[Naoki probably could push the current limits of the network, but he's not going to, so it's a text stream that pushes through to the ghostvestigators.]

This is Naoki. Which side of things did I get a hold of? I have... maybe fifteen minutes to talk to you guys.

The one counting all the cash openly!

[She does indeed remember her by that.]

[seestheworld]

...That was not actually supposed to be open.

[There was a reason she'd gone to look for a secluded area to do that in.]

Anyway. Wanna get out of there?

[runs]

[Are you accusing any version of her of sneaking around? Rude. Totally untrue. So not her style. So very much her style.]

Yes! As soon as possible.

[seestheworld]

You got it.

[If it weren't for the possibility of Kitty ending up as an Infiltrator, she'd do this in the dorm room. But then she'd have to come up with explanations for Koro-chan and Suzaku and Mothman, and Minako's not sure she can actually manage that at the moment. She eventually manages to find an unoccupied bathroom in one of the more out-of-the-way areas of the facility - not the most appealing setting, but it'll have to do for now - and decides to hope for the best.

And then she focuses on the task at hand, namely bringing Lilo - Kitty - here. Soon enough, Kitty will find herself in an unfamiliar bathroom far, far away from Harrogate - and perhaps more importantly, no longer a ghost.]

[She blinks in surprise and stands very, very still at first, almost frozen, only her eyes moving as she scans the situation with all her senses.

And then she recognizes Minako.

And after running her hands over herself (including a moment where her hand runs seemingly through thin air as she checks her tail) and then rushes over to the dry cleaning sinks to push buttons and see whatever that thing is react.

SHE IS CORPOREAL AGAIN!]

IT WORKED!

[seestheworld]

[So it did.]

And you're still yourself, too.

[runs]

Yes!

...Why did you bring me to the loos, though?

[She eyes the surroundings with some confusion.]

[seestheworld]

I figured it'd be somewhat easier to explain if you weren't. And my dorm room is kind of crowded.

[runs]

...

[This brings up a very good point.]

How many people are there in this place?

[How many questions will her sudden presence raise? Please let this be a city...]

[seestheworld]

[...Yeah. This could be a problem.]

It's basically a wildlife rehabilitation facility, so... not that many.

[runs]

[She has no idea what that is, but...]

Are there any children?

[seestheworld]

Some - one of them being baby Rose.

[Which is probably for the best - would anyone want baby Rose anywhere near Harrogate?]

[runs]

...Are they all here with their parents?

[She's starting to see where this will have to go.]

[seestheworld]

Or some kind of guardian, at least. But there's also the question of how you got here - the volunteers only come at set times, so people are going to want to know where you came from.

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking.]

Supply runs are more often, though. Maybe we could do something with that...

[runs]

I could say that my other parent suddenly fell sick or something so I was sent to the one here.

[Or something like that.]

...I should ask the network about it.

[seestheworld]

That's a good idea.

[runs]

I'll see you then.

Thanks for getting me.

[And with that, she slips out of the bathrooms.]
