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.

(Meanwhile, Tony is chatting happily with Jane.)

Sherlock appears when summoned.

"We've figured out how to move from place to place without waiting for Milliways," murmurs Shell Bell, "and got everybody together, but Stella's precog says whatever happens I'm not going to have a fun time of it, even though I'm just sitting here to hold the door and bail them out if necessary. Will you stay with me?"

"Link Sherlock up too, Sue," suggests Juliet.

[sicaria]

"Of course," she says, hugging Shell Bell.

[arenaria]

Hugs!

"What else, before Aegis and Amariah go in, can anyone else think of anything?"

[autokinetic]

Heads shake.

Aegis looks at Amariah, and they go in, and they wish to be undetectable by the admin.

[ending_of]

It does not work.

[autokinetic]

Nothing doing, not even an arrow'll go. Catacombs for us, says Aegis. We want Bells, Charlies, Renées, Sues - Whistles? - Sherlocks, Tonies, who else?

[cross_and_bow]

Jameses, Gileses.

[self_composed]

Lazaruses, Marys, Annas, Sandys, Kolyas, Bridgets.

[jovahs_heiress]

Angela hesitates, but says, Nathaniels, but be careful. Serahs, Alleluias, Calebs, Delilahs.

[luminous_regnant]

Golden lists a great many extended family and friends.

[autokinetic]

Aegis nods. She looks to Amariah. You can drive. I don't wanna split us up.

[jovahs_heiress]

Angela and Golden go next. They can't teleport directly Upside, but they can wish to be able to, and do.

[self_composed]

Stella, Juliet, and Nathan are the next party. "Who's first?"

[temporal_affairs]

"Let's go see Eights, and go from there," says Nathan.
