[Steve had been laying low since his arrival, which he knew was not the necessarily smartest thing. He should be out and finding information, but it had just been too much culture shock in a row.

Now, though? Now that he could look out the window and see how this Wonderland was turning bleak, and grim? Now he needed to step up and do his job.

He turns on the video feed, looking like he means business.]

Hello. This is Captain Steve Rogers, and I'm sorry for my absence. I'm back now, and ready to assist anyone in need. Things seem to be getting a bit grim.

Though I'm not quite sure what's going on, and if anyone can fill me in I would really appreciate it.

[And with that, the feed ends. Steve is going to start patrolling the floors, starting with the tenth. He'll be easy pretty to spot, as his shield is nothing if not noticeable.]

action!

[Bela had taken to staying in her room since everything began. Particularly after she had learned that the fog had began to filter into the mansion itself. Luckily for her, Bela was on the tenth floor and was safe for the time being.

A sound outside her room caught her attention and Bela decided to investigate, opening the door and poking her head out into the corridor to see what was going on. That's when she saw Steve.]

Hey!

action;

[spangledplan]

[He turns at the sound of her voice, nodding with recognition. He's not that far from her door, and he closes that gap quickly.]

Ma'am? Can I help you?

[onsilksheets]

You can start by telling me what the hell you are doing.

[She fixes him with a look, watching as he came up closer to her door.]

[spangledplan]

Just doing patrols, ma'am. Trying to find ways I can be helpful.

[Your looks will have no affect, ma'am. This is a very determined man.]

[onsilksheets]

You can stop with the ma'am thing you know.

[So earnest and so good and determined. Are you for real, Steve? Bela doesn't know anyone like you.]

Intending to patrol the whole mansion?

[spangledplan]

I'm sorry if I, uh, offended you.

[Clearly Bela needs to meet nicer people.]

If it needs to be done, yes.

[onsilksheets]

I'm not offended. I just prefer being called by my name.

[Well now she's met Steve.]

Just be careful. It'd be a real shame if you got turned to stone.

[spangledplan]

Sorry about that, Miss...Talbot, right?

[He's about as nice as you can get.]

I'll avoid the fog as best I can.

[onsilksheets]

Right. Or you can just call me Bela.

[And so earnest too.]

Don't do anything stupid.
