Rae looked over to her best friend, suprised. "b-but" Rae stammered, "how did Kamiya tell you that I was spirit detective if you wouldn't go to spirit world?".
"two things, Rae" Sara began, "one, I never said that I would not go back up there, especially now that you're spirit detective, and two, it wasn't Kamiya directly who told me about your being chosen, it was one of her attendants who came down, not my mother, of course, too many memories. The one that came was Hannah. She delivered a message from Kamiya about it".
"that's me" a chipper voice said from across the room. Rae whipped around and saw a girl...floating...outside the window.
"who are you?" Rae asked. As if answering, Sara nearly screeched, "Hannah!". Rae looked at her with suprise. Hannah continued as if she hadn't paused, "what are you doing? and in broad daylight, too!".
Rae raced over to the window and glanced down to make sure it wasn't a trick. Nope. There was nothing to lean on with Sara's second-story apartment.
"hey" Rae said, noticing something, "how come you're riding on an oar, and not a broom?". Sara, who'd walked over, whacked Rae on the head.
"they're not witches!" Sara said. "well, then, what the heck are they?" Rae cried, rubbing the back of her head. "I can answer that!" Hannah said, eager to show off her knowledge. She rode in through the window, Sara muttering something about 'reckless flying'.
Sara and Rae sat down, as did Hannah. She began to talk, and talk about everything.
"the first thing you need to know are the ranks. we have a couple. First up is the king or queen, then prince or princess, then attendants, and then ogres".
"what about detectives?" Rae asked. Hannah nodded, "the spirit detective and their team are just above the attendants, yet below the prince or princess. They are graphed on the charts as branching off the prince or princess, but they are really somewhere in the middle."
"in this case, we have a king, Nonaro. He is on top. Our princess is Kamiya, and you are the spirit detective. We have three attendants, each having a different place, all not human, all female, of course."
"the first of these is Koma. She is a ferry-girl, and Kamiya's real attendant. We are all called attendants, though Koma is really the only one with attendant as a job. She provides Kamiya with information really, whether from the records, her observations, the spirit world court - tell you in a minute, or calculations".
"The next up is yours truly here, Hannah. I am a ferry-girl, and now the official spirit detective attendant. I am to give the detective info, help, and such. The final attendant is Yumi, Sara's mother. She is just a ferry-girl".
"But what is a ferry-girl?" Rae asked. "when a person dies, their spirit separates from their body. They cannot be seen, of course. A ferry-girl flies down, in ghost form-" "WHAT?!" Rae yelled, alarmed. Hannah laughed.
"relax, it simply means that we cannot be seen by humans. When we go into living form, we can be seen. We are in ghost form in spirit world, and I am really the only one who will ever need living form. You can see us in spirit world, though".
"Anyway, they go down, tell the person who died that they died, if they haven't already figured it out, take them back to spirit world, and Kamiya will decide where to send them, paradise or punishment, heaven or hell."
"then come the ogres. They are usually male, and come in a variety of different colors. The colors are red, green, yellow, brown, blue, and gray. They keep files, work, serve drinks, and basically do everything we haven't covered".
"as for the spirit world court, it is in charge of probations of demons, those going to spirit world jail, and that's about it. Oh, and by the way, Kamiya is at the head of it".
"So, anyway Rae" Hannah said, standing up and brushing herself off, "I suppose it's time I told you what I came here to tell you. Your first case has been chosen".

They are skinny in the middle, there is basically a triangle on top, and the bottom is a circle with a hole in it for holding it in your belt.
