[Has absolutely no clue what he's just seen. "America" didn't even exist in his day, let alone television and photographs and modern marketing.]

Do the women where you come from usually wear such tiny skirts?

[video]

[savesthedance]

Just the show girls, mostly.

I've seen worse here, though. [Much. Worse.]

[unholydecree]

Very much so. [He agrees with you there. Some of it is nice on the eyes, some of it... not so much.]

What is a show girl? [He assumes that is some kind of prostitute but isn't say that out loud.]

[savesthedance]

[...it's probably a good thing he didn't say that, because that would have been overkill for this guy here.]

Those girls in my dream? Those are show girls. They sing and dance for performances.

[pointofserenity]

You're...

[People like Einstein and Darwin may have been his childhood heroes rather than the caped crusaders of other children, but even he wasn't unaffected by the images of Captain American when he was young.]

Captain America?!

[savesthedance]

[Okay, wow. Someone that actually knew who Captain America was? He was a bit surprised, since it didn't seem many of the people here actually did know. Aaaaand he's rubbing the back of his head for a moment before responding.]

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

[pointofserenity]

[What do you even say to a famous historical figure? Hi, you're a war hero I watched you on television when I was younger.

Okay Charles, stop staring at him like a crazy person.]

...wow.

I can hardly believe it.

[savesthedance]

[So awkward oh man...]

I, uh-- take you're a fan?

[What year had Charles said he was from? Sometime in the 60s, right? That would put him at a young age in the 40's, so it'd make sense.]

[curingflower]

Wooooow! So cool!

[video]

[savesthedance]

[A small smile.]

You thought so?

Re: [video]

[curingflower]

I do! It's very cool how you looked up on the stage like that! I'm sure a lot of people appreciated your efforts!

[video]

[savesthedance]

Well, thanks. I sure hope so. It was nice being able to do something to help the war effort.

[Maverick watches the dream with a amused look on his face. It kind of reminds him of the pulblistity stunts that Hero TV sets up back in his home world.]

Ah, so you are a kind of hero?

[video]

[savesthedance]

[He shrugs.]

Something like that. I was kinda a figurehead created to bump up bond sells to help the war effort.

[Then he became a real hero, but he felt no need to mention that right now.]

[video]

[mrmindgoosh]

Really now? Why that is really interesting.

You must have inspired and brought hope a lot people, hmm?

[video]

[savesthedance]

[He nods.]

I'd like to think so. If anything, I at least was able to help the war effort in some way. [Since they wouldn't let him fight at the time. :T]

[toweltreasuring]

...So you perform too?

[savesthedance]

I did perform. Stopped about a year before I came here.

Too?

video;

[toweltreasuring]

Oh, I see.

...Ah. I performed on stage too, at home.

[savesthedance]

Really? Hope it wasn't as embarrassing for you, then.
