>You return to the room, and see that the poltergeist has dressed. With a straw cloak over her brocaded coat and dangling down past her waste, and a noh mask over her face, frankly it takes some self control not to break out laughing.

Yes, do remember that falsehoods are very much frowned upon in Bhava-Agra. As an important representative of the Dragon Palace, we need to be careful what we suggest in that regard.

I hadn't forgotten. We both agree we don't want her to do this forever. It's like.. training wheels before riding the bike of social interaction.
