A girl's face appears on screen. Her expression is serious and despite her attempts to hide it, it is clear that she is scared. Far from panicking though
One, two, three, testing... oh, it seems that this device works. I assume it is connected to a network of some sort.
A few beeps are heard as she presses some buttons. She starts muttering to

...what exactly do you mean by stuck? Is it somehow related to the time machine? And what exactly is Adstringendum?
[Her voice is a bit too shaky for her preference but she can't really help it, it's not your typical everyday situation she found herself in. Well, at least there are other people that can actually be contacted. That was reassuring.]
My name is Makise Kurisu. It's a pleasure to meet you...

It's nice to meet you Makise.

Things in charge? Can you elaborate on that, please?

...well, I guess I've heard weirder things... or at least had a comparable level of weirdness. Who am I talking to if I may ask?
[Not that a name would tell her anything but it might compensate for the lack of face.]

Hope Estheim. Uh, I've also arrived just recently.

There are many people here, Lady. It is a place called Adstringendum, and it is most unique. You have only just arrived, I assume?
[She curtsies.]
I am Juliet Montague. Have you any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

Yes, I've only been here for a short time and I'm unsure what I should do. I've been told that it's like a gathering of inhabitants from other dimensions...
[Wait, tere is one thing that would be good to know.]
I have one question... Where should I go to actually meet people instead of talking to them through this device?

[She nods.]
That is what I have been told as well. I will admit to it making little sense - the idea of other dimensions - at least at first. But my time here has proved most educational in that regard. There are many here from all across time, and across the vastness of the heavens.
[And smiles.]
Those who live in this city are everywhere! No matter which section in which you wander, you are likely to find someone with whom to speak in person. My cousin and I live in the northeast section, just below the river, in a place which has pumps indoors for water.
[This is big for her. Seriously.]
They do not always work well, but it is more convenient than having to carry buckets to the river every time one needs to cook or bathe.

Thank you, miss Juliet... I should just go and check if I can meet someone...

Well, I do have some experience with constructing time machines if that's what you are asking for...
[Wait, she shouldn't be talking about this so casually. Oh well, too late now]
I believe I'm starting to put things together but if you can offer a more detailed explanation, I'll be sure to listen.

I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. What's your name, gorgeous?~

I'm Makise Kurisu. Uh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ryoji... As you can see, I'm new to this whole city with people from differents worlds business...
Reply
Kurisu-chan, then~ It's a pleasure to meet you as well! And please, simply call me Ryoji.
Yes, I arrived here not that long ago myself. Do you need a hand with anything?

Well, actually... I'm looking for a place to stay. I've already asked Hope if there's a way to arrange this but I guess it wouldn't hurt to mention this to more people...
[That guy probably just may have flirted with her. Under normal circumstances she probably would be more cautious but being stranded in an unknown world did not fall under normal circumstances. Come to think of this, he seemed hather nice and he was around her age. That Ryoji wouldn't hurt her, would he?]
