For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Steve Rogers. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet many of you at the feast. Things came up, but I at least wanted to introduce myself.
[For reasons, curiosity. Maybe he's a limited edition but he's definitely not one of a kind.]
I also wanted to talk about something else. Some of you might remember Sam Wilson - in fact, if you ever met him, I'm willing to bet that you do. Sam served two tours in the military, so he could definitely hold his own in a fight. But what he really loved to do was help people. My entire world had turned its back on me, and Sam took me in, made me bacon and eggs. That's the kind of friend I hope to be to anyone who'd call me one.
[Emphasis on 'anyone'.]
Sam's gone now, but he started working on something before he left. It's a clinic, he called it The Nest. There's some medicine and stuff there, but it was more than that. It was a place for people to come if they just needed to talk, or if they needed to rest. I never realized it before, but sometimes in a war people need that as much as they need bandaging up.
[Steve pauses there to take deep breath. Here comes the hard part.]
This is my friend's legacy, and I've tried to keep it afloat. The problem is, I don't know how. And it's hard for me to ask for help sometimes.
[He can barely even maintain eye contact. But the same thing keeps going through his head, fuels him on: for Sam.]
But if you have anything to offer...if you have medical knowledge or if you're just a good listener, even if you want somewhere else to stay. There's a place for you here.
I guess that's it. Again, welcome, and try to watch yourselves out there.

Things would be too simple if answers were easy to come by. [ it seems they're being kept in the dark about some of the finer details, then.
anyway. ]
I'd offer help with the medical side, but I arrived here without my Cure Materia. [ as if that explains it. he hesitates before adding; ] I still know how to wrap up a cut or two. [ just the good old fashioned way. thank you basic military training. ]

[He's gotten used to thinks like that, traded the technology of his world for the magic of this one and others. It's a pretty even trade as far as he's concerned.]

Mm. Materia grants its user the ability to cast spells. Depending on the level of the Materia, the stronger the spell. That includes cure and remedy spells. [ so mighty useful in this situation, if he were to get his hands on any. ]

[He always feels a little bad for the whole "20 questions" game, but he can't think of a better way of getting to know people, at least at first.
And speaking of.]
I don't think I caught your name.

And no. [ first time he's been called that, but new land, new rules. ] Anyone can learn to use it. [ with a bit of practice, it's just like any other weapon or item. ]
video ; private.
[Steve's definitely learned things that he couldn't do on his own world.]
Did you arrive with any of it?
video ; private.
No. [ he seems a hint apologetic about that. ] But with people from all over... There is a chance someone here might have some. I can ask, and let you know.

The faeries did bring me all this way... Might as well try and keep in shape.
