[He needs to stop thinking that he's incapable of being surprised. By the end of the Battle of New York, Steve thought he had seen it all. Insane technology, other worlds, aliens... What else could there possibly be?
The answer, of course, is a giant turtle in a realm outside the continuity of time. He had a long chat about nearly everything with the locals that helped him earlier, but it's still crazy, and he probably wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen some of the turtle shell himself.
Yet here he is. It'll probably all sink in over time; Steve's been overloaded with so much information over the past few hours and it's exhausting, even for him.
Getting on the computer hadn't been his top priority, but he's already gone outside of his new home and back. Steve's experienced enough culture shock for today. He might as well at least reach out and introduce himself to all of the other people who wound up here like him.
Once he's got the computer up and running, he accesses the network using the video function. He looks a little stiff and probably as exhausted as he feels, but that's the least of his concerns right now.]
Hello. My name's Steve Rogers. The kedin- kedan? - brought me up to speed already, but I only just arrived here a few hours ago.
[Maybe longer than that. He hasn't exactly been keeping track of time. In any case, it's really jarring to be talking to a computer screen and not actually know who's on the other end.]
I have a couple questions that I'd like to have verified. [It doesn't necessarily mean he'll believe whatever he's told, but second opinions are typically useful.] We're all more or less stuck on this turtle, right? But there's a way back.
[That's a question as well, but it ends up sounding more like a statement. It sounds like a reasonable assumption. There obviously isn't a rush since no time is passing back home; he just wants to know.]
The other question I have is about jobs. Since it looks like I'll be here awhile, I'll start looking soon. Does anyone know which places are hiring offhand?
[He pauses for a moment before adding a 'thank you.']

Have an eight year old who looks far too serious.]
People seem to disappear at random, and the reigning theory is that they go back to their home universe when they go. In terms of jobs, there are a number of "foreigner"-run businesses, the largest being Stark Industries and Wayne Pharmaceutical. As I see you know Tony Stark already, may I suggest you ask him for a job?
video
I'll consider it. Do you happen to know of anything else out there?
[He is so not asking Tony for a job.]
video
Well, what are your skills?
video
I have combat training. I was in the Army.
[Steve doesn't mention anything else, as none of it really seems like it'd be a useful skill.]
video
Well there's no army here. Kind of odd, considering the fact that we've been brought here to fight. [But back to the point.] You could see about joining the police force. Or you could be a bouncer at one of the bars.
video
At east, soldier.
[Steve does find it odd, especially considering the reason for his being here.]
I'll have to look into both. I've already seen quite a few bars.
[He'll be weighing his options before he makes any sort of decision.]
video
You could do that.
