[There's angry grumbling in a rough Scottish brogue when the feed switches on, muttering words like 'stupid imps' and 'how in the blazes' before the owner of the locket realizes that she's finally got it turned on. The girl in question gives a triumphant 'ahah!' and claps her hand against her wrist so that she doesn't drop her locket.]
Hah! I knew I could get it workin'! [She lets out an excited laugh.] This is just like those weird toilets an' th' water that you don't have to collect from th' streams!
[The screen zooms in before it zooms out when she gives a 'whoops', revealing a girl of about sixteen with a mass of red curls down past her shoulders and bright blue eyes that gleam eagerly. She still looks plenty annoyed at her situation, but at the very least she's relieved that she has contact. The technology baffles her, as does most of the things that she's seen.]
Sorry about that. My name's Merida, firstborn of Clan DunBroch, daughter of Queen Elinor an' Fergus th' Bear King. I've heard an' read about th' fae my whole life but I've only seen Will o th' Wisps.
[Her mother had never said that fae folk would show themselves like they did, kidnapping her from her home, though she has heard stories of faeries swapping their children for human children. Speaking of her mother...]
Er, I don't suppose anyone's seen a bear around here? Wandering upright, actin' all prim an' proper? She's not dangerous [she mutters an 'at least I hope not' under her breath] but if anyone's seen her...
[Who knew how time worked here, but maybe she could ask the High King or High Queen to turn her mother back. Surely faeries would be capable of that, right?]
