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.

"Then I would like my husband back, please," she says.

[thaumobabble]

"Ah," says Glass. "...One sec."

And she confers with some other Bells.

[cross_and_bow]

[I haven't met the template, but, my Tony invented intelligent life twice before his thirteenth birthday trying to get someone to love him back. I guess indifferent parenting isn't a hanging offense.]

[she_sells_seashells]

[Mine aren't in any great hurry about theirs. They'll be in the general queue, not jumped. Not so much indifferent parenting as their having been dead for a while and having nowhere obvious to go. The thing you should know is that if this set comes with a Stane or a Snow or anyone like that, he's a no-rez.]

[thaumobabble]

[Noted.]

And then she consults some wives.

[Is there any reason not to bring your father back into the world?]

[calendarofcrime]

[No.]

[allthebrightest]

[Are you kidding? You can do that? Do that right now!]

[thaumobabble]

[Jane can do that, but she pretty much does what Bells ask her to do. I was just checking because the others - haven't. Okay.]

"When Jane wakes him up, do you want her to relay your voice speaking to him or say anything in particular or will her usual speech be okay?" Glass asks Marianne.

[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.
