Golden Boy

Because we all need to appreciate our lord and savior, Ron Swanson.

❛ Is Star Wars the one with the little wizard boy? ❜

❛ I’m just gonna stay angry. I find that relaxes me. ❜

❛ I can’t go, because I don’t want to. ❜

❛ You take me nowhere, and I talk to no one. ❜

❛ If any of you need anything, too bad. ❜

❛ I’m not sure I’m interested in that. ❜

❛ No, I am sure. I’m not interested in that. ❜

❛ I like saying no. ❜

❛ I hate everything. ❜

❛ I love nothing! ❜

❛ I regret nothing. ❜

❛ I regret everything. ❜

❛ People are idiots. ❜

❛ Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing. ❜

❛ Normally, if given a choice between something and nothing, I’d choose to do nothing. ❜

❛ I don’t want to seem overdramatic, but I really don’t care what happens here. ❜

❛ Keep your tears in your eyes where they belong. ❜

❛ Dear frozen yogurt, you are the celery of desserts. Be ice cream or be nothing. Zero stars. ❜

❛ Fishing relaxes me. It’s like yoga, except I still get to kill something. ❜

❛ I’m usually not one for speeches, so goodbye. ❜

❛ No. ❜

❛ What’s “cholesterol” ? ❜

❛ Your house isn’t haunted, you’re lonely. ❜

❛ I’m not interested in caring about people. ❜

❛ Strippers do nothing for me. But I’ll take a free breakfast buffet anytime, anyplace. ❜

❛ Birthdays were invented by Hallmart to sell cards. ❜

❛ You had me at meat tornado. ❜

❛ I like saying ‘no’. It lowers their enthusiasm. ❜

❛ [Son/daughter], people can see you! ❜

❛ Please do not approach me on the street after this event, and attempt to talk to me. ❜

❛ It’s called ‘the ground’ when it’s outside. ❜

❛ There’s no wrong way to consume alcohol. ❜

❛ Creativity is for people with glasses who like to lie. ❜

❛ I don’t like loud noises, and people making a fuss. ❜

❛ There’s only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk… Which is water that’s lying about being milk. ❜

❛ I know what I’m about, son. ❜

❛ I think there should be less talking in life. ❜

❛ Breakfast food can serve many purposes. ❜

❛ When I eat, it’s the food that is scared. ❜

❛ I was born ready. I’m [name] fucking [name]! ❜

❛ Not to worry, I have a permit. ❜

❛ I would rather bleed out than sit here and talk about my feelings for 10 hours! ❜

❛ Crying. Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon. ❜

❛ When people get too chummy with me, I like to call them by the wrong name, to let them know I really don’t care about them. ❜

❛ I’m not a sore loser! It’s just that I prefer to win, and when I don’t, I get furious. ❜

’ There’s a war going on out there somewhere ’

’ And ___ isn’t here ’

’ I’ve been away too long ’

’ I’m going abroad ’

’ I don’t what deprives me of the pleasure of smashing your head in with this ’

’ I’ll never be this happy again ’

’ You are so good for me ’

’ Chandeliers and caviar, the war can’t touch us here ’

’ I can’t go on living as I am ’

’ I used to be better ’

’ Old friend, I need your help ’

’ Just as a duck was made to swim in water, God has made me as I am ’

’ This is a dangerous business ’

‘ God, to think I married a man like you ‘

‘ Everything is dark, obscure and terrible. ‘

‘ I suffer more now than before ‘

‘ You are bewitching, what can I do ? ‘

‘ How I envy you and your happiness ‘

‘ We are just caught in the web of history ‘

‘ Nothing matters, everything matters, it’s all the same ‘

‘ None of us are great men ‘

‘ I must love you or die ‘

‘ How is it I notice nothing ? ‘

‘ It seems to me I’ve loved you a hundred years ‘

‘ I’m so happy, and so frightened ‘

‘ Forget everything and forgive me ‘

‘ I know you are capable of anything ‘

‘ Tonight I go away, on an adventure ‘

‘ Now you listen to me when I speak to you! ‘

‘  Who are you to tell me anything? ‘

‘  At this moment, you are more repulsive to me than ever ‘

‘  I don’t consider myself bound to answer questions put to me in that tone ‘

‘  You’re a scoundrel and a blackguard ‘

‘ I shan’t be violent, don’t be afraid ‘

‘  Besides your pleasure, there is such a thing as other people ‘

‘  We wait with dread ‘

‘  Your face is gloomy ‘

‘  ___ once told me that I should turn to you ‘

‘  But still I’m tormented by the wrongs I’ve done ‘

‘  Don’t speak to me like that, I am not worth it! ‘

‘  You have your whole life before you ‘

These were requested via messaging from someone who thought it was a good idea to have starters for characters who didn’t interact like humans did, like animals, or characters more centered in a Paleolithic-ish sort of setting/universe.

Under any ‘normal’ circumstance Rocket was all for lyin’ about where he was at emotionally, or even physically. Right now it was the latter. People. People were too clingy and he needed a moment to breathe. His friends were okay, sure. But nothing REALLY puts things in perspective like a bunch of hospital beds and the crumbling foundations of a university. When he wanders and sees a familiar face, he shakes his head and crosses his arms as the male is speaking.

“Treatment? There ain’t nothin’ that can cure what I’ve got, kid.” He quips back to the golden boy. “Well, there is somethin’ but apparently, it’s frowned upon to bring Terran Vodka to the Med-Bay and offer it around.” He says it so callously with a raise of his shrugs. “How’re ya holdin’ up?” He was an asshole, sure. There was no denyin’ that, but he was curious to truly see the impact of it all. Especially considerin’ how Josh was one of the few medics in this place. Backwater planet seems like such an understatement in that regard.

Josh smiled sadly, but nodded, “You’re probably right. In the end, I’m not as good a healer as I’d wish.” He’d lost people, and he was powerless to try and help people like Peter who’s minds were... damaged in the course of the attack. If he’d been better then maybe he could have fixed that too, as it was, he wasn’t good enough. Maybe some day he’d be able to help more people, rather than slump against a wall and feel sorry for himself.

“The doctor’s don’t like that no. We don’t tend to use alcohol to numb wounds anymore. Though if you’ve got any one you... I wouldn’t mind a swig.” Something to help him on his way to a dreamless sleep. Josh opened his mouth to answer but found no words came out, truth be told he wasn’t coping, he was barely getting by, “Oh, I’m not.” he said quietly, “I’m not holding up at all. But it’s okay, I’ll just get through the day and then fall into bed and break down there.” he said it rather matter of factly, “It’s easy to sweep it all away when you’re working.” He paused a moment, “Are you sure there’s nothing I can do for you?”
