several kinds

[thaumobabble]

Glass appears in the Belltower, where the Jokers less Felicity are still assembled.

"There are," she announces, "kinds of you."

Comments

Glass taps her Janegem, and they're in the castle for the briefest instant and then they're in the gentle cave. "The poofs are the featureless round ones, but if something else catches your fancy I don't see a reason to restrict you."

[inhispockets]

A pale pink poof rolls up to Felicity's foot and meeps.

"...awwwwwww," he says, crouching down to pet it. It whmmmmms and glows. He sits on the cave floor and scoops it up, hugging it to his chest.

"They don't bite or anything, do they?"

[thaumobabble]

"Nope. They don't even have teeth."

[inhispockets]

"How do they eat, then? Do they even eat? Or do they just - cute all the time and that's it?"

[thaumobabble]

"They need the flavored water from those springs," Glass points, "I can magic up a little fountain for you, and they manage to eat plants in very small bites. Any kind of plants, and they don't need much."

[inhispockets]

Felicity snuggles the pink poof.

"It's really cute," he says.

[thaumobabble]

"They are. Is that the one you want?"

[inhispockets]

He nuzzles it. It makes its happy sound and glows some more.

"Sure," he says.

[thaumobabble]

"Okay. Jane?"

And they are back at the Aurum Janepoint, and then they are where Glass found him on the island, and then she produces a little poof-fountain for him. "Here you are."

[inhispockets]

"Aww."

He grins happily at her.

"Thanks."

[thaumobabble]

"You're welcome. Where's Elspeth?"

[inhispockets]

He shrugs. "Doing something."

[thaumobabble]

"Huh. Okay. Well, enjoy your poof."

[inhispockets]

"I will," he says, hugging it.

Elsewhere, something occurs to the Jokers:

"Can I be there when Glass talks to Golden?" says Harley.

[mind_game]

Jane confers with Glass. "Sure," she says.

[pythbox]

"Okay," says Harley. "Is she there already, or going soon, or are they still in the Gentle Cave...?"

[mind_game]

"She just gave Felicity his poof fountain and is currently waiting in the active capital for Golden to get out of a meeting. Golden's not going to be at the entire meeting like Elspeth is, just the overview, so she'll be done in a couple minutes."

[pythbox]

"Okay," says Harley.

He freecasts to Glass.

[thaumobabble]

"Hi," says Glass. "What are you thinking you'll add to the - I mean, I'm totally on board with having you there, but what wasn't covered when I was asking for advice?"

[pythbox]

"I don't know," says Harley. "But if I'm there, then if something comes up..." He shrugs.

[thaumobabble]

"Okay. So, Felicity has a poof and a fountain now. It's sort of rose-pink."

[pythbox]

He smiles. "Aww."

[thaumobabble]

"Wanted to know if they bit."

[pythbox]

Harley smiles again, wryly. "Yeah. I'm not surprised."
