Ooh, I think I got it to work!  The little light's blinking. That's like the universal sign for 'working', isn't it? [ the young girl, clad in a quite.. quirky outfit peers at the camera on the device quizzically. ] That means I'm being recorded, right? Well, a magician has to keep up appearances, so! Hello, Citizens of Exsilium! My name's Trucy Wright, Ace Magician! Maybe you've heard of me! Or maybe you've heard of daddy, that usually seems to be the case. [ she bounces on her heels a bit. ] I don't really know what's going on, but while I'm stuck here, let's have some fun, okay?

Let's start with an icebreaker! [ Trucy holds up a deck of redbacked playing cards. She then spreads all 52 out in her hand. ] Pick a card, any card!

[what a relief! little girl, you're the first voice Simmaeri's heard on this network in days, what with everyone else unconscious and gurgling in their crazy memory tours.

she smiles, wearing an expression mixed with hope and doubt. she doesn't have enough words yet, but maybe spells with pass through the machine like they did last time. hopefully.]

Hello.

Hi! What's your name?

[ making friends is exciting!! ]

[allsongs]

[she squints a little, mouth pursed. "name" is...

yes, she knows that one now. her head dips a little.] Simmaeri.

[pantyraid]

[ That was an odd feeling she was picking up on. Trucy couldn't think of any reason asking someone for their name would warrant a reaction like that.

But it didn't really matter, so she rolled with it. ]

Nice to meet you, Simmaeri! That's a unique name.

[allsongs]

[she watches as intently as she listens, mouth quirking on one side. the cordial, bright tone...charming youth. it easily distracts her from the problem at-hand, because come on. new voices? more words? that's what she wants anyway.]

Unique name. [a note of inquiry in her voice. name, she's almost sure of, given the reception, but...]

[pantyraid]

Yeah, a really unique name! I've never heard one like it before. What country are you from?

[ she's just going to roll with it; this lady seems harmless enough, and it wouldn't be fair not to be polite just because she seems to only understand her language minimally.

At least, that's what she assumes.. ]

[allsongs]

[unique name remains a mystery, but Simmaeri is unfazed, content to listen and consider the next inquiring tone. there's a lapse as she considers the sounds, finding only a few places to fit what little she knows of the language. hm...

she shakes her head a little, smiling as she leans toward the screen.] You. [her eyebrows lift a little, inviting.] Are?

[pantyraid]

Me are? —I mean, I am! I am Trucy Wright. I'm a magician.

[ she points. ] And you're Simmaeri, right?
