video, un: grimm

[The video opens on two figures standing outside a circus tent. Grimm is hard to mistake for anyone else, and it should be no surprise to those who know him to see Mike Morton at a circus.]

Greetings to you all, my fellow Moonblessed. We are pleased to announce the opening of the Lacewing Circus as a permanent attraction in Lower Lunatia. We hope that all who have an interest will come to one of our performances, occurring every Saturday and Sunday at five PM.

Ever wanted to see someone defy gravity? Well now you can! Swing on by for acrobatics, trapeze acts, and tightrope walking galore! It’s a scene you wouldn’t want to miss— guaranteed! But don’t just take my word for it. Come see with your own eyes! Just don’t let this momentous occasion pass you by.

[Mike pops up out of the parting bow fast and points at the camera. One last thing:]

…But wait! That’s not all. We’re also taking your applications! So? Don’t be shy. Show us what you’ve got.

[ He doesn't look like a bugdad, no, but Peter's happy to meet more new people. ]

We didn't see a lot of exciting things on the side of Missouri I lived in and circus are pretty impressive when you're 8 years old. So yes, I have fond memories of them. I'm sure you won't disappoint.

Can I ask what's your circus act? Or you're just organizing and handling the behind the curtain stuff?

Oh, silly me for not introducing myself properly!

[ Mike, similarly, is always happy to meet new people and it shows through his enthusiasm. ]

Mike Morton! Previous star acrobat at the Hullabaloo- and now at Lacewing! I've got all kinds of extraordinary feats under my belt.

[ Mike taps a finger against his mouth as he leans towards the camera. As if he's coyly sharing a secret. He isn't. ]

But truth be told I'll always be fond of juggling the most! It was the very first thing I learned to do as a tyke after all.
It's a real pleasure to meet you, Mister...?

Don't worry about it, I forgot too. Nice to meet you, Mike. I'm Peter Quill but around space they know me as Star-Lord. ever heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy? [ He always asks just in case the rest of his team is around and he hasn't found them yet. Peter has faith. ]

Can't say I've ever heard about the Hullabaloo before, sorry. Ohhh juggling is an art that takes a lot of skill and concentration, I look forward to seeing you perform. Are you and Mr. Grimm from the same world?

Star-Lord— ! Now that's a title. But I'm sorry to say I've never heard of any galaxy guardians.

and if only we were! But I'm no bug, for starters. No, we're from two entirely separate places with the same level of appreciation for circus acts! But hold on just one moment-! You can't just bring up space and not have it pique my interest. You do mean space-space, don't you? The actual galaxy? No metaphors to be had here?
spacedisaster: (Don't worry I've got this)

[ He smiles at that. Someone who doesn't immediately mock is name is always bound to make Peter happy. ]

Thank you! And that's sadly expected. No one seems to have heard of us, which means the rest of my team might not have arrived at the planet.

Nothing brings people closer than similar interests. Hah, yes the actual Galaxy. If you have questions about the big blue space, I can answer the without issue. I've been living up there since I was 8 years old.

[ Well Mike does enjoy going out of his way to make people happy for the most part. So that checks out. ]

I do! I have so many questions, in fact. How did you live up there for so long? How did you even get there in the first place!! Isn't that impossible? You're not just pulling my leg here, are you?

[ Yeah so about time periods and all that. ]
spacedisaster: (They know me as Star Lord)

[ Good for Mike, Peter's usually very friendly on the regular, if a little weird. But who wouldn't be, after the life he's had. ]

When I was eight years old a group of aliens came to Earth and kidnapped me, they were space pirates and smugglers. I grew up with them, traveling from one side of the Galaxy to the other since we lived on the ship.

Interplanetary travel wasn't all that common when I was little either but other planets had far more advanced tech than Earth. Very much like Lunatia. And no, I promise I am not lying.

[ Ask away kid, he doesn't mind. He's used to explaining this stuff all the time. ]
