[Elizabeth looks rather frazzled, and paying not attention in the slightest to what is going on around her. She doesn't even seem to be aware that she is being filmed through her open dorm door. Instead she's clutching a sheet to her like grim death. No, this is not alright. None of this is alright. Waking up in this place was purely awful.]

Lady Kat? Walsingham? Lord Burghley?

[as far as she knows, she's talking to an empty room. She doesn't want to move to far because this... this thing is not clothing. She cannot go out like this. As a woman she might rule alone, but she was used to people, used to her ladies being only a room away -- and her guards. But as far as she could tell no one was coming. Sitting on her bed, in the small room that certainly wasn't what she was used to, she drew her knees up to her chest.]

Anyone... at all? [she sighs, grumbling under her breath. Not so much scared as... frustrated and overwhelmed. This felt like being in the tower all over again just... cleaner.]

[Blink, blink. April watches the woman for a few moments, before she speaks up.]

... Hello? Do you need any help?

[Elizabeth looks around alarmed at the voice. She can't tell where it's come from, and it certainly isn't her room. Getting off the bed, she took the sheet with her. Wrapped up in it rather than... whatever this was.]

My lady...? [it was a woman she heard, someone at least. That was better than sitting in her room empty.]

Ah, hello! Um... [Let's see, April has no clue if she would know what a terminal is, so best to explain this in a different way.] ... Look for a device that has a moving picture, in the hallway. I'm talking to you from there.

[She keeps going until she finds.

Well a moving picture. She's a woman whose seen only of court after all. Seen many, many beautiful things at court too. But she's never seen this -- and for a moment she stares.] How... how are you -- what devilry is this?

[April gives her a small, sheepish smile.] It's not, um, devilry... It's a device, which allows people to talk to each other if they're not in the same area.

[She can't help but touch, it's too unreal.]

But I can see your face, clearer than a portrait. Your voice. How do you make letters speak?

It's, ah... A bit hard to explain from here, but it's all to do with electricity and technology... [Pause as she tilts her head.]

...Um, is it okay if I go and meet you where you are?
