Oh-- Christ, sorry, you ain't used to this. Er, I read what you wrote-- but look, I ain't the book. My name's Jack Kelly, I'm another person caught here. There's hundreds o' us. And I can hear you talkin' now, so don't say anythin' you don't want the city to hear.
No, we can see what you're writing. Some work just like journals. I know a girl who had her sketchpad, for an NV. It's magic and it's some kind of data-thing too?
And yep! It's July 4th. There's going to be a picnic and more fireworks down by the lake before siren, so you're not late. And you'll get to meet other newcomers.
[Lord, everyone is going to scare this poor girl with talking from a book.]
It allows them to see what you're writing, to hear you when you talk, and it should also be able to perform a video function, which means you can see people while you talk to them. Perhaps you should try them out, just to get a feel for them all.
[Pauses.] And yes, it is July 4th, 2011. It can be hard to get used to, especially if it's a different year for you back home.
I'm from [Late 80s/early 90s date goes here because specific canon dates, what are those.] And I'm originally from Germany, not Canada. But...maybe not the Germany in this world. I don't know.

Anyway, you ain't this time, believe me. It's really July 4th, 2011, and you're really here in Canada.

...It can talk?
[She almost goes for her blade. Almost. She peers curiously at it, examining the pages.]
You heard me speaking?

Hundreds? So this... This really isn't a dream, then. It's real.

...Magic?
[Come now, Alice. If you can bring your blade with you to this...new dream, or whatever it is, then you can certainly believe in magic, can't you?]
I'm sorry, I don't...think I understand. What is everyone celebrating?

So it really is like magic. How peculiar...
[She pauses.]
It's...1875 back home.

[She switches to the video function so that she can see her face.]
Like I said, it does depend on your NV, but it should have the three basic functions, no matter what it may look like.
[Nods.] And that would be... London, from your accent? You have a lot you'll need to catch up on, then.

Perhaps I'll take a look at it later. I wasn't aware my voice would simply carry!
[She nods.]
It seems so. I was nearly hit by a car this morning!
