--ust speak into it." What? My hand?

[The voice of a young woman comes through the speakers, cut off at first and growing faint Like the person is leaning away from the speaker.]

Hello? Anyone, no this isn't working, is it? Of course not. Okay. Speak clearly into...

[oh dear]

Hello? Anyone out there? Someone can hear this, right? Hold on, maybe the knob-

[There's a rather startling amount of feedback static bursting out of the speaker for a couple seconds, along with a very distressed groan.]

Come on. You'd think it'd be easy as pushing a button, or-

[It cuts off there. Apparently, someone found the 'off' switch.]

[monomachy]

Cassandra? Do you need help with the radio?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Diana? Yeah, I-

[Wait.]

How much of that did you hear?

[monomachy]

Most of it, I think. These devices aren't very intuitive. Would you like me to drop by and have a look at it with you?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Something comes through fast and quick, a sound that the mini speaker may be having trouble communicating: Cassandra smacking her forehead with the palm of her hand.]

Ah.... They're... really not.

[Well.]

Why not? I've already made enough of a fool of myself.

[monomachy]

You've done no such thing. You can't be expected to immediately figure out something like this. Where are you?

[righthandstand]

[He recognizes that voice. It's the lady who didn't want him to eat cake!.]

Yeah. We barely hear ya.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

What was that?

[righthandstand]

Lower your voice a bit!

[This is actually kind of fun.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

How about now?

[Seems we're slowly finding the appropriate volume.]

[spaghettimonster]

Hello, yes, you're coming in loud and unclear.

[That was a whole burst of static there. Not exactly his favorite sound in the world.]

But you're getting closer!

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Perfect. That's almost what I wanted.

[Augh. More static.]

Sorry, I... I don't know what I'm doing.

[spaghettimonster]

Well, you've called the right sk-- skilled person. I know loads about talking on phones, and radios are pretty close. I'm happy to help!

For a start, whatever you're doing, before the static: don't do that.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Wait, I thought this was a- [Actually, you know what? She's already confused.] Never mind.

Okay. I'm not doing... whatever that did anymore. I had no idea these things could get that loud.

[freeflight]

More or less. But it sounds like you're blowing it.

[ He's helping...? Very neighborly. ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

I'm gonna blow up this thing if it doesn't start working!

[Howdy, neighbor. Your neighbor is big mad.]

[freeflight]

I’m not saying that’s the wrong idea.

I’m not keeping up with this because I want to either.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Ugh, [There's a sound not unlike someone putting their head face down on a desk or table.] Why does technology have to be so different here?

Why do you have to use this thing instead of, oh I don't know, a messenger bird?

[Audio]

[prodigalhairess]

Oh hey, you got it working!!

[Surprise! Looks like your bestie is right there with you in figuring out all this weird new technology stuff.]

You had it going just fine right before you hit that last button, Cass!

[feudalladyshandmaid]

R-Raps?

[Oh. Oh that is so strange. Every nerve in Cassandra's body is fighting the urge to crush this machine under her foot and set Rapunzel free.

But that's now what's happening here. Maybe. Hopefully.]

Last button- Oh. [Let her... stay away from that button then.] How about now?

[prodigalhairess]

Yeah, it's perfect!

[Rapunzel gives a thumbs up.... before realizing right, Cass can't see her. Whoops!]

These things are super cool, huh? Imagine how easy it'd be to keep in touch back home if we had them in Corona!

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Nope! Cass just. watches the speaker, half-expecting Rapunzel's face to pop out of it.]

Yeah! I mean... they're alright, I guess?

[But hearing Rapunzel's voice, even miles away... that's not a terrible idea.]

So long as they don't explode or anything, I'm fine with them.

[purplejaguareye]

I can hear you - oh, I think you turned it off...

Hello? Are you still there?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

...Hello? Hello?

[Did she hear a voice in this thing? Or is she finally going nuts?]

Are you still there?

[purplejaguareye]

Yep, still here! Figuring out how this thing works, huh?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Yeah. [Hopefully the long-suffering sigh of a woman simply trying her best sufficiently makes its way through the speaker.]

Through trial and error. Not the best way to publicly do something.
