That done she keeps us her sense of detachment and tries to look through what her "character" has been given as a job.
She finds the bunny ears are, thankfully, part of the costume... but thats about it. The rest is flesh, blood, and soft fabric. Thinking about her job, a flood of info would be available from the 'partitioned' section of her mind...

"Your belief isn't required for facts to be facts. Its all there in the database. My hiring, employment history, current job." She shrugs. "That last one is a bit odd, but... theres been a bit of restructuring around here."

For a moment it almost felt like being back around that woman, so comforted that it was hard to focus on his goal. But she wasn't here now, and he dragged himself through the ball pool, his butt pushing out behind him as he crawled out from it, exposing his panties to a few of those still playing as the ruffly dress swished upwards. He wriggled down the other side of the pool's frame and back onto the floor.
Alice looking pleadingly at him as she pushed the plate into his hands.
"I... I'm not really sure. I just know we have to do our jobs... or things just get worse... ", she says, her eyes glancing down to Clarke's shortened dress in sympathy.
"You can't fight it... but you can stop it from getting worse. Please... help me dry the dishes, and we can put them away together".
Charlie wiggles out of the ball pit with a pair of soft clicks. His shiny shoes tapping against the smooth rim of the pit that then gives way to soft carpet. Up ahead is a veritable forest of large stuffed animals... and beyond the arts and crafts table... and exit...
He hears a little snicker behind him... the boy who had slid into the pit after him finding the view of his undies great entertainment. "I see london, I see france, I see girly underpants!" He calls out in a sing-song voice.

Clarke looks at her suspiciously... but... takes the plate and goes to dry it. He'd find the full story soon enough... then get out of here... and out of this dumb suit.

There is a warm tingle on her hand as it scans... then a green CONFIRMED! Flashes up on screen... to the smile of the woman. "There, now come along and stop being so difficult... we have work to do." With that she turns... and opens the door Vasily was about to bull rush through... opening it for her...
Beyond is an almost idyllic paradise of tropical plants, rushing waterfalls, clear pools, and soft music. Salon chairs and other such equipment are blended in seamlessly, decked out in a tropical flare. A steamy mist seems to hang in the air... a perfumed spray smelling of flowers and fruit. The lighting is cheery, but not harsh. Candles adding accents to cleverly hidden lighting apparatuses... most hidden in miniature live palm trees.
