[A blond haired man appears on screen, the expression on his face friendly if somewhat tense. Steve has experienced some pretty strange things in his life, and if it's taught him anything it's the importance of being on your guard; especially when you're lacking needed information or control of the situation. Which, in this case, he has neither.

Glimpses of the magazine stand can be seen behind him, making his location clear. As far as starter information begins, he has to admit that it succinctly explains the situation and offers a jumping point for people to find housing and jobs, but at the same time it doesn't offer much information on what he's mostly concerned with; returning home.]

Hello, my name is Steve Rogers. I'm a new arrival here and I have some additional questions that I have not found answered so far. Miss Schnee mentions that no one yet knows how to return home, but that they are people working towards that goal here. For those people I have to ask, has anything of interest been discovered? What kind of progress has been made regarding returning home? I would also like to offer my assistance in this where it's needed, either it be to a group working together in this or individuals who wouldn't mind sharing information.

[His situation back home might be precarious at best, but he has people relying on him that he needs to return to. This talk of creating a life here might sound nice in theory, but the fact is that they're all prisoners here, whether they like it or not. And that does not endear this place to Steve. He's already had to rebuild a new life once.]

I'm also interested in any information that might be good for a new comer to know. Anything that might not have been mentioned in the brochures. [Most of which he's at least skimmed.] Even if you think I might have heard it before, feel free to share whatever information you think might be important.

[He pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath. He knows he needs to ask, but he's not sure what kind of response he would prefer. What would be better; having people from his world here just as stuck as he is, or being here alone?]

...If the name Captain America means anything to anyone, let me know.

around Genessia;

[Steve is a little wary of attempting to access one of the other cities and so he keeps to Genessia for now, exploring the city and getting to know his surroundings. He can be found in various places around the city such as the Bright Sky Diner, stopping in for a quick lunch, the Employment Building, the Garden Park, and more!]

[ It's been a few weeks, but those weeks have taken a toll on Furude Rika. She's lonely without her friends, and she isn't exactly certain if she can handle it much longer. Plus, there's simply just something that she needs, and it's getting a little difficult to continue to buy that 'something' without a job.

Which is why Rika decides to pipe up today with a huge smile. It's forced, but it isn't as if anybody's bound to notice. ]

Good afternoon, everybody. I saw the newspapers recently and was wondering what kinds of jobs do you guys think would be suitable for me. I've never had a job before, so I'm rather curious to see what would be fun. I'm really good at playing games and I know how to cook and clean, if that helps anybody out. I'm really excited to be working with each and every one of you. Nipa~✰

✿ action: garden park ( really late evening, around 11 PM )

[ Sometimes, it gets dull in a world you don't know. And for Rika, there's only one way to get rid of that dullness. With a little bit of wine, of course. How did she manage to get it, a mystery... but she sure didn't do it illegally, that's for sure.

Someone might note that it's Bernkastel wine that she's drinking as she sits down on a bench, rather bored before staring up at the sky, speaking in a dark, cold voice; one that doesn't belong to a child, but rather, an adult. ]

I never thought that in a thousand years I'd be placed in a Fragment outside of Hinamizawa without Hanyuu... ahh, it's such a lonely sight, in the end. That I have to drink this to even get by... it's truly something.

I'm not the greatest ad spokesperson in the world, but as usual, if you know science, the Genessian Scientific Research Foundation could use your help. We're seriously understaffed right now and the more people we have working, the more likely we are to find something. I'm a surgeon-turned-assistant medical examiner-turned-pathologist, there are only so many possibilities I can cover or you'd probably be getting more frequent updates, Genessia.

How many of you are from the U.S.? I know this isn't exactly the home-of-the-brave here, but I'll admit to missing out on barbecues and fireworks. Is anyone doing anything tomorrow?

( closed stuff for blaine, toby )

[Ace is camped on his favorite spot on the beach of Genessia on another pile of driftwood and such that he's been collecting for various Ace related reasons. He doesn't look really happy, though. And he even sounds pissed, voice tight and clipped.]

I'm looking to start a pirate crew. Not sure what the ultimate goal is but for right now adventure, breaking laws, maybe some arson and never paying for anything you eat ever.

If you're interested come and apply in person.

You know where I am.

[it's almost as if he has ulterior motives for this post. But what could they be?]
