Woah! Absolutely criminal. Should I be arresting you or something?
(probably, but with what authority, peter, what authority? it doesn't matter. it's not like he is actively doing crimes here, right? he isn't hurting anyone and stuff. should be fine.)
Oh, yeah, like a lot. I mean, to me, it's just home, right, so I don't think so much about that, you know? But a lot of movies, yeah, and also, a lot of alien invasions lately and stuff.
Hey, we paid it off! And early, too! We're all square with Nova—saving the galaxy'll do that.
[ Buut considering Peter has some clear trauma regarding alien invasions (they both do) so Quill keeps it moving right along unless Peter asks him for any details. ]
I know what you mean. For me, home is on the Milano, with my friends. We might get up to some weird scut, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
[ He thinks back to his friends, hoping they're OK. Rocket will put himself in charge if Quill is gone, but... well, they'll look for him. He's pretty sure. ]
Did you say this place was called Aldrip? Why's that sound kinda familiar?
Oh, yeah. Wasn't your galaxy, I guess, but we pulled out all the stops and beat some evil alien that wanted to destroy all life and trap people in a messed up fantasy world where they'd power him up with their memories. Real flarked stuff!
[ He waves a hand like it's nothing though—he doesn't have time to explain Adam Warlock and the Promise and all that. Peter probably knows how it goes, since he's faced off with Thanos.
... And lost. Hm. Yeah, better skip to another topic. ]
Not Milano, the Milano. She's my ship! I've had her sincs I was in the Ravagers. Rocket's always calling her "his" ship 'cause he tried to steal it from me, but we all know she's really mine.
[ He shrugs. Ships, man. Peter could talk about ships forever. But he won't! This Aldrip thing is kind of bothering him... ]
Guess it's like some weird deja vu or something... The tech is like super old there, right?
but also then why did you freak out in his!! quill!! bro!!! though, that is flarked. don't teach him that sorta thing, he'll definitely do quill impressions when no one is looking.)
Oh. Yeah, sure, a ship, definitely something I've seen a lot of, like two probably in my life. Is it kinda like living in a sea ship? Also, well, they don't have the stuff we have. With this multiverse stuff, I'm pretty sure old is relative.
Probably, yeah! We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.
[ He says this with a flourish, then reaches into one of the pockets in his jacket. Does he still have...? Yes. He does.
He produces a business card. Legitimately, a printed business card that reads: 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Heroes for Hire' with a backdrop of the Milano, zooming through space. You would think that cool space tech made business cards obsolete, and you would be right. ]
It's me, Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Drax, and Nikki. Nikki's kind of a new addition, so her name isn't on the card yet.
[ He grins. This is his family!! He found it all on his own. Even Nikki who is his not-daughter. Don't worry about it. ]
Mantis is kind of unofficially on the team, she'd probably say there's "one" where she's full time. [ Lawd he do be rambling. ] Oh, and Adam Warlock hitched a ride for a bit, but that dude stole my room and he has this thing where he rhymed... I guess he was kinda on the team.
[ Absolutely do Quill impressions, Peter. Soon he'll teach you about metal and Star-Lord band and you'll be jamming to the 80s greatest hits. ]
I wouldn't really know about living on a sea ship, so. [ He shrugs. ] It is kinda close-quarters though. Like, everyone has to share food and the same bathroom and stuff. Ugh, You don't wanna know how many toothbrushes I go through thanks to my so-called friends. Plus, Gamora's always accusing me of eating her food, but I swear it's Drax, or even Rocket, who just makes it look like it was me—
[ This is an old argument. He cuts himself off before he starts rambling again. But despite his complaints, he clearly cares about everyone he mentions. Even fucking Adam Warlock, the weirdo. ]
(there's an honest smile when he takes a better look at the card that quill had for him. does that just mean people can call? does he make money from this? it's a lot to ask. peter definitely doesn't, he's broke, but money has never been on his mind.
probably it wasn't him who named them, right? see, if he had, then he gotta have better taste than 'starlord', right. that gamora chick seems cool, he'll bet that it was her.
between the two of them, however, there's so much talking, that it's good that it's just the two of them, another person would have gotten lost 5 comments ago...)
Huh! No, I just met those, then? But no one else. You guys did meet with Thor before you met us, so I think maybe you split. I think we had like, 2 hours at most together? I wasn't really paying attention to that - I thought your friend was even going to eat me?! She looks really weird from a human perspective, you gotta admit. Didn't that kinda confuse you when you left? Or were you around aliens your entire life?
