This is not the Carnivale post. This is just a tribute.

Optional overflow post, since the Carnivale log has hit Captcha. If you don't mind Captcha, feel free to continue using the previous one, or put up a top-level on this one with links to your previous threads and continue here, free of being put to the robot test with every tag.

Come by to visit? Really?

[Mantis pulls a smile, and its a real smile. No one has ever really invited her to visit anywhere before. It is a very exciting prospect.]

I would like that very much! [She's so excited, she almost knocks the drink she has perched on the edge of the crate over when the wand she was fidgeting with goes a little rogue.]

[ He can’t help but laugh a little at her enthusiasm, but it turns into a startled, “Oh, crap,” when her wand knocks into her cup. His hand darts out, catching it before it can spill all over the ground. ]

—Or we can come visit you.

[ And he rights the cup on the crate, moving it a little further back, out of the danger zone of the wand. ]

Either way works.

Oh! [Thankfully, Peter has quicker reflexes than she does. Mantis lets out a quick huff of relief.]

I would like that too. I do not have any roommates. It is quieter in my room than it was on the ship.

[And Mantis had sort of...gotten to enjoy that background noise, the one that let her know there were others around.]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter glances up at that, unsure if she means “quieter” as a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe bad, he figures; life on Ego’s planet must have been lonely, and while he grants prolonged exposure to the Guardians would make anyone wish for at least a moment of silence, to Peter, the noise is soothing.

(It’s nice, knowing he’s not alone.) ]

Well, hey. Consider it an open invitation, then. If you’re ever feeling lonely, just give me a call.
