[Well, if it's been about introducing herself to the City, she supposes it's about time to actually make herself OPEN to it. Foregoing the more natural text for a video, as to actually show herself to these other residents

Gamzee lives with me, and Equius and Nepeta live next door. I'm not certain, but Tavros may live in the vicinity. I could direct you to my area?

[lousygoodfriend]

... I could certainly come and survey the conditions, see if it is perhaps what I'm looking for. I'll head over to look, if you wouldn't mind.

... have we met? I have the feeling I've spoken to you.

[ergaleomancer]

[[Smug smirk.]]

I believe we have~.

But anyway. It's near the theatre; I assume you can find that yourself? Head away from the Cathedral from the Theatre for about five hundred yards; there's a small unmarked street that goes to the left. Look up and you'll see a sign somewhat down the street, it says 'Ergaleomancer'. That's my shop. Many places in the area are still open.

[lousygoodfriend]

... I believe I remember now. Hmm. Yes, I think I may have seen the place. I will be there shortly.

[Because she has wandered the town quite a bit, memorizing the layout. Shutting off the feed, she heads over, following vaguely to Theta's directions to make sure she's remembering the same place. She makes it in decent timing, knocking to give note of her arrival. She doesn't want to barge into someone's home.]

[[Fetch-It opens the door and bows slightly, motioning her inside.]]

[lousygoodfriend]

[She steps inside, unable to help but smile at the little device, patting it on it's head gently, and looking around the room for her hostess, closing the door behind her.] Hello? I hope I haven't inconvenienced you, asking for some direction. I'm not impeding on any time of yours, am I?

[ergaleomancer]

[[Fetch-It doesn't get patted often. Fetch-It likes this. Gain one shadow, Kanaya, Fetch-It is following you around.]]

Not at all. This is a shop, after all, it's open to the public.

[lousygoodfriend]

Well, that's convenient to know. Did I ever introduce myself during our last conversation? [She's content to have it following her, slipping an amused, fond glance.] Otherwise, best to get that out of the way.

[ergaleomancer]

No, I don't think we got the chance. I'm Elizabeθ Buckley. And you?

[lousygoodfriend]

Kanaya Maryam. It's a... pleasure, I'm sure. So, to clarify - am I being offered space here, or simply one on the homes here on the grounds of being close to the others here?

I'm also curious as to what an Ergaleomancer is.

[ergaleomancer]

You can ask Gamzee if you'd like to share his room, otherwise, I'd recommend the vicinity.

And an ergaleomancer... [[She gestures at the clocks and watches filling the shop, then holds her hand down to Fetch-It. Nice pats aside, Fetch-It's loyalty is to Theta, so it dutifully climbs onto the counter.]]

Makes these.

[lousygoodfriend]

I don't believe so. Offers to live within the same Hive are already strange enough... sharing living space that close can be a bit of a strain. I'll look around though, certainly.

So you build... machines? Like Equius? [She gives another pat to the little guy.]

[ergaleomancer]

Clockworks. They're not at all similar and very similar indeed. They're not electrical.

[[Fetch-It likes you. It holds its hands up at the top of its head, one finger extended upwards and the tip of its other finger crooked down--imitating Kanaya's horns.]]

[lousygoodfriend]

That's very interesting! [She laughs, patting the watch again, amused at the mimicry.] Are all of them this cute?

[mirthfulness]

Some of them are cuter, sis.

[Gamzee comes down the stairs just then, winding up the key in his own little harlequin as he does.]

Hey.

[ergaleomancer]

Not all of them are, some--oh, hello, Gamzee!

[[She smiles, glad to see him. It looks like he might be feeling better? Theta thinks so, anyway.]]

[[Fetch-It also waves to him.]]
