[ Elena's laughing when the camera turns on, and she's fussing with her comm, trying to get it to stay upright in front of her on the bed while she sits cross-legged in front of the view. Her hair is still wet from her shower, but otherwise she looks pretty damn happy, considering... everything that just happened.
Jenna stands behind her, combing her hair out and looking a little overwhelmed, but happy herself. ]
Is this right? --It's like face-time, right? No, c'mon don't laugh at me I don't wanna mess this up.
Think of it like... Skype in space. Same general principle-- which means stop talking to me and address your adoring public.
[ and then Elena waves once at the camera, like she's just remembered it's on and broadcasting, and Jenna just laughs and continues brushing. ]
Um, hey. I'm Elena and I'm new here-
[ another burst of laughter from her before she keeps going ]
Sorry, I'm really bad at talking to a camera, um. I'm actually looking for my friends, if any of you guys are around. [ She sobers up a bit, not liking the idea of them being all split up, even if she does have Aunt Jenna right here with her. ] Bonnie and Caroline, if you're here let me know. [ weird quirk of a smile at this; ] I don't wanna be in space without you guys.
-- Stefan and Damon too.
[ Jenna, visible in the background, rolls her eyes at the second name but doesn't comment, letting Elena have her moment. (SORRY, ELDER SALVATORE. YOU TOUCHED HER UNDERAGE NIECE, YOU GET ALL THE EYEROLL.) ] You better be okay, if you're here. And Jeremy! Check in, please. You can't hide from us forever! [ more laughing again. ]
( ooc | FOR SAKE OF EASE dialogue in purple is Jenna, reddish is Elena. replies will come from both! )

A pleasure to meet you, Elena. I hope you're adjusting as well as one can.
[The last is said with just a hint of wry humor.]
