video; @gamora
[ When the camera switches on, Gamora is in her apartment, Godslayer across her lap (diligently cleaned and freshly oiled), and she’s holding her communicator with her usual unreadable expression in place. ]
I want to expand my training opportunities. Those looking to spar or test their abilities – I want a challenge.
[ And with a slight lift of her brow— ]
Or let me know if you simply want others to practice with. Tell me how you prefer to fight, and we can work something out.
[ What a friendly and welcoming message.
… Except definitely the opposite of that.
Gamora is working on that “reaching out” thing, on trying to get a better idea of who and what surrounds her in the city, and she might as well use it as a chance to stretch her legs and potentially come up against a worthy opponent or two. ]

from literally across the room;
Even if Peter was in the room while Gamora recorded her message, sprawled out on the couch with his head resting on the arm rest, he's still playing it back on his comm device. For reasons. ]
You know, a "please" might've been good, there.
no subject
Why are you watching that? I'm right here.
no subject
[ And he is, in fact, scrolling through the responses, though he keeps the device on mute.
(Oh shit, that one dude has a lightsaber. Rad.) ]
Also, I wanna see what your competition is before I start taking bets.
no subject
You intend to bet against me?
[ Rude?? ]
no subject
Gamora.
[ Breathless and affronted. ]
I would never.
no subject
[ And she's focusing that oh-so pointed, piercing look on him. ]
no subject
Man, it's like you've never played bookie before.
no subject
[ Though the threat is more bland than anything. ]
no subject
I'm absolutely coming to watch. And I'm gonna bring popcorn.
no subject
[ Except potentially with other, more interesting partners. ]
no subject
This guy says he's got magic. This guy has a an actual, literal lightsaber. And Angela is, like, basically a god.
[ And he uses the comm to point at Gamora. ]
That's "nothing new"?
no subject
Nothing new.
[ No, actually, very new, which is why she's looking forward to it. ]
no subject
... You're kinda excited, huh?
no subject
[ But she does look kind of pleased by the whole thing. Feeling challenged is important to her, after all, and while she knows she's not a match for some of the people in the Quarantine, she also thinks there's value in facing others who are stronger than her.
How else will she improve? ]
no subject
It's adorable.
no subject
I am not adorable.
[ —said oh-so emphatically. ]
And maybe you should be concerned that you think violence is adorable.
no subject
I don't think violence is adorable. I think you're adorable.
no subject
[ And like the helpful friend that she is, she reaches for one of the couch cushions, intending to drop it onto Peter's communicator. ]
no subject
Whaaat are you doing?
no subject
Of course not.
Instead, she drops it onto his hands.
If it happens to tumble onto his face instead, that's definitely not her problem. ]
You're snooping.
no subject
I'm not snooping.
It's a public message on a public network with public responses. How's that "snooping"?
no subject
[ Clearly that's how it works. ]
no subject
I'd hate to distract you.
no subject
[ Though she doesn't sound aggravated by the statement – more grudgingly accepting. ]
no subject
Let me remind you I am currently armed with a pillow. I'm not afraid to use it.
