Hi, all! I've been out of town the last week, but keeping an eye on things as they developed!

Having Jill walk in still seems like it would just slow things down and add to an already jumbled crowd. While the timing would be a little off at this point, I did have [I]one[/I] idea…

[@Mokley], what kind of bathroom are we looking at here? A single-use kind of deal, or the kind with a few stalls (which would still have a locking door so management could close up at night), and would it interfere with (or contradict) your post at all if, say…someone had already been inside, washing off the road dust, when the little girl burst in? :P

If you think that would work, I'd be happy to do a collab post with what's happening inside; if it wouldn't, no worries! Jill will find a way to skulk in eventually. She likely hasn't even gotten a place to crash yet, so that's another way she could be introduced to other characters—either out-of-towners who wind up staying in the same place, or locals who might help her find somewhere to stay.
