Day 23. Audio

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ here's the slightly less energetic voice of Peter Parker but at least he's not breathless. This time. ]

Uh. Hey. Um.. I just wanted to thank anyone that helped me out yesterday and uh you know, sorry you had to deal with that.

I'm uh.. better now? I guess you could say? Anyways if you need me I'll be around. Probably in the dressing car or one of the other places I like to hang out.

[yondu]

[Yondu takes a little bit to answer, because he had to go on a mission to return some of the medical supplies to medical and the triage area. He's capable of being a dick but he's responsible, he wouldn't have been able to be a captain for so long otherwise.]

Which one was you?

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ It's cool, Peter wasn't really doing anything important. Just playing on his DS. ]

Oh! sorry-Peter, sir. Peter Parker.

[yondu]

Oh, right. I remember you.

[Same first name as Quill.]

You breathin' alright now? Get all that taken care of?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Hm? Oh-right. Uh. Yeah. Much better now.

[ Now that he's not a borderline unhealthy nine year old. ]

Thanks for all your help.

[yondu]

No problem. Take care of yourself.

[He was a good kid back then, and he tragically hopes that he'll make it back to his Aunt May and his Uncle Ben.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Well, he might at least make it back to May? ]

Always.

[ Well, not always. ]

Uh. Sorry. I'm just... uh a lot different than I was back then. So, nothing to worry about now.

[ For starters, he talks a lot more now. That may or may not be a good thing. ]

Um, Anyways, you too.

[yondu]

Some people change. I didn't figure I'd recognize most of the people when I saw 'em big. Just a few.

[Peter Quill didn't change much, but at least that made him predictable to his father figure.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh, I still look mostly the same-I think. I just have a lot less uh.. medical conditions. Which is nice 'cause now I don't really have to worry about dying tragically of an asthma attack.

...well, I say tragically.

[yondu]

Well... a lotta y'all kinda look alike. You're some variety of pale brown with darker brown or black hair. Made it a little hard when I haven't met all that many of y'all.

It woulda been pretty tragic though, you ain't wrong.

[adropofsunlight]

[Considering Rapunzel is starting to understand what might have happened she definitely feels a huge sense of guilt currently at hearing this.]

I'm glad that you are better.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Which one were you? I was the little bald runt running around making trouble.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Eh, depends who you ask. [ He's got enemies. He's sure there's one or two that wouldn't care at all if he died one day. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Don't feel bad Punz, he gets that stuff happens sometimes. He's not gonna hold a grudge. ]

You and me both. At least it's over now.

You okay?

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Which... ]

Oh!

uh I wouldn't really say you were causing trouble-I'm pretty sure you saved my life so you know, thanks. I was the one that couldn't breathe well.

[yondu]

If they're plenty fucked up. Even Ravagers gave a shit about kids dyin'.

[Living or dyin'. That's why Yondu being an absolute idiot was such a big deal. And why he's never stopped kicking himself for being an idiot. And Peter still sounds pretty young.]

[its_dad_sanzo]

Perhaps I wasn't at the moment.

[ If he suggests he made lots of trouble that day, it's better than the reality that he just worried the shit out of almost everyone who met him. ]

Ah, the asthma. Do you still have that problem?

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Unfortunately, he is still very young. ]

I'm bad for criminal enterprises back home so I got enemies and all that-but I was mostly kidding.

My generation is uh... really bad about self-depreciating humor. [ And because he can't help himself- ] because life is a capitalist nightmare and the planet's dying, so it's not like anything in life actually matters.

[hashtagparkerluck]

No, you were a lot of help.

[ Seriously, thanks for not letting him just.. die. ]

Um.. I don't really have attacks like I used to-it takes a lot more to set it off but I guess it's still there. Just mostly in check, I guess you could say.

[yondu]

Works out to your benefit. The Kree dont wantcha. At least not enough to attack. I bet they've done some expirementin' since they do that with ever'body.

[hashtagparkerluck]

The... Kree?

[ He's not sure he's heard of them yet. ]

[its_dad_sanzo]

Do you at least have an inhaler, now? Just in case?

[yondu]

Where I'm from there's a race that kept tryin' to expand their empire. They're the Kree. Took on the Xandarian Empire for a while. Nearly wiped out some races. A lotta Ravagers are Kree defectors, former citizens interned for dissentin', former slaves like me.

[Now, some are assholes, sure, but the Ravagers are kind of a simple roving home for the lost and disenfranchised that have to start with nothing. The greatest tragedy of the loyalist portion of his crew dying.]

They've been forced into some treaties lately. Some of the old guard warriors ain't happy with it and sided with some uh... real special leaders, I'll call 'em that.

[goingthroughaphase]

Were you affected pretty bad? I'm sorry I couldn't help.

[ She'd been going through a bit of her own trouble, but she felt a little guilty that she hadn't been there. ]

[strawberryprotector]

Mmhmm. I still want to see you in medical for a chest scan, make sure things look okay.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh man, I'm sorry.

You don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to. That-I couldn't even imagine.