(ugh. sharing bathrooms... with so many people...)
Dude, yeah, sounds tough, but it's your tough, right? New York is crime-ridden and stuff, and sometimes kinda dirty, and there's a lot of people, but I wouldn't change it for anything.
[ He shifts his weight proudly, clearly meaning that "Star-Lord" is also an awesome name, thank you very much. ]
What, Mantis? No way, she wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean, unless it was an evil fly that was starting some kind of weird chain reaction through time or something. She can sorta see the future though... But my friends don't eat people. That'd be so weird!
[ Not like Yondu didn't joke about that once upon a time, but let's not bring up the daddy issues, huh? ]
Right! It's home. Plus, I've been living in space since I was practically a kid—if you ask me, it's weirder seeing a place that's all humans.
Star-Lord is cool! There's a band and everything— [ He balks. ] They probably just don't exist in your world, cause you'd have heard of them. They're the best, I'll have to show you their jams!
[ They're also from the 80s, which is definitely before Peter was born. But Quill has never seemed older than this... not that he cares, but dude. ]
Oh, yeah, she can mind-whammy people. She did that Drax that one time, it was wild.
[ He shakes his head. That actually sucked, but they did end up saving him, so. Talking about his friends is obviously the easiest way to get Quill to smile. ]
Nah, why would I? There's nothing for me there. My family... I mean, my deadbeat dad was king of a planet but he never wanted anything to do with me so... [ He shrugs. ] All I'd want from Terra would be some new tunes, but most of the bands I'm into I can find records for out in space, anyway.
(gotta know, because he sounds like... prehistorical. especially with the footlose comment. that does not go forgiven.)
Is that a normal thing? Like, aliens just. Have that stuff?
Ah, then that's what happened. (he sensed a disturbance in the daddy issues.) You know music evolves, right? You gotta try new stuff every now and then.
Wha--hey! I'm only 33, I'm not that old! Just 'cause you're like fifteen...
[ He rolls his eyes dramatically. This is obviously for effect. He isn't actually disparaging Peter's age, because he's too nice for that. ]
I mean, some of them do. Other planets and species have all kind of weird powers. Mantis is like, the "Celestial Madonna" or something, so I think hers is special. But who're trees and others with like, flaming hair and they can fly and stuff... Ooh, and Drax's planet was all people who were super tough! So, yeah, powers are pretty normal.
[ Not that Quill has any. But that's fine with him, he just has to work extra hard to keep up (story of his life.) Thank you for skipping the daddy issues though, that was a smart move, Peter. ]
Sure, I mean my mom liked disco but that sucked. [ Horrible. ] I'm sure you guys have invented like, new disco. Or... new metal? But most of what I've heard come out lately's boring. There's not enough guitar. Or synth!
[ To be clear, the last Earth thing he probably heard was over ten years ago, which puts him probably somewhere in the late 90s, early 2000s. He did not like it. ]
(very close to seventeen, actually, if it weren't for the whole thing. hey, maybe he could celebrate a little, he just thought of that! but then, what exactly would he do? a party? nah, that'd be lame, he isn't that cool for parties, and all that attention would be weird. besides, who here would even want to attend his birthday, he doesn't even know anyone.)
Yeah, no, not for us, we have just... The Avengers, I think, and the Asgardians like Thor? They're aliens too, though Thor is IN the Avengers, so that was accounted for...
(why are they like this.)
What?! Disco is not that bad, is just dead. Man, if my suit was working properly, I could definitely catch you up. This sucks.
[ Old enough to break out of Chitauri jail, huh? Quill seems well-appeased though, he doesn't think 16 is "too young," at least. He'll always have a soft spot for kids after what he went through. ]
I don't really keep up with news from Terra. I mean, I helped out back when Thanos and the Chitauri almost took over Mercury back in the War, but that was as close as I'd been in years. I think I've heard of the Avengers, though? They sound kinda familiar. Oh! I think the Collector has a frog Thor that I saw last time I was on Knowhere. He's got the helmet with the wings, right?
[ There is in fact a frog Thor in the Collector's collection. ]
Lucky for you, my tech works.
[ He unhooks his walkman from his hip. It is 100% a cassette player. It has been upgraded to hell and back, though. He seems really excited about this, though. ]
What's your frequency? If I can tune into it on my walkman, I can send you some of my tunes!
MMMM, not so close? Almost 17, just a couple of months!
