Archivist Catch-All

WHO: Jon & YOU
WHERE: Coruscant - Various places
WHAT: Coruscant Event catch-all. Some open, some closed prompts. See what your little Eldritch avatar has been doing...
WHEN: Coruscant Event
WARNINGS: One of them includes Tony. Approach at own risk.

The Perfect Gift [ OPEN ]

Coruscant is- A lot. A lot of city, a lot of people a lot of- Everything. Even for Jon, who has been living in London for a good decade now. But even London seems unnaturally small compared to Coruscant. And yet living there has ensured that Jon isn't intimidated by crowds. In fact, he has come to find himself quite capable of adjusting himself to their situation and as he learns more about the planet and its inhabitants, Jon also learns more about how to navigate it and find that which he is looking for.

Which proves invaluable While out to acquire goods and supplies he deems useful for their inevitable return to Temba.

It's a long list Jon has for himself. A variety of clothes and footwear are on it, including some actual swimwear, equipment and supplies for his little chemistry lab, writing utensils, notepads, new variants of tea and other luxuries, a couple of handy little tools and - Gifts. And especially those gifts prove to be the difficult part. Since the person Jon is trying to find a gift for is none other than Tony. The man that tries to fix everything and constantly makes gifts for others himself. Finding a gift for such a man is harder than one might wish to think.

Apparently a selection of treats are about to become part of the assortment of gifts Jon has already picked up and he is currently studying the packaging of what may be actual chocolate. One can never go wrong with some sweets and a good wine. Jon smiles softly to himself and his attention drifts over to something that is either a futuristic bottle opener or a very peculiar toy, making him frown before reaching out to pick it up, vaguely addressing either the person next to him or no one in particular. "No idea what this is, but- I'm curious."


Being A Monster [ OPEN ]

Some may say it is ill-advised for Jon to be heading down into the lower levels of this multi-layered city. And yet here he is, his worn clothes and too large poncho making him easily melt into the crowd of beings who ignore his seeking stare. A stare that isn't seeking for difficulties with finding its target, but rather because every being down here proves to be a remarkably suited target for his needs.

He takes the easy route and turns into the next bar he passes. There are plenty of dreadful stories here for him to request, confine to memory and later record. Which will have to wait until they are back in Temba, since his tape recorder has not been brought along on this trip.

It's later that night - Or maybe early the next morning that the Archivist returns to the hotel they are all staying in. His steps swaying a little from the alcohol, but a contentment rarely seen by many on his expression. He even gives a cheerful wave to anyone else he encounters at this odd hour. "Someone is up early!"


Among Force Sensitives [ CLOSED to Obi-Wan ]

It's not without a healthy degree of trepidation that Jon walks up to the intimidating structure that he has been told to be the Jedi Temple. He is dressed in a set of new clothes, which he assumes to be local enough in style and clear of the wear and grime of the clothes he has been wearing down over the past months on Agra 10. Well fitting grey pants covering the better part of dark boots and a light, long-sleeved tunic paired with a very functional messenger bag is just one outfit the Archivist has come to pick up so far and he finds himself particularly happy to now own some footwear that isn't meant to be purely decorative while one spends the better part of the day behind a desk.

Though even his new attire doesn't fully keep Jon from pausing briefly in his steps to look up the massive building. Home and training ground of the Jedi. Jedi like Cal and Obi-Wan and Ezra. Beings sensitive to an energy field called The Force.

Beings that can sense something is not right with him.

Jon swallows once, hand tightening around the strap of his bag before he pushes forward, expression set into a stubborn set of determination. It will be fine. The Jedi Master has agreed to accompany him into the Temple, meaning Jon won't be heading in there by himself. It will be fine.

At the top of the stairs, he comes to another stop, finding himself looking up at massive columns of a height that raises questions for the Archivist. Questions he will be keeping to himself at least for the time being before taking his attention back down and looking around for the man he is supposed to meet up here at the very entrance of the Temple, muttering to himself. "...Christ. I hope he hasn't forgotten."


