Oh. Oh my! Yes, I know how this technology works.

[ The video image wavers as Elizabeth peers into the camera, and all that is visible is one bright yellow eye. After a moment, she pulls it away from her face. ]

This is the social media that I have been heard tales of. What an enticing ring to a name, isn't it? "Social media." To facilitate bonds between people despite many challenges that others might surrender to, defeating such constraints as time and distance. How marvelous this is.

Hello, I am Elizabeth! [ She practically sings her greeting. ] I look forward to experiencing your world, both that of social media and otherwise. Our sponsors have assigned to me a domicile, and I have my very own room in that of the second household of De Chima.

I think I will turn it into a dance club.

...hey, wait a minute. How's it gonna be a dance club and private at the same time?

[elevatorattendant]

I understand it's to be expected of a woman to be contradictory. Therefore, I am.

[theslayerofgod]

Uh. I guess there's a saying like that, but I'm not sure you should really aspire to live by it.

[elevatorattendant]

And why not? I find it to be very entertaining.

[theslayerofgod]

I guess it depends on whether you want to end up with some kind of fine for installing strobe lights and oversized speakers in your bedroom.

[elevatorattendant]

I am starting to suspect that you are making up all kinds of rules that don't actually have any meaning.

[theslayerofgod]

Huh? Why would I do that, it's not gonna affect me, I don't even live in De Chima.

I just figured you should know people won't really like flashing lights and loud music and um. Tons of visitors in their house.
