[A couple days after arriving, Steve decided it was time to introduce himself. Reasons for that were varied, but intentions for this broadcast seemed to be an attempt to get in contact with anyone who might know him from his world.]

Probably good I got acquainted with these things before I came here, or this call might not have happened.

Name's Steve and I'm curious -- is there a master list on these phones of everyone here? I'm looking for someone who goes by a few names and not sure if they'd use her real name or one of them. Or can you edit that information yourself.

[Cap might be looking to see if a certain redheaded assassin is around.]

I also see you got an election going on. Maybe someone would be nice enough to fill the new guy in on the popular vote?

Appreciate the help, thanks.

Erik Lehnsherr, spread the word.

[ literally all he butted in to say, for the deeply selfish reason of wanting his pretend dad to have community power for when he inevitably fucks up bad. and, erik's pretty cool.

a beat, and murphy thinks over the rest of what was said here. uuuhh. ]

And, uh, that's a no on the directory. Try Google? Pretty much every imPort shows up somewhere.

Edited (nvm fucked up the directory thing la la la mixing up my games + typos wtf) 2017-07-09 02:49 (UTC)

Hi I'm Erik Lehnsherr and I approve this message.

Erik Lehnsherr, huh? Why? What's he promising these folks?

[It's a really good thing he can't read minds...]

I kind of figured. [Wait, back-up] There's Google here?

Wouldn't you rather hear about everyone's platforms?

Welcome back Captain Rogers, there isn't a directory but I might know who you're looking for, what's the alias?

Yeah - Google, and Bwitter, and Rumblr. [ it's a good thing that murphy is used to being a crafty little bitch, because otherwise he wouldn't have even looked into erik's platforms for this. despite his grey morality and lack of basic high school education, he's intelligent enough to make a good con or two. ]

Erik's looking out for our safety, above anything else. We're targeted by a lot of people - government, soviets, locals, hate groups, we've had rights and freedoms under threat, and he believes in providing that security for us. [ everyone likes the words 'freedom' and 'rights', because people freaking love being entitled. anyway, murphy plays the part of hopeful supporter well, smiling a little, earnest tone, all that shit. ] He's going to work on that through programs that bring imPorts and natives together, so they don't have to fear us, and we're not paranoid of them pushing us out. Erik wants to put imPorts in jobs that'll help the community, show that we're here to do some good.

[ god, he's really hoping Raven isn't watching this, because she will blow him out of the freaking water for being this full of shit. Moving on. ] He's good friends with a guy who trains up new imPorts to hone their powers, gives them a place to learn and train, so they aren't just out there blowing crap up on accident, and Erik says he wants to get that training for everyone here. He's looking to provide counseling for people who show up new, from places way different from here, struggling to come to terms with it and adjust.

[ a beat, murphy chewing on a lip, and adds on at the end ] That, and, I got hit by a car and he fronted the cash for the hospital bill. So that was neat.

[ """neat""" ]

Steve! [she's seen him here several times before, but.. she offers him a smile anyway. Hopefully he knows her.]

I'm glad to see you. Welcome?

You've likely found your answer by now, Captain. Still, your communicator is archived; most of the information you're looking for is readily available, unless someone specifically doesn't want it to be.

You should vote for me because I'm an alien so obviously I know what's best for humans.

If nothing else works you can go back through all the archives. Everything we say or text or video on here is still on here later. Most of it has a name attached but if your friend uses fake names you could check the video posts and see if they're here that way?

I'm sorry I'm not much help. I'm new, too, so I don't know much. But I did that to make sure a bad guy from my world isn't here so it might work for making sure someone is, too.

I hope you find your friend. Good luck! <3

[ Charles, still hasn't quite learned how to be completely comfortable with the camera and constant exposure, but he has embraced it as far as he can. Here he is, trying to centre himself on the picture with a smile. ]

Good day, Mr. Steve. I think you will find any information you want in the World Wide Web. [ He says it like a man whose never used the internet before. ] It's a wonderful invention. [ Someone has already discovered cat videos. ]

I was a private investigator back home. I can find them if they're in deep cover.

If they're still here. People don't choose when they come or leave, so instead of negotiating a fee, I'll ask upfront: how sure are you they're here? I can't find what's gone.

There is a list of imPorts who have gotten a communicator, yes. Not all goe by their names, but perhaps your friends will. [ most people do, even if they have a superhero name ]

But only the government can edit that information. If you wish to do that, you probably have to contact them.

[ and he is NOT going to get into politics because at this point it feels more like a joke rather than something serious ]

Vote for Riptide!