It's a date! [ CLOSED to Tony ]

New clothes that actually fit him and that Jon feels good in are but one of the things this planet has provided. Another thing is the chance to get his hair cut back to a more reasonable length, get the items required for a decent shave and of course have a proper bath. Small luxuries that add noticeably to Jon feeling human again. And to provide him with the confidence to ask Tony out for a proper date. How many chances like this will they get anyway?

The beings tending to their needs at their hotel have been quite helpful to him with setting everything up and recommending the right places not too far away. From a good, rather exclusive restaurant high up in a tall spire looming over Coruscant's upper level along with similar, yet distant skyscrapers and providing an excellent view to an artificially created and very unique park at the very base of said spire to the suggestion of a sensual and very private message provided by specially programmed droids up in their hotel's poshest suite offered by the beings in charge of the hotel tending to their guest's needs. Being that are remarkably eager to please this easy source of good credits. And after all these months on Agra 10, Jon has very little qualms about spending what the Agrii provide them with.

Having arrived a little early, Jon has already been seated at one of the rather few tables the restaurant actually possesses. All set apart and separated with strategically placed pots filled with colorful alien flora and a stunning view out of the large windows making up the entire outer walls of the place. A soft tune hangs in the air that Jon listens idly to while looking out of the window, over the city and every once in a while daring a glance down, feeling a bit thankful that Mike Crew hasn't instilled an even greater fear of heights into him. His hands are loosely clasped in front of him on the table, having very little to do at the moment.

When he hears a set of footsteps approaching, Jon turns his attention away from the window to greet who he assumes to be Tony with a gently, yet genuine smile.

Tony's muscles twitched attentively under Jon's hand, and he apparently took the squeeze as an invitation to work his foot under Jon's knee and hook around his ankle until Tony had them tangled securely, his heart against Jon's back and temple resting against his head. There wasn't anything in this mess on the bed that Tony thought he would find nearly so disappointing, even without having his sweet craving yet satisfied, feeling quite undeservedly well treated as it was until Jon figured out that he could escape. "Is that what this place made you miss the most? Chocolate?" he ventured, which sounded more serious than Tony was hoping in order to trick a serious answer out of Jon, so with his fingers linked through Jon's to draw their hands along together, he tickled a feather-light pattern up the exposed honey of Jon's belly and suggested, "We can't just leave you unsatisfied."

It was the kind of answer Tony was hoping to get, despite raising his eyebrows at how food-focused these indulgences were from the guy who didn't really eat, and wondered again at Jon sounding so put out by the idea that he might take care of people. Tony was already smiling warmly for it when Jon looked up and ready to press a kiss to his cheek, releasing his hand to cradle his jaw instead and encourage him to meet Tony's lips. That giggle could not be abandoned, not something Tony had heard nearly enough in Jon's array of yelps and complaints, so Tony picked up where he had left off with his hold still warming under Jon's shirt, tickling up his core and tracing the flat valley of his sternum until his shirt was gathered against Tony's wrist at his collar. If Tony was going to throw it across the room with everything else in his way, he was going to have to surrender this kiss, so his fingers tightened slowly around the fabric instead.

The laughter kept every broken kiss light and brief as Tony grinned against Jon's mouth every time in return, and dropped the touch to Jon's face back down his body to hug him tightly and keep him from squirming too much. Eventually, Tony's toothy smile was a punitive nip to Jon's lip like he had any control over Tony's teasing, teeth dragging slowly as Tony tipped them incrementally over in their tangled hold so he could deposit Jon back onto the bed where he would be that much easier to torment. Tony withdrew his hug to finally push the shirt up over Jon's head and shove it blindly away, leaving him propped on an elbow to offer Jon his fangy smirk properly. "Hmm, there must be something here..." he sang, as though he had no idea how he might successfully satisfy Jon, picking up another alluring package from by his head to tear open again with his teeth. This candy was soft, like a marshmallow or a spongy cake, and Tony held it delicately where Jon could reach it this time.

