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.

Jon's questing hand made Tony tense defensively, looking dismayed by this choice when he was working up the plan for Jon to be able to see less of him, and he quickly met Jon's hand to catch him by the wrist like he might drag it away. Once it was there, though, Tony certainly didn't want it gone again, his chest jumping in a sharp, sensitive inhale that wasn't calmed at all by being reassured that Jon loved him, he was still working on that one, then sinking slowly in a more measured exhale as Tony pressed his hand over Jon's. For all of Jon's optimistic trust he wanted to put in other people's good intentions, he had a terrible habit of focusing on the negatives, Tony realized, if that possible disappointment was what held Jon back.

Tony wiggled under Jon to encourage him back so he could sit up again, pausing long enough to capture his face in both hands to hold for a kiss and promise, "We'll be okay, I can handle some disappointment, and I'm not saying you will, don't take that in, Lord, just, if you can put up with my personality defects, and if you do trust me, then trust that I can..." It felt by then like they were talking about a broader expectation than their sexual experience, so Tony started to laugh before he managed to finish with a far less lofty, "Deal with an amateur blowjob."

Giving Jon's shoulder a pat to follow, Tony shifted back up against the pillows where he picked one up to dump unceremoniously out of its case. It was the fabric that Tony held up with raised eyebrows for Jon to assess, then he lifted his chin to welcome Jon back against his chest where Tony could securely tie him blind. "You're focusing on the wrong vectors," he pointed out. Hopefully, Jon had figured out Tony's design by then as he said, "You had no problem winning me a prize, even though you looked like a complete disaster." The disaster had been an integral part of the success, after all, and Tony nuzzled his smile of appreciation for it against the stubborn knot of determination that had ticked in Jon's jaw.

"Perfect," Tony chuckled for the very helpful update, only to laugh harder at Jon's awkward handling of 'kink' and try to suppress it against his neck. Nothing had really changed, Tony still wound himself, like he had been all evening, as much as he could around Jon, tangling their legs and wrapping his arms around Jon's chest to draw him back close against Tony where he revelled in the press of their skin together from his collar to his thighs, for an indulgent breath. "I could turn all of the lights off instead...?" he proposed, sounding skeptical because he didn't think it would be quite as effective, but maybe that would feel less intimidatingly kinky to Jon if they were both equally in the dark. "Just--you're still thinking about it too hard, stop that, I'm trying to turn that off," he insisted as he massaged one hand up Jon's chest. The other dropped away, searching the bed. "Comfortable?"

It wasn't clear to Tony if Jon being very quiet was his version of trying not to think, like Tony had suggested, instead of saying everything that came to his mind, which was privately funny enough to Tony that he started to chuckle again into the slow kisses that he was peppering down Jon's neck and across his shoulder. With as much patience as Tony could muster, he traced his restless patterns down Jon's body, tapping a rhythm up his ribs and sketching the lines around his tensed muscles until he felt them relax, and taking very measured breaths to keep himself from abandoning this process outright to bowl Jon over and replace every touch with a hungry kiss. He could do this, he could do patient, for at least another generous two minutes.

When Jon seemed to be getting his senses, Tony muttered, "Okay?," then brushed another kiss under his ear where he could feel the teasing curve of Tony's smile. "It's a blindfold, you don't have to stop talking." Maybe not all at once, though, because Tony's other hand had returned, a delicate touch of his thumb to Jon's chin to orient him before Tony explained, "Chocolate," something else for Jon to do with his mouth.

This plan to direct Jon's focus might have been backfiring entirely because he seemed to have just become frustrated instead of cautious, but frustrated and complaining was at least familiar territory. Tony shook slightly against Jon, clearly trying very hard not to laugh at his determined feeling or how blindfolding him seemed to have made him non-functional, and it was much more difficult to keep out of his voice as he said very sweetly, "You're doing great, boss."

He was going to find it more difficult to voice his complaints unless he was more proactive about the touch of Tony's sugary, cream-covered finger to his tongue, where Tony went obviously still, holding his breath and watching Jon closely before he would start to panic and withdraw again. This was not at all the level of control he should have been entrusted with; the much easier solution was to get them both drunk.

Tony had underestimated Jon's ability to persist and argue, no matter what was in his mouth, making him shake with another laugh that tickled against Jon's shoulder where Tony dropped his face to try to stop it. He had been watching in fascination, his own mouth going dry at the heat closing around his finger and the tension bleeding out of Jon that Tony absorbed to sit rigidly attentive, his other hand spidering geedily from where it had dropped loosely against Jon's belly, up to wrap around his chest. The laugh eased the hold for Tony to continue restlessly petting down Jon's body, but his wrist was still tense with tendons jumping under Jon's grip as he prompted, "Hey," and touched another digit to Jon's lip to take. Seducing him with hungry, wet kisses to his neck, Tony massaged gently along Jon's tongue and pushed experimentally deeper into the inviting press of his mouth, any ground gained making Tony squirm his hips vainly closer against Jon.

It wasn't clear which part of Tony's fabrication had been the most effective, or if Jon had been willing to indulge Tony's hands all along and they weren't actually making him any more comfortable, but the slide of Jon's tongue along his skin had the expected effect on Tony. His breath was coming quickly by the time he had kissed his way up to Jon's ear, where he nipped and admired, "I don't know what you were worried about, you're a quick study." His eager exploration of Jon's skin meanwhile had settled on his fly to tug his pants open, letting Tony work his restless fingers deeper past his waistband while he slowly eased the others back out of the draw of Jon's mouth with a tug at his lip. "I'm going to touch you," he breathed, more of a request than a warning as his hands stilled for Jon's answer.

