[ 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?

[Dodger's been in the business since he was eight - he can tell when someone's tempted, even if they tell themselves they're morally above it. Crime is a funny thing like that, the money and excitement tend to win over anyone who's felt the rush before.]

Go ahead. Can't guarantee you'll like the answer.

[He considers himself an honest man, when it comes down to it. Private, manipulative, but honest.]

That's not really a personal question. Just nosey.

[Which is an answer, technically, but... sure, he'll give you a serious answer.]

Remember how I mentioned my dog getting busted up? Same guy got me framed for a fight with him. [Shrug?] The collar stops me from using any superhuman abilities. Or leaving the residential building.

Nothing I'm not used to - just underestimated how fucking far he was willing to go.

[And, technically, he still hasn't ended up with jail time so he doesn't care too much... it's just embarrassing.]

And yeah, I've got super powers - I'd show off if this damn thing wasn't on me, but I guess you'll just have to imagine. Most folks playing on the wrong side of the law back home have something like that up their sleeves, or they don't last too long.

Teleport and set shit on fire at will.

[And a whole laundry list of other things, but those are the ones that he's willing to share off the bat.]

Which... is a bitch, since I had to learn how to use cigarette lighters this week.

Until a certain someone who thinks I'm very dangerous stops thinking I'm too dangerous to be left to my own devices.

[He rolls his eyes.]

I'll win him over sooner or later - until then he babysits me any time I step out of the residential building. It's annoying for everyone.

I'll sort it out - I got a certain reputation for dodging trouble.

[Roll credits.]

Just too bad seduction's out of the list of possible solutions. He made that pretty fuckin' clear.

[His stomach still hurts sometimes, where it had gotten kicked.]

Yeah, they don't work on guys with self-esteem and standards.

[At least he can laugh about it.]

See, I really wanna meet the guys you've been hanging around that you can win over by complimenting their eyes.

[But hell, if they're gonna talk about cute boys he may as well show him what they're up against. So Peter gets sent a photo of Reaper that Dodger's taken, showing that particular red glow that warns Reaper is very, very done with his shit. Probably because he'd explicitly told him not to take a photo.]

If you meet him, you could always see about making friends with him. Y'know, for me.

[He has such a huge crush on him. And dear lord is it obvious - everything about him seems to soften the longer Reaper stays the topic of conversation.]

[He lets out a chuckle at that.]

That pretty much proves I sent the right picture. His name's Reaper. Ex-military hero turned terrorist, but a real sweet guy if you read between the lines. And he can suck the life out of shit around him.

[Which you'd think would be where he starts speaking seriously but no, it's almost like he thinks sucking life out things is attractive. What the hell, Dodger.]

Just be careful if you get on his bad side. He packs a pretty mean punch - and I'd have to kill you for getting on his nerves.

To each his own.

[There's a broad grin on his face, regardless. He doesn't expect anyone to be on the same level as him as far as tastes, so there's no hard feelings.]

Point being, sweet-talking him is a dangerous game. But if you think it's worth it, hell, word of a stranger's usually enough for me.
