ᴏᴏ1 ( ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ/ᴛᴇxᴛ ) | ʙᴇʜᴏʟᴅ ᴍʏ ɢᴇɴɪᴜs.

[ good morning, asgard. you are greeted to a singular video, which shows a rather chaotic room in the odin housing unit. it has a desk shoved in the corner, covered in a bunch of spare parts of some cannibalized technology strewn all over the place. but in another corner of the room appears to be something that looks a bit like cooler with a solar panel on it.

tethered to it is a little roomba that has a blinking light, and seems to be attempting to vacuum the place, but is continually yanked backwards by the confines of its charge cord.

and then, once the video shows what it seems to show, a text is also sent out to the entire network, simply stating: ]

READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASK ME SOMETHING INCREDIBLY STUPID:

(1) It's a solar powered generator. It generates something called electricity, which can power things we call machines. It can hold a pretty hefty charge, but it isn't very powerful. I can maybe reboot a battery, and that's about it, until I expand my operation.

(2) No, you cannot have one.

(3) No, I am not building you one.

(4) I'll let you charge your cell phones if, and only if, you bring me any useful garbage you collected when it fell from the sky a few weeks ago.

(5) I don't do delivery.

(6) Don't show up at my door asking to use it. There's a sign-up sheet in the front hall of the library. Go put your name on it and sign up for a time slot.

(7) Seriously, if you show up at my door without an invite, I am revoking your cell phone privileges, and I will use your outdated trash heap you call a smart phone for parts.

(8) You're welcome.

[ what a charmer. ]

[ Okay but, Tony probably saw this coming.

Or should have. ]

Dude, that's fantastic...wait. CAN YOU CHARGE MY ZUNE WITH IT?

[ And then, after a beat. ]

What is that round thing?

[ Tessa doesn't care about her cell phone much since they have a network on their bracers now, but she does care about the pictures saved on her cell phone of her family and Mike, so she might as well see if this contraption can charge it. ]

Anything particular you're looking for under the "useful garbage" category?

I need electrical wiring. Conductors. And rubber would be useful, so I don't electrocute myself.
Batteries are helpful. Old cell phones, radios. Broken laptops.
Whatever you can find, I'll take it apart and use it.

[ there is just a lot going on here, and there is a TIRED SIGH, as tony appears on video. ]

Yes, I can charge your stupid, outdated, idiotic Zune.

[ GET A SMARTPHONE, PETER. anyway: ]

And it's a vacuum cleaner. It's name is Dave until I can figure out a better name for it, or until I grant it artificial intelligence, and it can name itself.

Got it. So you want me to sign up in the library first, then bring you the stuff? If I find it, that is.

[ But seeing how baskets were set up all over to collect the stuff, there might just be some junk still in them. ]

Sure. Or you can text me and ask if you can use it, and I'll see if I'm available.

The sign-up sheet is just a precaution to make sure a bunch of people don't just show up at my door asking to use my generator without warning.

[ tony is better, but having strangers show up without warning really doesn't help his general anxiety, and while he wants to help, he also doesn't want people to just barge in without notice. ]

And the junk - it doesn't need to be anything big, either. Whatever you can spare is good enough for me. I'll use it.

Oi, it was a present. And it's not outdated, it can fit 300 songs!

[ That's a lot ok. He had a cassette with only 12 songs for more than 2 decades, talk about suffering.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S A SMARTPHONE AND WE DON'T HAVE SHOPS HERE. ]

But thank you, that will help me a lot. [ He means it, really, even gives a soft smile. Tony should be able to spot a coping mechanism when he sees it. ] I'll fill your silly sign-up sheet and everything.

Oh, never saw one of those before. Why Dave? You could have name it Dustin.

Nice. Okay. I didn't hang onto anything myself, but I'll search the baskets around here and see what's in there. I'll bet the stuff you're looking for would be things others would leave behind. Unless they're super techy like you and can built stuff out of spare parts.

I'm 99% sure there are at least two or three other people in this place that are as smart as me, but I'm also 99% sure they aren't as creative.

