violence, or running away. Sometimes in short succession. He hadn't had the opportunity to do any of that barring a brief encounter with Beckett following their return from the Locker and his head was swimming with schemes, the pain of betrayals, and the lingering terror of his own madness and experience with Hell. If he hadn't had Jade, he didn't know what would have become of him.

"Unpredictable as predicted," he said as he sauntered over. "Elizabeth is now King. We make sail in the morning for negotiations with Beckett under her banner. In true pirate fashion, it's all for each other and every man for 'imself."

He knew full well that there were many plans at play for how the war should be ended. Whether he should or could follow through with his own undesirable plan first remained to be seen.

A few for the belle herself c:

🧠- would my muse say they are intelligent? How does my muse feel about intellectual types?

💆‍♂️- how does my muse unwind after a stressful day?

👔- is dressing up for social functions something my muse enjoys? Alternatively, do they avoid formal affairs like the plague?

♾- does my muse believe that history inevitably repeats itself or can we influence events to shape something altogether new?

@patchworkfables

Roguey feels like she’s got common sense, but she definitely doesn’t feel like she qualifies as highly intelligent. Ignore the fact that marble gave her that Int 1 stat on her trading card in the 90s, because I’m still salty about that. even before she absorbed anyone who was of high intelligence/very scholarly, she already had managed to survive on her own before Raven found her. Girl is also a good leader, regardless of how she feels about it, so she is more intelligent than her or marble give her credit for even before you factor in any knowledge, she absorbed from someone.

If she can get away with it, the preferred method is becoming human soup in the bathtub with a book. Preferably with water so hot it would be labeled as mildly uncomfortable, and staying in there until pruned and the water is now cold. Candles, optional, but highly preferred. If she can’t do that because time or place, well that’s what coffee or alcohol are for even though they don’t actually affect her. It’s just placebo comfort. If she has a partner… Well, you can do the math.

Now that she has control? Absolutely. She dresses to kill.

Ro specifically hit up Roguey to borrow this, the dress bag has Anna Marie on it. Girl slays. Now does she actually enjoy crowded, shallow events? No, not so much, but you put up with it for friends and food. 😆

She walks the line between optimism and cynicism- wobbles to and fro, depending on where she’s at. She wants to believe that you can make a difference, but she’s also aware that most big change requires collective action, which is usually uncomfortable for people, most especially people that benefit from the oppressing. Now she’s more optimistic about personal history because she views herself as proof that you can change yourself and not repeat history if you put enough effort into your actions.

The fires of mischief lit in the vampire's eyes at Karlach's enthusiasm. He hadn't been sure she would actually want to do something save hurl insults at the universe and join him on a blood-and-beer bender.

"Oh, I'm very much of the feeling of bad-vampire-bad-barbarian," he replied with a gleeful grin. "Unluckily for him, he lives right next to the Elfsong. All the more reason he could have spotted us. Let's teach him what happens to snitches."

“Little ol’ tailor Tym, eh?” Karlach couldn’t say the name rang any bells, but then again Astarion was that much older, and she’d missed the last decade of life in the city as it was. That wasn’t even to speak of the class divide: likely the only time she’d have been visiting tailors of higher repute would have been with or on behalf of Gortash; not enough to have stuck in her mind.

To think on Gortash set in her mind thoughts of betrayal, and the potential here to do some good by balancing a wrong – particularly one committed against her friend – provided all the encouragement necessary. “Right.” The tiefling clapped her hands together as though decided. “We’ll pay him a visit. You wanna good-vampire-bad-barbarian this and let me turn up the heat, or do you wanna deck him first?”

@patchworkfables continued from here

The Asgardian had been genuinely sweet from the beginning, ever since the Guardians fished him in the aftermath of his ship's wreckage. Mantis often tried to be warm and welcoming toward him, knowing he believed he had nothing left to lose. But that was not true.

Thor thought he was alone, but he wasn't. Not while the Guardians were around.

Mantis offered a polite smile, doing her best to ignore the lingering fear radiating off him, so intense she could feel it without a single touch. Her head tilted.

"It is okay. You have done nothing wrong." Her voice was quiet, but she still meant every word. Mantis moved to let Thor stand up if he wished, hands wringing idly by her waist. "Would it help to talk about it? I could make some tea."

Distrusted as he likely was, XI was impressed with the blunt man's way of politeness. Perhaps he ought to jiggle the chameleon circuit this time or activate a perception filter. Normally he didn't like to fuss about such things, but this seemed like a primitive enough place to cause bother when people got scared.

"Normal for people to worry about what they don't understand. No need to fret, I'm not here to harm anyone. Truthfully, I'm fascinated by the levels of magic in this place. My associate's more interested in the wildlife. I think he's off looking for some now. Here, you must be the hero around these parts, yeah? Being sent off out into the woods with your impressive swords."

The man's eyes were fascinating, but the Doctor wasn't about to be rude in pointing them out. Perhaps everyone around here had them.

Blankly Geralt stared at the ‘permit’ for only the briefest amount of time – enough to get the not-name of the strange man and decide that whoever had given him papers was just as mad – before his gaze flicked back to the “Doctor” and his bizarre box.

He hardly looked like any scientist he’d seen before, but all considered who was he to judge? After all, things always seemed to be getting stranger, and the more he resisted the worst things tended to become. Perhaps humouring him would prove easiest.

“Right,” he grunted, “well, permits aside you might’ve noticed your research isn’t exactly understood by the locals around here. A few people have been a little confused about your…” he gestured, “box here. So they asked me to come investigate. What’s even so special about this part of the woods anyway? Didn’t think there was much left in Velen for scientists to give a shit about.”

I'm afraid of the way you will look at me if you find out all the things I have done to survive, all the things that were done to me, all the things I had no choice in, all the things I did have a choice in.

Astarion snorted, as if he were focusing more on the innuendo he could make out of Gale's question.

"Perhaps I doubt your stomach for the more deeply anatomical and my proclivity for loose morals."

There. He could use big words, too. And double entendre. That ought to show him.

“Hm.”

His reply came as a light hum, not accusative but rather processing. It wasn’t so much that Gale didn’t believe him - often he had believed falsehoods to couch themselves in slivers of truth - but there was more to it than Astarion was giving. The vampire was a curious one: an enigma presenting himself as an open book, often speaking in broad strokes and fewer details. A distraction. He daren’t try to guess what truths he was distracting from, but curiosity for knowledge had always been his downfall.

A smart man might let it lie and turn the conversation. Gale’s wisdom did not extend so far, pulled as he was to take what he could of this momentary vulnerability. It isn’t about the battling, but what, then, is it?

“Wizardry requires an impeccable level of concentration, you know,” he replied, mirroring his companion’s tone: no difficult feat considering his propensity for arrogance. “After all we have already seen, what viciousness could you indulge in which I haven’t already proven myself able to work around?” Once more he sought to meet Astarion’s gaze across the campfire, brows raised. “Are you doubting my skills to perform, or yours to restrain yourself?”
