[There's a cough, and someone starts talking. She sounds young, but she's speaking very loudly. It's almost like she's never spoken into a microphone of any kind before! She's clearly a very practiced speaker, though.]

I am Princess Elodie of the Kingdom of Nova. I am not sure where I am or what most of the information given to me means, but I at the very least can gather I am no longer anywhere near my home. There seem to be some very strange politics going about here, but I was recommended to introduce myself anyway by my, ah... what are you, again?

A Lucemon, Elodie. And if you'd like, you can turn on the camera function like this and I'll hold it for you...

[There's some jostling about and then the feed switches to video. Elodie is a young girl, not even fifteen, with nice princessy pink hair and... a military jacket. Oh.]

That should do it!

Yes, of course. [She very consciously hardens and straightens herself out, because princess stuff is serious business!!!] At any rate, I feel it only right to ask for further information on this world and whether or not any other resident of Nova has found their way here. My aid is available, if you should need it promised in return. Not much else to do here that I'm familiar with, really.

[Don't mind the squinting, Elodie. He's just never seen anyone quite like you before.]

Uh...how old are ya, kid.

Just curious.

Fourteen. I'll inherit the throne when I reach fifteen. Why?

...No 'ffense, kid, but--

Thought ya had to be at least this high to go on that ride.

[That hand, it's going up to his own forehead.]

It's the minimum age. Mother died, so I have to or the kingdom will... well, all sorts of bad things could happen without a ruler, right?

...A...mother.

[The way he says it is almost foreign]

So the one that...made you. If I got that right. And cause she was head, now you take head just like that?

Yes. I was training to be queen when I came here.

...

[There's a shrug.]

Works for me. So. Take it ya got the low-down on the basics.

I'm learning. This place is very different from Nova.

...Yeah, that's one way to put it.

[He'd have other words to describe it. Most of them cursing.]

You're probably gonna get hurt sometime. Be prepared for that.

[She frowns and looks down, which is an icon I have not yet made for some reason]

Not entirely different from Nova, then. I see.

That your...uh...

thing? World?

[There we go. You CAN English, Wheeljack, if you try!]

Yes. My kingdom.

Well, best advice I can give ya is to be nice to your Digithings. They're your ace in this place.

My ace?

He means I'm here to protect you.

Ah, yes. That.

You got it.

They know more about this place than any of us too, so take advantage of it.

What do you want to know?

If only I knew where to start. So much of it looks like magic, but I haven't seen any Lumen, and in all very little of anything here makes sense. I suppose it may just be more advanced than Nova, but... [She doesn't even know what the word digital means, man]

Oh... Well, it's not magic for one. Magic doesn't work here, nor do any other powers anyone could have had. You might be right that it's probably just more advanced that your homeworld. What's the most advanced piece of technology you know of?

Hm. Someone came to the palace requesting funding for something called a printing press a few weeks ago.

[Man, if she hadn't had Lucemon to help with the culture shock........]

... Oh. That's... That's a very big gap, yeah...
