[There is the sound of buttons being a bit haphazardly mashed, and some slight shuffling. Eventually, there is a quiet 'oh', and the video flickers to life and reveals a handsome young man, dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and sweat pants.]

Sorry, folks, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here. [He gives a little sheepish smile and ducks his head, before glancing back to the camera.] Uh. Hello, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. Some of you might know me as Captain America. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I was told that you could use my help up here.

There's not -- a lot for me to do at home right now, so here I am. [A little pause.] Though if anyone could catch me up on -- current events, back home, it'd be appreciated.

That depends on where "back home" is. There are some people who are from the same world and lots of people who are from different worlds. Lots of variations of Earth.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah, I've heard that.

[an_abomination]

Have you been given the run down on the library here, as well?

[thestarspangledman]

I have, yeah. Looks like I'm going to be spending some time there.

[an_abomination]

I spend a lot of my time between there and the gym, where I work. Sounds like you're a Warden, there are some nice places you'll have special access too.

[thestarspangledman]

I don't think I've found out about those quite yet.

[an_abomination]

There's a pool, which not many people use for whatever the reason and the CES; Closed Ecological System. It changes scenery in response to whoever goes into it.

[thestarspangledman]

...Huh. Lots of things I'm going to have to get used to around here.

[an_abomination]

There always seems to be something going on around here. What's your world like?

[thestarspangledman]

....Very different than the last time I saw it.

[an_abomination]

What do you mean?

[thestarspangledman]

I was asleep for seventy years.

[an_abomination]

Oh, that's...a long time. [Can relate to how confusing the world can be.] Even though I look like I'm almost 18, I'm only six and a half months old. I only experienced the real world for the first time three months ago.

[thestarspangledman]

Then I guess we're almost in the same boat.

[an_abomination]

Sometimes I have information that I don't remember popping into my head, mostly about history and geography, things like that. But yeah, most of the beings here are helpful.

[thestarspangledman]

That's a relief, at least.

[an_abomination]

It's too bad the real world or at least the world I'm from wasn't more reflective of this place. People there aren't so accepting towards beings that are different and I don't think that sentiment is limited to my world.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, I'm ...not even sure what my world is like anymore, to be honest.

[an_abomination]

The setting has changed but I am willing to bet people are still the same in many ways. There are certain elements of humanity that never change or so I've read.
