[ 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?

Comments

[nostalgiabomb]

I might have to take you up on that.

[ Because Peter has over twenty years' worth of music he needs to catch up, and apparently now's the time to do it. ]

So, what, I connect it to a computer, and I can download songs onto it?

[ Peter "Actual Caveman" Quill.

Give him a touch screens and haptic interfaces, and Peter is fine. All this Earth tech is giving him a headache. ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ He facepalms when Peter asked if he could download onto it.]

Not that Zune no, your phone maybe, depending on what kind you have. With the computer you'd download them onto the computer, connect the Zune to the computer then transfer the files. It's not hard.

[ if only he knew.]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ His lips part to respond, then, a little defensively, ]

Wait. Why can't I put stuff on this? It says there's a ton of space, still.

[ what's wrong with my zune bro :( ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

You can, you just have to use the computer as a go between.

[ Then Jason makes a confused face.]

Shit I don't remember if Zune's had special software... I broke the one I had fast.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Okay, so— ]

So I download songs on a computer, then I transfer the songs to the Zune, and I hope beyond hope I don't need any proprietary programs to make everything play nice?

[hititwithacrowbar]

Pretty much yeah. It sounds complicated but it's not. Once you do it the first time it becomes super easy.

[nostalgiabomb]

I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Hopefully you don’t get a call from me at, like, 3 AM going, “Dude, everything exploded.”

[hititwithacrowbar]

Trust me, I'd be up anyway. If it explodes or ya know you really do need help. Just call, Zunes shouldn't explode though. A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 though, keep that shit away from your face if you find one.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Uh.

A sam-who what-now. ]

I have no idea what that is. What’s wrong with them?

[ because the exploding thing is probably an exaggeration, obviously. ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

Your lucky. Its normally a top end cellphone but something was wrong with that one model and it randomly fucking exploded.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ That actually makes Peter bark out a laugh. ]

What? That's amazing.

[ A pause, and he amends, ] I mean, also awful, if people got hurt. But holy crap.

[hititwithacrowbar]

No, your right that shit was funny as hell. They fixed it pretty quick but still you had a good chance of looking like Two-Face if you weren't careful.

[nostalgiabomb]

Shit, that's awful.

[ It's what he says, but he still has that sort of smile on his face that says, "that's hilarious." ]

Dunno what a Two-Face is, but I'm assuming it ends with half of your face melted off.

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ That smile gets one in return. Jason finds it amusing to say the least.]

No, that's pretty much it. Dude's a crime boss back home with half his face melted off. There's more to it, but who wants story time when your after music.

OH! Add Fire Woman by the Cult to your list.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He snorts out a laugh. ]

I dunno. Who says story-time and music-time can't mix?

But got it. I'll add that song onto my big ol' pile of tunes.

[hititwithacrowbar]

I like the way you think. Still, I'm more one to share stories over drinks. Good luck with the tunes, and let me know if you need a hand.
