It works like a mobile phone. You can make voice and video call or send messages in text or quill mode.

[He's not particularly interested with new arrivals after seeing them turn up every month. He's only answering her question while he's taking a rest from making notes of new discoveries.]

I see, thank you.

Is there perhaps a map of the school available? I would hate to get lost.

There's no map. You will have to try remembering your way.

Be careful of moving stairs.

Moving stairs? Escalators?

[ social links with all the girls! I mean, he goes ahead and uses video, since it seems best to introduce oneself face to face. Besides, if she has any questions that are easier answered with showing than telling, this will make things straightforward. For her reference, he's currently sitting in the Gryffindor common room, in one of the comfy chairs there. Some of the red and gold draperies and whatnot are likely visible behind him.]

Since you just woke up here, so I suppose I ought to say, 'Welcome to Hogwarts.'

My name is Minato Arisato. If you have any questions, I can do my best to answer, though I have only been here about a month myself.

[Unfortunately Nunnally doesn't turn her own video feed on, since she hasn't managed to get the uniform figured out yet and it simply wouldn't be proper to let a stranger see her not fully dressed. So she'll stick with voice for the moment, although one doesn't need to see it to hear the warm smile in her voice.]

Thank you very much.

Is it not unusual for new people to arrive here?

[ He doesn't blame her for not using video right away, even if he does. After all, he does know someone who showed up in swim trunks and nothing else... But it is nice to hear how warm she sounds. ]

Not recently, no. I've been told new people generally show up in the middle of every month.

Oh? That's interesting to hear. I assume, then, that others arrive without warning, as I did?

[The innocent laughter caught the Unicorn's attention and she glanced at her Commuter. Since the question had been so polite, she decided it would be worth it to answer the girl. She moved to fill the screen, shining white coat and mane set off against the dark green forest behind her, deep purple eyes curious.]

I believe most of us came here without warning, though I cannot speak for everyone.

[The rest of this already seemed like some kind of story, and now this? This is even more so. Nunnally gives a soft "oh!" of surprise at the sight of something that seems to have walked directly out of a fairy tale and then spoke to her, lifting a hand to her mouth as though belatedly trying to prevent the sound from escaping.]

You... you're not from here?

[The Unicorn shook her head, her mane rippling and shining in the diffuse light of the Forest.]

I am not. I was brought here like the others. And though I have seen other unicorns here, they are not like me.

[There was hint of sadness in her voice. Once before she'd been the only one of her kind. It was lonely.]

You are a unicorn then? I... forgive me, I always thought they were only imaginary, though I was clearly mistaken.
