[There's a couple of reasons Peter is making this post ~~before his falls off the page.~~. One, he'd like to assure people here that he's not some sort of crazy gun wielding dick - most of the time.

Two, Rocket had said, point blank. These are your people and apart from occasionally wondering what had happened to his grandpa and grandma he hadn't given earth a second thought. When you live on a space ship full of aliens, you spend most of your time figuring out how to survive. Missing home wasn't really something he'd considered. Especially since Yondu let him drive a space ship. At ten.

Three, ...He's bored. He's bored as hell and there's nobody with any tech worth this side of a Flarkin's tit to play with. Nothing to steal. Nothing to do.

So here's Peter. In a ninja turtle shirt looking thoughtful.]

Hey uh...Wonderland.

So this one goes out to all my fellow terrans. [pause] Humans. It's a habit.

...I am in the market. For pop culture recommendations. Specifically relating to the period between 1989 and uh...2014. Movies and TV shows specifically. Stuff to watch.

[someone introduce him to the wonder that is video games]

Cause space. Has a serious lack of good TV shows. I mean the day that humanity actually gets into space our biggest contribution will literally be amazing television. Xandarian TV, while nice, has a real lack of car chases, fight scenes, and punches.

Also uh.

[here he shifts]

So this goes out to anybody specifically from my earth. That's the one with Captain America. Cause he's here. [And holy shit that was weird in and of itself.]

[He swallows.] What're you guys watching?

[How is earth. He's just going to sit here and nod. Curiously.]

....That's a rather..broad timeframe.

[Recently Fitz has discovered that it's a lot easier to communicate with people when he doesn't use video.

So let's see if he can actually hold a conversation, yeah?]

Gives people more of an opportunity to work with stuff. And decide things. [Seriously]

[ Cue suspicious look. Because Captain America? His dad. ]

Captain America is in your world? What about Iron Man?

( so kate? is still trying to overcome the shock of....everything. her sudden arrival here, this place being the wonderland and a few hundred other things besides. in face, that only thing she's currently been able to accept is the whole magical closet thing, which is why she's currently dressed like she's headed for church, all modest sundress and pink cardigan.

alright, so it's not nearly as cool as the ninja turtles. just forgive her for attempting to find logic in anything he just said. )

So where you like an astronaut back home or something?

( she wants logic, but doesn't attempt to hide the disbelief written all over her face. )

...Who?

[wow. the irony isn't lost on him] Captain america's an old comic book hero. He was a real guy supposedly too but like, he died...I thought.

And I remember the comic books.

[He'll offer classes one day. How to be 80s levels of cool]

Nah. I wanted to be.

Well. Okay I guess I could be. I'm... [a rule breaker] considered one. Could be considered one.

I left earth years ago. I live in space.

Nice dress.

Why is it such a broad timeframe though? That's what I meant.

Cause that's how long I was off earth.

[Why not just be open about it. He shrugs his shoulders]

Never mind.

[ He's disappointed. ]

He was real in my world.

........You were in space?

[Pop culture you say? Ok, you have Gabriel's attention, and not just because you're mentioning aliens. You're also mentioning pop culture and he's curious and bored and nobody wants an ex-Trickster to get bored.] Suppose that depends on what you're in the market for, Sparky.

Action kinda guy, huh? [Gabriel taps his chin in thought for a moment.] Might have a few I could recommend. First I've gotta ask. Why such a specific time period?

[ it's honestly incredible how much his video makes her miss stiles. it's like a knife to the gut, slowly creeping up the back of her neck. movies and tv shows? god. okay no, she can do this.

allison smiles when she's finally got her video going, pulling on an easy enough mask. just keep on trucking, right? ]

There's a whole lot of movies that came out...after 2010 I think about superheros. Batman, superman, Captain America, Iron Man. They're all pretty great for fight scenes and stuff like that. [ she likes them, but that's not saying much. her taste in movies is...somewhat stilted in that direction. ]

If you're into searching by like, actor or something, my friend and I both would recommend Harrison Ford. The Indiana Jones series, Blade Runner, Star Wars... [ okay, she's only looking a little sheepish, but she's telling herself she has to do this because stiles can't, isn't here to. ] Top Gun, Con Air and Independence Day are all my dad's favorites, but if you're from space I don't know what you'd think about Independence Day. A lot of car chases, explosions, all that sort of stuff.

I'm not really big on TV though, so I don't think I'd be a lot of help. Sorry.

....Oh Solo. You missed the prequels.

[Skye's face is the picture of distress.]

I am so sorry.

[Vanessa would help him if she could, but it was glaringly apparent that she was out of her depths when it came to what he referred to as pop culture.]

