>>—> What Could Go Wrong? | @sparklesxshadows

Bow forced a half-smile and a nervous chuckle at Wrong Hordak. It was kind of hard to be reassuring when you’re standing in front of a very overheated and partially dismantled control board (while everyone’s asleep, no less). It was even harder to keep your calm when the only person available to help you was a very new ex-soldier with just about a thimble’s worth of knowledge about the universe outside of Horde Prime.

“We just need to put our heads together. Figure out what the source of the problem is before either everyone wakes up and freaks out, or the ship crashes and we all die,” he said while beginning to pace. “No pressure, right?” His voice cracked wildly at that one.

“It’s okay, I miss obvious stuff too…heh….plus you were kinda having a moment there…”

*Scorpia reassures Bow with a smile, glad to see the archer getting his shit together with the prospect of an actual plan being possible. Good, good. Keeping themselves proactive was good….*

“Uh…well…ready now….though I might need to find Emily….? She could be useful….if she isn’t with Entrapta already….”

>>-—>

He returned her smile, nodding as she spoke and thoughtfully stroking his chin.  “Right, right. It’d make sense for them to be in the same place.”

He knew Entrapta had... a few screws loose. But from one inventor to another, he appreciated her creative genius and dedication to her work. Erratic as she may be, she had her reasons. 

“Oh! And Entrapta’s been in the ship before. If we can’t get it to start, I’m more than sure she could.”

[sparklesxshadows][scorpia] “don’t say that!”

@sparklesxshadows

“Well, it’s true!” Bow replied, plopping down on the floor and burying his face in his hands. “Everything’s a total mess.”

In all honesty, he sort of liked talking to the new Princess lately. She may be an ex-Horde soldier - and at first he didn’t want anything to do with her - but so was Adora. Scorpia was surprisingly easy to hold a conversation with, and he understood her a little. Always wanting to be one thing and told they couldn’t be that for a long time… he felt that. So, lately, he’s taken to confiding in her.

“I miss the old days! When a fight could be solved by, like, a trip to a dangerous mountainside and fighting off some bots together.”

>>-—> @strykingback​|“Every story about humans ends the same way.” 

He sat on the statement for a bit thoughtfully, trying to piece together a response. Being locked in thoughtful conversation with someone you barely knew let alone had reason to trust was a navigational nightmare- however, it’s rude to not give someone the benefit of the doubt.

He threw Hermes a quizzical look.

“I don’t know. That doesn’t really... sound right. What makes you say that?”

Moreover, what was this person referencing? Actual fiction? Real people? Society in general? Was he hinting that someone’s story was about to end, or just making an observation about human nature? Either way, none of it sat right with Bow.

“Uuhhh….that I don’t really know, Entrapta…and I guess Catra too….would know all the finer details about that…better than me anyway….but Hordak is a clone of Horde Prime. So, if he’s anything like Hordak then he’s very much a “Keeps-you-as-long-as-you’re-useful” kind of guy….and Glimmer’s sort of …..y’know…Queen of the Rebellion….basically….”

*So she’d be very useful…..if she didn’t get the guy too angry in the mean time…..*

“As for space….don’t you guys have a space ship…and like….a magical old super computer…? Or something…? Wouldn’t all of that have info on space…?”

>>-—> [thread: when does loyalty stop being a virtue?]

A flutter of hope ignited his chest, and his expression lifted significantly. It was like you could see the gears in his head connect after hopelessly turning apart for so long. These particular gears had only been turning for the past couple of days since the armada arrived, though, and so much had happened that every obvious detail had slipped from Bow’s notice.

“Right, Mara’s ship!”

The ship that he knew... next to nothing about. The ship that had almost killed him a good handful of times on the same voyage. It worked just fine with voice commands, but he hadn’t thought to go near it without Adora. And she... hadn’t quite been herself. As much as he wanted to be there for her, he didn’t quite know what to say- ‘Sorry you were tricked into almost ending the world and had to renounce the thing that gave you a sense of purpose?’  

“Thanks for setting me straight. I don’t know how I keep missing the most obvious stuff. How soon do you think you’ll be ready?”

[sparklesxshadows][scorpia] “don’t say that!”

@sparklesxshadows

“Well, it’s true!” Bow replied, plopping down on the floor and burying his face in his hands. “Everything’s a total mess.”

“Heh, it’s okay. It’s okay. Tensions are high…”

*Scorpia reassures him readily, just glad he was beginning to make a turn around.*

“Now, every knot has a way to be untied…so let’s start from the top. Horde Prime and his armada of…space…ships…? Are hovering above us right now and are idle, which means they’re all waiting for something. You say Glimmer was taken up by some green light, that means she was probably taken to Horde Prime himself. She’s obviously royalty, or important in some way, just by looking at her. I mean her hair has sparkles in it!”

