[Punctuality in planning is important: the ballroom itself will only be ready for guests at exactly 8 o'clock, bedecked in glittering golds and the red-green of Christmas' vestiges, still clinging to the old year. Dining tables surround a central dance floor, bars and buffets dot the edges of the room and both holly and mistletoe are expressed liberally through the interior.

Mingle, dance, eat and be merry! The New Year will come in at midnight - the band will play and the drinks will flow for long after.]

Elizabeth takes her network device out of her pocket, turning it over in her hands. "I'd always thought these ran on whatever magic powers Wonderland. It's fascinating to think that other worlds have them too."

[choosetruth]

Magic. Still not Georgia's favorite concept. She presses her lips together. "No, actually. It's not magical at all." Though here, perhaps, it is. Georgia chooses not to consider that possibility more than she has to. For the sake of her sanity, she's going to assume the more logical answer is the right one. "I didn't believe in magic before I came here, but I've always had a phone."

[uncaging]

"There are telephones where I come from too, but ... you just phone people on them." None of this 'wifi' stuff, though Elizabeth can see it coming in the future now she knows it exists.

"Well, we can still do that." Georgia gives a faint smile. "But people are more likely to use video or text."

[uncaging]

"That sounds very convenient. I've rather liked being able to see the moving pictures of people as I talk to them." She isn't aware how dated her terminology makes her sound, just very enthusiastic at the thought of it.

[choosetruth]

Wow, she sure is from before video was a thing. Georgia's polite enough not to make too much of a thing out of it. "You get a lot of subtleties you lose in plain text or with just voice."

[uncaging]

Elizabeth nods in agreement. "It's easy to lose that in even the most detailed letters." Not that she ever had anyone to send them to herself.
