[The screen is black for a long moment, though the speakers seem to be working, passing along the soothing and lovely sound of someone banging their finger against a spot too near the microphone. Finally, though, the camera blooms to life, and give those watching a great look at the massive brown eye being shoved right up against the camera. A young woman’s voice is again too close to the mic]
Honestly, whoever enchanted this thing is a master artist. I can’t even detect a hint of magic around it, and yet it seems to be working just fine. I’m not sure why they made it look like a flat brick and not a proper crystal ball or mirror is beyond me.
[She sighs, pulling back slightly to reveal a young woman with slightly pointed ears and exotic features who looks anywhere between 15 and 23]
Oh wait, right, that would require someone to become a powerful archmage without going so utterly mad that they start running around creating whatever pops into their heads. [She holds it back further and shakes her head.] At least it isn’t an owlbear.
So, am I to take it there are those out there who can hear me?

[Though if they did they'd probably have stuff like the Krampus, and it'd be real. Friggin fantasy.]
Yes, that does sound rather gross. [She bets Anomen drooled.]

[ That's entirely sensible and achievable.
Also a topic diversion, since there's nothing about that which she's applying to other people, more life in general. ]

[ She wrinkles her nose in sympathy. ]
So far the water here in the future seems okay. Uh, the water here in the Hold, that is, not really trusting what I saw out on the river.

[Downside of being from a medieval world on the cusp of the Renaissance] I'm simply fortunate the monks and my companions appreciate the value of bathing.

I bet you an find electronic books on city plumbing and sewage systems!

[ Franziska said next to nothing about them. ]
They're whole books on things like our little laptops here, the ones we talk to each other on!
