Bakery Decisions (OTA)

[st_arlord]

It had been a few days stuck in an Inn that Quill thought was pretty fantastic except for the fact he was stuck there. It was a place he would bring Gamora, but first he needed to find Gamora. In order to find Gamora, he needed to be back him. This was the main problem.

He was thankful that he could get his nose healed. It looked good-as-new and still one of his best features.

Currently he was looking over the bakery goods. Brownies are classic, but the cupcakes look equally as good

"There are?" He asked, thinking. "I met Spider-Man and there's my friend Rocket. Who else?"

Quill wanted to think the rest of his team would be here, but he knew that wasn't the case.

[st_paladin]

Adrian didn't know who Rocket nor Spider-Man was and wondered if there was a man that evolved from spiders.

"There is my friend Zahra, she and her friends battled others in their world. Molly is a wizard that protects a place called Chicago. I know of those that would hunt supernatural forces and there are those that are called mutants that have powers that save their world." He smiled slightly, "I do not know of a man that is a spider or your friend Rocket, but I think there are more superheroes at the Inn than not."

[st_arlord]

"ah, but how many are from outer space?" He asked with his chin up little. "And you'll know who Rocket is soon enough. He's hard to miss and pretty loud."

Quill was quite fond of Rocket.

"So, wizards, huh?" He said, "that's pretty cool. Usually those things only show up in video games."

[st_paladin]

"I do not know what video games are, but I have seen something called a game boy at the library." Adrian assumed it was about the same thing. "There are quite a few wizard or at least magical users here."

He tried to remember what he'd learned about others in the Inn and he shook his head, "I don't think any one is from the sky." Though he'd heard rumors of perhaps two.

[st_arlord]

"Well, there's a few now," Quill said proudly and even winked at Adrian. He held out his hand. "I'm Quill, but most people call me Star-Lord. I'm most definitely 'from the sky'."

[st_paladin]

"I am Adrian, though some have called me Alucard." Adrian assumed he meant Lord as a title, like Baron and Duke. Perhaps the area that he was from, was Star.

"Do you live on a space station? I visited one before." It was into the other world, but he assumed they were mostly alike.

[st_arlord]

Quill was learning that a lot of people understood space from some sort of otherworld space station visit.

"I live on a space ship." He answered. "Sort of the same except the ship is mine and I only share it with people on my crew. My friends. Stations usually have way too many douche-canoes to deal with."

[st_paladin]

Adrian didn't know what a douche-canoe meant. He tried to remember what the people on the station were like. Perhaps it meant an alien culture since to them the people from the Inn were aliens.

"Does your space ship appear as a ship?" The only reference he had of ships was a carrack ship.

[st_arlord]

"Uh," Quill started, unsure how to answer that. "Yes? I mean, I guess? It looks like a space ship."

He frowned a bit and looked confused.

"Have you never seen like, a sci-fi movie, dude?" He asked.

[st_paladin]

Adrian shook his head. He had substituted his coat and trousers for more modern fair so it was understandable that Quill didn't know the time that he was from.

"It was the fourteen seventies when I arrived. I had not seen electricity or water that did not have to be brought from the well before here. I have only recently watched movies from the library."

He wasn't really a fan of the moving pictures. He preferred the traveling troupes of his time.

[st_arlord]

Quill's mind was blown.

He looked at Adrian with wide-eyes and fascination.

"1470s? No way." He said, enthralled. "That's crazy. I can't even begin to think about what it would be like to live without showers and toilets and, most importantly, video games."

[st_paladin]

"Modern conveniences are nice." He would admit but added, "I prefer my food cooked over an open flame rather than on gas or electricity." Adrian chuckled, "I must admit that it is nice to have hot water from a turn of a lever rather than to heat it over a fire."

[st_arlord]

"Really? Like a Barbecue?" Quill asked with interest. "I mean, I don't blame you. Nothing says delicious burger than one grilled in the backyard, am I right?"

Do they hang out in backyards in the 1470s?

"Dude, if I had my spaceship here, I'd totally take you up in it." He said. "You'd get a kick out of it."

[st_paladin]

"I think I would like that, to go up in your spaceship. My mother was a healer and a woman of science."

She had been burned at the stake for her scientific beliefs. Unlike his father, Dracula, Adrian blamed the church rather than all humans.

[st_arlord]

"She was, huh?" He said with a smile. "That's cool. My mom spent a lot of time in the hospital, so I respect nurses a lot."

Subject change. Talking about mothers was too hard for Quill.

"So what's your deal?" He said. "You're fro the 1400s, but what do you do? Are you like a prince or something?"

[st_paladin]

Adrian laughed, but not enough that his fangs showed. "No, not a prince, though I did live in a castle. I was a student of my father. You could say he wished that I would apprentice him."

He learned magic along with his natural powers.

"And you? Is being a Star-Lord, captain of a space ship, what you do?"

[st_arlord]

"It's part of what I do, yeah." He said with a nod. "And we go around helping people and stopping bad guys. My team and I are called the Guardians of the Galaxy. We're kind of a big deal in space."

[st_paladin]

"You protect the innocents in space?" Adrian was intrigued about that. "Do you have an area that is yours, or do you travel everywhere?" He was trying to picture what he'd meant by galaxy.

[st_arlord]

"We travel wherever people need us." He answered. "We've been to a lot of different planets and galaxies. People are usually surprised to find out there is way more out there than they originally thought."

A beat.

"Though, I guess for you, people still thought space was heaven, right?" he said, trying to remember history class.

[st_paladin]

"And the Earth was flat, though my mother knew of the teachings of Aristotle, so I was of the few in my time that knew it wasn't." Adrian said with pride in his mother who had lived two hundred years before Galileo.

[st_arlord]

"Good for her. Mom's are usually way smarter than most people," Quill said with a grin.

He was a big fan of moms and was biased.

[st_paladin]

"Yes they are." Adrian acknowledged then turned to look at the array of desserts. "Have you decided what your choice will be?"

[st_arlord]

"Brownie." He said as she picked it up. "A classic."

Quill stopped, then also picked up a peanut butter cookie.

"And a cookie for dessert," he added with a grin.

[st_paladin]

“A healthy appetite.” Adrian had a tint of amusement as he said it, but added to his own order once she’d handed Quill his. “A slice of that cake.” He pointed to a chocolate layer cake that could probably put someone into a sugar coma.

Chocolate was still a delicacy for him.
