[ 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?

[ Ahhh, Earth, WInd, & Fire. One of his favorites. That alone is enough to get him to respond: ]

It's been a while since I've handled one but I can help you with it.

Is that really a thing?
The avant-garde part

[ since technology is pretty much off limits to demigods, and since he was born in the 20s, spent seventy years locked away where he didn't age, he has no idea what an mp3 player is. but he's intrigued. ]

I can't help you with that... thing, but I can suggest some music. Ever listened to the Ramones?

[ Gamora is currently sitting, cleaning her sword out of view of the camera, but— ]

I'm not listening to someone say "number nine" on repeat.

Ever heard 'Feel on Black Days' by Soundgarden?

Holy shit is that a ZUNE? I was pretty sure those were extinct.

I have come to be fond of the band known as Metallica. They've got a lot of loud instruments and always sound like they're yelling.

[Ivar's been getting a crash course in modern day pop culture. It stands to reason someone whose from a culture as violent and bloodthirsty as the Viking one would find heavy metal to be his favorite genre. He wants to take home mp3s with him so he can get pumped up before battle with the music.]

Daft Punk. All albums.

[ She squints for a moment at that... thing... what is that? Are those buttons? ]

What... is that...? I mean, I can try and figure it out if you still need help. It looks kinda ancient but it's probably basic.

[ Then she looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

There's this amazing DJ from back home— I have his album on my phone. Want me to play a little bit of it for ya?

is that a zune?

[He's... not going to judge. He has to pause a moment, but he's not going to judge, he swears.]

not attached to any one band myself but i can suggest a couple songs. beatles, bon jovi, mika, the entire ferris bueller soundtrack, that sort of shit.

and i think i remember how to add songs onto those.

[ Have a maskless cyborg so you can see how incredulous he looks at that mp3 player. ]

A Zune? I saw one of those in a museum when I was a child. But a favorite album of mine is "Synaesthesia Auditiva" by Lúcio, if you can find it.

_{[ Oh, music! He loves music, but a lot of classic American stuff. Maybe they'll bump into some musicians that they like. ]}

Surely you have listened to Elvis and Johnny Cash already-- but ah, nothing can beat hearing a musician play live for you!
_{[ please stop him, he'll start singing... there's already a guitar in his hands. ]}

[Have a happy Death, Peter. So to speak...]

I might have to ask you to share your collection! After you learn how to do that, of course.

[Then her pale face becomes facetiously serious.]

If you don't give The Sign by Ace of Base a shot then I'm not entirely sure we could be friends.

[ It's a young voice piping up over the audio feed, some time later after all the other responses. ]

...So, did you get any good recommendations?
