With reasonable narrative timing, there is a knock on her door right about then.

...okay! Let's confront the knockers and see if they know what's going on. She opens the door.

"Welcome!" says the person in front of the pack of three standing at her door. All three of them are beaming and holding trays of food. "My name is Tara Cay, and these are George Fye and Victoria Morgan. We're here to welcome you to the neighborhood!"

"...thank you," says Elspeth. "Do you know how I got here?"

She blinks a couple of times in polite confusion. "Well, you just moved, didn't you?"

"Did you see a truck, or how I arrived...?"

"Oh! The neighborhood association is keeping track of everyone who buys or rents a place here, and we knew someone new would be arriving today."

"How did the neighborhood association find out?"

"I'm not sure!" she replies brightly.

"Who's in charge of that part of the neighborhood association?"

"I don't really know."

"Does the association have a president or something?"

"Yes! That would be Vicky," the woman says, motioning at the one she introduced as Victoria with her head.

    "Hi! I'm Victoria Morgan," she reintroduces herself.

"Hi, Vicky. I'm Elspeth," says Elspeth. "Thanks for bringing food."

    "You're welcome! It's all vegetarian-friendly. We hope you like it!"

"...why is it vegetarian-friendly?"

    "Well, we didn't know if you were vegetarian or not. We wouldn't want to offend."

"Okay. I'm not a vegetarian but thank you."

    "Of course!"

The three of them are still holding their trays out to her and watching her somewhat expectantly.

She takes a tray and brings it in to her kitchen.

The three people follow her in and find suitable surfaces to place the food on.

"What brings you to San Myshuno?" asks the one called George.

"I don't know. What usually brings people to San Myshuno?"

        "It's a very cosmopolitan area!" he replies. "Everything is close to everything else, the skyscrapers are so exciting, and the nightlife is a lot of fun."

    "I really like going clubbing at night," says Victoria.

"It's a great place to be," agrees Tara.

...

"Thanks," says Elspeth. "Hey, do you know if there's anything going around that might cause amnesia?"

"No! I've never heard of anything like that," Tara says. "That sounds alarming."
