This a post where I'll RP anything with you and that means ANYTHING. Except smut because I suck at that Got a scenario in mind? I'LL DO IT. Here's some prompts below to help get things moving along if you don't have an idea to play out. The prompts are just prompts, if you have something specific, just let me know either at sweethymns or my AIM (rainsweets). Have at it! ➢ 01. AMUSEMENT PARK: Disneyland? Knotts Berry Farm? Six Flags? A made up amusement park with knockoff characters? Who cares, let's just ride that roller coaster or that giant swing ride! ➤ 02. PARK: Benches, trees, grass, maybe a lake and a basketball or volleyball court. ➢ 03.

Son of a-...!!

[She's landed on her back and wherever she is, it's really, really, dark. Abbie sits up flinching from the impact, but is able to gather her bearings and turn on her flashlight again. The room appears to be some sort of... ballroom? Wait, how does that work? Before she can try to contemplate the logic of the architecture, she hears Peter's voice.]

Quill? Yeah, I can hear you! [She looks around. This area was too roomy for her liking.]

There's not much around, but I think I fell through a wormhole or something?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He feels a swell of relief when she responds, and he exhales sharply. ]

Not cool, Mills. If you hated my company that much, you coulda' just said so.

[ Peter stands again, and takes a cautious step over the floor -- and it flickers this time, surprisingly, but it's abrupt, and the ground is quickly solid again. ]

Probably a busted teleporter. Big house like this, they probably wanted to get from Point A to Point B--

[ Naturally, his conjecture is interrupted when the floor finally disappears from beneath him, and he lands on the ground gracelessly. ]

-- faster. Ow.

[bearwitness]

[She calls back, this time a little more sarcastic in tone.]

You're not that good at flirting, but I'm trusting you with-...

[And then he falls through and down to the ground. She points her flashlight at him raising a brow.]

... I was gonna say I was trusting you with my life out here in space.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Once he's recovered, he shoots her a hurt look. So hurt. We're talking kicked puppy-levels of pitiful here. ]

But I'm great at flirting.

[bearwitness]

You wish.

[YEAH, AS IF THAT WORKS. Okay, so she's offering him a hand to pull him up, BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF PUPPY EYES.]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ There's no shame in succumbing to his adorable charms, Lieutenant. He gratefully takes his hand and hauls himself up.

Back on his feet, he flicks his flashlight around the ballroom and whistles appreciatively. ]

This place must've been awful nice before it turned into something pulled out of a Stephen King novel.

[bearwitness]

I'm a little confused as to how this place works though... Ballrooms usually aren't on the bottom floor or underground, right?

[There are more noises, as if there's something hiding in the shadows and passing by them.]

[nostalgiabomb]

Like I mentioned, maybe a busted tele... porter...

[ His voice fades out when he notices the flicker of movement, and instinctively his right hand moves to his holstered gun. ]

... Call me paranoid, Lieutenant, but I don't think we're alone in here.

[bearwitness]

Yeah, I kinda figured. Now if only we had more light then it'd be...

[It seems like a day for interruptions because as if on cue, the dome shaped ceiling of the ballroom lights up in a rather unique way. It's probably some sort of old holographic technology, but it gives the illusion of staring up into a very starry sky. The fake stars twinkle and various colors contrast against the dark blue of the fake space.]

... Whoa.

[Abbie may not be dazzled by Star-Lord, but this display creates wonder in her eyes.]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter will deny jumping in surprise when the lights flick on, but he's every bit as mesmerized as Abbie is when he sees the holograms above them. ]

Welp. I'm suitably impressed.

[bearwitness]

[She seems a little surprised at his reaction.]

You like it too? I thought a view like this wouldn't be a big deal to someone like you, not after all these years away from Earth.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ At that, he collects himself again, trying to put on the air of a jaded explorer -- there's a lady to impress, after all. He shrugs. ]

Just meant it was good tech, is all.

[bearwitness]

I told you I lived in New York, didn't I?

[She circles the room, still staring up at the "sky."]

You can't get a starry sky like this over there.

[nostalgiabomb]

Makes sense. Light pollution, right?

[ He looks up again, and a small smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. His voice is a little soft. ] Back in Missouri, the sky was almost as clear as this. When I was a kid, Mom and I used to lie in the grass and make up constellations.

[bearwitness]

That sounds really nice.

[Oh no, feelings about family. It's hitting the soft spot in Abbie's heart and it's bittersweet and painful. Did she and Jenny ever look up at the sky? She can't quite recall for some reason because everything went wrong too early in their lives.

She lets out a heavy sigh, glancing the other way.]

It was just me and my younger sister back then. We... Did our best with what we had at the time.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Shit, he didn't mean to bring up feelings -- and he kind of looks like he regrets it -- but what's done is done. ]

Hey, well, you do what you can, right? That's all anyone can really expect.

[ He hesitates, then, ] Your sister... is she--? [ He may or may not think she's passed away. ]

[bearwitness]

[And thankfully, she breaks out into a smile. Not an incredibly bright one, but it's way more hopeful than expected.]

Jenny's doing fine. She just moved in with me recently so we're getting used to living with each other again even if I'm usually on duty with my job.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Oh, thank goodness. Peter's never been too great at expressing sympathy; he always feels like he's saying the wrong thing. He returns her smile easily enough. ]

So it worked out in the end. That's great. And she's good with the Ghostbuster thing?

[bearwitness]

Better than me actually, at least in terms of staying informed.

Although, now that I think about it, she's a little bit like you. Goes around the globe, gathering artifacts, having outlaw tendencies, and kicking ass.

And hopefully she's got better flirting game than you.

[Yeah, she's still on about that so what]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He clutches his free hand to his chest and feigns staggering. ]

Oh, that stings. You've hurt me in my heart-place. Swear to God, I'm gonna make you pay for damages, Lieutenant.

[bearwitness]

All joking aside, at least this part of the mansion is really pretty. Almost worth the trouble of falling on my back.

[And she starts off to go in one direction in order to look for an exit, but then all of a sudden there's a rumbling sound.

There's something big and it's coming at the both of them, FAST.]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter has always worked on instinct -- it's how he's kept himself alive all this time.

So when there's movement and an obvious threat in a place that's meant to be abandoned, Peter will shoot first and ask questions later, which is why his Element gun is in his hand, and he's firing bolts of electricity with impunity. ]

[bearwitness]

[Abbie takes a few steps behind Quill and whips out her gun. Whatever he shot at, it's roaring and sparking with electricity due to the hits. It seems like there's another busted teleporter of some sort in the wall because what comes in charging at them is a monstrous space alien worm, jaws wide open and looking for a convenient meal.]

[nostalgiabomb]

Jesus H. Christ--

[ He's firing more shots at the worm -- fire, this time, because fire is an excellent option for dealing with just about anything -- but the thing just unleashes another ugly howl, more angry than hurt.

So naturally, when Peter speaks, his words are rushed and clipped, and he's starting to take a few steps back--]

Hey, so remember how you mentioned that running thing, and I was like, "Wow, Lieutenant, that's kinda lame"? Starting to seem like a great idea now.

[bearwitness]

[Abbie shouts over the din of the alien beast's roar of pain.]

Good, glad we're on the same page! We're running where that thing came from and hopefully the teleporter it came through will lead us to a place with more hiding places!
