Who: Rocket and YOU
Where: Deep Roads
When: During the event.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Rocket goes looking for treasure, has some feelings about a tree, and gets a new weapon.
The Story:

OPTION ONE

A promise of treasure is enough to get Rocket to consider the possibility that this ridiculous thing Wonderland has thrown at them today is worth the risk if only for the potential reward. And it's not long into his trek. As he wanders the dwarven cities, scowling at each statue with their useless stone weaponry and not an ounce of gold or treasure or anything worthy of his love of shiny objects, his eyes light on something that is neither shiny nor any kind of treasure.

At least not the tangible kind. His normally cruel amber eyes turn a bit sober as he catches the sight of the peaceful tree and without thinking, he approaches it, tilting his head. "Aw man, don't get me all choked up now, Wonderland," he mutters to himself, trying to sound harsh, but nostalgia kicks in. Dammit, it's been almost two years since he showed up here, hasn't it? And he's never gone home, not even once.

"You must be stupid or somethin', growin' in a place like this," he says, as he circles the tree, knowing damn well that it's not going to talk back. He hesitates and presses a tiny paw against the bark. "Yeah, you heard me. I called you stupid. He'd pull some dumb stunt like this too, probably."

He's having a moment. Don't mind him. At least he's pretty sure he's alone right now.

OPTION TWO

As it turns out, while Wonderland saw fit to embarrass him with trees growing in strange enough places to almost seem like it was put there specifically for him to get nostalgic over, the one treasure he found also happened to be nearby.

Though it's a bit of a questionable treasure, as he works his way back up through the Deep Roads, he finds it to be a particularly useful one when his guns run out of charges and he's forced to use it to keep enemies at bay.

There's just something hilarious about a tiny raccoon, waving a giant spoon-shaped maul at giant spiders, the occasional deepstalker swarm, and probably some nugs too, because he's in just that much of a bad mood at this point in his existence.

Stupid Wonderland.

That's my goal, so I don't know why you'd think I'd have a problem with it.

[But she'll still shoot the ones he's not currently mauling.]

Believe me, I would never dream of being... up your ass.

[Gross. She zaps two spiders in quick succession.]

But this is more efficient.

My gun won't run out of juice because I've been efficient with my shots.

[She does seem to not be missing. Taking careful aim between each shot.]

That's excessive. We just need to get out, not kill them for no reason.

They're just following their biological urges. Obviously I'm not going to allow myself to be eaten, but I hardly hold it against them.

Key word sane person. These creatures aren't sentient. There's no malice to the attacks.
