thestarspangledman[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.

You know, I was kind of expecting a skeleton, by this point. Or at least some cool zombie hybrid.
Better watch out, Olay would kill for your secret.

Date: 2012-05-18 04:42 am (UTC)[That gets a small smile, and a slightly awkward shrug.]
They tell me it was the serum.

Date: 2012-05-21 06:06 am (UTC)[Oh now he's all ears, and practically leaning towards the camera]
Right. Bottle of muscles and height. Kind of been the holy grail of biological engineering ever since word of it hit the streets.

Date: 2012-05-21 07:34 am (UTC)I can't help you there, I'm afraid. All I knew was what Erskine told me, and all that ...died a long time ago.

Date: 2012-05-21 07:47 am (UTC)He kind of doesn't want to think that he's apparently like his old man. At least to the point of being mistaken for him]
Right, right. Read the news clipping for that. Some Nazi crazoid broke in and everything got lost.
You're seriously Captain America, though? Not just some stupid convention goer with a head injury?

Date: 2012-05-21 08:23 am (UTC)Steven G. Rogers. Born July 4, 1918.

Date: 2012-05-21 08:27 am (UTC)[No, wait, there's something more important here.]
You were born on July 4th. Please tell me you weren't really born on July- that's... god were you just born in the spangly outfit? Coincidences like that just don't- I thought it was some kind of historical error, fantasy mixing with real-
You were seriously born on Independence Day?

Date: 2012-05-23 07:39 am (UTC)And two, because it makes everything about you just that much more of a joke.
Seriously. You sound like you stepped right out of a comic book.

Date: 2012-05-23 11:52 am (UTC)Rrrright. Mr. Stark both makes me feel like I'm fifty years older than I actually am, and like you're mistaking me for dear-old-dad again.
Which, sorry to say, not Howard over here. Tony. T-O-N-Y. Not that hard of a name.
But I mean, seriously. You've been missing presumed dead for going on seventy years, there's a statue to you in like every major city, and here you are telling me you're alive, well, and honestly born on the goddamn Fourth of July.
Tell me how I'm not supposed to think this is all just a big bunch of hoopla.
[And that was even less of what he meant but you know what? Screw it.
Captain America is a jerk.]

Date: 2012-05-23 09:12 pm (UTC)So you know what? Fine.
He can act like a five year old right back.]
Well golly gee, I pissed off America's Sweetheart.
Be seeing you, Cap.
[AND HE HANGS UP.
ANGRILY.
Because he is mature.]
