You don't need to have your own guitar. The music room supplies that.

[ Where to even start... ]

We should talk.

[ filter ]

Should have said this weeks ago, but thanks.

[ Eh, so what if it's mid-winter and cold outside? It's always warm in the castle, no matter how many windows are kept open or the doors to the outside keep opening and closing. Magic, obviously. Kind of creepy, but it doesn't deter Kate from taking some time today to enjoy a nice swim in the pool. She has it all to herself right now, which is even nicer.

As usual, the journal is open at the side. ]

Seems after returning from Paris, any others who were brought here don't have any recollection of ever being in Paradisa. [ Only one, possibly. ] Doesn't make sense, but that's probably redundant.

It does seem like a shame though, when you've been here a while and then get sent home, only to be dragged back after some time. There's no guarantee on returning with your memories, so you could forget everything you've been taught or taught yourself. [ A beat. ] What would you miss?

Right. Let's hope it's just world changes. [Forgive him Kate. He doesn't know any better yet.]

It's been surprisingly tame, but always good to watch your six.

I'll be careful when they happen.

You settled in well for the most part?

I think so. I got a job and I can take care of myself. [There's a 'but' here Steve would rather keep to himself.]

Yeah? Where at?

The Lux. It's mostly just cleaning but, I like it.

What did you do back home?

I was an art student until the war started. What about you?

[ Interest piqued; ]

War?

I'd say something fancy, like criminal law or real estate, but I don't work.

Yeah. A lot of good men dying in it. [He feels a little bad not being there to do his part.]

I read in a book it's called World War II in the future.

An unfortunate effect of war.

Did you enlist?

Yeah. Took a lot longer than I expected it to though.

There were thousands and thousands of men who volunteered. It must have been one hefty list.

It was crowded every time I went. [A beat.] When are you from?

It's 2011 for me.

[A beat because what even...] That explains why you know so much about it.

Do you have flying cars by any chance? [He has to ask. They seemed really cool when Howard Stark showed them!!]

[ THE BATMOBILE FLIES NOW I THINK... fuck you DCU. ]

Maybe prototypes that developers are working on, but our cars still stick to the road.

It's the same where I come from. [Sigh. He's disappointed. :(]

The future is never what you expect.
