"Kitty kitty..." Tamako says, trying to inch closer to the cat slowly. The cat seems to want none of it, and darts under the bed. Tamako jumps back and in attempts to cut the cat off from escape, but it doesn't reappear. Looking underneath the mattresses the changeling spots the tip of the cat's tail slipping down a small, unscrewed vent.
Tamako dives under bed and grabs at anything inside the duct, reaching and stretching as deep as she can.
"Got'chu!" she yells, pulling her arm back. Even while she does she notices that the texture is far too smooth to be any sort of feline. Upon returning from under out of the vent and under the bed, Tamako notices it's a wad of opened mail.
"What do you have there?" The Queen asks, making Kamiko look up from her searching. Tamako hands the queen the paper, after looking through them she hands the envelopes off to Kamiko and then signs, "Only a few of these have letters in them, and they all are addressed to my daughter. No return address. Little one, can you see if there is anymore down there?"
"Is she smaller than me or something? How'd she get them in here." Tamako says as she dives back under the bed. The vent is small, and angles pretty much right at the mouth. "Oh! Do you think she trained the cat?"
"She is part clown. She can fit into rather small spaces." The queen gestures.
"Does the vent open up anywhere else on the floor?" Kamiko asks, helping the queen look through the mail. "Or to other floors?"
"I apologize, I am not sure. I can ask the staff later." The Queen signs. The translator notes that on her clipboard.
Tamako finishes groping around the best she can in the vent. Scooping up her finds she dumps them on the Queen and Kamiko. They all look through the envelopes, pulling out any that have letters. They all contain what looks like riddles, handwritten with thick, childish penmanship.
-We honk our horns and dance with glee! Our chaos spread hliarity!-
-With tie's too big, and vests too bright, We're clad in hues that spark delight!-
-A smile drawn on, from ear to ear, our face spread joy, no hint of fear!-
-With every giggle, we grow more bold. Your laughter's worth more than all the gold!-
