[It doesn’t take Sieglinde very long to decide that she doesn’t like these ‘smartphones’ all that much. The idea of talking to all of these people over such a long distance is an undoubtedly novel one – and surely a concept with many practical uses.
But it feels like someone is always saying something on the network, and the phone she’d been given requires its user’s bare fingertips in order to work. Which means that she needs to remove her gauntlet, in order to unlock the bloody thing.
It’s a little frustrating, is all she’s saying. That, combined with the fact that she still hasn’t figured out all of the gadget’s quirks, has somewhat soured her mood on them – even if they clearly have their uses.]
Erm, yes. Hello? Is this working? I've never made one of these before...
[It takes a moment of fiddling with the gadget before the camera settles on a rather rotund set of armor sitting within the camera's view. If one looks closely, they can see Sieglinde's eyes through the visor, although little else of her face is visible. ]
Ah, there. I think I’ve got it. Greetings! I'm called Sieglinde of Catarina, and it is good to meet you all. Or as good as it can be, given the circumstances.
I was brought to this place by mistake, you see. The good folk of Riverview have promised to return me as soon as they are able, but until then I am holding out hope that my father will stumble into the same sort of portal that I did, and ends up here as well.
I beg of you, if any of you meet him here, please let me know. He is quite hard to miss – he wears the same sort of armor as I do, he has a moustache, and answers to the name Siegmeyer.
[A pause.]
And please, if you find him, ask him to stay put in the Guard Barracks until I return. I'll be away on a mission for a few days, and he has such a tendency to wander off on his own...

@2b
[2B holds her phone at an awkward, high angle, but unlike the knight of Catarina she doesn't seem to mind using it in the slightest.
For a moment it seems like that's it from her side, but no. Her lips move wordlessly as she ponders a question, before finally speaking it out loud.]
Do you think it's likely two people from the same place could end up here?
no subject
[She cocks her head to the side at the question.]
I don't see why not. It must easier for more than one person to take the same path here, than for so many to show up following no pattern at all.
[That being said: She hasn't even the slightest clue about how interdimensional portals work.]
no subject
[Not the one to say a lot, 2B nevertheless sounds reassured for some reason.]
Ah! There's one more thing.
no subject
Ask away!
[She's an open book, for the most part.]
no subject
[She smiles slightly.]
Just 2B is fine.
no subject
Oh, well, if you're certain. 2B it is.
no subject
If I find your father, I'll let you know immediately.
Well, then.
[She sounds a bit awkward, not sure what else to say.]
2B out.
