[Click, tap, click, KKRRRRRRKT, that's definitely the sound of someone fiddling with their jPad. Do they realize it's on? Are they - yup! There, fingers on the camera lens. Wow those are pretty bony fingers - wait, are those made of wood? A soft voice mutters, slightly muffled by what's probably a hand on the speaker.]

Ah, I think that's it? It's doing...

[Finally, a hand moves, and there's a young woman's face, peering down at the camera with a look of curiosity and concentration.]

Yes, the light's on. I think that means it's working. Hello? ...hmm...

[Clearly she's a bit unfamiliar with the device. She also almost camouflages with the tree behind her, almost as if she's a tree herself. Still, she seems to be learning her way around, poking experimentally around the screen. Suddenly she has a ring of flowers across her hairline - does that count as hair? She lets out of soft "oh!" of surprise, then laughs in delight.]

How charming!

[Oh. Oh her word. Is that...]

G-greetings, miss. If you were attempting to communicate with the other devices here, I'm pleased to tell you you've succeeded.

My name is Martel Yggdrasill. And I... I know this is a bit sudden, but I have a question to ask of you, if you wouldn't mind.

Urgh. If there's another iteration of the damned sun, I'll--

[ Fordola begins, before. Right. Needs to be polite. And, uh. ]

That is sorta charming, yeah.

[ here is a woman peering at her own screen, face and expression mostly hidden by the giant snake skull covering them but her eyes visibly wide. ]

That is very cute ... how did you do it?

[whisted]

[She seems fine. She definitely seems fine.

But people fading into trees is a thing he knows, and it's a thing that usually means panic.]

--everything okay?

Kibeep!

[The pad quickly translates that to a [Hello!] [Although even without the benefit of translation it's pretty obvious that it was a chirped greeting.]

Beekibi deebeep digi kidibeep! [I like your flowers!]

[Already being familiar with the concept of other worlds even before she came here, Celia honestly doesn't have any questions about how Melanthieae looks like she's part tree, or maybe an actual sentient tree, reasoning to herself that the woman is likely her own world's form of nature spirit or something similar. Celia herself is her own world's form of wind elemental, so if anything, the dryad's presence is something of a slightly-familiar one, even if they've never met before.

The girl already has some familiarity with how this sort of thing works, too; the last communication device she'd used was more or less a magic rock, but the jPad honestly doesn't seem to be too much different otherwise. However, familiarity with how it works doesn't necessarily mean that she immediately identifies what's what, and so she doesn't realize that the camera is way too close to her face when she responds:]

Hello! Yep, it's working!

I'm gonna guess that you've never seen somethin' like it before. It's kinda neat, isn't it?