*She was getting a little off track….*

“Ah, anyway. Obviously this means she’s on the main fleet vessel, not one of the smaller drone ships that we can see. So, where we have to go is space….right?”

>>----> [thread: when does loyalty stop being a virtue?]

Right. Bow had been so caught up in the new details that he failed to think the ship that’d taken Glimmer up would stay in place. Okay, location down. Sort of. The bit about Horde Prime did nothing to re-assure him, though. 

“...Right. A part of space we don’t know anything about.”

Pessimism felt so foreign, and yet it was the first response he could think of. 

“What do you know about Horde Prime? It’d really be helpful if he was more the have-a-calm-conversation-with-war-prisoners kind of guy rather than the, uh... vanquish-my-enemies-on-sight kind of guy.”

[sparklesxshadows][scorpia] “don’t say that!”

“Yes, well, first you really need to breathe….”

*Scorpia says gently, placing her pinchers gently on Bow’s shoulders. The archer wasn’t wrong to start freaking out, she had as well….and frankly low key still was. This was all very much….beyond her. But! That didn’t mean they could give up! They had people to protect, a young Queen to save!*

“Okay, second thing is we need to look at this step by step. Break it down! You’ve got me and I’ve got you, so-! And we have Entrapta! So! That’s three people on the mission already!”

[thread: when does loyalty stop being a virtue?]

Right. Breathing. Four seconds inhale, four seconds hold, four seconds exhale. His heart slowed to just slightly speeding and the adrenaline from panic slowly began to recede from his veins. Any problem has to have a solution. If you can’t find one, you’re just looking at it wrong.

However, he wasn’t sure he could even look at the problem in the first place. It was all so overwhelming to think about that his brain just shut down completely.

“Right. There’s three of us. Three of us that don’t know where we’re going, don’t know how to get there, if we even have the means to, and to save Glimmer in time, probably should have already rescued her!” he sputtered, voice beginning to boom in those final words. Immediately after the words left Bow’s mouth, he heaved a hefty sigh and his expression softened into regret.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you, I– Thank you for wanting to help me. I just… I don’t really even know where to start breaking things down. It all just looks like one big, tangled knot of Bad to me.”

He patted one of the claws resting on his shoulders. “But, you’re right. It’s… better to try and figure things out than to give up. So, let’s start with figuring out where we’re going.”

[sparklesxshadows][scorpia] “don’t say that!”

@sparklesxshadows

“Well, it’s true!” Bow replied, plopping down on the floor and burying his face in his hands. “Everything’s a total mess.”

Oh, they can’t help but laugh, the sound could, cruel, and sinister-Glimmer? Their queen? He hasn’t figured out how this works yet, has he? How precious. “Glimmer isn’t my anything! You don’t seem to know how this sort of thing goes, do you? Allow me to illuminate.”

“Glimmer hired my services by offering me more than the Horde. I accepted, completed the job assigned to me, and now await my payment. The only reason I am here is so that your ‘queen’ doesn’t cheat me when she returns!”They speak of it as if they’ve elaborated a thousand times before this-they probably have. After all, nobody can forget that they, too, are from the Crimson Waste-a place where the only person you can trust is yourself. “That’s all the relationship will ever be, darling. I’m not here to make friends.”

Funny how they say that right before striding past him to hold the door for him, bowing with a little dip and an icy grin. “To the East foothills, then! Lets go have some fun.”

Something tells me they have a very different idea of what ‘fun’ is.

Their enthusiasm to accompany him was worrying at best. At worst? He didn’t want to think about it. Why follow him? They said they’re not here to make friends, so what could they possibly be trying to be around him for? He didn’t have information on where their ‘boss’ was. In fact, not having the information on Glimmer’s location was one of the big things stressing him out!

There’s a million things going through the door with them could mean, and all of them were dangerous. Bow was the person people turned to when they wanted to de-stress, and somehow all the stressful things would just come back to hit the both of them (and in one particular case it was one particular swashbuckler’s fault). And yet, that open door never seemed so inviting. A part of him knew what he’d be getting himself into, but... Enough with the overthinking.

He stepped through the door and gave them a thank-you nod. “Follow me. It’s a bit of a hike, are you, uh... Do you hike? There might be a vehicle or horse or something we could take. Would be a lot easier, but we’d have a lot more to look after. What do you think?”

It felt strange trying to carry a normal conversation with them.
