[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?

[You sir, have perhaps the most impressive ears she has ever seen.] And here I thought I'd finally found some peace and quiet. [She holds back the device suddenly, as if afraid it will explode.] A machine? It...it doesn't run on turnips does it?

[She grins, she likes when people laugh. Also relief, because Turnip tech is not reliable in her experience] Thank Tymora. Electricity you say? What an odd idea.

[He presumes that Tymora is some kind of deity from the context--not one he recognizes, but that's become a matter of course.] Everything here is powered by electrical currents, as far as I can tell. My own world has only recently begun using it as a widespread power source. [pause.] I'm sure a goblin somewhere has considered turnips, however.

[Good guess, she's the Goddess of Good Fortune.]

I know of a few mages who use lightning magic magic to help power their experiments, but most of the time it's simpler to just use a spell or physical effort. [She grins] Goblins hm? Where I'm from it's Gnomes who are obsessed with them. Well, at least one Gnome in particular.
