[She's been in Luceti for a day now. A day was more than enough time for the wings to stop hurting, the shock to wear off, and for her to find her old uniform and dress a little less like a girl on her way to primary school in the summer. A day was long enough to learn that this place wasn't entirely hostile and that it was extensive, reaching from the beach to the mountains and out until she hit an invisible wall that seemed to cut her off from whatever lay beyond it.

A day was also long enough to realize she was stuck and that the book was a method of communicating with others. People seemed to talk freely over it and she wasn't the only one arriving either. Captain Nathan Spencer, Peter Parker, Eugene, Sue Richards, Noel Vermillion - names that meant nothing to her, but it indicated that people came and went here according to someone else's agenda.

It hadn't taken her long to find the Guide, either, and after skimming through it, she felt a bit more...well, level was probably the best way to describe it. She's taken to hiding out in the woods for now, waiting to assess the situation before she moved into town. Now there was just one problem that remained: revealing herself to the enclosure and to possibly hostile elements. ]

As I'm not the only person to recently arrive to this place and I'm sure you are all quite tired of repeating the same welcome speeches, let me introduce myself and be brief about it.

Agent Carter, British Royal Military.

Any information not to be found in the guide already so helpfully provided would be appreciated.

Oh hell, you too?

[Man, he did not want to see you here Peggy. Especially not now given all the circumstances.]

Agent Carter. Glad to be of assistance. [Pause.] So far most of what's in that guide checks out, but it's hard to believe it till you see it for yourself.

It must be the steady voice of military authority. My tender civilian mind is put entirely at ease.

[There's a joke in the faux-dignified lilt and pomp of Jack's tone, but it's entirely good-natured, and he means no disrespect by the levity. If nothing else, he has to admit that Carter's being awfully clever about it, lying low and gathering information.]

. . . well, that, and I had my spot of running in circles like a madman yesterday.

[That earns Peggy a grin.] Definitely not on your back for the first couple of days. I’m more of a side sleeper, though.

Try to keep yourself busy. When there isn’t something else happening, time moves pretty slowly around here.

Have you found anyone from your world yet?

Nice to hear from you too, Stark.

[Because yeah, she heard you were here from Barton, but she hardly believed it until now.]

Most people would be put ill at ease upon hearing from the military, I would think.

[Also a joke, dry, but not without a hint of amicability in there.]

All settled now then, are we?

[stabbystabbyflyingdeath!!11]

Ah, then not much different from what we did. Good to hear they wizened up and learned how much they need us.

More likely than not it's a mixture of the two.

Another military person? What do you want to know?

Our Director is a difficult man to refuse ma'am. We still tend to work covertly however. The general public is not really aware of our activities.

Yes....I'm learning that rather quickly myself.

[How are you even alive? Steve said he saw you fall into the ravine, hundreds of feet into icy waters which typically means no survival. You were listed as MIA but... Would it be rude to ask? Maybe he doesn't even know, or maybe he just... Ugh, headache.]

What year is it for you, Sergeant?

[World. Keep busy. How does an intelligence officer keep busy when the technology is so far advanced??]

...As of yet, no, but I'm sure some must be here if I am.

For the best they don't know.

Who is your Director now? [Because Howard must be, goodness, years old by 2012.]

By that, I take it there are a few of us around?

I'm curious to see what hasn't been listed in the guide - history, culture, a timetable of events.

Can't argue with that.

He's called Nick Fury. He's... an imposing figure.

Yes. Though, more than there used to be.

That's all a hodgepodge thanks to all the different worlds represented here. So far as I can tell, this enclosure itself has been running for about four years now. Maybe longer. And I can only tell you about the last two.

Are there any residents who have been here for longer?

[She jots the name down on a separate notepad and keeps his name in mind.]

And what else would you call him besides imposing?

A few have been here for four years, but it's up to them whether to talk about it. They haven't told me much more than that it used to lack electricity, the barrier was smaller and circular, and I was here when the desert flooded into the ocean we have now.

Otherwise, it's just been a lot of shifts.

So climatic and terrestrial changes occur, if rarely. Any events that preceded those that could act as an indicator of further change?

Someone giving you a hard time? [He may be teasing, just a little bit. Goodnaturedly, mind you.]

Shifts happen every so often. Maybe once a month. New Feather cycles have been every other month for awhile now.

People also get individually kidnapped and shift-affected on a localized or individual level.

Nothing really predicts it, and every so often the Malnosso go out of their way to make the shifts unavoidable.

[He can gather a few things from the other responses - this is someone who knows Bucky, and even more alarming(!), knows his dad. Which seems to make it pretty likely that she'd know Steve, too.

Which is...A Situation. Well, that connection is enough to get him to respond himself.]

Hello, Agent. Welcome to the worst vacation of your life.

[It's the Stark standard fallback greeting (patent pending).]

What do you want me to say? "Welcome to Luceti, hope you have fun"? I was hoping you wouldn't come here to tell you the truth.

[Especially now, of all times.]

It's entirely possible. There are quite a few people here from the same place I am.

I'm Pepper Potts, by the way. It's nice to meet you.
