[There is a moment, and a click, and there is a camera that tilts from one side to another. Clearly whoever is manning the device isn't sure how it works.

There's a voice, then, a girl's voice, young and soft, and questioning, but it's not addressing the device, not yet.]


Like this?

Oh, I see, yes, thank you so very much-

[And then the camera stops moving, and settles on a girl; she's a teenager, the kind of girl who looks like she smiles often, and she does now. She's wearing a very fancy dress, the kind one sees in renaissance fairs. On the queen.]

Hello? Oh, hello!

Yes, is this right, I just speak-oh, this is magic indeed, I think!

[And someone off screen laughs, but Lucy is smiling at the camera, equally amused.]

Hello! I've been told, if I seek to make friends, and find those who may know of my country, I should speak into this queer magic box. I would also like to know how I could find a way back to my home? It's terribly important that I return before the High King think I am kidnapped, for that would be troublesome for many of the surrounding kingdoms. And I would not like it, on the besides, if my royal brother should think that I would be so foolhardy as to allow anyone to kidnap me! I am better than that, I should think, than to allow such a thing.

I would welcome any help, or any who might extend a hand of friendship towards me in this hour, please.

Yeah, they don't much care what you're supposed to be doing back home, or tons of us probably wouldn't be kidnapped either.

[She wrinkles her nose a little, not at the girl so much as the idea that they'd spare anyone an irritation.] That'd be nice, but I'm kinda cynical about this place and what we want. [A beat, and then because of the high king thing:] Guess that makes you a princess?

Multiple monarchs. [She tilts her head, nodding a little.] Guess that'd stop it from turning into absolutism. Do you know what the equivalent year might've been, to here at least?

[Because Narnia's not a country she's heard of!! Clearly that means time is different, since the girl's technological understanding seems off too.]

How many of you are there?

[She makes a thoughtful noise as she ponders how to phrase it.] Well, you don't seem familiar with this kind of tech, but not everyone's worlds have the same calender. So saying it's the early 2000s could mean nothing to some people.

Seems like an odd number might be a better balance, unless you're all usually more agreeable than not.

Did you have a year back home?

That's medieval. About a thousand years behind where you are now, here - assuming it's a similar enough calender.

At least you got that and didn't end up surrounded by multicolor aliens.

So does the youngest queen of Narnia have a name, or is it just titles?

Annabeth. Nice to meet you, welcome to - well, whichever town they set you in, I guess.

Likewise. [She half grins at the use of 'Lady,' but doesn't comment on it.] I live there too. Heropa's okay, but fair warning it gets pretty hot and humid. It's got a cool library, if you're into that sort of thing.

[She sends a ping for the address.] Just don't get locked in when it closes.
