[The camera on Shuri's phone flips on, and she centers it on her face, flashing a quick grin. She looks like a teenage girl, her hair up in a bun and her clothes futuristic and fashionable, and her accent sounding like this.]

I suppose I can deal with a - [She uses finger quotes around this word.] - "smart" phone for now, but it seems like your phone shouldn't have to bring up its intelligence, like it's compensating for something.

[Okay, she'll stop. She gets serious.]

Anyway, this is probably the weirdest thing that's happened to me. And that's saying something. I can tell you, I am incredibly unhappy. [She points at the camera with a frown.] It's a stupid move to kidnap a princess. Just saying.

But I will do my part. First, I have questions. What are the modes of transportation here? Are there any companies or labs that work with technology? And is it required to go to school if you're a very mature teen? Asking for a friend.

[A pause, and then:] Also, message me if the word 'vibranium' means something to you. Or the name 'T'Challa'.

I find many enjoy compensating for failings.

[Sarcasm aside, and despite the sweat and dirt on his face, along with a stubborn leaf in his hair, he opts to be helpful.]

I have yet to see requirements for school here, and I believe most of your other questions can be answered in Nova City. By and large, other than the gates..or was it archways they were called... Most of the travel is done by walking. I think they have more modern means in Nova City, and perhaps in Genessia.

It's not required to go to school if you're of working age. I know I haven't at least. Although there some jobs that require a higher education, there are some that don't.

Nobody's coming to rescue you. Princess or not.

[There's a person, not much older than her, with golden fur all over his body and two big ears on the top of his head. It pretty much makes it obvious that he's not human.]

I thought they were just called that because it sounded cool. Are there dumb phones? We don't have this kind of tech in my world.

We all got kidnapped, we don't know what or who brought us here or how to get back. It's actually not so bad. We have public transport like buses and trains. There are hoover cars in Nova City and most of the labs are also in that city.

You don't have to go to school if you don't want to, most children here that come from other world don't go.

Vibranium sounds like some sort of music group. What is it?

Don't know the answers to your questions, unfortunately, but yeah, the kidnapping stuff's weird.

Also, grab the brochures, they're pretty helpful.

[Hikari didn't have many answers to the question that came over the public network. But this one, at least, she had some prior experience with.]

No one is required to go to school here, actually. Regardless of maturity levels.

[It was actually something she and Takeru were in the process of discussing themselves, given they were only 14/15 and should still be in middle school back home.]

But...I'm sorry, I don't recognize the name. Are they someone important to you?

I'd say the most advanced this planet gets in regards of technology is Nova City. You may find a suitable place to work at there if technology's your thing.

Is..that like Primium? Ah know somethin' 'bout that?

[The emerald-haired woman with the country voice is trying to be helpful. Your mileage may vary as to if she actually is.]

It is a bad move to kidnap royalty, but this place or whoever is doin' it don't seem to discriminate either way.

[ Lunafreya's face comes to Shuri's phone then, a small smile decorating her mouth. Although the look on her face says she more than understands the plight of the other woman. ]

They seem to care little for the status of kidnapping royalty, or an oracle of her world. [ Although very few call her 'princess' now, save for one glaive that insists on it. ]

I am afraid I have yet to meet someone by that name.

Well, judging by how you're dressed and they way you emphasized, "smart" phone.... I assume you're from a much more advanced world of technology than this.

[She doesn't mean that in a bad way, Shuri. She's intrigued if she is.]

I'm not sure about other places, but Nova City has flying cars. That's the more technically advanced cities here though, but I'm pretty sure this place doesn't care who you are; princess or not.

But wait, you're a Princess who works? With technology of all things? That's pretty cool.

The place picks whoever it feels like regardless, Princess. Like some said, the most advance technology is in Nova City and better phones.

[He just shrugs.]
