[ Penelope's a smart girl, so despite the fact that she avoided talking to people as much as she could on her way to the room she'd been assigned, she'd managed to get information about this place. But having information doesn't necessarily make being kidnapped any easier to swallow. ]

Hello? Is this-- [ She taps the bracelet, as if it might give her some sort of feedback. ] Is this thing on? Can anyone hear me? [ Having information doesn't exactly mean she knows how to use something like this, either. She's been out of the house for months now, sure, but she's only just adjusted to being able to use phones. Having a bracelet that works similarly? Not exactly something she'd ever expected she'd need to learn. ]

If this does actually reach out to everyone else that has been brought here, I'd like to ask you all a question: how long ago were you brought here? How long have you been held captive? I understand that we don't exactly have a choice for when we get to go home, but it would be nice to have an estimate of how long it might be until I get sent back.

[ There's another brief pause before she adds, ] Thank you for your time.
