you get the gray skies outta my way
who: Mantis (and yoooou)
what: Catch-All~
when: The month of August
where: All abouts
warnings: Almost without a doubt there will be spoilers for Guardians Vol. 2 in this post. You have been warned.
[Closed to Peter Quill]
[Mantis, after recovering the necessary iron from the room of laundry, paces in front of the elevator, awaiting the arrival of her 'instructor'. She is not sure why she is nervous, but she is that, in addition to the general excitement she has retained at the idea of learning more new skills.
Someone, likely one of her floor-neighbors, walks by and Mantis offers an explanation they didn't ask for.] I am going to learn to sew and to iron.
[Very important stuff.]
[Closed to Gamora]
[Mantis is not really sure what to expect or if this will end well.
On the other hand, she knows she probably needs this. It is important to learn to take care of herself. She does not always want to rely on others to protect her. Her powers are helpful, of course, but they are not enough. Mantis has seen Gamora fight, and she knows how proficient she is, so if anyone is capable of teaching Mantis to do this, it is her. She follows Gamora along the street, wondering where they were going, but staying silent for the moment. The last thing she wishes to do is annoy her 'teacher' on the first day.]
[OPEN to anyone - all around wildcard]
[Feel free to spot Mantis anywhere in the city. Places you are more likely to find her include the following:
Feel free to poke me with questions/ideas if you so desire, or just throw something at me, I'm sure it's fine.]

- Wandering the streets looking for the portal, on her perimeter orientation squad grind.
- Checking out 616!Loki's club
- In the toy section of a second-hand store. Or any section.
- Anywhere else your heart desires.

no subject
[Mantis is still working these things out. At Gamora's question, her head shakes quickly.] Oh no. Not training...
[Then, that is not entirely true is it? Even if it is mostly true.]
Drax was showing me to throw knives but I do not think my aim was acceptable.
[She had been hoping to improve but then... well, she had ended up here instead.]
no subject
[ Actually... no, she isn't, because leave it to Drax to pick a difficult kind of combat. ]
Have you done anything hand-to-hand?
