Hi Tranquility.

[ Meet Peter Parker, who doesn't often use video, but video seems like a less weird medium in this moment. The effects of his sickness are pretty much gone, and apparently, he's shacked up in Communication despite his designation being blank, department-wise. In the background is Harry Osborn, who appears to be ignoring what's happening, despite that Peter takes a moment to adjust the sit of his video feed to include him. ]

Peter, here. Um. When I first got here, I asked around for music players and stuff, and-- that's not a great barter system, obviously, especially if you can't even reliably charge your devices, so, we -- this guy, me, other people -- would like to bring you Spunes.

As in like tunes, space tunes. Not cutlery.

[ There is a pause, as if he's considering how he could have delivered that better. Behind him, Harry briefly lowers his face into his hands. ]

Yep, um. So, it's an app you can download onto your comms device -- I'll attach a link to the download to this -- and you can listen to music through it. We have caught up to the early 2000s, technologically, so, yay, for that. The, uh, the music actually comes from you. Right now we have one person's iPod treasures uploaded, but we'll need more, probably, no offense Darcy.

[ Harry interjects, without actually looking up-- ] Lewis, I’ve seen your contributions and I’m ashamed of you.

--we are accepting all music, so don't worry about that. Um, so yeah, if you wanna share, contact this guy at zero-32, zero-21, he will be nice. Or. You know. He'll upload your music, anyway. If you need help charging your devices, I've been working with Hank McCoy to make some chargers that'll be compatible with-- this place, generally, but we may need to customise based on what models you have, so let us know.

I think that's it. I'll play us out, how about that.

[ The video feed shifts a little as he fidgets with its controls, and then 'Fancy' by Iggy Azalea suddenly all but overpowers the feed. He grins immediately. ]

Oh man, Harry, it's your song.

[ Cue dancing. Not a lot of dancing. Just chair-grooving, definitely lip syncing, but it's enough to provoke reaction in the form of Harry’s slow, deliberate rise from his chair. He turns. He considers his options. Upon conclusion, he kneels on his rolling chair with one knee and uses the other foot to slowly, purposefully and very quietly close the distance, coming up behind Peter like he’s Jaws.

With great sense of solemnity, he catches Peter by the head and shoves his face into his armpit. ]

Make him stop.

[ Peter's grasping hands pause, and resume a kind of hand dance, but then the video ends. ]

[ As promised, there is an attachment that leads to the app tagged onto the post. Feel free to go nuts with it! ]

[ Kate is framed against a cabin wall from a slightly upward angle, like she's holding the phone between bent knees. She still looks kind of burnt out, but her smile is real and excited. ]

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

[adhesion]

Ah shucks, Kate Bishop.

[ His smile is genuine, though, pleased she likes it. ]

It'll be a team effort anyways, if people play along.

[ There's a laugh as Gwen shifts into focus. ]

I so did not take you for an Iggy Azalea fan, Peter.

[adhesion]

There are a lot of things you don't know about me.

[ It is a joke; deadpan dryness, but his expression gives him away. ]

I'm a complicated guy, Gwen.

[ Enjoy Darcy's still-pale and rather incredulous expression. ]

I will have you know that new Hanson is fantastic, Osborn!

[instincts]

So, are you gonna throw a party?

[ Isn't this the logical extension of having music aboard now? ]

[borndying]

Hell, y--

( wait how old is she. )

--probably. We gonna throw a party, Pinky? ( peter. he's just rolling with it, blame kate. )

[dogbane]

Well fuck.

[There's laughter catching in there somewhere.]

If there was an entertainment and entrepreneurship department I'd vote you in as head, mate.

[ There's an answering laugh. ]

Probably there isn't one because it isn't vital to the ship's maintenance, but you know, that's what they said in that dancey Kevin Bacon movie.

[sacrifica]

Why spunes? Other than the obvious space tunes.

voice.

[adhesion]

Oh, well--

--no, that's basically it. Space tunes. Spunes. I guess some people know what iTunes is, too, and might make it sound familiar. Harry wanted uTunes and I vetoed it.

[majestyofthethrone]

Classical?

[borndying]

Is a musical genre. Correct. Gold star.

[postscriptum]

You guys are cute. Nice idea, too.

[borndying]

( FINGERGUNS. )

[adhesion]

Haha.

[ More or less suave than fingerguns? Hard to say. ]

Thank you. About the idea. And the-- yeah.

( audio )

[pushfall]

This is awesome.

Thanks! Let us know if it glitches on you or anything.

anon + 80% encryption is clearly necessary for this question

[lostsoldier]

anything older? 30s/40s/50s?

[adhesion]

we just got some jazz stuff?
John Coltrane
Charlie Parker
Miles Davis
Charles Mingus
Herbie Hancock altho I think that's more contemporary

that was from the last guy that did something like this
I can have a dig through stuff as we get it but it's not really my thing

no problem
let us know if there's any bugs

[traumata]

Hi.

[ Pardon some fumbling with the device. Deft zombie hands, etc. ]

Sorry, hi, my name's Kieren. It said you're working on adding CDs— have you already got some?

voice; how's this icon

[adhesion]

Hey, Kieren. Good question. We actually--

[ Muffled voices, him shouting a question. With better clarity: that'd work, right? ]

Sorry. We don't have any yet, actually. You do?

voice;

[doggedly]

[please tell me Serenade Me More Ladies actually has Snape's name attached to it because if so w h a t]

I'm going to stop myself from casting too much judgement on the musical tastes of this ship, especially as neither of you are actually at fault for said tastes. [mostly. hopefully. thinking the best of you Spuners until proved otherwise.] but that said, have you got anything that converts LPs?

[borndying]

( drawling -- )

I said I wanted veto power, but I was overruled.

And ... we might have to get creative for that one.

[overdraws]

Oh, wow, this is really cool.

[ Allison's taken the time to look it over, and has actually already snagged a couple of the playlists. ] If my iPod ever shows up here, I'll upload some stuff, too?

video

[adhesion]

Yeah, please do. And if anything breaks, with the app, you'll let us know?

Picture me lazily saluting from my desk. [M...ostly because he's camera shy.]

Questioning if I should skip beyond '73. A guy has to have some things to look forward to.

[adhesion]

I don't know I'm pretty sure the 70s are meant to be some kind of musical golden age and art is dead now
but they probably said that in the 70s too
also I thought you were 60s?
