[Thanks to a gorgeous, no-nonsense brunette he'd stumbled across in the hospital section of the ship, Jimmy's got the basics down for the MIDs. It'd taken him a couple tries, but you live and you learn and you sometimes fuck up. A few taps, quite a few considering the state of his prosthetic, and his face pops up on the network - curly hair styled, and a wide grin for anyone and everyone.]

Friends, the name's Jimmy. Jimmy Darling.

[He's not looking for a tour guide. He's not looking for someone to explain all these shiny metal machines or how he got to be up in the stars. No, Jimmy's looking for something else.]

Anyone from the 1950's? Heard that people round here are from all over the place. I need someone from back then to catch me up on some local news.

[Jimmy's wrapped his head around the fact that people come from different times, but alternate universes - well, that's going to take a minute.]

So if any of you good lookin' folks can point me in the right direction, i'd be mighty grateful.

[A wink. The feed ends.]

[Like she hasn't heard that one before, still, she does smile a little.]

Yeah like the flower.

[At his question, Daisy moved to lean against the wall that her bed was against.]

Well I assumed you figured out by now we're in space? And that the Earth is in fact round?

[Daisy looked to her left as if she was looking out of a window, which didn't exist in her room:]

...Actually, we aren't anywhere near Earth...

[Jimmy settles down lower against the wall, tucked in between his bed and the table next to it. His room isn't private, but this is better than nothing.]

Yeah, hard to miss all them stars around us.

[He rolls his eyes, giving her a look.]

How old do you think I am? I said the 50's, sweetheart, not that far back. Where are we then?

[morethan084]

The 50s are pretty far back for me. I'm from 2016.

[Surely that wouldn't be as much of a shock as finding out you're on a spaceship, right?]

Not really sure right now, these are planets I've never even knew existed before we've landed on them.

[As Jimmy stumbles across the audio to text function, Daisy is the first person he tries it out on.]

You've got 66 years on me. I'd ask what happened in all that time, but we might not be from the same place judgin by what everyone's said.

[morethan084]

Does Captain America ring a bell?

[If it did, then they were from the same place.]

[nofreak]

Not a bit.

[Sounds kind of silly.]

[morethan084]

Yeah. Not the same place. He was a big deal, still is.

Hopefully you find someone who's from the same universe you're from.
