[ there is half a second of what looks like a ceiling, and then a quiet oh crapsticks before it's tilted, very quickly, downwards. ]

Alright, so Cape- Can I call you cape? We're not even on a beach anymore, which totally sucks since I was just getting used to this whole idea of Cape Constant Nightmare. I even made t-shirts.

[ cue exasperated sigh and overly dramatic eye roll. ]

Also, just for the record, when I agreed to go to Oz I did not sign up to come back here. Wherever here ends up...being. [ charlie loses a little steam, here, looking around her in every direction the camera can't see. she's fidgeting a little, mostly because she's in some creepy room all by herself. totally normal. completely normal. one hundred percent- ]

Not that I mind the redecorating - it's got a great Tomb Raider meets first Terminator vibe - but uh. What the frick, guys? Just. What the frick. Anyone want to give me the sparknotes version before I go completely insane? Yes? Maybe? IDK?


PRIVATE to DEAN WINCHESTER, SAM WINCHESTER, JO HARVELLE, ELLEN HARVELLE, ANITA BLAKE, FORTESCUE, and ALEC MCDOWELL

Guess whose back, bitches.

[ vulcan salute, then charlie out. ]

When you say hunter, why do I get the feeling you don't mean in the safari sense?

[He's new to this. And the idea that Dorothy with her red slippers might be a true story is something that's beyond him. But then again so were aliens right until the moment he found himself face to face with one.]

Re: [Video]

Yeah no, definitely more of the demons and vampires and werewolves kind.

[ a beat, and then it kind of dawns on her that she shouldn't have said that, and she kind of cringes. ]

Though, uh, it's probably top secret stuff. Maybe. [ #nailedit ]

Classified?

[Steve sounds amused. He actually wouldn't put it past SHIELD to have a division just for this kind of thing. If this kind of thing was real. He's not sure it is.]

[Video]

[intraining]

Totally.

[ did that sound legit? she hopes so. even if her really awkward smile and nod combo doesn't come off as such. ]

Like, super red stamp classified.

[Steve hums and nods.]

I see. And you're...?

[intraining]

Charlie. Bradbury. [ wait she didn't do that right- ] Charlie Bradbury.

[ close enough. ]

You?

[Video]

[oldfashionedhero]

[She certainly doesn't look like any Charlie he's met, but he thinks it would be rude to say so.]

Steve Rogers. Do you have any idea why you're here, Agent Bradbury?

[intraining]

[ it's the hair, isn't it. she knew she should have gone for the brighter red. ]

You mean besides surviving? [ but whoa, agent bradbury. that was hella cool. ] Do you?

[Video]

[oldfashionedhero]

No. It's not getting clearer either.

[intraining]

See, that's half our problem.

[ there is probably a lot of hand-movements going on here that come with explanations and theories and all sorts of other things, but there's no real way to tell. charlie's just going to word-vomit a little. ]

I dunno if you got it, but when I first showed up we got this recording. Very Survivor-esque. Welcome to Cape Kore, here's this and here's that. Makes it out to be some kind of reality TV show. And when I got here, we were in a totally different place and things happened like, all the time. Kind of like episodes? Or- quests. Missions. Events.

They called the big-bads "scientists", like it was a social experiment thing? But if we're, for the sake of the metaphor, experiment subjects then you'd think something else would be happening, right?

[oldfashionedhero]

[She's speaking quickly enough and throwing out things that Steve is only peripherally aware of at best, but he thinks he's following her line of thinking and she has a point.]

So you're thinking there's something already going on?

[Video]

[intraining]

Bingo.

[ oh hey that was cool. she feels ten times more legit now. ]

That, or something already happened. But to them, not us.
