"Lockers in the next room," she says, leading her there. "Locks provided."
The lockers themselves are fairly normal, half the height of an average person, two in a stack. The locks are the strange things: heavy brass, raven inlaid on one side, bat on the other. Leslie produces one from big bucket of the things, holding it out by the shackle. "Put the Raven against your heart for thirty seconds, and it'll unlock for you and you alone." Leslie glances at Rute's face. "I think we'll wait to see if you need makeup." The lighting in parts of the Mansion leave the sunniest mortals looking deathly. Just depends on where she's stuck first.
She steps out while her new coworker does this. It's easier to do when someone isn't watching, and everybody has a panicked moment when the Raven's eyes glow red the first time. She's just being polite, leaving her without an audience like that.

Whenever Rute reappears, Leslie beckons her again and tells her the next step: they're going to meet Madame Leota for a quick Séance Circle with the rest of the mortal cast.
