[The video opens on Zelda sitting in her office at Gramarye. She smiles once the video begins, a little subdued.]

Hello. I hope everyone's faring better after the events of a couple of months ago.

[She considers saying more, only to shake her head slightly. Best to let terrible memories lie. Besides, that's not the point of this broadcast.]

This is going to sound like a strange question, I'm sure. But I was wondering if anyone had advice on what sort of things are useful to buy when moving into a new home? I'm looking at apartments at the moment... they have furniture in them, but I'm not sure what else usually goes into a living space, especially here in Riverview.

[There are just a lot of gadgets that seem useful. And fascinating. But how many of them are practical? That's the real question. After a moment, Zelda has to smother an awkward laugh.]

It's probably obvious that I haven't done this before. [She looks down for a moment before holding up a magazine, folded open to a page advertising a dehumidifier.] And... I’m interested in how these work, but how necessary are they? How humid can a home really be?

It's nice to meet you, Gabby. Where are you staying in Riverview? I'm still in the shared housing at the moment.

[honeybadgerer]

Same here! I'm on Floor 14.

[hylights]

I'm on floor 8. Though obviously I'm thinking of moving out, since...

[She gestures at the camera. She did make this whole video message about it, after all.]

[honeybadgerer]

You should! It's important to have your own place.

[hylights]

I think so too. But it was nice for a while to live with others. I haven't really tried that before.

[honeybadgerer]

Yeah, it's kinda new to me too.

[ in a way. she's never been alone but neither has she lived in normal quarters until recently. ]

[hylights]

Is it? Did you live alone at home?

[Gabby seems rather young for that, but she doesn't know the girl's circumstances.]

[honeybadgerer]

[ she shakes her head. ]

No, I lived in a cell my entire life. I only just got out recently.

[hylights]

In-- you mean a prison cell?

[honeybadgerer]

Yep!

[ gabby plz. ]

It was pretty tiny.

[hylights]

[That's so ghastly to imagine. Spending your entire life in a cell.]

I'm sorry, that's awful. I'm glad you're not there now.

[honeybadgerer]

Oh, me too. That place was the worst.

[hylights]

I was kidnapped only a few weeks ago and we were kept in cells below the ground. I can't imagine spending most of my life that way.

[honeybadgerer]

Yeah, no one likes it.