[ #humblebrag. ]

Figuring out what works and what doesn't is half the fun. But if I get what I need, I'll have this city fully decked out with electricity in six months, if I'm still here.

Sure thing, Five-Oh.

[ 300 songs... how pure and innocent. but keeping people sane and happy in asgard is one thing that tony can definitely relate to, and if a stronger ally means having a working zune, then so be it. ]

I'm sure you'll be back to listening to your cheap 80s rock in no time.

[ says the guy who 100% listens to cheap 80s rock. ]

[ Oof, douchy vibes. But Tessa knows how to suck up to people who can help her, so she doesn't acknowledge it. This being in text helps too. ]

That'd be pretty sweet. It's kind of freaky how magic runs things here, so I wouldn't mind flipping a switch instead.

And I named him Dave because Dave stands for Dust Annihilation Vehicular Enterprise.

[ it is not why tony named the thing dave, and tony absolutely came up with that acronym off the top of his head, because he is never going to admit that dustin is a way funnier name. ]

Dave just sounds friendlier.

At least we'll be in control of the switch, right?

[ at any rate: ]

What's your name, again?

Thanks, Macgyver.

[ Ey, if they're trading cool tv show nicknames...

Peter has his own plans to share his music with the rest of Asgard, it's something Skadi and him are discussing. With some luck, Tony will be able to listen to some rock songs again. ]

They're called classics> and it's not my fault if modern music and dancing have lost all meaning. Thor told me about the Floss, I died a bit on the inside.

[ He's snickering at that ass pull acronym. Dustin is a fantastic name but he won't call out Tony on his bullshitting. ]

That it does. The poor thing seems to want to run free, though, probably to annihilate dust in a different room. [ Okay he won't call Tony MUCH on his bullshitting. ]

Right. Oh, I'm Tessa. You?

[ He sees the video and he sees the text and then he shows up uninvited at Tony’s door. But it’s okay because he comes with gifts. Electrical gifts.

He knocks and then pokes his head in before Tony can answer. ]

Can I borrow Dustin? My room needs a good cleaning.

[ Captain Sass and Spangles is here. ]

Edited 2019-08-01 15:31 (UTC)

You should call it Dustin.

Yes, thank you.

You should listen to your elders, Tony.

[ He's smirking at Steve after that. Peter means no offense to any of the two men but he can't help the teasing. ]

Have you seen the YouTube videos of Captain America singing for the U.S.O. shows in the 1940s?

[ matter of factly.

two can play this game, you piece of shit. ]

[Thankfully, Shouyou had the sense to read some of the other replies first to get a sense of things instead of barging in like usual. He's learning!]

so you just want the tech-y stuff?
i saved some that fell but i don't know if they're the kind you you're looking for!

[ tony's room is actually not as much of a disaster as probably expected. it's an organized chaos, which is fairly par for the course. there are various piles and bins, which make sense to tony and likely no one else, and tony is sitting on his bed, fiddling with a loose wire on his generator.

he doesn't look up, at the entrance, because he knows steve DOESN'T CARE FOR THE RULES!!! god. ]

Why are you encouraging the new guy.

[ as he reconnects a wire, and finally, he looks up, exasperated. ]

We shouldn't encourage the new guy.

[ tony can't even complain about that nickname because he is absolutely the modern day macgyver, and he will wear that badge with HONOR, thank you.

-- anyway. ]

Thor told you about the Floss?

[ incredulously. ]

Since when does he play Fortnite? And why are you talking to Thor about the Floss?

[ DETAILS, QUILL. he needs details. ]

Tony Stark. Tony is fine.

What are you looking to charge, anyway? I don't think it can handle more than a cell phone right now, but I might be able to get away with a car battery if you want a portable source of energy.

What is Youtube? Nevermind..no I did not but it sounds like I'm missing something incredible.

[ Please go on you two, Peter is just enjoying the show. ]

This is the kind of quality content I live for.

Once I get my suit up and running, I can show you one of the greatest pieces of American history to ever exist.

[ because tony absolutely has it saved to his hard drive, and he absolutely will never fuckin delete it. ]

Until then, I leave it to your imagination.
