LOG 280-399: DESTINATION, M2511, KNOWHERE: " who the hell did ya piss off? " grunted out as he rushes forward, seemingly unafraid of the relentless gunfire. there's no time to be gentle. the stranger clad in blue in gold is soon drawn down into cover beside the star-lord. he peeks at the— terran?

❛ what makes you think i pissed 'em off ? maybe they attacked me unprovoked! whoa ! ❜ he had just barely ducked undercover, his force field flickering as blaster fire attempted to penetrate through; they had a few minutes tops before he'd have to deplete its usage altogether to ensure his booster shots performed at a maximum rate. the time sphere had put him in some planet far off from earth's main sector all in pursuit of some time-displaced relic. 

❛ skeets, got any bright ideas ? ❜ booster hissed into his comm, he had gotten a feeling that leaving his companion behind with the ship had been a good call. ( ' scans indicate that these mercenaries are also after the same relic, sir. I suggest redirecting your force field's power with a concussive pulse to disorient the hostiles, then flank left with your companion to reach your destination. ' ) booster grinned, his adrenaline spiking. ❛ i'm not just any human cowboy, you're lookin' at booster gold! your intergalactic MVP. save the fanmail for later now c'mon, i figured out a way out of this dump. ❜ he was already rerouting power to prep up his gauntlets.

❛ know what i'm doing ? bro wha-- ❜ an instance wince. ( boy, mikey. not off to a great start here. ) something about luthor's wisenheimer vocabulary lingered in the air even in spite of the grin on booster's front that with most foes tended to at least give off the illusion that he knew what he was doing. ( he really didn't. ) his booster shots, set to stun mode were on standby. both his fists clenched but not raised yet in case he was immediately thrown off his game.

❛ save the act luthor, i'm taking you in ! ❜ his voice now vibrated with a steady defiance prior to moments ago, even without the prep time booster gold was fairly good at improvising. ❛ now i admit the whole thing with you tanking my rep might've spiked your approval ratings with the masses---nice play, by the way, but i know thing or two 'bout corporate strategy. ❜ ( ' historical data suggests a 41% success rate for your ‘strategies,’ sir, heavily reliant on… enthusiasm. ' )   the plastered grin on his face instantly tightened, skeets needed to work on his damn timing. luthor wasn't any regular crook, he had natural predatory instincts that one wrong move could exploit every mistake michael jon carter had tried to bury for good reason. he was betting it all on his knack for pulling through.

perched on the edge of jaime's bed, the springs beneath booster creaked under his weight. while his bravado would usually be at the forefront, it was replaced by a half-smile. ❛ kid, you can take my word for but i'm the last person on earth you wanna be takin' advice from. trust me, on most cases i'm just wingin' it. ❜ chuckling dryly, he shifted in his position, leaning back as one hand braced against the mattress, his gaze now drifting upward towards the ceiling as if somehow the answers were buried beneath all that worn-out paint. ted had his ways of making it all seem so possible, always ten steps ahead of the initial plan, the weight of carrying on that legacy seemed frightening in theory for both of them. ❛ you havin' doubts ? ❜ he asked abruptly, his entire facade now peeling off for some somber stillness.  ❛ because if you are,  let me tell ya straight that---  you’re doin’ waaay better than i ever did. pff, mean look at me--- a time-travelling con artist with a rap sheet to boot, with a dream ?  nah. i stole a suit thinking i'd be a bigshot with supes and company. instead, i got my ass handed to me by my own damn ego before i could figure out that i wasn't the hero i thought i was. ❜ now leaning forward, he delivered a playful punch to jaime's shoulder to emphasize his point. ❛ if ted were here, he'd be laying it on thick that he'd be proud of you. ❜

aww dior, this was really the best thing to wake up to. i have enjoyed our threads and the current dynamic we have going on between these two and your presence on my dash truly makes me smile everytime. i enjoy reading all the headcanons and the other stuff you have going on with people. you have truly breathed new life into emma frost, she's really fun, exciting and stunning all around (booster would agree hehe) i look forward to definitely continuing where we left off.

happy pride month ! daily reminder that michael jon carter is in love with his best friend, ted kord. the writers at dc are just being fickle with it.

what color character are you ?

