[ Elizabeth doesn't look any different than when she was here three months ago, confidence with the network system and nervous concern otherwise. ]

It's really been three months? It feels more like I had a very refreshing nap, not disappeared! I know others told me this happened sometimes, but to actually experience it-- well, that's the same as anything, isn't it? It's always different in person!

Mr Klaus, I'm very sorry for unintentionally abandoning my job at the Hotel, and Mme. Eliyen, for leaving my post at the Guild without due notice.

[ She knows she couldn't have provided it, but she feels bad about it anyway. ]

Goodness but it's warm here... is this an actual heatwave? Columbia wasn't prone to these, being airborne.

[ Elizabeth holds the new handset up, still marveling at the technology, but getting right to the point. ]

Excuse me Foreigners, I have a request to make. I've been told that there are those here who might be able to teach runes -- or other magics -- to others. Most unfortunately, I've had a young woman named Sonja attempting to obscure who that might be, so I'm making the appeal directly.

If there are people who are indeed capable of sharing these remarkable abilities, and who might be willing to discuss the possibility with me, please let me know. If you'd prefer to meet in person, I can meet you anywhere you'd like.

I've been thinking and writing some things down, and something I've wanted to ask...

What would you consider very... mm, 'defining' I suppose is the word I'm looking for? Something that you feel your reality wouldn't be the same without. Don't worry, I'll go first.

[ She flashes a knowing smile at that. ]

Certainly, there are certainly many historical events that shaped the world, but if I had to pick one that's affective to Columbia in my era would be the discovery a few decades ago of the Lutece Particle, which in turn is used to make a Lutuce Field. Another term for it is called 'quantum levitation', and it suspends atoms in mid-air by a controllable field, allowing things to be manipulated within the sphere of gravity, and to impart those effects onto other objects.

[ Someone's read The Principles of Quantum Mechanics a few too many times... ]

And that's how Columbia is an airborne city. So, I think things in my reality would be very different if that hadn't been discovered!

[ Elizabeth is clearly excited by the video feed as it turns on, leaning forward toward the screen. ]

This device is so clever! It's like a voxphone and a kinetoscope put together. Miss Zatanna at the Welcome Center helped get me a bit more familiar with it, but do let me know if I've gotten anything wrong.

Now, this might not be Paris, but it still looks like it will be quite the adventure. In any case, I'm here now, and I intend to make the most of it... my name is Elizabeth.

But I do have a question... is there any way to be positively sure that time has actually stopped, where we're from? I was traveling with someone and, while he certainly wouldn't admit it, I believe he'd be quite upset to find I've disappeared.

[ She offers a smile, which then tinges into something of a grimace. ]

Or more to the point, I believe he'd act quite rashly... since he doesn't always think before he acts, though he means well. Mostly-- I think.

I've been told there are job openings in the city. I don't have any formal training in... well, anything... but I'm very good at picking new things up very quickly if given the chance!
