[HE'S SO CALM ABOUT CARRYING SKIN AROUND OH GOD HOW Peter was not meant for nature can you tell]

That's... sweet? I think? I'm not gonna give him a reason to punch me into space though. I mean, on purpose.

[theweakhavepurpose]

[At least it's not bleeding? ]

We'll make sure you're really far down on the list of people to punch.

Man, those guys have some sweet armor though. I feel like me and Nate and Poe look massively underdressed.

[itsnotaonesie]

[That part is a plus yes]

Hah, thanks. I appreciate it.

Dude, right? It looks a little cumbersome to move in, though.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Small price to pay to look like a certified badass though. Ephemera was saying his fucking suit can make napalm.

[itsnotaonesie]

[I mean he's about to agree that YEAH LOOKING BADASS IS SO WORTH IT but then]

Napalm? How? How can a suit of friggen armor make napalm?

[I mean tony stark could have totally figured out a way to do it but STILL]

[theweakhavepurpose]

I have no idea. All he would say is it's the tech in the suit and that he still needs the raw ingredients but then the suit will.. make it. Somehow.

[itsnotaonesie]

That is ridiculous. I love it. I have got to take one of those things apart.

[Maybe he can convince one of these dudes to let him get all up in their armor for science????? probably not but it's fun to dream.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

I don't think anyone's gonna let you take their armor apart. They kind of.. live.. in it.

[itsnotaonesie]

...Now you don't mean that in one of those freaky like, half man/half machine Robocop sort of ways, right? Because if they can take it off, maybe I can convince them to strip down for me.

[wait]

...Please, God. Do me a favor and ignore my phrasing.

[theweakhavepurpose]

[look at him actually laughing because that is hysterical. Oh Peter.]

Going to practice your smooth talking and get them right out of that armor. I believe in you.

[No he doesn't.]

I mean the alternative is being super stealthy and secretly getting it away from them and that's a little creepier.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter is hiding his face IN SHAME. NO WHY DIDN'T YOU DO HIM A SOLID AND IGNORE HIS PHRASING, PRAAAATT!?]

I'm in Hell. I'm dead and I'm in Hell.

[He'll get over it. He stops covering his face with his hands tries to pretend to be cool. It fails but that's Peter for you.]

Yeah, that's weird and creepy and I'm not gonna do that. I guess I could just ask them about it, but that's not gonna give me all the little technical details. Not unless they can just like, recite all that stuff off the top of their heads.

[theweakhavepurpose]

At least it's just me and not the whole camp?

[He's still kind of chuckling because that is priceless.]

I doubt it. I think it's military issue for them, it probably doesn't come with a manual. Are you starting another project? Don't start another project. You're already building like eight things and that's only stuff you've told me. I'm sure there's thirty others you haven't mentioned.

[itsnotaonesie]

[HHHHNNGHHHNNNNN

I mean Pratt isn't wrong, Peter's turned into a little workaholic over the past couple of months. That's probably not good for him?? But it's fiiiiiiiiiiiine.]

Yeah, yeah, good point. I've got a few things to finish up first. Then I'm gonna get one of them to let me look at their suit.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Give you some time to figure out how to word it so you're not asking them to strip for you.

[itsnotaonesie]

[OOOOH the eye rolling]

That-- yes, that's also a very good point. Thanks for that. Gonna just, reword that one real good before I trot it out.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I'm a helper. You're welcome.

[itsnotaonesie]

What ever would I do without you?

...Say really dumb things out loud to more people, probably.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Think of me as your training ground, you can say dumb shit to me without repercussions.

[itsnotaonesie]

You know what, I think that sounds like a great idea. Make sure you tell me when something sounds horrible so that I never repeat it again.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Only took six months and nearly freezing to death for me to find my purpose here.

Though I will say, I'm not sure if there's a good way to ask for someone's clothes while they're wearing them. So you have your work cut out for you.

[itsnotaonesie]

Okay, one, it's armor. I don't want them to take their pants off or anything weird like that. Two, I'll just wait until I can catch one of them without their armor, it's not that big a deal. Right?

[theweakhavepurpose]

I guess.

[He dumps his mammoth skin on the edge of the camp, resisting the bloody shoulder pat he almost gives him. You're welcome.]

Good luck with that. Take pics if you end up with a black eye.

[itsnotaonesie]

[yeah thanks for not slapping a blood hand on Peter's shoulder grooooooooooooooooooss]

Honestly, I probably would.

[SIGH. He knows himself so well. Though he'd probably make up a better story to go with the picture than "I asked a giant muscle man to strip for me".]

[theweakhavepurpose]

I don't doubt your selfie game. It'll probably be weirdly endearing.

[Only Peter could make a black eye look good.]

[itsnotaonesie]

Y'know, that's not the first time I've been described that way. Not sure if that's a good thing, but I'll take it.

[only because he's be grinning and giving a thumbs up at the same time]
