[Allison had shown him a few tricks with cellphones back home, so Tom had a basic idea on how this communicator might work, but he's far from proficient.

He leans in close and his voice is raised while he speaks slowly]

Hello. I am Tom McNair. I am new an--

[The communicator falls from his hands and for a moment there's a dizzying sight of legs and then feet as it lands on the floor]

Oi! Sorry! Sorry!

[He picks it back up and looks a bit worried that maybe he hurt the thing, or those watching. This time he's speaking more like normal Tom, but he's still slightly nervous]

I wanted to talk to people. I don't have a lot to say but I figured if we all have to be together then we should try and be friends. So, if you wanna talk and be friends we can do that. Or if you don't wanna talk, but still be friends we can do that too.

Okay. Bye.

[The feed flickers on and there is a rather nasty sound from the other end, as the cell phone is dropped. Mordred picks it up, turns it about and examines it closely, uncertain of the way it looks and the strange things it does.]

I’ve been told I may use this as a form of communication, but I fear I may have been tricked. I just talk into it?

[It wouldn’t be anything new after all, Mordred was teased by the Knights back in Camelot frequently! Unfortunately, he doesn’t pick up this technology like he should, and instead continues to look at it strangely, even as he speaks into the little object. He looks around, letting out a sigh as he stops moving.]

I'm told we're rather stuck in this place, I've accepted that, but I keep finding myself unable to get back to where I started. I turn one corner and it leads somewhere I've never been before. How does one manage a place like this?

[ This means that Mordred is lost. He doesn't like to admit it, but he's been wandering for a while now and all of it starts to look the same to someone used to Camelot. ]

I suppose I must be missing something. Perhaps someone else has insights?

Do continue the tale according to your own imagination and while you think, however long that will take -

What do you know of magic? aside for fairy dust and happily ever after.
