001 - video
[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.']

no subject
[There's so much more to it than this, too. So much information.]
The Emperor was recently assassinated but details haven't been released yet. We're all here to supposedly help in an upcoming war. [He pauses.] I can't say I trust them; there's something fishy about all of this.

[ High praise from the Widow indeed. ]
We have a few leads on the murderer but nothing solid. That's about as deep as that gets for now. As for the war... [ She shrugs. ] All I've heard since the welcoming speil is that the person responsible for the murder of Eshai is possibly in league with our enemy. There's been nothing confirming or denying either way. It's difficult to get information from the natives here. No one will speak his name, and no one will talk about him, because speaking it will bring him here, and it'll be the Battle for New York all over again.

Right. The Kedan mentioned him in passing. [Steve can only assume that he must be extremely powerful if simply speaking his name is enough to summon him. That's some sort of crazy omniscience, omnipotence or... something. Everyone has a weakness, though.
He just hopes they find out what it is before the time comes to face him.]
Whatever happens, then, is going to be soon. Political leaders don't just get assassinated. There's got to be some sort of follow-up, while there's still confusion.

Have you made any plans, in case this ends up being a worst-case scenario? Or any sort of scenario, really. We can't afford to be blindsided.
[Yup, he's jumping right into this.]
