Video | Both Courts

[starspangled]

Looks like we're getting the new arrivals again. My name's Steve Rogers, sorry I missed the feast. I should probably start by telling you that it doesn't matter which court drafted you into this war, and that it's not some shard inside of you that makes you important. But I think a lot of us already know that.

Another thing that I've learned is that you can get so focused on this world, you start to lose touch with the little things that you love about your own.

[The subject that he's about to bring up is also full of jubilation and heartbreak, love and victory and loss. And in some cases, betrayal.

He's looking at you, Dodgers.]

For me it's baseball. Does anyone else play? Because I couldn't help but notice that there's plenty of field around here. Maybe in the spring we could find a couple of bats, or even just toss a ball around for a little R and R.

See, the thing I love about baseball is that both sides get a fair shot. Everyone on the team wears the same uniform, from the manager to the rookie, and it's not over until the last out. It's for everyone, doesn't matter if you're a little bit smaller than the other players. If you can swing a bat or throw a ball, you might just make the hall of fame. It's about hope.

Plus it's a heck of a lot more fun than fighting.

[He gives a slightly sheepish smile when he's done, because Captain America waxing poetic about America's pastime, where's his handful of apple pie.]

So I guess all I really wanted to say is don't forget where you came from. You can even share what you miss about it, if you want. I'm not really much of a hunter, so I've got the time.

This place reminds me of my home as it was many many years ago. The people here still hold reverence for the likes of kings, knights, and heroes and seem to uphold the values of old as well. As a person who has seen two era separated by a thousand or more years of time, I cannot honestly say which I prefer.

I do know this, however, it does feel good to once more be able to act and live as a knight and do everything that comes with the tile.

I know of one other knight here - Lancelot. He's a good man. Strong fighter, too.

[hiddeninfidelity]

That is a name I did not think I would ever hear again.

[Mordred gritted her teeth a bit below her helmet. First her father and now the Knight of the Lake? This was beginning to get silly.]

It would seem that this place is rather fond of those of the knightly order.

[starspangled]

It sure seems like it. [Steve's brows draw together at what she said before that though, her reaction to that name.] You know him?

[hiddeninfidelity]

Of course, he was a knight of some renown in my time. Everyone knew his name, from we of the knighthood all the way to the peasantry. It would be stranger still if one did not know of him.

[starspangled]

I see. Well, the good news is, here's your chance to catch up.

[hiddeninfidelity]

In time, of course. I imagine I have more pressing matters to attend to then chatting with an old acquaintance.
