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.

"It's... A little indulgence I wouldn't have minded reacquiring. I know I shouldn't complain, given I got access to an incredibly extensive library and its archives here. But on a non-knowledge-seeking level... I'm happy to be able to stock up on tea, coffee and a few snacks that shouldn't have any place in the remains of a civilization." This may be a somewhat more in-depth answer than utterly necessary, but Jon doesn't mind giving it. That a small, low giggle follows his words, however, is entirely to be credited to that slight tickling Tony inflicts upon his skin. It's also what prompts Jon to twist his head ever so slightly to attempt casting a glance up at Tony and remark in a voice that carries the aftertones of that giggle along with an audible trace of a fresh little blush. "And I know I can trust you to not let that happen."

The kiss is gladly met and returned even though Tony's inquisitive hand does a good job at causing somewhat disrupting chuckles on Jon's end, who tries at least somewhat to not fall entirely into a fit of squirming chuckles. Does he try to stop Tony, though? No. But his hand on Tony's leg holds on a little tighter and his now free one reaches up and behind Tony's head and finds a new hold on his neck.

Tony's smirk is still greeted with a little huff as Jon reaches underneath himself and pulls a bright orange piece out and flicks it off the bed without even looking at it. He half opens his mouth to say something, but then finds himself faced with what looks like a bright blue miniature pillow and he blinks at that instead.
"....alright..." He says slowly, then leans his head forward to bite off half of the thing bravely, only to be met with its dark purple semi-liquid center pouring out messily. Jon is left staring at it while the part he bit off dissolves in his mouth in a way not dissimilar to marshmallow, unfolding its very sweet and fruity flavor before the more sour center adds its note. "Jesus.... It's... sweet!" Too sweet for his taste. "...a-and... sour." As a kid he might have enjoyed this more. "-AND it's dripping on me!"

At the very least he is making a noteworthy attempt. The part of the shudder Jon can't hold back is accompanied by a stubbornly set jaw and a set of messy fingers pointing at Tony's nose. "And by someone you mean yourself." Which may sound stricter than necessarily intended.
no subject
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.
no subject
He notices the searching motion of Tony's second hand somewhat belatedly, yet only glances over very briefly before his eyes are being pulled back despite the tiny alarm bell ringing at the back of his head, reminding him that he has two hands as well and maybe, MAYBE might want to try and prevent any further sticky messes.
Which sounds hypocritical even to his own mind.
And yet Jon's free hand comes up in time with the small plastic lid popping off of Tony's find, narrowly missing to catch the streak of creamy and ridiculously sparkly substance that Tony has launched from the small pouch and halfway across Jon's shoulder and jaw, making Jon freeze at the sensation.

The complaint finishes with a small, accusatory huff while Jon brings his arm around again, but not to punch Tony again, but to hold onto Tony's upper arm and pull himself around and onto his own side to now being the one hovering over Tony, that fizzle from the creme still on his tongue and lips which he will press onto Tony's without much further warning. Clearly this is punishment for making sure Jon won't be able to possibly enjoy a treat at least tasting like chocolate without recalling this association.

"...my mark..." He repeats the words in a curious whisper against Tony's lips before pressing another kiss to them. "Are we still speaking of smearing colorful sugar over each other?"
no subject
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.
no subject
"I..." He starts slowly, seemingly thinking about his answer. Then he simply smiles. "It feels right." A simple statement, but a sincere one. Not many things in Jon's life that have been feeling right have also been nice or positive. So to him, this has been a very notable improvement.
no subject
"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."
no subject
No. Jon's original argument of insisting Tony already deserving him, ridiculously as that phrasing may sound, wouldn't work. Because that isn't the point Tony is making here. Neither would be Jon insisting Tony is fine the way he is and that he wouldn't want a different version of Tony. Tony is reaching out to him. He is entrusting him with his insecurities and this isn't a matter of what Jon may want. It's a matter of what Tony needs.
Jon offers a smile behind Tony's silencing digit and waits for it to drop away before reaching out to run a hand through Tony's hair and inclining his head ever so slightly before asking a single, pointedly uncompelling question. "And do you want to be that version of yourself?"
Because the message is clear: He couldn't become that person on his own and would require Jon to be there for him. And Jon wouldn't mind being that person for Tony.
no subject

The verbal response is more one to catch Jon off-guard and while he is fairly certain he understands the implication, he still pauses as that set of words hits him in the back of his head and shoots down his spine with a burning heat that ends up erupting in various places at once sending different instincts at war with one another. Pure rational thinking is it that points out sharply that Tony is unlikely to appeal to Jon's monstrous side to claim him by extracting his deepest fears and darkest secrets and devour every ounce of trauma he has to offer.
And as Jon lets out a hot exhale at the assurance that he is still that much in control of himself, he leans closer, wraps his arms around Tony's shoulders and simply pulls the man into a tight embrace, hoping to ease his racing heart with a small noise that may be an attempt at a chuckle. "-right. You mentioned being- Needy." That's one way to put it, isn't it. He pushes himself up and shifts his weight off of Tony, leaving one hand on his chest, however, while overall moving down beneath his legs, his other hand finding the waistband of Tony's pants and the buckle of his belt. "I- Did some research. Well. Actually just reading rather than research, but- I should be doing better this time!"
no subject
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.
no subject
Having directed his attention to undoing Tony's pants, Jon misses most of the other man's reaction, but pauses his action to glance up for a moment once he hers the laughter. The following question has him look back down again, hoping to hide a new blush by returning to his previous task. "Oh, you know. Nothing in particular. I- I mean... The temple archives are vast, but- Certain pieces are easier accessed on other networks." By that time Jon has finished opening up those pants and is giving them a brief, experimental tug down, but pauses again to look back up at Tony to ask almost innocently. Almost. Right at that moment Jon is very much teasing. "How many details do you want me to tell you?"
no subject
Bursting into another giggle at how rapidly Jon had unspooled him by starting him off balance, Tony decided on the most honest, "Both," in an effort to get himself under control. He pushed up onto his elbows, then tangled one hand around Jon's hooked around the waist of his pants to guide him down in a more deliberately slow drag, head tilted coyly to watch Jon's face through his lashes for any revealing appreciation for each inch of tanned muscle, the cut of his hip or tense chord of his thigh. "What were you hoping to see?" he purred, corner of his mouth ticking up in a smirk that made either way Jon interpreted that question dangerous.
