[There’s a finger tapping at the screen a bit, then a soft laugh of victory]
Haha, knew I could get it t’work.
[A blur of red as the figure of Merida comes into view. Seems like the princess has been figuring how to work this thing for most of the morning—and been watching the various other videos and messages zipping by all day.]
I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Merida, first born descendant of clan DunBroch. [There's a hitch of pride in her shoulders, it doesn't matter where, when, or WHY she is anywhere-- she will always wear her name with pride.] I guess y'could say I'm new here, though th'-- kedan, as they were, were very helpful in explainin' most everythin'. That we’re all stuck here, no way out, etcetera, etcetera.
[Then the camera switches directions and you’ll notice it firmly pointed at a toilet.]
But what is this—and why is it in th’bathroom?
[…They don’t exactly have indoor plumbing in DunBroch. Or porcelain toilets. The kedan told her about it, that doesn't mean she recognizes it quite yet.
But wait! There's MORE.]
Also, what is this I hear about a celebration goin' on? I haven't really found my way around yet.

About th'festival. D'y'have any idea of what it's all about? Or is it just a celebration for celebration's sake?

[She shrugs]
Oh well, food and drink is never a bad thing. Especially now that I have t'get a job, apparently.
[Not that Merida's opposed to work, she's just never had a job outside of preparing to be queen.]

[She figures she should at least get a taste for her new home, before she is faced with it bluntly and straight on.]

[A sentence she never thought she'd have to say.]
Well, I've eaten haggis my entire life, so I can get by on bad food.
[Though, she's never really had to live through a food shortage. That will be a first.]
no subject
[Not many people do.]
What's a haggis?
[It sounds like something you'd chase through a field with a club in your hand.]
no subject
[About as appetizing as it sounds.]

no subject
Never mind, I don't think I want t'know.
no subject
[She told you anyway because if she has to eat it then other's should share in her suffering.]
no subject
Eugh. Who would ever eat that? I guess if y'have nothin' else. But I'd almost rather eat grass.

[....]
Do they have that here?
[PLEASE SAY NO.]
no subject
[Wellll....]
We're surrounded by ocean, but I haven't seen any if that helps! Sure helps me anyway.
[BEST SHE CAN DO.]
no subject
Well, at least I won't have that t'worry about!
[She is now free to conquer the rest of the world.]
