WHO: James Rogers & You!
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: February 5th
WHAT: James has a proposition and a question for the network!
WARNINGS: Talk of death and grieving practices and.... I mean, it's James. There's no way the robot apocalypse won't come up.
[The camera clicks on to a view of a chair in front of a desk in a slightly cluttered room in Meropide. It's clear some effort went into tidying it up, but there's still a few shirts and socks strewn over the place and the wall is a mess of overlapping posters of various scenic views and national parks. James is partially in frame, adjusting the camera angle before stepping back, seemingly satisfied, and going to take a seat.
He's in his Captain America outfit, a blue-black top with a red star stitched into it, his hair combed back nice and neat-- he's in work mode, not chaotic little cat gremlin mode.]
So... hi. For those of you who don't know, I'm James Rogers. I came here from a different world last September, so I guess I'm what people would call an... isekai? [It's so obvious he's never said that word out loud in his life.] Anyway, that's not-- ... what I'm trying to say today.
[He makes a face, takes a deep breath, squares himself up a little more in his chair, and...]
My home world is one of many that we know of. We've been dealing with alternate realities for a long, long time. With worlds that become entirely new realities based on a single decision or a won or lost battle-- the place I was before Kaisou, I was living and dealing with three completely different versions of the guy who raised me. So situations like this aren't that uncommon for me.
And at home-- we have a team. A group of people with extraordinary abilities who came together to help fight unthinkable forces and just to help the people of the cities they lived in. In my world, I'm the leader of that team, and in the place I was before this, I helped put together another branch of it. I'd really like to do that here, too, but...
[EXHALE] I guess I just really don't want to step on any toes, and you guys have been really organized here. It's nice to see.
Because of that, I just want to know if there are any other people around my age with abilities or powers either from their worlds, or from Kaisou, who want to get together to train and maybe form a response squad in times of danger. My... father believed that the most dangerous thing people with abilities can do is not know how to use them, and I know I've gotten some weird abilities since living here that I definitely didn't have in my world.
So, if anyone wants to join the Avengers-- or at least the Kaisou branch of them, let me know! I'm sure with all the spirit realms and places constantly showing up around the city, we can find a place or two to get together and figure things out.
[This is, by far, the most anyone has ever heard James speak at once. Seems the boy can channel his father when he needs to! But as he leans forward to turn the camera off, he pauses, and sheepishly adds a little aside--]
Oh, and... for anyone who isn't interested, maybe I can just ask you a question. What... do people typically do to honor those who have died, here?

He should respond to this in an official capacity.]
It's a good idea. There are many souls who wish to protect this city and its inhabitants, so it'd be good to have something organized.
[that being said]
I won't be involving myself. Seal Knights have their set of rules regarding which matters they can involve themselves. We're meant to deal with matters that lie outside of humanity's purview.
Besides, I wish to see what you will be capable of, Avenger.
no subject
I didn't expect you to, honestly, but I'm glad you saw this. [Come on, James. This is your first actual dealing with another superhero in this world. You can do this.] If whatever the Avengers become can help the next time the city's in danger, we will. I won't force anyone to fight, of course, but you can always keep me in mind, at least.
[But it's obvious how much Shroud's last words mean to James. The way they light a fire in his eyes, the way he puffs his chest up with pride.
Being an Avenger means a lot to him.]
no subject
But he manages to keep his cool, only giving a slight nod]
I look forward to seeing the results.
[He'll turn off the feed then, as he's said all he wanted to say. What comes of the Avengers was up to this young man and the people who join up with him]