[He swears he has notes somewhere.

Ah, there we go!]

Ahem. A vote for Riptide is a vote for the people! He'll have a really unbiased view on human stuff so y'know, it'll be great!

Good to see another Steve out there.

[ As for the other questions, well. He sort of gives a helpless shrug. ]

There's a list, but I couldn't tell if everybody's on it or not. Just having a list at all is new to me.

[ Said with the tone of someone who finds all this tech pretty damn confusing. ]

Hello, Steve. This may be a bit long, as there are many to cover, but hopefully I'll be able to give you a good rundown of the candidates to get you an idea of who's running along with a general idea of their character.

[ Petyr draws in a breath. ]

We'll start with Jon Snow. He had the fortune of being rather close to the previous ambassador and working alongside her, so in terms of who has the most experience within the office, it would be him. He advocates bridging the divide between imPorts and natives and for those who have been satisfied with the work the previous ambassador has done in her city, he vows to continue doing it.

Next there is Dr. Otto Octavius. And while there has been some conflicting reports about the nature of his character over the network, he has brushed them aside to claim that there is timeline confusion over what has happened in his world and what will happen. He's a man in tune with science and one who advocates the advancements of such. Being that De Chima is a very scientific and technologically advanced city, someone of his caliber could be of value in the ambassadorial office.

Bruce Wayne is the wealthy CEO of Wayne Enterprises. He's involved himself in a great many charities and if you approach him to donate for a cause, he will not hesitate to do so. I know this first hand as he had given generously toward the large library I had built within Maurtia Falls. He, like the others, advocates working together. He proposed the creation of something akin to his Justice League back home -- a group of strong and powerful individuals who join together to fight off threats and protect the city.

Erik Lehnsherr is similar to Wayne in charitable acts. He was one of the founders of the Maria-Francis Foundation and has also been known to donate generously to a cause. And should you have a question, he will often be the first to respond with helpful information over the network so I imagine he would be prompt to respond to what's needed as an ambassador as well. He advocates safety and security within De Chima and already has in the works the construction of a training facility for imPorts and powered individuals.

Riptide is undoubtedly the oldest candidate who has seen the most. He's a non-human who advocates 'weird rich people being hosed down with water until they stop being weird' and more options for non-human imPorts. He represents technology and wants to push for it to be utilized for medical advancements.

Myrcella Baratheon is a young princess who can provide a unique outlook in a place full of technology. While Jon Snow worked with the previous ambassador Lucy Pevensie, Myrcella is the closest in terms of character to the former ambassador. She advocates inclusion -- uniting natives and imPorts in the protection of the city, helping those who are in need, and balance between all of the men and women (and nonhumans too, I suppose) who live within De Chima.

Sadie Doyle seems to have a great deal of experience with charities and fundraisers, but her primary platform seems to be looking out for each other and spreading love. I believe she would likely become something of a friend to her community were she elected.

Last, but certainly not least, you have Sam Merlotte. Sam is not a politician, he's not a wealthy man, and he has not led armies to battle before but for what he doesn't have, he makes up in heart. For some time now, he has run Merlotte's, a bar and grill within De Chima. And during that time, he has been able to unite imPorts and natives together for drinks and a laugh. He's served his community rather well and that is what he continues to stand for as his platform. Community. He genuinely cares for the people in De Chima, and will do what he can to stand for them. Sam ran for Nonah's election once before and lost by a single vote, so his is the underdog story of this election.

[ There. Finished. ]

I do hope that helped. It would be excellent seeing the newer arrivals participate in this election as well.

I can't explain these devices well, I could explain this place as best I can and help you find any you might know.

My name is Jon Snow.

Hi, Steve. I'm Laurel.

[Have a smile!]

Honestly, I haven't been following the election as much as everyone else has so I can't tell you much about the candidates. Is there anything else I can fill you in on?

I don't believe there is a directory but it would be handy.

[ Sansa presses her lips together in consideration. ]

The only candidate I know is Jon Snow. I could tell you a bit about him if you're interested?

I'm Erik Lehnsherr and I also approve this message

No, I represent wanting to hose down rich people!

Most of them won't be here. I'd know.

It's a rather lofty goal. Are you certain they would respond to the water?

Does someone have that kind of time? Because yeah, I would. It'd be very helpful.

Welcome back?

[Just put the rest of that on pause for a moment]

Edited 2017-07-11 01:45 (UTC)

[Thank god.]

Wanda? You're glad, I think you just made my day. Where are you?

Which wouldn't be completely out of character for her. She's kind of the private type.

Thanks for the information... Mr?
