Got a question.

[There's a very casual way about the way he's sitting in his bed, legs stretched out in front of him. There's very little to show off right now, but he doesn't mind announcing himself.]

And honestly, the sample base seems like it's mostly gonna be robots, but I'm not counting you out. See, I don't doubt that we can all be pulled from our worlds and even from different times. The science works out, but I want to make sure that there's more cases of it.

See, there's a pickle here, and it's in the shape of someone claiming he knows me. I want to make sure he knows me, and not just some other-Earth version of me.

I think we all know that there's no telling these things for sure. Of course there isn't. But I'd like to start lining up the cases.

[There's a pause where he shrugs in an almost dramatic fashion, as if he's trying to make it seem like it's no big deal and just a thing he wants to know. He doesn't have that big of a stake in answers, except for the part where he has too much of a stake. The contempt in Robin's voice was almost too telling.

Jason doesn't like it.

He does go on after a moment:]

For those of you who don't know about that, or don't give a damn, I'd like your take on this. C'mon, let it out. Vent a little. I think we could all use it.

So our hosts weren't careful when they pulled us from our own universes. What else is new?

( The casual disregard is something she's used to. Loathes, but is used to. )

Only if you're not actually from Earth. Otherwise it's an accurate statement.

Most people aren't careful when they're doing stuff like this. Or they wouldn't in the first place.

As for the terminology, I wasn't sure if it was a slur.

Or they would be sure to do the idiotic thing very carefully.

( Like brainwash people into joining a team, Peter Jason Quill )

You can't do much worse than being from Earth around here. Species that can barely get out of orbit? No one's interested.

( Except for like the Skrulls and the Kree on occasion and sometimes the Shi'ari if the Phoenix is involved. )

I think I'm lacking a little in the space etiquette here, but you're right about the species barely making it out here. There's only a select few who make it back home, and they've got shiny rings.

[And what he knows about it is mostly found in a few databases.]

Unless you know about that.

Do you?

No. ( What would shiny rings have to do with getting up in space at all? ) Rider's part of the Nova Corps, and Quill's only half human according to his debriefing logs. Mantis and Drax all came from your planet, but I doubt anyone actually counts them as Terran.

( For what would be obvious reasons, if they were here. )
