[ There are a few seconds of silence at the beginning of the message. For speed - and unfamiliarity with text-type devices - Elsa has decided to speak... and yet true to form, for a good several seconds she isn't entirely sure what she should say. In fact, it's only just as the listener might start to think that nothing's going to be said at all that there's a small, throat-clearing cough from the would-be speaker. ]

Hello.

[ An audible sound of skin on skin as Elsa slaps her hand against her face. A small, embarrassed laugh follows. ]

I'm sorry. I confess I'm not entirely sure of what I wanted to say. But I thought perhaps I should send out a message here. It's a little hard to believe, but I've been here for three months now, and I've barely met a single person.

[ That's not quite true; she's met a lot of people, but it's been more in passing. Even the famously introverted former queen is starting to realize she needs more than that. ]

I'm Elsa. Most of my time has been spent practicing my magical abilities, in the hope of being able to help my loved ones back at home. But I'm trying to find a little more balance. After all, it looks like we're going to be here for a while.

So tell me: what do people do around here for fun?

[Funny, Anna was about to hit the network with the same question and some other (more or less similar) questions but... Hearing Elsa's voice there makes her forget about everything else! Aaaand an extremely excited Anna is sending her reply as a video from somewhere outside.]

If it were me?! I'd tell my location to my sister, so that she can rush there... Okay you know what, that's really oddly specific and there's tons of things to do.

[But hey, more importantly, she could have started with what she is about to say next...]

Elsa!! Where are you?!

[iskrystaller]

Anna!

[ The above word doesn't even make it into the reply, gasped out as it is as she watches her sister on her screen. For a moment, she's left to do nothing but stare at the incoming video. And when she does manage to figure out how reply in kind, there are tears in her eyes and a broad, happy smile on her lips. ]

I'm at The Red Spring right now. I come here each month—

Did you only just arrive? Where are you?

[lovesopendoors]

[Hello most beautiful woman in the world on her screen! Anna's sure she'll cry about as soon as she'll really see her in front of her, but there's a happy smile on her face too.]

Nope, I've been here for about as long as you, I think, months go so fast but I'm definitely not totally new here either.

[But Anna was looking for Elsa a little earlier this month without even knowing that she's here!]

I happen to be on my way there, actually, so dearest sister, stay where you are and I'll see you really soon, okay?

Elsa, hey! It's me, Junko. You doing good?

...Seriously you sure you're okay with me being like, casual with you like that?

[iskrystaller]

Hi, Junko. I'm doing just fine - It's nice to hear from you again!
I promise, it's okay that you speak informally. I haven't been queen for quite some time, now!

How are you? Did your weapon stop shooting bees?

[corpsewarblade]

If you're sure, then cool, it's good to hear from you too. How's your magic training been going for you?

[It was a little like dealing with Sonia, come to think of it.]

I'm okay- and yeah I've been trying to use my other magic with it and that's going better. Least I've avoided getting stung again...

So like, in terms of fun stuff to do, karaoke's pretty good fun! But of course I like going shopping for clothes and reading up on fashion trends and all that sorta stuff! I wanna try and make it big as a Fashionista here, too.

I haven't been here for very long myself, but I have enjoyed trying the different foods they have here. It's certainly a change of pace from what I'm used to.

[The fact that Yuyuko is alive again after being a ghost for so long is another change of pace, but she'd rather focus on the now.]

[iskrystaller]

What is the food like where you're from?

[ For the most part, Elsa has found the culinary fare here to be similar in spirit to what she might be able to get back at home - not that she has been particularly adventurous since her arrival! She should try eating at different establishments, she thinks. ]

Usually I spend some time painting. When I'm not practicing violin or magic.

[iskrystaller]

You paint and play violin? You must be incredibly talented.

Well, hey, congrats on taking that first big step towards meeting people! Go you!

[ Positive reinforcement! Woo! ... she doesn't realize this might sound mocking. ]

My name's Della! Della Duck! Have you given any of those quests a try? They're always amazing!

video

[iskrystaller]

[ While the words on their own might sound mocking, Della's expression gives her a hint otherwise. Besides, even if it were mocking, Elsa could hardly blame Della for it. She's sure most people wouldn't be able to spend as long a time comfortably alone as she does, and when you don't understand something...

Anyway. ]

It's nice to meet you, Della.

Admittedly, not yet. I've been practicing my magic and trying to improve my skills... but I'm feeling confident now. I actually think I'm going to try some this time.

If you didn't meet anyone for three months, how did you manage? I'd go crazy if I was alone for that long.

[iskrystaller]

[ Oh! She recognizes this man. Admittedly, it's been long enough that his name has slipped her mind, nor is she sure he'll remember her, but... she greets him with a small smile and wave anyway. ]

Perhaps it will sound strange, but I have some practice. I was isolated for a long time, growing up. You find ways to pass the time.

[notcethleann]

Hello, Elsa! My name is Flayn, and I have only just recently arrived, so I too have been excited to meet new friends and enjoy new activities. Perhaps we may discover them together, if you are amenable. I am quite sympathetic to the plight of solitude; it was my fate for quite some time, and I am so very pleased to be among so many wonderful people now!

[iskrystaller]

[ Well. There's some stuff to unpack here. But she also knows it would be impolite to go delving immediately into the other's private matters... ]

It's nice to meet you, Flayn, and I would very much appreciate some company! Even before this, I'm somewhat used to being alone, but... I suppose it's different here.

[ Being away from home makes it worse, she thinks. ]

Hello Miss Elsa.

[Just a kid here, not even going to comment on the whole not meeting people in three months. Others have covered that just fine.]

I mostly just watch people for fun around here and watch the network stuff. People post some interesting things.

oh no it's chara (♥)

[iskrystaller]

Please, just "Elsa" is fine. And may I ask your name?

[ The suggestion brings a smile to her face, even if they can't see her. ]

I should pay better attention to these devices. They're unlike anything I've ever had, so I forget to use them. But it's nice making contact with people like this.

Do you learn a lot, people-watching?

I usually play soccer or hang around with my dog. Although, I have been spending a lot more time playing some various games on my cellphone.

[He said before giving a pause.]

Those are definitely time worth wasting.

[iskrystaller]

[ For a moment, she's a little surprised. Their phones are what they're communicating on, right? Then... ]

There are games on this device?

[ Forgive her, Ken; she comes from a land far-less technology-oriented than your own - or even this one. ]

It's nice to have a friend around, isn't it? Apart from my familiar, my salamander friend has joined me here. I wonder if he and your dog could be friends too.

A pleasure to meet you, Elsa. I hope you have found the practice to be illuminating. I am Aurora.

I cannot speak for others, but I enjoy singing, dancing, and reading.

whats your idea of fun

[ Someone who's hardly met anyone for three months because they're too busy focused on their magical training? To Zuko, she seems "fun." spoilers: he's not good at fun ]

[Aw, how cute, she's shy! This woman honestly gives Makoto Ami-like vibes... which is more accurate than she thinks.]

Hi, Elsa! My name's Makoto, nice to meet you. For fun things... well, practicing with my magic or sparring is fun... but I also like cooking, baking, gardening, going shopping or having lunch or tea with friends.
