[ It takes Jane a long while to settle down to this first ... whatever. Video? Journal entry? Something. She has clothes - not her own, but clothes nonetheless - and even a small bag of food, to take with her when she goes to find ... well. Someplace to stay. Stay, not live. This won't be home. It can't be.
She sighs heavily, puffing her cheeks out on a hard breath as she flips through the pages. An hour or two of reading have acquainted her with how the system works, as bizarre as it is. She sounds tired, when she speaks, a sort of bone weary ache. ]
Alright. So the journal is some sort of half-book half-iPad technomagical means of communicating, aaaaand this place gives you wings. [ A beat. ] There's a cheesy Red Bull ad in there somewhere, but I'm not going there.
[ A pause. Stay on track for three seconds, why don't you? ]
Sorry, I-- my name is Jane Foster. I'm a astrophysicist with SHIELD, if that means anything to anyone. Well, more like a researcher, but -- anyway. I just really hope that means something to someone. It'd be nice to at least -- I don't know. Have a familiar face from my own world. Or universe. I'm guessing universe.
[ Another pause, shorter. ] So how many versions of Earth are there, here? I'm going to guess at least a dozen. Maybe several dozen, who knows. And probably plenty of other worlds besides. From who knows how many different universes. And yet here we all are. [ She laughs, incredulous and kind of unhappy. ] This place is somehow the special one. I'd just -- love to know how they do it, really. Someone's going to tell me it's magic, and I just--
[ She finally stops, sighing again. ]
Sorry, sorry. Um -- hi. Nice to ... meet all of you, I guess.

[action] I finally have a long thread with ishka!!! /megusta
[He's so very unsure right now.]
It's okay, though. We're actually doing really well on our own. I mean, I think we are? We've screwed up a few times, but even super heroes aren't perfect.
[action] LMFAO to many, many more with these two
[action] I am on board with this 1000% yes
[action] shameless....
You know what I think? I think you'll be fine. It sounds like a good group, Billy. If it was me? I think I'd trust you guys.
[ She'd trust Billy. He's such an obviously, genuinely good kid who'd do everything he could to help others. ]
[action] I prefer to call it enthusiastic..!!
...Then again, when they'd decided to leave, things... hadn't gone so well. No wonder Cap had been so cautious.
Still, it means a lot, especially coming from someone he trusts (even if she's from an alternate universe), so he doesn't hesitate to smile appreciatively at her words.]
Thanks... and I'll be doing whatever I can to earn that kind of trust here, too. That's a promise.
