[Caspian is sitting on his bed, poking and prodding at his tablet, which, unbeknownst to him, is actually on. He's frowning as he works at it, thoughts of his current surroundings occupying his mind. These accommodations are not what he is used to as a king, and he must admit, he finds them both spare and drab. Still, the shelter is adequate, and the bed seems comfortable enough, which is the most important thing. He understands enough to realize that luxury is at a minimum in this world, and he must not expect any comforts beyond the very basics.

He frowns again at the tablet in his hand. Despite instructions given, he really has no idea how this works, but he's keeping himself very busy trying to figure it out. When the screen flickers, he nearly drops it in surprise.]

Oh! I think... I think this is working now? Hello? I talk into this, and I see and hear people talking back, right?

Like... magic. [That's a disturbing thought. In his world, magic is not always to be trusted, especially magic items from origins unknown. So he'll treat this device with caution.]

I should introduce myself. I am Caspian X, King of Narnia. I must ask first: are there any other Narnians here?

[Caspian's not sure what he hopes to hear in answer to that question: he doesn't want to think of any of his people here, brought to this strange and harsh world, but selfishly, he would like to see a familiar face.]

Technology…you'll see a lot of it while you're here.

So technology is... more items like the tablet?

[subtlecoruscate]

Partly…but there are things like cars for transport and appliances for cooking and storing food...

[ready_to_bloom]

... all things that are new to me. I have so much to learn.

[subtlecoruscate]

…you won't be the only one in that situation…

What was Narnia like then?

[ready_to_bloom]

Not like this place. Very green. No cars or appliances or such. We have animals who talk, and all kinds of creatures, of all races. There is magic in Narnia.

This place is very different.
