[This is the first time that Steve is making a video like this to everyone, but he has used this feature when talking to others on this network at least. So, he doesn't look too awkward as he talks into it.]

Know that this is a bit late, but wanted to thank the people who gave me these items for Christmas. [He shows a rather famous red, white and blue circular shield and a Captain America costume that was used during the USO tours.]

It's real thoughtful of you. [He smiles a little, completely honest in his words.] However, the outfit is a bit too uh- big for me. Couldn't get it on without drowning in it, to be honest. So I'm wondering if anyone wants it, don't have much of a use for it myself and I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

[He looks down at the shield for a moment, feeling somewhat attached to it despite himself.] I'm keepin' the shield though, never know when something like this could come in handy...

[ooc: Feel free to fourth wall him or point out that those are Captain America stuff. Tony has already spilled the beans about it.]

Not normally, hope that we dress a little more subtle than this. [Not that he didn't enjoy being patriotic when the time calls for it, but wearing red, white, and blue everyday is a bit too much even for him. And tights.]

This costume seems more of something that we would wear for propaganda or star in some sort of show. It is my country's colors.

Oh. I get it. [ He slowly nods. ] It's like if I would paint a big red dot on my shirt.

[ Not entirely the same, since his outfit isn't as over the top as that costume, but it's the closest he can get.. ]

Do they have shows with people dressed in your country's colors where you come from? I've never seen one of those.

[wontdoanyless]

Something like that.

[Steve thinks it's close enough to the point at any rate.]

Yeah, they've been real popular lately. With the war goin' on, they're used to encourage people to support our country and troops as much as possible.

I thought it would be normal for people to support their country during a war. [ Granted, Josuke doesn't have much knowledge of recent happenings - he's thinking way back, as in centuries back in time. ]

That's why people join the army too, right? To fight for their country and support it.

[wontdoanyless]

Some don't support war, for whatever reasons they have. But it's true that not all wars are fought for good reasons.[Although Steve thinks that joining World War II is the right thing to do.]

A lot of people do. I joined because I wanna stop the bullies out there.

[4balls]

That's a good reason.

[ It's probably the same reason Josuke would fight in a war, honestly. It's not as much national pride (how can he have that if he doesn't even know who he is?) as much as it's wanting to stop people from harming others. ]

Did you get to defeat a lot of those bullies?

[wontdoanyless]

I'd hope so.

[At the question though, Steve shakes his head.] Only got through basic training, haven't even been shipped out yet.