light blue characters are laidback and creative, often with a good sense of humor that ranges from sarcastic to straight up puns. they are good at community building because of their chill and funny nature, and they are expert planners. they normally aren’t very uptight, but can become so when they feel there is something that needs to be done, or feels that their authority is being undermined. they have a very strong sense of responsibility, mainly for people in their care, often an older sibling figure to many of those close to them. they can get paranoid and overbearing when they are worried about those that they are caring for. they can also act childish and have fun but they like having people around who can see their maturity and treat them accordingly. they use a lot of humor to get around dealing with their internal problems, and tend to complain about surface level issues in order to ignore their more vulnerable feelings. because of their tendency to make jokes and try to get people to laugh, they aren’t often recognized for their intelligence. Sometimes they lack common sense and it plays out in humorous ways, but when it really counts they are quite perceptive and intelligent, brilliant inventors and strategists. their decisions may seem impulsive, but are usually quite thought out and purposeful. they aren’t the type of person who really wants to be the sole lead, but they want to have a say in the decision making, and they need their input to be taken seriously. they often feel inferior to others and can become defensive when their ideas or sense is questioned because of it. they don’t generally get things handed to them, but have to work for what they want. this can make them feel out of place in a space with others who people praise as “exceptional”, and being the “ordinary” one is a bit of a sore spot. tey can tend to act cocky and confident to disguise their insecurities, again often using humor to help them along. light blue characters need people who ask for their opinion often, give them proper recognition for their positive traits, and don’t leave them out of important decisions, but also don’t let them take on too much. tey need people who will see past their witty barrier and allow them to try and figure out and come to terms with their feelings.

prompts: i think we can set aside our differences for two minutes and work this out. / forced proximity, @rot3rstern

he whipped his head towards the source of unexpected phrasing as loose strays of gold locks caught the dim light ; blindsided by the sudden admission from mr. gloom and dingy here with a jaw drop. booster's eyes instantly narrowed as he processed the audacity of it. after all this time now starbucks over here wanted to engage in the act of cooperation ? this mindset would have been helpful an hour ago. ❛ work this out ? uh, did i hear that correctly ? ❜ his voice echoed, the drawl dripping now with disbelief. he made a sudden dramatic spin work in his favour towards his hovering sidekick who bobbed in the air with movements that indicated a motion of tranquility, booster snorted back a laugh. ❛ skeets, i hope ya got that on record. pff,  this guy over here, am i right ?❜   he jerked his thumb, not holding back on the chaffing.  ❛ suddenly wanting to be a team player and everything. ❜

( ❛ affirmative, sir. although, mr. barnes appears to be making strides with his points. my calculations indicate that even with the extensive resources on our side, odds of success double up with his cooperation. ❜ )

booster's face flushed mid-grin, betrayed by his own snarky sidekick ! he was gonna have a word or two with his opinionated hovering companion when they got back to headquarters who probably should have been accompanying him in the form of a mic piece to be more discreet and to also keep private conversations... well private. this was a new recent development, and maybe he was just projecting some insecurities because as far as booster was concerned---- bucky barnes was simply a stoic, walking ambience. their brief exchanges up to this point consisted of just iced out stares. there hadn't not even been a smidge of a laugh coming from the other at any one of booster's jokes so the sudden olive branch ? it was rather alarming. he took a step forward, toeing the line of personal spaces.

❛ starbucks, we are the furthest thing away from being in cahoots. you're whole vibe has been a mood kill this entire time ! are you only now trying to backpedal ? don't get me wrong, i know folks who do the brooding, dark thing but there's something about you that just--- ah, i ain't vibin'. ❜

❝ well night wing had a collar look back then ... then he dropped it. capes are forever          collars ?  but  i do respect you for being unique and original !  i mean it. ❞  oh superman, always so nice ... everyone had their thing. (   clark could already hear batman's input on booster gold's outfit. a broody voice enters his head  " too bright. too shiny. why have yellow lenses, to make everything you look at tinted   ? "    heh ...  )

classic booster gold smile...   clark would argue his smile was apart of his look too. WELL, ego or not, a happy person made kal happy too.   ❝  huh,    rebranding ?   why now so suddenly hmmm ?  ❞    the super leans in now with an almost knowing look.

