[thaumobabble]

Jane alerts everyone to the existence of a new Bell, the nature of her wives and children, and the presence of her mother-in-law.

She stands ready to move in anyone who wishes to attend this new party.

Glass stands ready to receive them.

Comments

[pythbox]

"Just tell him I'm looking forward to seeing him again. The rest can wait," she says.

[thaumobabble]

"Okay. Jane, if you don't mind," Glass says to her new gem. "King Howard Stark, died eleven years ago."

[mind_game]

[On it,] says Jane merrily.

She wakes the erstwhile king, appears him a pamphlet in the language he's familiar with, and Jane tells him:

[Hello. You died, but your daughter-in-law can fix that; the pamphlet has the details. Your wife's looking forward to seeing you. If you have questions, I can answer them; otherwise, say when and I can put you in Fire-flower Meadow where the party's at.]

[pythbox]

"Oh, by all means," says Howard, "take me to the party."

[mind_game]

Yoink!

[thaumobabble]

Glass waves tentatively.

[pythbox]

Howard looks for his wife first thing.

Marianne flings her arms around him and kisses him enthusiastically. With a little giggle, he kisses back.

[beheld_beauty]

"I brought my Renée back as soon as Jane returned, and her reunion with Charlie was not so seamless," Rose remarks to Glass, "alas."

[thaumobabble]

Glass smiles faintly, and notifies her wives and offspring that a certain someone has returned.

[pythbox]

Marianne takes her face off her husband's face long enough to say, "Thank you very much, we'll just be—" and then she pulls a thread of forest magic and the pair of them disappear.

[thaumobabble]

[...Nevermind, they've gone. I imagine they'll be back eventually.]

[allthebrightest]

Tony giggles over brainphone.

[pleasantsurprise]

Kanim will just be standing over here, trying to get his magic-senses used to what have to be a dozen different kinds of the stuff. No wonder Glass half-blinded herself trying to see it all through her specs.

[allthebrightest]

Tony wanders over, trailed by two of her boy alts. Neither one is especially magical.

"Hi!" she says brightly. "So I'm gonna go introduce myself to the rest of me. Wanna come?"

[pleasantsurprise]

"I. Uh." Kanim has known her for long enough to recognize that tone even if the exact euphemism is unfamiliar. "Uh." If he had kept that tail he had for longer than a month and a half it would be twitching. "Maaaaybe?"

[allthebrightest]

"Word is, everybody thinks you're cute," she adds.

[pleasantsurprise]

"How many of you are there?"

[allthebrightest]

"Fusion, Screwdriver, Sapphire, Red, and Iron Man," she says. "And me. Six. Is six too many?"

[pleasantsurprise]

"It's an amount!" says Kanim. "I can... accompany you on introductions. If you want."

[allthebrightest]

"Awesome," says Tony, and she pecks him on the cheek and leads the three of them in the direction of the orgy chambers. (There are orgy chambers. That is also awesome.)

[pleasantsurprise]

(There are orgy chambers. That is... something.)

Kanim wanders out of them awhile later, looking happily dazed.

[nonbird]

There's a magical person over there! He spots Kanim coming out of the orgy chambers and smiles knowingly.

[pleasantsurprise]

"...Hi! You're - something. But everybody here is something and my specialty is place magic, not people magic."

[nonbird]

"I am an ingot," he says. "My specialty is seeing magic. This place is incredible - there's more background magic here than I've seen in any other world, even Milliways."

[pleasantsurprise]

"It's the Enchanted Forest, by far the most naturally magical location in the world. Isn't it fantastic? That's why I live here. Although I do sometimes go on scholarly trips to magical caves and so on."
