[As Steve passes by the bakery, a young lady opens the door holding a box of pastries. She has it open and isn't looking where she's headed. It's still reflex for her to pass through objects like when she was a ghost, so she ends up running right into him, squeaking in surprise and dropping the box.]
[First reaction? To grab that box before it hits the floor! At least the training still paid off, even if he looks kind of ridiculous catching that in his scrawny state.] Oh no. I'm fine. I apologize though. I think I almost ruined whatever you were carrying out.
[Holding the box out a little sheepishly.] I'm perfectly fine, you don't have to worry.
Oh, wow! Nice catch. Ha, I swear I'm not usually this clumsy. Sometimes I'm just not with it, especially after the week we had here. [She takes the box from him, looking just as sheepish.
Peeking inside, she smiles, and takes out a cookie.] Oh, they're okay! Here, have one. I owe you that much. They're really good, I promise.
Last week? Did something big occur? I guess you can say I'm not up with the times. I've somehow arrived here this morning honestly.
[He takes one, smiling softly.] Thank you, but you really didn't owe me anything. I'm just glad that you weren't hurt or that I didn't ruined your purchase.
Oh, well, then you just missed a whole bunch of annoying stuff! There were robot monsters, and this blobbly cheery goo stuff, violent evil twins AND I was taller than a house for a whole day! And I know since you just got here that totally sounds fake, but trust me, everyone in this place will back me up. Well, not the drones. But the others will.
What's your name? I'm Aurora. I've only been here... Um, a month or two?
Well, it all does sounds pretty unbelievable, but I've seen enough through my life that it isn't something that isn't possible. [Working with other superheroes. Anything is possible.]
Really? I guess people here do really come from all sorts of places, so I can see that. Then you'll be prepared pretty well for this place. The people who live here are really nice, though! The drones can be difficult, but it's not really their fault, you know?
sorry for the delay! was on hiatus ><forever_cheeryNovember 8 2011, 03:30:07 UTC
Third time? Really? What sorts of places have you been? I mean, I've visited a few different times, but I'm sort of a special case, I guess. It's a long story.
Hi I'm super late 8,D;;;rogersthatNovember 15 2011, 22:55:23 UTC
Ah. Well, I actually grew up around these times. I fought in the War that came to pass before now I believe. This is assuming that the time is, indeed, the 1950s. I've spent a lot of my time in America, but I traveled to Europe for awhile during my time as a soldier.
I guess we'll have to just settle with being stuck in this place for now. [Although, he sounds very much like he's still deciding how to get home. He's been thrown around enough that there must be a way back.]
I guess it would give me something to do. But even if this is a small tone, figuring out who's been droned or not is pretty difficult.
Eep! Ah, oh no! Oh, are you okay?!

Steve Rogers. A pleasure.

They're just a bit unsettling I suppose. They don't really cause any harm though.

It sounds like it may be random, given the large spectrum of different people this place has somehow accumulated.

Probably... People here get droned a lot so who knows. If there's a pattern, it might be hard to find.
