[The feed flicks on to show Roxie, curled up on her side on a narrow bed in her new one-bedroom in the Tower apartments. She's not complaining about the condition of the apartment-it's actually a step up from the one she shared with Amos in Chicago and it's certainly better than a jail cell, and here she has the benefit of solitude. No annoying husband, no guards or squabbling jailbirds.
Yeah, Roxie could get used to this. She's just been writing in her journal, but now she's noticed some funny words printed across the top. Curiously, she circles the word 'video'...whatever that is. She squints as a square appears in the page, showing...her face?!]
H-hello...? What the hell-
[There's a shuffling sound as she sits up and places the book in her lap. Cautiously, she raises a hand, though it drops just as quickly when she sees the motion echoed on the little screen.]
This-this is is screwy! This whole place is kinda screwy though, I guess.
[She waves, a little nervously.] If anyone's lookin' at this...I'm Roxie. Roxie Hart. An' I'm new around here. I'm from Chicago...which I guess ain't anywhere near here. [A little laugh.] So uhhh. Bye for now, I guess.