The gooey centre was a fun surprise that Tony took his time reacting to, instinctively starting to twist the candy in his hand to try to catch the drip then stayed the movement with a chuckle at Jon's review and the colour drizzling in threads across his mouth, waiting briefly for him to figure out the easy solution to this problem. To Jon, that was apparently complaining about it, which only set Tony laughing more for having expected anything else before he was finally snatching the candy away to take care of it easily in his own mouth. Holding it so long had already set it dissolving partially against the warming of his skin, so it was a much less helpful move when he reached back to swipe his thumb through the mess on Jon's lip, dotting more sugar up Jon's cheek from his fingertips. "That one's not bad," he decided with another smirk and licked his own lips with appreciation.

The accusation was entirely unfair because Jon should have been entirely aware that pouting like that was only an invitation for a kiss that smeared the mess further as Tony snickered at the sticky tug of sugar in his beard. While Jon tried to manage any further disaster, Tony took his chance to draw more of the colour over his chin and down his neck until there was only a crystalline scratch of sugar to drag over his collarbone, Tony's fingers dancing there while he watched Jon's and the pink curl of his tongue with dark-eyed interest. "Am I?" he asked, not quite managing to sound like he wasn't trying to meet that challenge. "Someone will have to do something about that."

There was only time for the smallest tick of Tony's smirk before his sticky hand was jumping away from Jon's collar to capture his wrist instead, accepting the jab of Jon's fingers as though they weren't any different than the candy Tony had offered to him and taking two into his mouth. At first, he stopped there, with Jon's fingertips held gently against his lips pillowed around them in the soft pout of a kiss, his gaze meeting Jon's incongruously sharp as he calculated the combative value of this malicious compliance against making a bigger mess to irritate Jon into a stricter yet response. He did have two hands.

Keeping his eye locked on Jon's, Tony had to search blindly between them for any packages that hadn't been batted away yet, pushing his thumb into Jon's palm again to stop him from reflexively clenching his fist at the inviting touch of Tony's tongue to his fingers. What he produced from the blankets was a malleable pouch with a flimsy cap to be torn off, something that could have been a sugary powder or a paste by Tony's estimation, making him raise his eyebrows in a very dangerous delight as he squeezed.

The effectiveness, and shininess, of the whim was startling enough to Tony as well that he huffed a strangled laugh, reluctant to release Jon's hand or the weight of his fingers on his tongue. It was not sustainable when he met Jon's eye again, though, the expression forcing a giggle out of Tony that knocked him on his back, shaking with it where he was wedged between the pillows and Jon's shoulder. "I don't remember ever popping off that early, look, I still have my pants on, really, that mess is your own fault, you should know by now how excitable I am," he goaded as he brought the candy pouch up before his eyes to consider briefly, then toss dismissively away off of the bed and lick at the splatter of cream that had oozed down his knuckles. "Oh, chocolate," he muttered around his hand with new surprise. "And...pop rocks," was the only way he had to describe the accompanying tingling sensation on his lips.

Tony's wincing and protective grabbing of his arm after the punch was not a particularly convincing performance with his still impish grin, and was quickly forgotten as Tony was set laughing again by Jon's reliably dry grumbling about his facial. The kiss then was a much bigger threat than Jon's punching because it was very possible that Tony might die of suffocation, making him bring a hand up against Jon's chest in a perfunctory attempt to slow him down so Tony could catch his breath as he bowed close. That was a death Tony was willing to risk. His hand passed up over Jon's shoulder and around his neck to curl fingers still sticky with sour marshmallow filling into his hair and keep him close until Tony's hysterics were under control enough to hold Jon in a deep kiss. The tingling slide of his tongue was an acceptable replacement for the sugary press of his fingers, making Tony push up hungrily into the kiss and work his hand between them up through the mess on Jon's jaw, only to make himself laugh again at the smear of the candy. "It's not a bad look on you," he offered in a dark purr, sharp twist of his smirk returning against Jon's lips. "Don't you want to make your mark?"