[goldbiz]

usually there was a manual, some pr guide on how to make sure he wasn't going off script but that was the funny thing about scripts, they worked when in the face of public scrutiny. when it came to the casual encounter, where he needed to showcase a little more authenticity on his front ? a walking disaster. ❛ bird boy used to wear a collar ? hah !  that's news to me ! ❜ suddenly clutching his side, booster wheezed out fits of laughter at the idea. maybe it was because like batsy, the kid on his wing was so put together and it was hard to outright imagine a costume malfunction. guess everyone had their fumbles at some point. the identity they all put work into was something that happened with time. take supes here, his look was simple. got the point across with those reds, blues and yellows that he was about that hope and that persistent optimism. 

he made a wave off gesture at the look of amusement. ❛ it's not a 'now' thing alright ? it's just a somethin' that's been under assessment for a while. people tend to usually get bored with the same performance, maybe you could use a touch up on your front---let me know if those reds and blues start to wear ya down. ❜ booster's smirk never wavered even though internally he was already harbouring regrets on the dig. superman's whole being was iconic.

❛ for you it's different but i gotta keep up those appearances and shit, got people in my corner i need to keep happy if i want to continue with my---- eh, well let's just say onslaught of resources. it ain’t a big deal. ❜ it wasn't like he was expecting the big guy to understand, especially when everything about booster gold was corporate but if michael was to really boil it down to just nessecities-- everything else was just flashes, and glitz ; the custom platings, the additional add ons like thrusters to boots, the chrome-like fibers to ensure he really amplified that shine. booster gold didn't need those things, don't get him started on the additional pampering back at headquarters. the og suit was built in already with the hardware to ensure he had a smooth crack at things.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

prompts: you seem to make a lot of enemies around here. / established connections, @warbyrds

❛ i don't make enemies, people just get the wrong idea ; it ain't my fault they can't handle a little criticism, i've got a business to run. ❜ he shot back as an internal defence, the bravado concealing any trepidations. he made some adjustments to his gauntlets, a wry smile in reach as he crouched down in some dimly lit bunker. the mission objective : infiltrate some facility buried deep underground where some totalitarian radicals had acquired some high-tech piece of hardware that reeked of the fancy tech back from the 25th century, hence the high operative stakeout to ensure a clean up. he probably wasn't the only one who had come here with technology far advanced for the minds of this present timeline to be in sync with but unless someone else had found another time-sphere, the only resolution to such a question was the same rats that had worked for him. goldstar inc. had funded the best team on their front. whether that included marketing or the tech savvy people ; engineers, those who studied specific fields pertaining to quantum physics, everything possible to ensure all the technology that he came with was being studied and used to benefit his own upgrades. maybe partly only extended to those within his inner trust circle.

contracts had been drawn up to ensure that things remained that way but booster was starting to realize now how meaningless that was. there had been so many dismissals on his front, mostly to save up on funds but because not everyone he had hired was an outright genius and he was also just an asshole letting people go. even with binding paperwork, there was no substantial way to truly ensure a smooth transition ; such tech he sought after was capable of causing a potential continental cataclysm if used the wrong way so this needed to be handled, the more discreet, the better.

they were met with a pitch-black darkness with only soil-like walls within kilometres. it was gonna make it difficult to pinpoint exactly where their next point was supposed to be. the HUD on his goggles were on the fritz, monitoring things like their radiation levels, trying to find systems to bypass--- anything to get them to their destination. ❛ skeets, talk to me. have you got a reading on their security ? we need a way in and fast, we're sittin' ducks here. ❜ he growled, his patience growing thinner as the minutes ticked on into hours. the automaton's optics flickered a few times to signify a command. with a heavy exaggerated sigh, booster glanced at the blonde momentarily for the first time in light of the commentary that he had dismissed. the last thing he wanted was to showcase his distress so he just gave out the most stupid grin he could muster.

❛ y'know--- this teamwork thing. it aint somethin' i'm used to, especially with an espionage barbie but the least we can do is be level headed, there's nothin' to worry 'bout, ❜ he raised a gloved thumbs up from his crouching position to further emphasise his point. ❛ booster gold's got this. ❜ yeah his words weren't gonna provide any assurance, especially if the world was at stake but that kinda talk tended to cramp with his style.

this has already been said multiple times, but we are playing pretend and people do need to take this hobby less seriously and stop getting so worked up if things are not looking completely canon. on that note : stop getting riled up and angry with people on the other side who may have missed a detail or two about your character's lore / backstory or whatever, educate them kindly about it instead.
