A Public Service Announcement:

Star-Lord is the handsomest, funniest, most modest guy around with the sweetest singing voice and the sickest dance moves. It’s an absolute privilege and delight to call him a friend. My days are enriched for knowing him and fuller for speaking with him.

Everyone adores him. They think he’s a righteous dude.





P.S. – Gamora, you shouldn’t leave your comm lying around unlocked. xoxo Star-Lord

Kevin Bacon.

[summertimeblues]

Who?

[Hold on wait]

Oh, oh, you mean that, oh shit. What was that film? He was the kid in that movie with John Lithgow, right? About the town with no dancing?

[nostalgiabomb]

Yep. The incomparable Footloose.

[summertimeblues]

Was it incomparable?

[nostalgiabomb]

Absolutely.

[ it's only the best film ever. come on.

... Aside from the original Star Wars films.

let's hope no one tells him about the prequels. ]

[summertimeblues]

[what prequels? didn't the last one come out like two years ago?]

Well if you want to go nuts for a buff dude shaking it in tight jeans, I won't stop you.

[nostalgiabomb]

I mean, I appreciate it? But it's not like I was asking for permission in the first place.

[summertimeblues]

[Hold up.]

Wait, how old were you when you watched it?

[nostalgiabomb]

—I dunno how that's relevant.

[summertimeblues]

Because you're a grown man mooning over a teen idol. I mean hell, I thought James Dean was hot shit back in the day too.

[nostalgiabomb]

I’m not mooning over him, I’m just acknowledging that the man is talented.

But, I dunno. Six? Seven?

[godslay]

... Is Kevin Bacon not a legendary hero of Earth?

[summertimeblues]

What? No! He's an actor. One with some slick dance moves I'll grant you but just a pretty face for the camera to soak up.

Who told you he was a hero?

[beatupgrass]

[CACKLING] Oh Quill is super dead now.

[summertimeblues]

I feel like I'm missing half a story here.

[beatupgrass]

Only the legend of Footloose from Earth, apparently. Quill had us all convinced that stupid story was just something Earth mommies and daddies tell their kids at bedtime.

[summertimeblues]

What? Are you serious? [and why?] Maybe if they really did ban dancing in the future but fuck, I can't see that having much more success than Prohibition.

[after a moment, because this is a "space raccoon"]

Which was a ban on liquor, by the way.

[beatupgrass]

... That's a thing that happens?

[summertimeblues]

With very little success, I assure you. I'm told the parties just got wilder.

[godslay]

The soon-to-be-deceased person who stole my comm and made this post.

[summertimeblues]

Well then, I'll have to go funeral shopping for a nice suit. Pass on my condolences and tell me when the service is going live.

[godslay]

It doesn't have to be a nice suit.

[summertimeblues]

[A bark of laughter rings over the line.]

Yeowch! You're really gonna boot his ass into orbit aren't you?

[godslay]

We'll see.

[ Anyone else: definitely a yes.

Peter Quill: he gets away with a lot.

... He at least owes her dinner or something to make up for being an idiot. ]

[summertimeblues]

Go easy on him, will ya? He seems like a good time. We've all been lacking sorely in that as of late.