Tony had to hold a deep breath so his exhale wasn't so embarrassingly unsteady with relief at Jon's cool touch against his anxiously heated skin, muscles twitching and goosebumps already raising under Jon's fingers. He released it as a sigh into another kiss, his thumb tickling over Jon's chin to tease him open to the study of Tony's tongue until they were equally embarrassingly breathless with it and Tony could nip pointedly at Jon's lip again to murmur, "Barely."

He shifted enough that he wasn't holding Jon anymore to find his kiss, hand trailing down from Jon's chin to tease a thumb along his throat instead and the other passing up through his hair to drop limply onto the bed over Tony's head. "I've been thinking about--" he started, second guessing it as he realized this wasn't really something they had talked about so much as the way that Jon could talk, making Tony's eyes dart with a nervousness that he tried to hide in another slow kiss before he continued. "Sometimes you talk about me, about us, like we belong to each other," he tried more carefully, and his face screwed up slightly because it was a possessive language that left Tony feeling aberrant and off-balance, but with a flush that made his whole body feel hot. Okay, it was definitely better half a second ago when it was supposed to just make Jon squirm.

Tony in no way meant to suggest they stop sharing kisses, and in fact might have worked smoother if they had continued instead of stumbling them into that answer from Jon which Tony didn't immediately know what to do with and tugged at the insatiable ache in his chest. He released that knot of anxiety at once in a breathless, "Yeah, so..." then started to laugh, lifting his hand from the bed again to cover his own face before either of them could examine too closely how honest that answer was, dropping his other hand further to curl under Jon's arm and smooth up his back. This was not the conversation he meant to start. "Stop being sweet when I'm horny, I'm trying to do something here," he complained, still behind his hand with his face crinkled in a grin.

"Okay, yeah," he decided more confidently when he pushed his hand up through his hair to offer that smile in his eyes to Jon, "I have been thinking about that, a lot, and my fantasies are very healthy, don't worry about it." More soberly, with a delicate touch mapped across Jon's cheek, he said, "Somewhere out there in the multiverse there must be a version of me that deserves you," and touched a finger to Jon's lips to stop him from arguing before Tony could finish, "and he definitely didn't get there without your help."

Jon's soft patience was definitely infuriatingly patronizing, making it difficult for Tony to meet his eye without his cheeks stinging like he had his face in the forge, regretting not encouraging the much easier argument they could have been having now and also definitely not wanting Jon to stop looking at him like that with those big, searching eyes that Tony was going to have to kiss him stupid for. Tony curled his hand around the back of Jon's neck again to draw him in to taste the answer on Tony's lips, because of course that was what he wanted, what had they been talking about this whole time? What he had been meaning to say, at least since teasing Jon about leaving a mark, but maybe since realizing he would regret not holding Jon's hand while he had the chance, and maybe since Jon had offered him his heart, was slowly gathered in the small space between each lingering kiss and the warmth of Jon's mouth until Tony finally muttered, "Make me yours."

The embrace was welcome, the accusation that Tony got for it less so. Needy? It made Tony tense up where he had gladly hugged Jon back to nuzzle into his hair and spread his slow kisses to every peek of his face that he could still reach, more focused on where their skin pressed close or caught, sticky with sugar or sweat already between them from being so close, with every breath and eager shift. As much as Tony thought he wasn't ready to let that go, he let Jon sit up without protest, eyes wide and hands falling back on the bed and open innocently, happy to put some space between himself and Jon's declaration. He had said no such thing.

Unless it did mean getting his pants off. Tony was willing to make that exception, maybe he could be a little needy and eagerly move to help, ready to arch off of the bed and kick the clothes across the room with everything else that had been in his way tonight. Jon's unnerving enthusiasm made it difficult to understand exactly what he might have meant, the tone sounding more like he was about to share a magic trick with Tony, so when Tony did put the pieces together he started to laugh in surprise, hand going back to his face in a not very effective attempt to stop it. He was glad Jon had clarified that his research was purely secondary, because Tony would have been trapped wondering about that for the rest of his life, probably, but he did still have to ask, "What have you been reading?" Was there some kind of manual? That would have saved Tony some trial and error.
