[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.

...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.

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.
