[The feed turns on to reveal a big wet nose hogging up most of the camera space. It moves back, revealing a wide-eyed tauren face.]

Ah! It works! [Wow, what kind of crazy-ass accent is THAT?]

Lok'tar! Hello! This device - it is Gnomish? It hasn't exploded so far, so definitely not Goblin... I have never seen anything like this. Even the writing of... of...

[She wrinkles her nose and pantomimes writing something on her palm.]

...Mail! Even the writing of mail is not common in my tribe. We prefer face-to-face. But, as this is speaking and not writing, it is still good, I think. I-I know it will help me to practice the human tongue. You can probably hear I am still learning.

[She laughs nervously, rubbing the side of her face. Then she glances away, trying to remember something.]

...Oh! I was so excited, I forgot the most important thing. My name is Aquenda Tenderhoof. I think, maybe, I come at a strange time. There was a festival, but great beasts came to destroy it. [Sorta.] Also, I have heard of floods? To speak of that, if anybody can tell me your rituals in receiving elemental blessings here, that would be helpful very much.

[ Here's someone completely unfazed by Aquenda's appearance and also deals with elves and dragons and things :D ]

Greetings. I hope you're settling in alright. My name is Manah. I'm the guidance counselor here if you need anything. This world can be pretty different from home.

It can be quite a change for many people. I am here if you need help.

The devices are something else, aren't they? I'm afraid I can't help you much there, as they're pretty new to me. I hear these computers are incredibly useful in many things.

The technology here can be delicate at times. Some is sturdier than others. Experimentation is probably the best.
