001 ☆ video

[assembles]

[When the video feed starts up, it shows a man seated at a desk in a rather nondescript room. Not much can be seen behind him beyond a bed and closet. Much more noteworthy is his face, which has a few bruises and a line of stitches extending outward from the corner of his mouth.

Despite that, he has a bright, open look on his face, though the fact that he's sitting up straight and looking head-on at his phone's camera makes it clear that he means business.]

So... had a few days to take everything in, read what information I could find. It's been helpful, it really has. [A lot of the work and investigation had already been done for him, though that hasn't prevented Steve from doing his own exploration.]

Just a few questions, if anyone can help. [And so far, most everyone has been helpful.] I can only assume there's some escape effort that's been put together here. A group of like-minded people, working together to get everyone home. I'd like to be a part of that. [It might seem overly transparent to ask about something like that over a network like this, but Steve has no interest in secrecy, especially not after everything that he's been through.]

Secondly, I've heard a lot about people being from different worlds. I'm trying to get an idea of how many we're dealing with. [He knows about Asgard and has heard vaguely of the Nine Realms, but beyond that he's clueless. He needs to determine the scope of this operation.]

Oh, and the name's Steve Rogers. I'll do whatever I can to get us all out of here. [It's meant mainly as a test to see if anyone here is going to recognize him, or if he actually has some manner of anonymity in this place.

With that said, he offers a small smile and then ends the feed.]

Maybe some worlds would be a little more accepting of it than others, but where I'm from? Yeah, saying you were whisked away to a fairytale world isn't gonna go over so well.

[Although with Asgard and the Chitauri and everything else, there's a chance that they could at least convince a few people here and there.

It's not something Steve needs to worry about for now, though. From what he's heard, they won't even remember any of this when they head home. Which rubs him the wrong way, but that's an issue to tackle later.

At Alice's clarification, he nods.] Yeah, that's what I heard. Still kind of curious to see what the edges of this place are like, exactly. Or if we can even find them.

[digophelia]

I highly doubt it.

[Then again, Alice is a very cynical girl, without any hope that something could be out there, somewhere. Alice rubs the back of her head.]

The currents out in the ocean weren't friendly and I feared that the man could have drowned.

[assembles]

[The currents may be strong, but so is Steve. He's not going to let on that he may be considering trying it out for himself, though. There's no reason to worry Alice.]

Well, thanks for the warning. I'll definitely keep it in mind. If we can't leave the same way we came in, then we've just got to figure out another way.

[He makes it sound simple, but Steve's aware of how much the odds are stacked against them.]

[digophelia]

[With cannibals and zombies, Alice is starting to wonder.]

So as long as you don't do anything rash.

[assembles]

[Steve will most definitely end up doing something rash along the way, but he doesn't need to share that with her.]

I'll see what I can do.
