[There's some fumbling with the camera then, the usual motion blur that can be associated with a newcomer exploring unfamiliar technology.]

Right, so that's the camera there. And the microphone is... Oh, well that's a bit on the nose isn't it? I suppose that would make it easier for the lay user.

[A bit more shifting then, until he sets his device on a flat surface. The image is a small, softbodied man with a pointed intensity in his eyes. He speaks softly, in a thick Scottish brogue.]

H-hello -- to whomever might be listening. I apologize for this interruption, but I'm searching for someone in particular. I have reason to believe that Jemma Simmons has been staying among you. If you know her, it's imperative that I make contact with her. My name is Leo Fitz -- I followed her here.

[He doesn't mention SHIELD or their duties, though. The agency is such a touchy issue in the public eye, it might be a condemnation to draw unnecessary attention to it. There was no telling what kind of people lived here.]

Oh, I hope languages won't be an issue. Though I suppose it should be fine if we utilize this text function...

[His stare shifts pensively from the display to the camera and back again. His instinct is to pull apart this hardware and improve upon the flaws, but that would be entirely counterproductive to his means.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Comfortable prisoners don't protest much. Is that the way it is?

[It's interesting to hear her perspective about this. He supposes that there has been a lot of American accents thus far, but he's become accustomed to being considered the odd one out in that respect.]

Well... Someone ought to keep the yanks from existing in a total vacuum, yeah?

I believe that's the idea.

[Comfortable prisoners-- as though they could forget what they are. Despite the fact that her own feelings on the situation are rather conflicted, there are certain aspects of their presence here that cannot be objectively ignored.

Her smile blooms just a tiny bit wider, amused.]

Yes. Keep them on their toes. [Another brief pause, this one shorter than the first.] You know who I am.

[You think it, she hears it.]

[If history has proven anything, it's that a lovely enough prison does wonders to prevent escape attempts. It's all very Stockholm Syndrome, really.

And then she drops the other end of her thought, and he freezes. Has he been that awkward? He'd thought he was behaving perfectly properly with her, unlike the others...]

I -- well.

Does that upset you?

[She shakes her head quickly, dismissing that particular idea.]

No. I do not mind it-- I'm only curious.

[Not everyone who knows her when they arrive here, or at least knows of her, thinks of her as a friendly face.]

Do you know me as an Avenger? Or something else?

[He considers the question carefully. Shield has known about the Sokovian twins, as well as the fact that they aren't quite twins anymore. He knows some abstractions about powered people, but things have been so hectic on his immediate plate that he didn't think about the details much.]

Well - it would be difficult not to know you as an Avenger. Seems like you're in the news more often than you aren't.

Not so difficult for some, depending on when you come from.

[She's fortunate, she supposes, that so many who have come to Wonderland know her the same way that Fitz does. No witch hunts so far, though she's curious as to how long that might last.]

I have not always been an Avenger, after all. Before I came here, it had only been a matter of weeks.

[Even if witch hunts were in order, Fitz disapproves of them. There's never a reason to be so disrespectful to another human, powered or not. The Inhumans are having a rough go of it as it is.]

It's... Something of a professional interest to make sure that people like you are free to act independently.

[That sparks her interest.]

Is it? [A beat.] Do you know Daisy?

[translation: SHIELD yes/no?]

[SHIELD status: Y.]

Daisy's a very good friend of mine.

[Excellent.]

Then you, too, are a member of SHIELD.

[Very convenient.]

[He sighs softly. Daisy's done a terrible job with keeping secrets here.]

It seems that she's been rather free about that association, yes.

[She smiles knowingly, just a little.]

In her defense, I am a hard person to keep secrets from.

[Because she's the Scarlet Witch and SHE'S SO COOL and]

We're in the profession of keeping secrets from other professionals.

Which is admirable, of course. I could always read your thoughts, if I wanted to know them badly enough.

[Look, she's not about to abuse that, but she could.]
