[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.

Goodness, there will be two of them?

[thestarspangledman]

[He sobers for a moment.] Yes. The second's not long after the first ends. Only about a decade.

[19centconstable]

That's certainly a shame. Why do they come about?

[thestarspangledman]

The first one -- a duke was killed in Austria, I think? I wasn't -- it was before I was born. The second -- mostly, Germany wanted power.

[19centconstable]

I see.

Oh! When is it you come from? I'm from 1898 myself.

[thestarspangledman]

....Well, when I woke up it was 2011, or so they said. But the last year I remember is 1943.

[19centconstable]

...That's certainly quite a nap, Captain.

[thestarspangledman]

...Yeah, it is.
