Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:

an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

"Maybe! Can check when finding everybody, Peace Downsides fine."

[whatamithinking]

"Downside's your afterlife, right?"

[campanas]

"Yeah. Jane can go looking in for Emilies and Edies."

[whatamithinking]

"Cool."
"...And maybe our parents too, even if they don't find us. I can...pretty easily imagine a world where they existed but we didn't. Not necessarily a pretty one, but still."

[campanas]

"Sure."

[whatamithinking]

"...Odd question. How are your magic future worlds on homosexuality?"

[campanas]

"Worlds or, like, party people?"

[whatamithinking]

"Depends. What does party people mean?"

[campanas]

"People who going to parties Mommies throwing. Last one first I go to and in a space plant in can't pronounce world! So big!"

[whatamithinking]

"So the people with the magic?"

[campanas]

"No-o, lots people having magic just because they have worlds with lots."

[whatamithinking]

"But they're the ones who have alot of magic because they have consistent interworld travel, because Milliways and Jane, and who would have gotten most of your social cues from."

[campanas]

"Actually Jane having accident most entire time I existing so we stuck in Samaria then. Only fix again a little while ago. Mostly knowing things from bedtime stories, then finding out all true."

[whatamithinking]

"Hunh.
...Well, yes, I think I meant the party people."

[campanas]

"What was question about party people, again?"

[whatamithinking]

"I was wondering whether the enlightened future-people still had a problem with homosexuality."

[campanas]

"...Well, nobody telling me what ones Daddies doing in the one room but if they baking cookies they don't share."

[whatamithinking]

"...Ones Daddies? ...Your father and...other versions of him?"

[campanas]

"Mm-hm. Annnnd Glass married princesses. Two of them. And the one Mommy who a boy have a one Daddy who also a boy. Well, a Daddy, but a boy Daddy? Is complicated. And a one Daddy who a girl, like, shaped, I mean, and her one Mommy also a girl. And there another one Daddy who not together with a Mommy, with that one guy instead, and he a boy. But sometimes that one Daddy a girl. Because magic. And there a one Daddy who a girl for a little bit, and then a wolf did a wolf thing. A boy wolf. The wolf thing still a thing after stopped being girl, too. Probably forgetting stuff. There a lot of party people."

[whatamithinking]

"Sounds like it."

'Edie, what are you doing!?' Emily transmits.

[whatamithinking]

'Emily, there's no way we could keep it secret from an inter-universal cabal of magic users, especially if we start asking favors like 'please raise my grandmother from the dead.' Better to say it now, and if they don't like it they don't like it, than to piss them off by lying to them.'

[iamnotpolaris]

'...I trust your judgement, I suppose.'

[whatamithinking]

"Most of the mutant stuff is public," Edie explains out loud to Pen. "But there are things we still usually keep secret. A lot of mutants have physiological changes, like Warren's wings that Emily told you about, or Ororo's white hair and the Professor's sister's blue skin. I don't know if you're familiar with the phenomenon if you've only been in your own world most of your life...anyway. Emily and I are actually sisters. Our parents are...technically hermaphrodites, I guess? Medically, anyway--they look like men to any external examination, and neither would identify as anything else, but. Normally we don't admit to people who aren't part of the school that we're sisters, and it gets...wearing."

[campanas]

"Okay. Secret," nods Pen. "You each pick a daddy for keeping not secret?"
