Who: John Sheppard
Username: Pegasus
Warnings: None so far!


[He’s not entirely unused to video calls, but it’s still a little weird being on earth and doing this on a network. Up to speed on the general gist of things in this world, he’s settled enough to start worrying about other things. On screen, there’s a man in what looks like some sort of vague military uniform, complete with tactical vest.]

Hi. Hello? I guess I should introduce myself—John Sheppard. Lieutenant Colonel. Air Force. I like Ferris wheels and football. Now you know everything about me.

Anyway, I figure this is the fastest, easiest way to get the word out, but I’m looking for my team. I don’t know if they made it to this world with me, but you can’t miss ‘em. They’ll be looking for me, and dressed like me, except one guy is about this tall— [He makes a gesture that shows this dude is really tall] Anyway, that’s Ronon. Teyla and Rodney would probably be with him unless we all got separated.

And on the off chance it’s just me here, well. That sucks.

While I think about how much that sucks, what does anyone do for fun around here?

“Unfortunately, it’s even odds as to whether or not anyone else from your version of the universe made it to this one. Odds more strongly against? Not as strongly as when I first got here.”

Helpful, he knows. As far as fun is concerned— “My version of fun revolves around art galleries and history exhibits, which I’m not sure is compatible with Ferris wheels and football.”

It’s not weird for you, just waking up somewhere. Why’s that?

The height describes half of the men here. [Or maybe Yelena's just pocket sized.]

It's possible your friends will appear eventually. But unless their first priority would be securing less obvious clothing and giving false names, they haven't yet.

(Oh hey look, it's an AI! Or at least, some kind of holographic avatar.

Another John? She might seem a little amused, though there's a touch of the faraway in her eyes.)

Most people arrive here alone, I'm afraid.

You sound like you're used to waking up in different worlds.

How are you settling in, Colonel?

[Oh hey, it's the other John. With a little less gunpoint this time, which Carter appreciates.]

People usually show up here by themselves, sorry.

[And yeah, it sucks a lot. Sheppard talking about his team makes him think of home which he hasn't done in a while and it's a sharp pang in his heart.]

But there's a guy here from my world, so it's not impossible.

[ An intense, purple-eyed young woman appears onscreen. She has some kind of accent, it's hard to place. ]

In this place, many come alone. Your friends did not come with you, I think.

[Sorry John, this girl doesn't know how to operate the video feature, so you're getting text with one obviously important question.]

what's a ferris wheel?

[Or well, it should be a video. Except the man's thumb is covering most of the camera. What John can make out is a one eye man of Japanese decent. A couple scars across and one down the side of his face.] You say air force like I should be impressed by that. So, is it some sort of group then? [He's guessing as the man is asking about his team.]

I mean bright side, even if your team's not here, it's not actually just you? There's tons of us. Which like, totally also sucks and no one wants to be kidnapped or whatever, but it's great for solidarity.

[ Expert emotional support on main. ]

You could probably find some football games, man. Tis the season.

What did you do for fun back home?
