[ 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?

[...oh boy. Tony lets out a long breath.]

That's how you get the music on. Do you have one at all?

[nostalgiabomb]

... Uh.

[ 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.

[buildsomething]

[Tony gives the screen an equally long, if less weighted look, and then huffs in amusement.]

I can hook you up, don't worry.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ His mouth opens to respond, but then he puts on a slightly skeptical look. ]

You can?

[ In a tone of voice that silently asks, "What's the catch?" ]

[buildsomething]

Sure. [As if he hasn't noticed the skepticism at all. Tony gets it, but still.] As long as you don't need a gaming rig or anything I can probably knock one out in a couple of minutes.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter holds onto that uncertainty for a second or two more before he lets out a sigh. ]

I'd appreciate it.

But just so you know, I'm not gonna let you keep the aero-rig for this. I'll gladly owe you another favor, though.

... Within reason.

[buildsomething]

I don't want to keep it, just take a look.

[He's not rolling his eyes mostly out of sheer willpower.]

It's fine, seriously. I'll let you know when I've got something for you.

[nostalgiabomb]

... Alright.

[ That bare touch of skepticism, but he shakes his head, forces it out of his thoughts. ]

I'll keep in touch, then. [ And he offers a quick, grateful little smile. ] Thanks, Stark.
