[ 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?

[ It's kind of a lame joke, but Peter still huffs out a laugh, all the same. ]

I just kinda picked it up. Didn't really come from anywhere in particular.

[ Which is a lie, but it's a practiced one; it comes out smoothly enough. ]

Yeah? Ah, I think your name is...
_{[ wait for it ]}

Far out!
_{[ i hate this ]}

I believe in you, and I believe that you could give me a good nick name. If you need time to think, that is fine. A star does not become born over night.

[ Peter is wearing that distinct sort of smile, the type that's caught somewhere between genuine amusement and complete bafflement. The sort of smile that just screams, "Is this for real?" ]

Sure. Yeah. I'll give it some thought.

[ he really won't. ]

[glitterpants]

I look forward to hearing from you, then— and becoming your friend.
_{[ AND THAT'S THAT. He'll never hear from Peter again. ]}
