WHO: Pyro and Peter Quill
WHAT: Space Bar? Space bar. There might be a space tiger.
WHERE: SPACE.
WHEN: Wednesday, Feb 12

Despite the fact that he didn’t often seem like he did, Quill did pay attention to the things going on around him pretty much all the time. He knew John was having a hard time without Kitty around — of course he was. Quill would be having a shit time without Gamora too, so he got it.

But. Well, he was a good sort of friend, he figured, so when John had moped around in his house for a few too many days in a row, Peter kind of figured it was time to try and fix it a little. Change the mood some. So he’d poked and prodded at his pal until he’d finally, grudgingly, agreed to come out with him.

The doors were always something of a gamble, but he’d opened and closed them enough until he found something suiting — a bar that was like the kind that he used to go to, back when he was roaming the universe. So, really, a space bar.

It was a fucking good one too — lively and with a lot of things out of the norm to stare at, and odd colored drinks to drink and wonder about the taste over. Beer wouldn’t do it, not when they could be having foreign fruit flavors.

“See?” He was saying, already a few sheets to the wind and not bothering trying to hide it. “This is good. Worth it.”

Quill only shrugged. "Before that I was a thief for a band of space pirates." Point was, it wasn't like he'd ever considered himself bad. He was just doing bad stuff for the good cause of filling his own pockets, was all.

But anyway yeah, they had more important shit to be doing. Like casually watching that tiger for a bit longer before getting up and going to see if it had an owner nearby.

So far as Peter could tell, it was, you know. Just kind of a domesticated space tiger. It didn't talk or anything weird and when Peter chanced a look around before petting it, it didn't seem to try biting the inside of its helmet or anything. "Well," he said after a moment.

"Yoho, matey." John teased with a coy grin. Ultimately, John was no moral compass and wouldn't even start pretending to be one. It wasn't going to start now, that was for sure.

Being next to this tiger who probably cared very little about their company, which was just like any normal house cat, was odd. "Yo.. I never been this close to a tiger as this... especially with now glass between me and it." John mentioned also petting the big ole cat.

There was a rumble, and John leaned in and shot back. "It's fucking purring man."

It was fucking purring, man. Quill melted a little, because space tigers were apparently just really big fucking cats and the purr was the kind that made the animal actually kinda vibrate. Very cute. Must have, 10/10.

Gamora was going to give him such looks later.

In the end though, it was pretty easy stealing that tiger. All it really took was... well. Not at all discreetly leading it out of the Space Bar and back toward the door.

And just like that, they now possessed a new member of Starklandia. A tiger. A tiger with a space helmet. A space tiger obviously. John still had his glass in his hand while they were walking out of the Space Bar.

"So. Was that too easy?" John drank on his glass looking at the tiger. "Like, it just sort of came with us." So easy John was almost skeptical but really he didn't care.

It was a big ole purring cat of a space tiger and it was coming home with them. "What do you think it's name is. Fluffy?" John started laughing before the tiger looked and growled right at him - which made him jump out of his skin and drop his drink startled. "Fuck."

"I dont think his name is Fully," Peter countered with a crooked sort of smile when the Tiger decided to put his paw down on that nonsense. "We'll figure it out. HE's probably got one. Or'll find one he likes. Right?" He asked the Tiger who was, apparently, trying to look rather mysterious and proud as he followed along after him and John.

So cool. And it was too easy. Or maybe they were both just idiots when they were bold and drunk and had managed escaping danger simply by not noticing it. Either way, they landed through the doors and back into Starklandia with a new Space Tiger and two new glasses for drinking. All in all, a pretty solid haul.
