[ The feed starts with a bespectacled face looking worriedly into the screen. He smiles when he makes sure it's working. ]
Oh, great- Hello everyone! Well, you know, they're kind of hard to miss, but I figured I'd ask the network here to see if anyone's heard anything about these power outages and flickering we've had going on. Kind of a bad time, eh, with the season it is. Miserable to be without air conditioning...
[ Laughing and tucking some hair behind his ear. Being on camera always made him a little nervous. ]
A-anyway, I thought the generator meet-up thing a couple weeks back was supposed to create more power...? I dunno, just figured I'd ask and get anyone else's thoughts on it. Hope it's not a bad sign, you know?

That's what I was kinda hoping for... [ Because nope nope he's not good with that either. Passively, like this? Sure! Asking them outright? No he'll be over here. What problem? ]
[ video ]
Maybe we can ask someone to ask for us! ["Go ask them for me!" High school tactics can be applied to other situations, right?] ...I wonder if the guy next door would do it...?
[ video ]
[ 'Cause on one side's America (who would probably do it if he hasn't already), and he's never actually met the other fellow next door to him.
America says he's a vampire, but America also believes in ghosts so how reliable is that?
Not to mention all the other people on his hall besides Pilouette. ]

[She totally did finger quotes.]
He seems like the kind of guy who would be good at asking questions about that kind of stuff since he's like, kinda talky. But even if they don't answer his questions, I bet he would be able to find out a lot of important stuff anyway! I mean, people who do that kind of work kind of have to be able to do that, I think.
[Though, Pilouette's ideas of what America's "work" is stems from a somewhat...active imagination.]
sorry this is so late!
He's very good at asking questions- Not the kinda guy who's shy about it either. I bet he could do it- yeah definitely would do it- if we asked.
If nothing else he's the "hero" type; as you can expect from the good ol' U.S.A.
No problem!
But what do you mean by "hero" type?
[She wonders if this will confirm her assumptions.]
so sorry for late, been a crazy week!
Well... [ How to phrase this. ]
He's always the first guy to sign up to save the day, no matter what the risk or the cost or, well, anything. Even if it's stupid and reckless, he'll do whatever it takes if it's the right thing to do.
[ With a tired, worried smile. How many nights had he spent agonizing over another one of America's wild plans for "freedom" again? ]
No probs!
That's...
That's so COOL! I don't think I've ever met like, a real hero before...!
[Even if it's likely not the impression that Matthew intended to make with that description, Pilouette can't help but be impressed. Someone who throws himself into danger to help others, no matter what the cost...So America isn't just some kind of super-spy like she thought! He's an actual hero...!]
no subject
Yeah feel free to tell him that, he'd appreciate it. No one has ever wished he was actually Captain America more than Al- America, even.
[ What are names? ha. ]
no subject
[She can't help but be just the tiniest bit disappointed. "Al" isn't a very heroic name. But wait, if Matthew knows America's real name...]
Sooo...you know America pretty well, huh?
