WHAT in person
WHERE Tidy Living Apartments
WHEN Day 132

[A very unusual-looking cutie is standing in the foyer of the Tidy Living apartments today. You definitely haven't seen them before. They are repeatedly pressing the elevator button, then jumping when it opens]

But I don't get it... I know the ding means get in, but who's opening and closing the doors...? Is someone here raising and lowering it? Ahh, and when I went upstairs, it was completely incomprehensible...

[Help them out?]

Yes! Mostly.

I've never met anybody like you before.

Ah, well, I've never met anyone like you either! Please, call me Dia.

Dia! Welcome to Quiet Mounds.

Thank you! It's very strange so far.

I think everyone feels that way, but maybe even moreso for you?

I don't think I could compare! But I've never seen anything like most of this. How do you get the jellyfish on the ceiling?

Jellyfish??

To make the lights? We usually keep them in buckets.

Ohhhh. No, they're not . . . they're not jellyfish. We use something different.

Oh! I see!

I can't imagine . . . how you would use jellyfish.

They're really very cute and friendly. You put them in buckets at night and they glow!

That does sound useful?

There are things we could burn if we had to, but materials are scarce, so it's better to work with nature.

Ah . . . that sounds tough.

Oh, it's all right. It's never been any other way.

Well, but still.

We just work hard to take care of what we have. ♥ Mostly, anyway...

Mostly?

Ahh, some of the younger gems are a little... less... careful? And there are situations, sometimes... you know?

I see . . . that sounds a bit rough.

It's all right. Sorry, I'm going on and on about it...

No, no, it's interesting, I'm interested!

I, I'm happy to tell you whatever, then...!

[sort of nervously pokes the elevator button again like they just wanna hear the ding]
