The hurt red is at this point sitting on the ground, propping up the bad foot on the opposite knee and scooting slowly backward. "I, uh. Shower exit. That way." Point.

Nod nod.

"I can go there afterwards don't worry."

She's not used to being scary to Amentans!

"I'm not scary, I promise."

"Not afterwards, there's nothing for it to be after, you shouldn't be here in the first place," says the purple.

Scoooooot away goes the red. Another red helps him up and he leans on them to hop down the street.

"I'm an adventurer and Cheep thought here would be good to explore since it looked different than other places."

Meelia is confused about why the Amentans are leaving! Maybe they have a good doctor somewhere.

"Yeah, it's different, in the sense that you should not explore it. Look, if I have to call the cops to make them put you through the shower instead of you just walking there yourself nobody's gonna have a fun time about that."

"Well, then I guess you shouldn't do it if it's not going to be fun?"

Meelia is really confused! And a bit worried - though she's very brave.

"The only option that is any more fun than that one is if you go, all by yourself, into the shower exit, right now, without trying to pet the reds or anything," says the purple firmly. "If I leave without making sure you're out I'm in trouble, if I stay here while you dawdle I'm late for my next delivery, if you leave any other way you get arrested and probably there's a huge to-do about arresting an alien but better that than you tracking pollution all across the city. You have to go. That way." Point, again, at the shower exit.

"Oh, how would you get in trouble? Also what do you mean by pollution? Also also, I can promise to do my best to go through the shower place when I go out."

"You promising to do your best is not me making sure."

"Oh, why do you need to make sure?"

"So I don't get in trouble. Look, I think probably you can find people way more interested in having this conversation or one like it with you than I am if you take your shower and go out and catch up with whoever you're staying with."

"What sorta trouble?"

Meelia is starting to think this is like the Giant Green Skeleton monster and his valley. The monster kept people away from a valley by crawling around it and swiping at people and someone had remembered from a while ago that there were amaliens in that valley and weren't sure the monster was friendly to them. So Meelia had gotten past the monster (even though it didn't want her to) to find the amaliens and then helped them leave so that monster could protect the valley without hurting amaliens. She was sad she'd had to make the monster angry to do that but she still thought it was the sort of important thing adventurers like her have to do sometimes. 

"With, I don't know, my boss, the cops, the government, anyone who realizes I'm right here and should have made sure you obeyed the law when you look awfully likely to not obey the law. Did anybody explain laws to you before you came here?"

"They said their were laws that were rules for everyone's own good. And this one doesn't seem very important for my own good. You can tell your boss and the cops and the government and anyone else to call me on my everything and I'll tell them you didn't do anything wrong."

"I think you maybe did not understand the explanation you got very well. Look, do you want me to call the cops? All they'll do is show up and put you through the shower without standing around asking nicely for nearly as long first."

"You aren't asking very nicely. I think I'm going to go check on the person whose foot got hurt now."

Meelia walks off, in the direction of the person who got hurt.

"Don't just stand there, you idiots!" the purple snaps at the reds who are indeed kind of just standing there.

"The doctor will take care of him, miss!" blurts a red. "It's very kind of you to want to help but we wouldn't like to bother the police over it!"

Meelia knows a bully when she sees one. Most amaliens aren't like that, but sometimes they are (usually cause they're very sad and angry and confused) and monsters are more often. 

"I can let the police know that there's nothing to worry about. If you really really want me to leave I can but you don't have to say that just cause she tells you to and is mean to you. I'm an adventurer and very good at helping, even when its hard and scary."

A red kind of stage-whispers to her, loudly enough to reach her but plausibly not enough to reach the purple, "We really really really really do not want cops here. Please do not make her call the cops."

Oh, cops are bullies too. And the mean Amentan here will call them. Its prolly easier for her to come back without letting this mean Amentan know about that then.

"Okay I'll leave. It was nice meeting you all."

She heads out through the exit shower.

The purple watches her, shoving out a few more cartons, and leaves as soon as the door clicks behind her.

There is a box that says it's for clothes and shoes and another that says it's for electronics and other non-textile items and both of these have signs saying that the following list of materials are likely to suffer damage for which the Castile Corp is not liable, and once she's divested of her possessions there is a door for her to proceed through.

The shower has several chambers to go through one at a time airlock style, each with instructions on the wall and buttons she can push to redo a section if she's not sure she did it right and a timed program and audio instructions available if she has trouble with reading in the steam of the hot water. There are a lot of kinds of soap. The complete program takes about five hours.

Meelia gets pretty confused about all this pretty fast! She looks around for a way to get out faster.

The shower doesn't have a way to tell if she doesn't actually scrub when she's supposed to, but it will not in fact let her out unless she pulls the fire alarm.

So. She could prolly break her way through all the glass and plastic and things but ... she's trying to be sneaky so no one is mean to the red haired Amentans. So she'll do this the hard way.

After another couple of hours she really really wants to get out but still isn't and it's so tiring and boring but sometimes adventures have bits like that. She starts doing acrobatic tricks to pass the time.
