Video: @ Ms.E. Bennet

[wit_and_sword]

[The feed shows Elizabeth in the dining room of her apartment. She's tried to make the place as hospitable as possible with the several bits of framed artwork or decorative pieces, but the furniture is still the same basic design as when she arrived.

Furniture aside, she looks almost torn, certainly embarrassed by what she was about to say.] Hello, my name is Elizabeth Bennet.[She really hoped she was using this properly and not looking more like a fool than she already felt.] Is there anyone willing to teach skills in cookery? Back in my own world, I do have a basic understanding of what goes on in the kitchen, but these appliances are unknown to me. For the time being, I have been going 'out' to eat, but it is becoming silly that I have these things and no the understanding of how to use them properly.

[The last thing she wished to do was burn down the building because she had accidentally set something too high on the heat.]

Madam [Of course, she knows the woman from training, knows her name, but even so, the form of address is both polite and irritable.] You are assuming I come from a time that has harnessed electricity for domestic use, and has the means of conducting radiation for cooking. I can assure you that neither is the case.

["Madam" she says. That's almost as bad as that guy who called her "my lady", ugh.]

Wasn't assuming -- it seemed like someone else was giving you info on that part. Just didn't want to have to repeat shit you already know.

[She noted the woman's reaction and smirked. Of course, such a form of address would cause her to respond in that manner, but it was what she was hoping for.] You are being generous with the term. It is true, someone agreed to teach me, but this is...very much a learning curve, as they say.

[circumitus]

Sounds like it, if basic housing appliances seem alien to you. [Rey, no, das rude.] Guess you're not the only one around here who has learning curves to get around.
