You think all the evils of the world are underneath my hood.

Wow. That might just be the strangest compliment I've ever received.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Simply: ] Snakes.

[stealwithit]

[ she just shakes her head ]

You're going to be so disappointed.

[nostalgiabomb]

I highly doubt it. But either way? I think I'll have to be the judge of that.

[stealwithit]

[ She gives him a sidelong glance as she takes a sip of her drink. ] Yeah, I guess you will.

If we ever get to that point, that is.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He flashes her a quick smirk. ]

You know, in a way? I kinda like the mystery. You've got a seriously secret agent super-spy vibe.

[stealwithit]

[ He'll earn a little laugh for that. ]

I've heard all of that before, many times. I don't really think it's just a vibe at this point, but hey, I'll take it.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He twirls the bottle on the counter top idly. ]

I've gotta ask, though. Why the hood? Why not wear a mask?

[stealwithit]

[ She hums in thought, playing with the straw of her drink between her fingers. ]

Not much of a point to a mask if I can turn invisible whenever I want. And I was going for that medieval rogue look, you know?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He huffs out a laugh. ]

Yeah? Dual-wielding poison-tipped daggers, I'm guessing?

[stealwithit]

More like silicon-carbide holo-blade kind of thing, but you know. Technology.

Though that's an idea...

[nostalgiabomb]

Ah.

[ He nods in understanding. ]

Fancy daggers.

[stealwithit]

Space dagger. But yeah, fancy dagger works too.

Anyway, I don't know if I'd get the same alluring super-spy effect wearing a mask, so there you go.

[nostalgiabomb]

Well, I guess it'd depend on the mask, but I guess you've gotta point.

I just figure -- I mean, what kinda weird sorcery do you have to do with your hoods to keep 'em from blowing over on a windy day?

[stealwithit]

[ almost immediately: ] That's classified information, Star-Lord.

[ also idfk Bioware?? The question reminds her of something, though, and she smiles a little. ]

Actually, Charlie and I were dancing at that party, but he put a spell on my hood to make sure it stayed on. So that's one way.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ She gets a good-natured eyeroll for that joke. ]

Yeah, but before that, I mean-- what'd you do if you got caught out in a storm? Just hoped for the best?

[stealwithit]

Yeah, and just try not to get caught out in a storm in the first place, maybe?

[nostalgiabomb]

You never know, man. Sometimes a bit of rain takes you by surprise.

[stealwithit]

[ She shrugs her shoulders. ]

You know, you're right. Maybe one day we'll be hanging out somewhere and suddenly a hurricane just rolls over and my hood comes off, and you finally get to see what's underneath. Wouldn't that be fun?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Another laugh. ]

Yeah. I'd be sure to enjoy it up 'til the hurricane started knocking everything over. At that point, I think I'd like it a whole lot less.

[stealwithit]

Yeah, considering at that point the wind and rain would probably be too strong for you to be able to keep your eyes open, rendering you unable to enjoy the view.

[ And then the most put-upon sigh ever. Being beautiful is so difficult 2k15. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Alright, Peter will be nudging her playfully with his shoulder. ]

Alright then. Avoid sudden storms. Or, at the very least, we both bring goggles.

[stealwithit]

[ and she nudges playfully back, but then she just sort stays leaning with her shoulder against... His arm, probably, because he's a giant. ]

Oh, goggles. Definitely goggles. Goggles are super sexy.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He laughs, also he's not a giant okay, he's statuesque. In any case, he lets her stay resting there without comment. ]

Really, huh? Goggles do it for ya?

[stealwithit]

[ Gargantuan. ]

Oh, yeah. Just love 'em.

And what can I say? I'm pretty open-minded.
