Thanks to the help of the group, the goop and the creatures were cleaned up rather quickly. "Whew! Thanks a bundle!" The Piantas around were very happy to have that all clean. "Man, that Luigi...what a meanie he is! And that creepy monster too...this is worse than last time!"
"Well...I'm glad we could clean that mess up," Yumeko said, though she didn't really sound very happy. She looked to the Piantas.
"Do you think you could help us get home? My friend too...she died in the plane crash, and her body…"
"Of course! We can get the police here right away!"
"Not to worry...I've already brought them."
From the gate came two Piantas in police uniforms, accompanied by a young woman, who apparently had been the one to speak. She smiled at everyone, yet there was definitely something peculiar about her smile...as if there were something she knew that you didn't.
"...!" Yumeko froze upon seeing the woman, a look of bewilderment on her face. Perhaps she jogged her memory a little bit?
The woman didn't seem to pay Yumeko much mind at the moment.
"I was in the gateway when I heard there was a crash, and criminals ravaging the Delfino Airstrip," she said.
"Naturally, I alerted the police."
One of the officers nodded. "Oh yes, we need to take care of these troublemakers right away!"
"Huh? But they vanished..." Yumeko quickly turned her attention to the police officers.
"Can you please help us? My friend Mary, in the plane, she-oh!"

Yumeko stopped as she was suddenly put in handcuffs.
"What are you doing?"
The police officers began putting handcuffs on the rest of the group. "You're all under arrest!"
"Wh-What? Why?! We've been kidnapped and through a plane crash!"
"A likely story! You can try pulling that cute highschooler act on the judge all you want, but it won't fool us, you band of rogues!" You would find yourself handcuffed, and tased if you tried to resist. Starlow would have a rope tied around her, since she didn't have hands. Either way, everyone would be ushered off into a ferry and herded off to the main island. There isn't much ceremony as all of you are brought into a jail cell, with someone already in there.
"Oh look who it is. The friggin pigs." The large hulking beast said with a snarl before standing up and balling up his fists. "You come t'let me outta here? Or do you want me to give you a grade A pummeling and make you let me out?" Bowser asked, not paying too much mind to his new cell mates.
"Quiet, you!" The officer looks at you all. "We'll come pick you all up tonight for your trial. In the meantime, you can talk to your cellmate if you want company. We tend to avoid conversing with criminals. But if you try to cause a ruckus…" The officer pulled out his taser to make a point. "You can also request for your lawyer, but, uh…" He exchanged a nervous glance at his coworker. "...listen, just confess to being guilty. Please."
Looks like you don't have many options. You can
request your attorney, or
chat with this cellmate of yours. Yumeko sits by the wall, silent.
