[He examines the monitor with the passing familiarity of someone who knows how this works, but isn't entirely used to it and doesn't particularly like it. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, solemn.]

Thank you, first of all, to the people who helped me out of the water and into the city. I hope some of you see this. If there's anything I can do to repay you for that, please don't hesitate to ask. My name is Steve. Steve Rogers. I'm a captain in the United States Army, from Earth, or Midgard, I guess, if you're familiar with that name. This… Well, I'm not sure what to make of it all, but I'm curious to know if anyone is trying or has tried to get to their homes from here.

Are there people from Earth here? Or other worlds. Anyone at all, really, who'd be willing to tell me more about what we're into.

I'm more than willing to meet wherever you feel most comfortable.

[A pause, a nod, and he turns off the feed.]

STEVE!

[usavatar]

[No. Nope.

Nope.


...............Nope.

Sorry, he's. Processing. Give him a second.

Between life, death, and dreams, huh?]

...Bucky?

[trainwrecked]

Yes!

[His life? Suddenly 1000% better.]

Where... where are you?

[Blond pointy-eared young woman with weird eyebrows squinting uncertainly at the screen.]

...Cap?

[Why are you...not you?]

[usavatar]

Miss. [Um. Hello there. He tilts his head to try and get a better look at her and promptly remembers why he dislikes video communication.] I'm sorry, have we met?

[littlecousin]

[Well. It has been a long time, and a lot has happened...]

Do--do you remember Namor, at least?

[video]

[dadissues]

Oh, huh, are you new? I didn't know they were still fishing people out.

[video]

[usavatar]

Seems like it. Did they give you some indication that they'd stopped?

[video]

[dadissues]

Well...I guess not. But like, all of us kinda showed up at the same time.

Anyway, welcome I guess.

[video]

[sharpes]

[blink.]

What, really? You're back to calling yourself 'Captain'? Retro.

[video]

[usavatar]

Not particularly. [He does not like the word 'retro'. 8|] Who am I speaking to?

[video]

[stickshift]

The kedan don't really use the network, but you could always thank them in person?

[video]

[usavatar]

No? Thank you, miss...?

[video]

[mistyoldworld]

Army? Ah, are you a soldier?

[video]

[usavatar]

I am. [He manages to gentle out a smile for her, because tinyperson.] What's your name?

[flawedgoods]

[Have a video response, Steve. Favrielle is impossibly beautiful but for the very noticeable scar over her lip and the frown on her face.]

Attempts to Tu Vishan have been made, but they weren't successful. You might see if those who tried would be willing to speak with you about it, Captain.

[usavatar]

Tu Vishan? I'm sorry if this is something most folks should already know - I'm working from the bare bones at the moment.

[sophos]

[...new person. Apparently the new arrivals have not ceased.]

I'm from Earth, and there are a handful of others here from it. Whether or not they're the same Earth is another story, as there are people from multiple worlds and universes here, too.

Did you say Midgard? Like from Norse mythology?

video

[usavatar]

[...A tiny exhale. Multiple worlds and universes, different earths. Okay. He can. Deal with that. It explains more than it doesn't.]

I did. I recently met several, ah. Figures from the myths.

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Sitting back, picking at his ear, feet up on his desk as he replies.]

Unless you got yourself some pretty awesome magical skills, nope. No way out. Not by air or sea.

Dude, there's loads of people from Earth here and the army means nothing here either.

[Video]

[usavatar]

No discovered way out.

[There's a difference and he will find it.]

The army may not exist here, but it certainly still means something. [He resists the urge to massage his temples.] How many people that you know of?

[storm_warning]

[Ororo raises her hand when the video comes up.]

I guess this is the part where I yell: "New York, represent?"

[Note her haste and joy in doing so? Not really there. She's being sarcastic.]

And a word to the wise. If you want to meet anyone, head to the Water or Wood Sectors. Not too many other places are safe, even for a strong-looking guy like you.

video;

[usavatar]

If you'd like to.

[She almost gets a smile, but her sarcasm tempers it.]

Thank you for the advice, ma'am. Any particular dangers I should be aware of? I've been stationed in the Fire Sector.

[withoutaworld]

[ Rikki just stares for a long moment, looking like she's seen a ghost.

...right, she's on video. She shakes herself a little and swallows hard before she speaks. ] Where... Where are you right now? I'll come find you.

[video]

[usavatar]

[And now he's concerned. She looks... well, not in any fit state to come and find him, at least.] I'm in the Fire Sector - FI-1A, I think. But miss, you don't have to do that.