(old enough to save new york! he does not like the idea of being 'too young'. it gets into his head a-pretty quick, not that mr. stark helps, with the names he gives. 'baby monitor', 'training wheels'... it is bad on his morale, makes him do some things that he definitely shouldn't. like disable those.)
Yeah, see, that's kinda it! Those Chitauri? Invaded Earth. The Avengers-- Thor just has great hair, sorry to tell you, but yeah. They came to Earth. Then Thanos came a few years after, and now that's it.
(a slowblink ensues, that is SO OLD. this man is SO OLD.)
Hey, my tech works! I just can't get into Spotify. Music is online now, no one records it. But okay, let's try--
(his hands move around, not that quill can see what he's doing behind the mask. soon, his webshooter shows a hologram with a couple of numbers.)
[ He was off by a year and change, that's pretty damn good for a guy who hasn't seen a human-looking teenager since Nikki Gold, who he thought was his daughter. But surprisingly Quill's horrible teen years means he doesn't put down
Oof, but talk of Chitaur gets Quill to suck in a breath. ]
Yikes, man. In my world they were working together. I mean, the Chitauri have always been bad news, but... yeah. They dragged the whole galaxy into the war, blew up Kree-Lar and everything. Probably would've done the same thing to Terra if I hadn't help stop 'em.
[ Could it be? Could Peter Jason Quill be the core difference between these two worlds? No, absolutely not. But Quill is going to think so, or at least entertain the idea for a while. But now it's Quill's turn to not have a clue what Peter is talking about, because he's never heard of Spotify, and can't imagine not having his own music.
Which is clearly why his tech is superior. Because his ancient-looking Walkman can in fact scan the numbers for Peter's frequency and hook him up to his network. This means you're officially on the team, Peter. You can join in on the Team Huddles now!!
But more importantly, it means he can start listening to Quill's playlist. Yes, it does in fact start with a Rickroll (and Quill has no idea that's a meme.) ]
Wait, lemme start you with a Star-Lord song, they're better than Rick Astley.
Nope, two years and ten days off. That's 12.63% wrong, and statistically, that's not very high, you know. You're not winning a lottery with that.
(insert the huge calculus done to achieve that number.
but anyway--)
See, then where was my you when they came around...
(but that matters nothing when the first song starts and it's fucking rick roll. give him a second because he needs a tree to support him as he laughs his ass off.)
You're like super smart, huh? [ Quill levels him a look, disbelief but also... he won't tease him. Yet. They're not close enough yet. Yet. ] But you're the one who said you weren't seventeen yet! I'm just going off of what you said, man.
[ He shrugs, because math is so not his wheelhouse. Now, Rocket, he would argue to the ends of the earth about math. ]
Dude, it's just Rick Astley! [ Why is Peter laughing. ] I mean, he's kind of lame, but it's not that bad.
[ He does indeed skip. Kickstart My Heart is way cooler anyway. ]
Lemme see if I can remember how many skips it takes to get to Star-Lord.
[ It's a Walkman, it's not like it has a screen.... ]
Okay, I gotta tell you-- So, basically? That's a meme, dude. It's like, when something funny happens and goes viral. So like, long ago they started making these posts online - whenever you clicked a link or a video, it would go to the music video of that song, it has traumatized a generation!
(he can't stop laughing regardless of the fact that the song is long gone, because - of course quill wouldn't know. the next song is cool, though, it can stay on the background.)
Whoa, slow down. You're using a lot of words that I don't know, dude.
[ But despite not having a ton of schooling, Quill is smart. He picked up life in space, he can grasp the idea. Going "viral" may not make much sense, but judging by Peter's laughter, it must have been a pretty big joke. ]
Basically, you're saying people sent each other his vid like, as a prank? It is pretty catchy...
[ You have given Quill a very powerful weapon, Peter. An extremely powerful weapon. His eyes glint with a hint of mischief. He is very pleased to hear that pranks have not gone out of style on earth.
He literally has that song at the start of his playlist cause it's poppy and energetic, but now... ]
And going viral is... good? Just making sure I get it.
[ He waves a hand. He has no idea what the internet is. It was not a thing he had access to, needless to say. ]
Psh. There's a net out in space too!
[ A... bounty network. And a Nova Network. And several smaller networks, but they're out there. They're just definitely not something where people send each other funny gifs or videos, but he thinks he knows. ]
I totally get it. And Rick-Rolling is a "meme," which is like when joke or a prank gets popular.
[ He has never felt older than this moment, but it's so important to keep up with what's hip. ]
