[Canada greets Saeng Seong from inside his apartment, 3-07 in building 2. He wanted to send out a message before settling in. He sits at a table as he sends out the video. A polar bear cub is sitting in the chair next to him and reaches across the table to steal meat from the sandwich Canada was going to eat. Muffled music plays in the background coming from a next door apartment.]

Hi everyone I just arrived here. My name is Matt and this is Kumajirou. [He gestures towards Kuma without looking away from the camera and doesn't notice his lunch is being eaten yet.] I just have a couple of questions.

Are any of you familiar with someone named Alfred? I was told he's here too but I haven't seen him yet. He might be going by his other name, America. [He pauses to look towards the wall, the neighbor's music still seeping in. Better check that later- it could be him considering. As if by magic, the music stops.]

I'm still really confused about where we are exactly. -Or why they took us. I'm having trouble believing that physical contact can generate energy or keep us from getting sick. Usually you avoid touching someone while they're sick so you don't get infected. What have you discovered so far about-

[The sound of a crash is heard in the background and Matthew jumps and turns to look at something off screen. It isn't seen on camera, but the door to his apartment has just been flung open and after the sound of rapid loud foot thumps another figure enters the video feed, tackling Matthew (and his chair) to the floor with a crash. Kumajirou takes advantage of this distraction and starts eating the rest of the sandwich.]

MATT! YOU'RE OKAY! YOU'RE NOT IN A TEST TUBE!

OUCH! ALFRED GET OFF! Of course I'm not in a test tube. What are you talking about?

[Canada pulls himself up, rearranges his chair, and gives the camera an embarrassed smile and America a less than happy sideways glance. America pulls up a seat next to him and leans in to get on camera too.]

Um. I found Alfred. But I'd still like to hear about this world or at least meet my fellow "visitors."

[Steve decides to go along with the whole energy talk, it's important anyway.]

Think the only real evidence we got is the restoration of the district, as America mentioned. Guess they could be pulling our leg with that, but not sure how to confirm it either way...

Nice to meet you Steve.

If only someone here knew about electric engineering. I think that we could see to it a device is made to test if it's true.

Aw man you're right! Nikola Thesla was here before but he was sent home. We should ask around- see if any other people could build something.

What about you Steve? You know anybody with those skills?

I do. [He didn't quite get along with said person, although recently they seemed to be on better terms...]

Know of someone, that is. His name is Tony Stark. I've seen first hand the technology he's been able to create.

[Canada smiles. His idea might have a chance of working out.]

Do you think he'd be willing to make a testing device?

Oh yeah! I met that guy! I remember he was messing around with some festival lights so they spelled out his name.

[America laughs. It was a brief encounter. An amusing first impression.]

Yeah, that's his uh, brand of humor. [He's putting it politely.]

He might. [Steve's not sure if he can guaranteed it though.] I'll ask him the next time I see him.
