[ Distinguished and not-so distinguished residents of Riverview, hello.
Currently, you are graced with a mugshot of one Peter “Space-Duke” Quill and a view of the messier half of his shared apartment. In his hand is his trusty mp3 player – which boasts at least three hundred songs, holy crap, y’all – and while he has one bud in his ear, the other dangles from the wire. ]
So. Apparently if nothing else, this place has, like, all the music ever. So if I’ve gotta be stuck here, might as well make the most of it, right?
I’m on the hunt for somethin’ new. Tryin’ to play a whole lot of catch up. If anyone’s got any music recommendations, I’m all ears. Songs, artists, albums, weird, avant-garde stuff with a guy saying “number nine” over and over – hit me with your best shot. I’ll try anything once.
Also, uh.
[ A pause, and he turns the mp3 player’s face toward the camera. The screen happily displays the album art of The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 while “September” plays. Zunes, man!! Aren’t they rad? ]
Don’t suppose anyone here’s familiar enough with this that they can show me how to add stuff?

Wait, really?
[ Kraglin had said everyone on Earth had one of these things.
And also, bro, do you understand there are three hundred songs on here? Three. Hundred. Why would Zunes ever not be popular? ]
What makes you say that?
video;
Just to arch an eyebrow at him.]
Uh, because they went obsolete pretty quickly? I mean, part of it was Apple's marketing job, I'm still mad at them for some of that, but competition got fierce and Zune lost out. How do you even have one that still works?
no subject
Peter's jaw ticks as he digests that information, and he glances at the Zune again, idly bouncing it in his hand. Yeah, okay, the Zune was pretty primitive compared to all of the tech Peter was dealing with back home, and, okay, apparently it's not really as cool on Earth as he thought it was, which is kind of a bummer, but—
... Eh. Does any of that really matter?
It's a longish sort of beat before looks back at the screen, and he shrugs his shoulders. ]
It was a gift. From my dad.
No clue how he found it, to tell you the truth.
no subject
[Yeah, Tony's not touching that one with a twenty foot pole.]
Well, if it works, it works. It can sit in the corner with the Nokias. What kind of music are you looking for?
no subject
No, okay, never mind, more pressing matters. ]
I'm kinda looking for anything? I'm not super picky, honestly. Uh—
[ And he's skimming through the Zune again. ]
I've already got a bunch of songs by Parliament, Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, Traffic, and Alice Cooper. I'm kinda on a Heart kick right now?
no subject
no subject
[ A lot of the music given to him just ends up being from that decade. Not that Peter minds in the slightest.
He scrolls through the Zune's contents again. ]
Got some AC/DC and Pink Floyd already, but it looks like I've got just the one Zeppelin song. [ Guess which one. Go on. We'll wait. ]
I'll have to grab some more.
no subject
[Tony pauses for a moment, expression shifting to something considering.]
If you start running out of space, let me know. I can probably jury rig some more memory in there.
no subject
This thing’s got thirty gigs already, and I’m only using, like, two. And that’s with three hundred songs.
[ Louder for the folks in the back:
Three. Hundred. ]
I mean, don’t get me wrong, dude, I appreciate the offer, but I’m not sure I’m gonna get even close to filling this up.
no subject
You'd be surprised how quickly collections expand. But the offer's there.
no subject
I’ll keep it in mind, but like I said, I kinda doubt I’ll get to that point.
[ A quick glance at the comm device, and the name “iron.man” rings a bit of a bell. ]
Did we meet the other day? [ You know. “The other day,” as though killing overgrown house plants is just another Thursday.
Peter also doesn’t realize he has a one in three shot of landing on the right Tony Stark. ]
no subject
Depends. Are you the showtunes guy?
[If so, congratulations! Correct Tony Stark.]
no subject
Please, Jet Jaguar, “Skid Row” is more than just a showtune.
[ Which is to say, yes. Yes, Peter is that guy. ]
no subject
Nice to see none of the other plants got you.
no subject
It was— [ ... Uh. Actually, what was it? Peter is so bad at names. ]
—Stork, right?
no subject
no subject
[ He doesn't sound too sorry, actually, but there it is. ]
Peter Quill. Nice to meet you without—
[ Peter circles his own face with a gesture. ]
—all the robotech.
no subject
You too. Though I'd love to get a look at that jetpack some time.
no subject
How 'bout this: if you show me how to load up this thing with more tunes— [ a pointed little shake of the mp3 player. ] —I'll let you have a play date with my aero-rig.
Deal?
no subject
Deal. What kind of computer do you have?
no subject
What's a computer have to do with anything?
[ ... this may, in fact, be one of the myriad reasons why Peter's Zune adventures have not been going very well. ]
no subject
That's how you get the music on. Do you have one at all?
no subject
[ This lapse into silence?
This is a telling lapse.
This is a lapse with weight. ]
... Might have to get back to you on that one.
no subject
I can hook you up, don't worry.
no subject
You can?
[ In a tone of voice that silently asks, "What's the catch?" ]
