I entered the dome home through large glass doors. I couldn’t help but notice some sort of substance smeared on the glass. They appeared to be fingerprints, and some other pattern I was unable to identify. I shall ask the inhabitants when I encounter them.
The floor was gray and white in coloration and pattern, but at certain angles and light, dirt and smudges were visible. I believe these to be prints of some sort extremities, however, it is unclear at this point what sorts of living entities live within this dome.
I then stepped into a large room with two seating apparati as well as what seemed to be a dining area. However, the apparent dining area was somewhat difficult to decipher as there were items strewn about it, on top of it and next to it. The seating areas were similar in nature in so far as being cluttered, yet this clutter was mainly on the floor and table and included tiny trinkets in various forms. Things noted: 3 sharks, 1 octopus, 8 dinosaurs, 2 soiled and stuffed objects I was unable to discern, a metal container of some sort, marbles, a large coin, 2 frogs, a cage type apparatus, a head adornment, a container of liquid, a food item, and more.
Feeling overwhelmed, I continued into what appeared to be an area in which food is stored and prepared. I detected another table type surface covered with paper items, browned bananas and glassware. As I continued, I had to dodge droplets of what appeared to be water, covering the floor - the source of the liquid seemed to be stemming from a wooden platform holding two metal bowls.
Deeper into my exploration of the area, I noticed a sunken area full of food scraps and tools to eat. I turned to my right and followed a path to a doorway. I opened the door to find clothing strewn about next to two machines and neatly folded clothing piled on top. I also found a seat containing water constructed like a chair. The seat containing water had three layers, two of which were standing up so there was a gaping hole in the middle. Upon closer inspection, I discovered yellowish stains adorning the outside of the water chair.
I could go no further on this floor, so I made my way up to the top of the dome by way of winding stairs. At the top, I noticed what appeared to be a bathing room and decided to enter. As I entered the surmised bathing room, I observed two white sinks. One sink was adorned with small black and brown specimens I hypothesize as hair, as well as a blue container slightly open, with a clear plastic entity next to it.
After exiting the bathing room, I detected various articles of clothing hanging over a railing along the second floor boundary. I pondered this for a moment, questioning why these pieces may be on the rail rather than with the other clothing I previously observed on the first floor. However, the point of this expedition was not to judge, rather just to observe, so I moved on.
I entered what looked to be a sleeping area. I noticed two tables on either side of the sleeping apparatus. One was adorned with a picture, a candle, a small metal frog and a small dish with jewelry or trinkets in it. Under it, a statue of a duck with a basket container holding pieces of paper. The other, was more difficult to decipher as it was not organized in the same fashion as the one aforementioned. This had various books, pieces of clothing, and items covering it, top and bottom.
I decided to head back down the winding stairway as I heard the inhabitants enter the premises. I had many questions for them, so I wanted to ensure my presence was known.
Conclusion: this expedition has taught me that although this living space may be a bit untidy in my opinion, the inhabitants seem to enjoy being here. It is a space that is lived in, and they appear to be nourished, well-adjusted, happy and healthy. In the end, that is what matters, regardless of my opinions of their choice of living arrangements.
