Just Picture Rocket Teaching Groot Gansta Rap
Who: Carol and Darcy
Where: Library
When: Yesterday, so right before a lot of people started to go missing
When you were stuck on a space station with little to do yourself, you had to come up with ways to make your own fun. Sometimes that involved Thor, which was awesome, but sometimes Darcy was on her own, too. Today was one of those days. She was hanging out in the library, feet propped up on a table as she read a book, figuring that she'd waste a few hours in here before finding someone to go and bother for fun.
Sometimes, you just had to walk away before someone gets hurt. Carol liked and respected Rocket. She really did. But sometime? She wanted to grab him by the tail and hurl him into space. Which was why, after being teased mercilessly for a half hour or so about her current relationship woes, she walked out with a grumble, heading to the library for some peace.
Randomly grabbing a book about dinosaurs, she failed to notice Darcy, and damn near tripped over her legs. "Oh dammit!"
Darcy hadn't been expecting it herself. "Whoa!" She sat up with a jerk, catching herself by planting her feet back on the ground. "Hey, you doing alright?" She hoped Carol hadn't hurt herself!
Carol grumbled, managing to steady herself rather than fall. "Yeah... Yeah I'm ok..." she said with an aggravated huff. "You?"
"Nah I'm good. It's all cool." It took a lot to phase Darcy at this point in her life. She tilted her head to get a look at Carol's book. "What are you reading?"
"Hmm?" Carol asked, before remembering she'd even picked a book up. "A dinosaur encyclopedia, evidently. I guess I want to learn more about Logan." She said , giving a little half-smirk.
"Evidently, huh? Doesn't seem like you paid much attention to what you grabbed," Darcy teased. "Everything alright?"
"Just annoyed, that's all. And trying to take the high road and not make a big deal of it." Carol told her, running a hand through that blonde hair.
"Sounds like an all around awesome day," Darcy commented. "Kind of sucks to always take the high road, though, doesn't it?" Darcy herself sometimes found that it was better to wallow.
"Well, it was that or end up with a brand new raccoon-pelt scarf..." She smirked, offering a hand. "I'm Carol, by the way."
Darcy reached over and shook her hand. "Darcy. And sometimes I don't know how no one has ended up with a new raccoon pelt around here. Rocket can definitely be abrasive from what I've seen."
"He's a good, loyal teammate." Carol said, sighing as she dragged her fingers through her hair. "And a lot of the time? Not a half-bad guy. But sometimes? ARRRRGH. I mean, I managed to stay quiet when he decided he wanted to build a gun the size of pickup truck and almost blew up our ship. I managed not to flip out and kill him when he briefly became obsessed with gangsta rap. I even found a way to NOT kill him when he tore part of my personal ship apart because he wanted to build Quill a life-size X-Wing for his birthday... but no, I can NOT take him teasing me about my relationship drama. Not today. Thus? Here I am."
"I don't know. The gansta rap sounds kind of hilarious," Darcy joked. She was trying to distract Carol a bit. "I'm sure he doesn't mean to come across as well...an asshole."
"Oh, it's funny at first..." Carol groaned before lightly facepalming. "Until you realize he's mostly doing it to be annoying. I mean, there's only so many times you can hear a wise-ass raccoon singing DMX's 'Where The Hood At' before you want to gouge your own eardrums out."
Darcy tried to seriously think about that before laughing. "Nope, still funny. I think I still have the novelty of just getting to see an anthropomorphic raccoon sing anything."
"He tried to get Groot to join in but.... I think you can guess how that turned out." She laughed, shaking her head. "Never a dull moment with this crew, I'll say that. But then, to hear Tony talk, your world is nothing to scoff at when it comes to constant action either..."
Darcy chuckled. "Constant action, yes, talking raccoons and trees, sadly lacking, at least as far as I know. Who really knows what's all going on there?" Darcy figured there were other types of aliens, since Thor didn't even blink an eye at everything here. "However, the last thing I dealt with at home was Dark Elves ruining a lot of London."
"Well, in all fairness, Oasis already did that years ago..." Carol began, before laughing and waving it off. "No, no... that was terrible... forget I said that..."
Darcy started laughing as well. "Nah, you kind of have a point. Noel and Liam could totally destroy half of London with all of those epics fights and calling each other a nipple."
"Huh. Good to see that even in other realities, those guys are still a couple of douches." Carol said with a genuinely amused laugh. "So, what are you looking for here? Anything in particular?"
Darcy shook her head. "Nah, I was just trying to find a way to pass the time. My job at home was working for Jane Foster as an intern, and with her not here, I'm kind of in the wind as far as what to do. I get to hang out with Thor, which is awesome, but he doesn't need too much help in remembering to eat, which was my main job for her." Sad but true.
"If you're good at being an assistant, you should talk to some of the scientists and doctors here. I'm sure a few of them would jump at the chance to have an assistant, especially up here." Carol offered, squinting as she thought about it. "Dr. Banner does a lot fo work for us up here, and I think he's from the same world as you..."
Darcy nodded. "And probably could stand reminders on things like needing to eat and remembering that he should go and live his life every once in a while." Yeah, that was something that could definitely work out OK.
"Yeah... I'm guessing his girlfriend would be forever indebted to you if you reminded him to not work all the damn time..." Carol agreed, shaking her head. "Guy is SUCH a workaholic..."
"I'm starting to think all scientists are," Darcy remarked with a roll of her eyes. "They all get so wrapped up that they forget the world still moves around then."
"And it HAS to be a genetic thing. Because if you've ever seen Banner's girlfriend.... there's no logical reason for him to ever be doing ANYTHING more than like... five feet away from her." Carol added, crossing her legs. "I mean, how often does a dorky scientist end up with a smoking hot vampire who looks like a barely legal teenager? Really?"
Darcy just laughed. "I'm convinced our worlds are full of oddly hot scientists," she said. "And yet they get stuck in labs versus actually going out and enjoying life. Of course, they're also doing important things, but there's a thing called balance."
"I am beginning to think they have the RIGHT IDEA, lemme tell ya." Carol told her, grumbling under her breath. "Stick with the stuff you know you're good at, and leave the drama at home."
