[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.

I'm not sure how much there is to say outside of the guide, Agent Carter. Did you have any specific questions?

[voice]

[rightfootforward]

There is always something to be said that isn't officially written down as I've learned. Tips and advice on how to adjust to life, for example. How better to sleep when wings seem to get in the way, for another.

Re: [voice]

[handing]

[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?

[Normally it'd be great to see Peggy, despite the circumstances. Now... well it's still good to see her. Steve will be thrilled when he gets back in two days, however that works around here. There's just that whole can of worms labeled 'Draft' to deal with... sometime. And that thing where she probably thinks he's dead. Seems like it's just going around.

He puts on his usual smirk and goes right for it.]

Well, you're a sight for sore eyes.

voice

[bionically]

And not a word to spare, huh?

[He chuckles lightly, warmly, all too familiar with this clipped, stiff, and cooly professional form of greeting. It's nice to know there are other military personnel in this place.]

voice

[rightfootforward]

Considering the unknown terrain? No.

[still clipped, still stiff, but not unfriendly]

[Video]

[complicatedliar]

That is rather a broad question. You probably ought to limit it down a bit.

[Video]

[rightfootforward]

I ought to, yes, but considering what I do know far outweighs what I do not, I thought it more interesting to see what people might offer.

[Voice]

[asthehawkflies]

[There's something about the name that he feels he should recognise but there's not enough information to go on yet.]

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, Agent, but I can say people are still a bit shaken up after the Draft last week. We lost some good people.

[Voice]

[rightfootforward]

That would be a good place to start. What was this "Draft"?

voice;

[breezing]

You should join the art club!

[ That's not in the guide, after all. 8D ]

Or one of the other organizations here! They make things fun.

voice;

[rightfootforward]

[whoa it's a child. a very...happy child?]

That certainly wasn't mentioned. I'd love to hear more.

[The mishmash of communication styles is something that Jack is still getting used to, but he always goes through the audio dispatches first. Maybe it's a little nostalgia for home - that's certainly what accounts for the broad smile that spreads across his face when he hears Agent Carter's voice. His first day has been predominated by people of indeterminate origin and Americans, and it's nice to hear something a little reminiscent of home. Even if he left home in less than the best of states.]

Sorry to say I'm new as well, so I haven't gathered much, Agent. But whatever they want you to do here to pay for your food and shelter, they don't mention it on the first day.

That and, well, they didn't turn away a man with one leg. Generally a mark of good character, kindness, those sorts of things.

[rightfootforward]

It seems we're meant to believe it's all free, unless you wish to trade military service for it.

[One leg though? ...ouch. Although the accent is familiar and somewhat reassuring. Good to hear someone who might know home and isn't back from the dead like Mr. Barnes up there.]

And yes, generally. Although I hope they left you in better conditions than they did me.

...here we go again?

[greenjacketed]

British Royal Military, ma'am?

[ hrrrm. not his name for his military, granted. and he certainly doesn't know what the bloody hell an agent is supposed to be. was that a rank? an outfit? best to play it safe. ]

GERONIMO!!!!

[rightfootforward]

You've heard of it, perhaps?

voice;

[arcinvent]

Oh hell, you too?

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

voice;

[rightfootforward]

Nice to hear from you too, Stark.

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

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Another military person? What do you want to know?

[Voice]

[rightfootforward]

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.

voice;

[alloys]

[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).]

voice;

[rightfootforward]

[Familiar tone, that one. Something about the way he says it strikes her and she listens in a little more intently.]

I would say thank you, but all things considered, I shall stick with "hello" in return.

[voice] OMG i missed this i am sorry i'm late

[lorentzian]

British Royal Military. Wow. Is that as impressive as it sounds? [ With some mild amusement, but. ] Anyway, that guide? Is really pretty thorough. I'm not sure what else we could tell you, especially if you were perceptive enough to already find it.

[voice] it's no worries! I backthread into infinity |D

[rightfootforward]

[She's not sure if you're making fun of her or not, but pfff it's okay if you are, stranger.]

Only if you're impressed by the military.

I'm merely curious to see what else is thought of as common sense here. It's strange enough that wings and leaving a woman in the forest in a sundress mid-autumn is seen as normal.
