[The angle is all wrong, more ceiling and wall than face, but what little there is of it looks...tired. He's tired. He's clearly bad at this, learning curve and all that, but it's better than the last time. Last time there were hands and legs and cement and sky. It seems Steve starts to realize the angle is wrong as well because his face comes fully into view.]
I hope this is on. [Because his sanity is feeling very thin these days. Talking to himself might just break him. He is still pretty certain, future or not, there shouldn't be dinosaurs in the middle of a city. He's found a place that had enough furniture and a working heater but no sign of people ever having lived there. He's wishing he had a gun, but he guesses that's penance for blowing himself up.]
My name is Steve Trevor. American Expeditionary Forces. I've been here a couple of days, is it, uh, normally this hard to leave the city?
[Cities are great. They're even better when you can leave.]

Not...exactly? Not here, at least. You're just from a time further in the past than I expected.
no subject
Why? When did you think I was from?
[He's not so secretly amused by her response.]
no subject
One of the great wars but not sure which one.
[She gives a shrug of her shoulders]
I uh...wasn't a big history fan when I was in school. I learned it but didn't pay attention too much.
no subject
Also-]
Wait, one of them?
no subject
[Watch as she backtracks a little]
Uh, right. That...I'm from a different Earth than yours? So there might only have been one great war.
no subject
He will lie to almost anyone until he's blue in his face, but not to himself. Something about him has to be real.
He's got enough social awareness to notice she doesn't want to keep talking about it.]
There's more than one Earth?
no subject
[Wince. Facepalm.]
Sorry! I...uh...it's-it's complicated? Science has definitely grown by leaps and bounds between 1918 and when I'm from.
no subject
Out of curiosity, how many Earths are there exactly?
no subject
Are you sure you want to know?
no subject
no subject
...Fifty three.
[she briefly wonders if they would go back to their homes with memories in tact.]
no subject
[He's trying to hide how mind-blowing that kind of revelation is. How successful he is, is up for debate?]
no subject
Fifty three that we know of right now. There might be more that we don't know more about. Possibilities are endless.
no subject
[Also, he wonders if she thought he forgot his question about Gideon or was hoping he'd let it rest.]
no subject
Is that, uh, common knowledge or...?
