Figure Eve the mummy out

The party has been pretty uneventful so far so you wouldn't think that hanging out with the blind, mute rag bound mummy would make it any better, but whatever, right?

As you watch Nat swinging her perfect hips on the dance floor you start feeling regret, but digress. If not for anything else, then you'll hang out with Eve for the irony.

"Hey Eve, it's me March! The others left somewhere, so I guess we are the only two that remain." She doesn't even flinch - her whole body is wrapped up so tight that you wonder if there's even a person inside there.

"Uh, can you like move at all?" You try and get a reaction. Her head turns a degree or two to the right. Ok, so there's still some hope. Ok, let's keep it up.

"Can you turn your head from left to right, or just right?" She turns to both sides and you give a small smile. "Ok, so let's work out something. If you agree or want to say 'yes' you'll turn to your right. If you disagree or want to say 'no' you'll turn to your left, ok?"

You are miles more confident around someone, who can't see you, and can't touch you. She turns her head to her right. "Yeah! Now we can kinda speak. So, a yes or no question... Are you new here?" She turns to her left and you kinda already knew it. "Ok, I'm new. Oh, I should proppably picture how I look to you, right?"

She takes a second but turns her head to her right. "Yeah, so I'm dressed up like Snow White. I have a big black skirt and a natural white blouse on." You don't feel like telling her about your neckhole, so you skip that: "On top of that I have a green waist high corset and cute brown shoes. I have my hair dyed black tonight and it's down to my eh, chest."

She agrees and you feel like this is going far better than you thought at first. "You know what, I have an idea."

You've heared that people like Eve here could make simple words with a special board. The board has all letters in it and you go through them and say them aloud and when the right letter comes up the person trying to communicate reacts somehow.

"Have you heard about a spelling board?" She says yes and you sigh as you're not that good at explaining things.

So, lets see. You take out your phone and find one of those from Google. "Now think on what you'd like to say, and I'll help you." Eve says yes and you start counting letters.

"A, B, C, D, E, F, G...." Eve turn her head to the right and you mark G as the first letter. "A, B, C, D, E..." She reacts and you write down E. You do it again: "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T..." She reacts and you write down T. "Is the word 'get'?" She says yes and you keep doing that as the party is happening behind you.

You get another word: 'me' and a third: 'out'. You realize that she maybe wants to get the mummy costume off. "Hey Eve, do you want me to get you out of that costume, or just walk you out?" She doesn't react and you realize that it had to be a yes or no question. "Sorry, do you want the costume off?" She turns to the right and you nod for no real reason.

You do feel bad for Eve, but doing these games with her is kinda fun too. Suddenly you remember Natasha's offer to Eve and start to think. "Hey, Eve. Did you forget that offer that Natasha made? She...um." The mummy turns her head to the left and you blush. It seems as if she'd want to rather get out than spend the rest of the night trapped in that thing.

You should help her. It seems as if the guests are going upstairs for whatever reason, that means that the first floor would proppably be a good place to unwrap her, but doing it in one of the rooms here would work too, wouldn't it? It's not that big of a choise, but you should choose.
