[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.

Aegis shrugs. "Juliet's got a Sherlock, Shell Bell's got a Sherlock, they'd know, or you could just ask your kids to ask Glass, Glass is a Bell and has the rights and privileges thereof and this is her world." Aegis peers quizzically at Marianne's circlet. "Unless she's, like, missing key ambitions on top of being uncharacteristically gay, there's always that possibility."

[pythbox]

"Thank you. I am the Queen of the Enchanted Forest," she adds, in response to Aegis's puzzlement. "Glass is an extremely useful daughter-in-law."

[autokinetic]

"Aaaaah-hm. Golden has parents-in-law she gets along with, but I don't think they get to wear imperial jewelry."

[pythbox]

"In this case," she says, "Glass married into royalty. Twice. So it is extremely appropriate for her to wear a crown on formal occasions. Tony made her one for the first wedding. Have you seen it?"

[autokinetic]

"Yeah, I did, it's pretty," says Aegis. "It's probably not gonna make any sense for me to wear a crown in the next few decades, I'm aiming at a democratically elected kinda title, it's a pity." She peers at Marianne. "You must be a good queen."

[pythbox]

"I am," says Marianne. "And now I think I will go see my daughter-in-law about resurrecting my husband."

[autokinetic]

"Okay," says Aegis, and she spins off to find somebody else to talk to.

[thaumobabble]

Marianne's daughter-in-law is over here, talking to Rose!

[pythbox]

"Excuse me," Marianne says politely to both of them. Then to Bella, "I'm told you can now raise the dead?"

[thaumobabble]

"I haven't done it yet, and it's actually Jane," (there is now a pale green Janegem hanging from the same necklace as Glass's power marble) "but yeah, I have the rundown on how it works."

[pythbox]

"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.
