That depends.

[ He's answering the question intellectually. ]

Usually. It's worth your life if you're not careful. Or if you don't.

[ Then, just to make it clear- ]

You spoke to me first.

[beatupgrass]

I wasss... [he drawls the words out in a slur] just speculating. On stuff. I thought there weren't people around.

[He waves a hand.] And dude, you are way too emotionally heavy for a party like this. Go get a few more drinks.

[toten_sie]

[ That just makes him tilt his head. Because, uh-]

I just answered your questions.

[ And he doesn't drink. He's got enough problems keeping the barrier between his nightmares and reality up without alcohol. ]

[beatupgrass]

In the most dramatic way possible. They must be real intense in that... [uh] ...place you're from.

[You can't expect him to remember something someone told him three seconds ago. gosh.]

[toten_sie]

I... wasn't trying to be dramatic?

[ He's a rather simple man, after all. ]

The place I'm from's like any other place.

I think most places are pretty much like other places.

[Rocket has a very negative perspective on most people. It may not be accurate, but it's what he's sticking to. Pay him no mind, universe.

Rocket huffs.]

I guess there's somethin' to do. I've been on tons of different planets and they're all usually the same bunch of losers doin' slightly different things.

[toten_sie]

Planets?

[ He knows what a planet is, and he knows there are obviously more than one, since he's on a different one than the one he lived on. But the idea of going to different planets? ]

Tons of them?

[beatupgrass]

Bunches and bunches, all organized by quadrants. [He chuckles.. and then hiccups.] Man, some of y'all don't know what you're missin'.

[toten_sie]

All of them... with countries and people?

[ ...that is literally more people than he's ever considered COULD exist. ]

[beatupgrass]

I guess some of 'em are kinda barren, but most of 'em, yeah. Countries, people, animals, buildings. Whatever. Why is it so hard for people to believe there's more than one planet out there in the vastness of space that's capable of havin' all that? It's stupid... And, if I'm bein' honest, just a bit egocentric.

[toten_sie]

[ He's a little taken aback at the accusation, mostly because he doesn't really know what the word means, but he pauses to consider the idea. ]

I guess because the world seems so big by itself.

The idea of lots of other world, all of them that big, seems... too big. And it makes them feel small.