I am afraid I do not know what TV shows are, and that most of what you have mentioned is unfamiliar to me.

[There was a light frown, before she replaced it with a polite smile.]

As well as that I come from a time prior to what you speak of. But, pardon me, did you say space?

Yeah. Uh -

[Peter looks down at his hands] I left earth in 1989. When I was a kid.

I know it's not something that happens, and I'm not-

[I'm not an alien, he almost said. Except he's been mulling over what the Nova Corps said about that and he shakes his head]

Not some kind of weird freak.

[Peter frowns. Kid looks sad.

Wow there's...responsibility with other kids. I mean at least the kids - he's sort of stared at aren't his and have parents. Aren't human.] I'm sorry dude.

He sounds pretty cool.

Anything you want Chevy. [because sparky=chevy chase = clark w. griswald.] Open to action, adventure, sci-fi, comics.

I left earth. Came back. Looking to catch up with TV and beer.

I was busy making the Kessel run Leia. These things happen.

[she's STILL CALLING HIM SOLO SCORE.]

Prequels to what?

Edited 2014-11-12 15:29 (UTC)

Here's the cool thing I will literally watch anything. It's awesome.

[He considers all of these choices, writing a couple of them down. Superman - okay. Captain America...]

Captain America's a real person.

[apparently. He pauses] Like he's here. My grandpa would have had a fit.

[He got his mom turned onto the comics and that's safer then talking about how she had honestly probably hoped some of Steve Rogers's goodness and his friendships would have rubbed off on her little Star Lord.] He was a huge fan.

Blade Runner I actually never saw. Star Wars though. I mean. [C'mon] Han Solo is the man. Harrison Ford is amazing.

[Calm down man. He considers this however] Let's pick one though and you can tell me the merits of it. Independence Day. what's it about?

[Wow. Someone who's from farther away then he is?]

Big, black, full of stars. No sound in space too for some weird reason. [He shrugs] Ask me anything.

I can't promise I'll know it but I can try.

[ she laughs a little at that, eyebrows shifting up. literally anything? whatever you do, don't talk to her best friend. you do not need to watch the notebook a hundred million times. ]

Yeah, here he is. He wasn't for me back home. [ or, well, real in the actual talking person sense. ] Comics and movies, yes, but not like- real real. Black Widow is here too, and a bunch of others.

[ but yes, back to the more important things. like harrison ford. ]

Blade Runner is very 80s, or...early 90s? [ shrug. ] It gets a little awkward at one point but the set is really cool. But yeah, definitely Indiana Jones too. The third one's the best one but you kind of have to watch the first two.

[ or don't, that's okay. allison will keep talking about harrison ford if she needs to. ]

Aliens invading the earth and wanting to kill humankind so they can use the planet's resources. The US decides to fight back and Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith save the day by riding an alien ship to the mothership and blowing it up. [ a beat, and then when she realizes that might not be the most amazing thing he's ever heard... ] It's really cool.

[Wait.] Who's Black Widow? [Slow down now. Real real? What's real real how do you define that?] I mean Captain America's got comics in my world, but he was a real guy too.

[So wait what does that mean does that mean...He can't even think about it.]

...Aliens invade earth and want to kill humans for the resources?

[He squints] They're not blue are they? Blue, needle teeth, kind of anal about justice?

Black...Widow? [ who's black widow? come on now. ] Badass spy superhero? She works with Captain America and Iron Man. I thought they were all from the same world? [ and then she nods, trying to figure out the best way to go about explaining this. ] In my world he was just a fictional character. We didn't have Superheroes; or I mean, not ones that wore uniforms and saved the whole world kind of thing. He was real as a character, but not as a person, if that makes sense?

[ and then she's grinning, because we're talking about her favorite movie here so of course she would be. ]

Yeah. And no- more green and brown and spider-y. Big black eyes, big heads, communicate telepathically? And less on justice, more on...destruction? And extinction? Kind of?

I'm kind of behind the times, seeing as how I might be from that world too. I know Captain America - not Iron man.

[He considers this for a moment, nodding, and going back to the aliens.]

...I'm gonna have to watch this I think. They sound gross as hell and I am all about that. Plus explosions. Wouldn't happen in a world with real aliens I'd like to think. But that works.

I was just brought up to speed. I've got a boyfriend who is really into comics, and when they all started showing up he wanted to make sure I knew where they were from.

[ nevermind her dc-bias. that was an embarrassing time for everyone. ]

They destroy entire cities, too. Just park the space ship right over them and- [ she makes the hand motion and sound effect to indicate giant explosion. ] Plus the President gives one of the coolest motivational speeches of all time in that movie.

[ a beat, and then because she's curious and doesn't even care- ]

Real aliens aren't that into explosions, I'm guessing?