Jon's stubborn irritability despite the needy hitch of his breath had Tony pressing a grin against his cheek again, where he could feel the brush of Tony's nose as he readily joined the nodding, just as eager to touch more of Jon by then to satisfy his hungry growl. He didn't leave either of them waiting, drawing Jon's length in the loose stroke of a fist against his stomach where the dry pass of Tony's palm stopped short of meeting the searching tease of his fingertips, slick with Jon's spit and sliding deliberately over his skin like Tony was reading braille in every nerve. With his own quiet moan for the touch, Tony pressed his messy kisses under Jon's jaw again, sucking eagerly at his skin and pushing close like he might weigh Jon over and bring this experiment, where he was figuring out how long he could survive without Jon inside him, to an end.

Tony replied to that eloquent declaration with the rumble of another laugh and hummed, "Mm-hmm," against Jon's inviting throat, where he delicately scraped his teeth along the straining skin to sooth over the path with a swipe of his tongue in time with the slow massage of his fist between Jon's thighs, nose bumping under his chin as Tony's thumb traced over the head of his cock. He twisted slightly, trying to meet Jon's searching hand, but ultimately shivered in frustration at his quickly fraying focus and shifted one hand up behind Jon's shoulders so he didn't have to pause and give any warning for giving in and tipping them over onto the bed again. He could lay Jon gently on his back where he could still tuck himself covetously close and finally capture his lips in a proper kiss again, hard and hot against his hip, hand sliding out from under him to push the blind up into his hair and let Tony catch his eye again with an adoring grin when he could bring himself to take a breath. He could live with Jon not being able to look at him, maybe, he'd figure it out, but he didn't think he could bring himself to give up watching the flutter of Jon's lashes and how big and dark his watchful eyes went as Tony rolled the grip of his fingers still curled between them.

Tony's kiss was slack and unfocused, hot with breathy groans at any confident probe of Jon's tongue that managed to draw his attention away from the careless grip of Jon's fingers or impatient rock of Tony's hips as he searched for the friction he couldn't quite manage while they were sitting up, undeterred by the bite of Jon's fly into his thigh where he tucked his leg between Jon's. His grip around Jon tightened briefly at that press into his hip, but remained a slow and easy massage with Tony's thumb lingering over Jon's head with every deliberate pass until he was gathering a generous, slick pearl from his slit. Tony released him then to brush his knuckles up his body instead, until they nudged under his chin to draw him out of the kiss. Still close enough that his breath was hot against Jon's mouth, Tony slid his thumb along his bruised lip. He had certainly tasted himself on Tony's tongue before, but it wasn't going to be anything like the chocolate that he had chased after, so Tony tried to steady his breathing enough to listen carefully with a reassuring nuzzle along the line of Jon's nose.

The only way any of that could have been more arousing was with the edge of Jon's reliable frustration, and by the jerk of Tony's hips at Jon's stroke, he might not have survived it. His response was a wordless whine as he skimmed his hand up Jon's cheek to twine with the other in his hair, bracketing him between Tony's elbows where he held himself up to keep his forehead touched to Jon's and the edge of the blindfold. Another smile tugged at his lips at the sugar still clinging to Jon's skin that he could taste with every breath, while an anxious frown knit his brow. When he finally formulated words, they were muttered into kisses against Jon's face, "Anything you want, boss."

They had a goal that they were supposed to be focusing on, Tony was pretty sure, nagging ever more faintly at him with every kiss and effectively burnt out of him in the irresistible warmth of Jon's hand. He hitched greedily closer into the touch, his thigh pressing between Jon's drawing up and tucking them into a tight knot where Tony shuddered and tensed, his murmured stream of affections stuttering in the same way he dropped his arm and it skipped down Jon's shoulder to his elbow, blindly searching to grab at his wrist and flex a warning and a desperate urge not to stop. He tucked his face into the comforting cradle of Jon's neck, where he smelled less like candy and more like the singular, bitter sweat that stood out on his skin now, no longer hidden under the influences of Corsucant.

Unprepared for this betrayal, Tony hiccuped a pathetically high note and his hand flexed painfully where it had been curling methodically through Jon's hair, tugging at his scalp while Tony's nails bit into his palm. It wasn't an easy command to follow, not with the soft burr of Jon's voice tickling up the back of Tony's neck and the stubborn streak it met there telling him to paint his claim across Jon's stomach anyway, what was Jon going to do, make him do it again? Tony had to throw himself down onto his back on the bed before that thought was all it took to get him off, muscles taut in a deep arch up into the cold hit of air that had the sweat on his skin rapidly cooling into shivering gooseflesh. He didn't quite relax all the way back as he breathed the tension out in a laugh, one hand over his head clinging anxiously around the edge of the mattress to find ground, the other squeezing tightly around the root of his own length until the danger of Jon saying anything else to him had passed and he slid his hand further down between his thighs, finger teasing against himself when he could finally meet Jon's eye again with a wicked smile. The expression was Jon's warning that Tony wasn't about to stay there if he really did mean to reverse their positions, more than ready to loop an arm around him to roll him onto his back again through the mess of sweets without some strong incentive to behave.
