So, uh, my name is Billy Kaplan.

[And from the looks of it, he's sprawled out on his bed in the communal housing, camera held above him steadily. He makes a face.]

I have no idea what to say about myself. I was a student back home and I know a little magic. [He's a little tentative about that one, but-- he's not sure there's a point in keeping it secret here either.] But marketable skills? I'm not so sure about that one. I guess I need to figure something out though.

[Considering he's going to be here for a while...]

I guess I'm making this to ask what all of you plan to do here? If you have any definite plans at all, I mean.

You're a magician?

[Have a cheery victorian girl, who is just barely starting to figure out how to focus her camera.]

What sort of magic do you do?

[ Yuri looks sharp and judgemental, his eyes narrowed and one lip curling back just slightly, as if torn between a barking laugh and a sneer. ]

Stand on a street corner and pull cards out of your ass. I'm sure someone will pay to see it. [ He flicks his wrist not holding his phone, as if discarding the other's concerns about needing something to do, and huffing. ]

The fact of the matter is, we're stuck here for the foreseeable future. Until they can finagle their portal to send us back to the right reality, we might as well make things work here.

[Granted, Bucky doesn't exactly trust the people in charge, but he can keep that to himself for the moment. They probably monitor this network, or so his more paranoid side is telling him.]

[The video turns on and then almost as quickly turns off. Second time he gets it a little better, though it looks as if Ivar doesn't quite understand the angle of how to work the camera just yet.]

I don't know how long I'm staying, but I'm needed back home. I've got battles to win and another king to kill.

[He says this very casually as if every sixteen year old should be fighting in a war and figuring out regicide on a daily basis.]

I talked to the welcoming committee orientation people when I got here and they set me up at the gym, helping people train and stay in good shape. For sports but also monster-fighting and assorted adventuring. And I'm on-call for tech stuff for the hospital if they end up need someone for biochemist stuff.

[ Feels a bit weird and borderline boastful just answering that question without asking one of his own, though, especially when this kid said he feels like he doesn't have anything to offer. Everyone has something to offer - maybe he just needs a little encouragement. ]

What were you studying back home? And what kind of magic are we talking about? Rabbit out of a hat magic or... real magic?

Not that I'm much of an expert, but from what I understand a little magic can take you pretty far.

I'm babysitting dogs. Cool, right?
