[He's out of practice. Steve is quiet for a second as he starts the transmission, bracing himself.]

My name is Steve Rogers. In my world, I'm also known as Captain America. Some of you might know me, but that's not what I want to talk about.

[Well, not about his work specifically. He does wants to talk about work.]

We're all here for different reasons and I'm not going to pry into anyone's business, but I think there are some of us who are used to defending people in our home worlds and if you are, I'd like to work with you. If you're from a world like mine, then this city is quieter than others. But that doesn't mean we don't need to look out for it. The wildlife and technical problems still need attention. I know I'm asking you for more time on top of the work we're already doing with the Perimeter Guard and official positions, but I'd like to make that extra effort. A lot of you are probably better suited to organizing this than I am. If you have projects going, I want to join you. I want us to share those ideas and work together to help the city.

[His posture gets subtly more stern, with his chin raising and his shoulders straight. This part may not just be a general appeal for teamwork.]

It's easy to overlook some problems when most of the big issues are under control. We get by well enough. It's a nice place. I'm not going to let anything put this place in danger. I'm going to be on guard, to make sure nothing gets out of hand. I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone, but if you're interested in a little community service, maybe we can do that together. Thanks for listening.

Well, probably, but I'm not saying I think they mean us harm.

I just think it's a good idea to work together. We'll get more done if we make this our community. We're not originally from here and it can feel like we don't belong. That no one cares, because it's not our home.

I'd like to change that.

[igotusout]

I get the appeal but im not buying it

Even if we put the effort into feeling like home would you stay here instead of going back if the portal gave you a chance??

I know i would. I need to get back to my family and what we were doing back home

[livingsymbol]

Actually, if I'm given the chance, I think I'll stay.

But even if I do go back at some point, I want my time while I'm here to be spent keeping everyone safe. And I know at some point there are going to be people left here, whether they are from another place or not. If I can do something for them, I'll try to do that.

No one says you have to. That's just how I feel about it.

[igotusout]

Not the choice id expect given that title u used

Im bad at being idle and given what i do id be useful

Doesnt mean im making this home

[livingsymbol]

Why is that?

You don't have to. It's a choice.

[igotusout]

Captain america not returning to america?

I make shields out of air

I think i could help protect people even without calling this home

[livingsymbol]

I'm needed here too. I may go back eventually, but... not right now.

No one is asking you to call any place home.

[igotusout]

[livingsymbol]

Was I winning something?

[igotusout]

Im agreeing to help with your plan

Im young and still training but im strong

[livingsymbol]

Well, I appreciate your willingness to help. I guess I didn't realize this was some kind of test.

There are people from your world here?

[igotusout]

I have trust issues

Yeah john and clarice

John is on the guard like me

[livingsymbol]

Fair enough.

Welcome to the Perimeter Guard. If there are any questions you'd like me to answer, I'll do my best to help put those trust issues at ease.
