i am the oncoming storm

[autokinetic]

There are three Bells in Milliways.

They want a fourth. A fifth. A sixth. A seventh.

And then Downside is going down.

"Ack!"

No nudity taboo, maybe, but that doesn't extend as far as you might think. (It does mean Amariah doesn't bother to square on her silks, just pulls herself out from under Kas.

"What are you doing here? How'd you get here?"

[pythbox]

Sue laughs.

"Sorry, guys! I just - fuck it," he says, and tries linking her. This will be a lot easier if he can catch her up the fast way.

[dark_light]

Amariah's birth blessing is unlike Juliet's insubstantiality; she folds in just fine.

[pythbox]

He hits her with his best summary and displays her to the rest of the group.

[dark_light]

Okay, says Amariah, processing, so we set up Jane here and she can put me in Milliways to join the party? Hit me, I've got coins going spare to conjure the hardware and hook her up.

(Kas, meanwhile, is giggling. Jokers don't embarrass easy.)

Tony, back in Sunshine, provides the specs for ansible-and-connected-hardware-and-power-and-internet. The airlock was the most complex part, and Amariah doesn't need one; the whole thing could probably fit in a pentagon or two.

[dark_light]

And it does. Amariah stuffs everything in a brand-new basement.

[mind_game]

Jane triangulates with Sue, swipes a half-ansible, and manages to plug it in on her end all by herself with sufficiently precise imagination.

She swallows up Alethia's internet too. Om nom nom.

[pythbox]

Okay, says Sue, so I guess now you bring Amariah to Milliways...?

[dark_light]

"Gonna go work on a project, sweeties," Amariah says, planting a kiss on boyfriend and daemon and collecting Path from Petaal. She squares on a set of silks as she gets to her feet. "I'll be back after rescuing a few trillion people from Hell."

Yeah, I'm all set, grab me.

[mind_game]

Yoink!

[pythbox]

"Hi!" says Sue. "Okay, who's next?"

[she_sells_seashells]

"Let's get Golden. She may have been to Eos, or have someone who has - otherwise I don't know how we'll get Stella. We could do without her but I'd rather not."

[autokinetic]

"I get to meet everybody on my first day as part of the greater Bell community, awesome," says Aegis.

[cross_and_bow]

"Yeah, lucky you, I waited forever," laughs Juliet, "I had shit luck."

[mind_game]

Hurry up! I want to eat another Internet. They are delicious.

[she_sells_seashells]

Shell Bell laughs and forces the door to Aurum.

[pythbox]

"It's 'cause of me," Sue says smugly; also, I love you, Jane. You're the cutest Internet-eating ansible person.

[mind_game]

Jane loves him right back!

[luminous_regnant]

Golden, summoned by brainphone, appears.

To Sue, her mind isn't so much walled off or insubstantial as it is not in the correct sphere of existence. He can detect a shadow - she isn't Juliet's absence-of-a-person - but her mind definitely declines to be interacted with.

At Shell Bell's verbal summary, Golden says, "Let's do this, then."

[she_sells_seashells]

"I can presumably get to Samaria just fine, but Eos..."

[dark_light]

"The coins - the mint powers - come from Eos - can we use that?" asks Amariah.

[autokinetic]

"Worth a try, but grab Angela first?"

[she_sells_seashells]

"Yeah."

Door. Hmm, looks like Angela and Micaiah aren't in their quarters right now.
