barring emergencies

[the_very_best]

Bella's not sure where she has wandered. She thought she was about to walk into a shop, but this appears to be an unattended bar. With none of the windows associated with the shop she thought she was entering. It could be an elaborate psychic assault of some kind, but it doesn't feel very... assault-y... and she was in the middle of a town and doesn't think any humans want to sic their 'mon on her. It's strange. She approaches the bar, looking around warily, hand hovering near her belt.

"Well, you can check it out some other time, then, I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that you can't get all the way to my world with your magic."

[just_a_shadow]

"Do you think she read the note yet? Should I check?"

[from_scratch]

"Go ahead and check."

[make_opportunity]

Well, she seems to be looking at the note, but only intermittently. She has set her book aside and is peering around the room from her bed.

[just_a_shadow]

"She's looking at the note and then around and then at the note again," says Shadow. "Should we go there?"

[from_scratch]

"Yep."

[just_a_shadow]

And now they are there. Still invisible.

[from_scratch]

"Hey you. Come up with a usable nickname yet?"

[make_opportunity]

"Uh. Nothing good. Call me Twist for now. Uh, you're invisible?"

[from_scratch]

"Twist it is. We are invisible, but we can stop that if you wanna come hang out someplace less hazardous for me and this Shadow here."

[make_opportunity]

"Yyyyeah sure I want to hear the rest of the story." She holds out her hand.

[just_a_shadow]

Shadow takes it. Off they go.

They emerge inside of Milliways, next to where Earth is holding the door and Shine and Dust and Kisonde and Promise are standing around.

Dust looks at them. "That's interesting," she says, and Shadow and Revelation fade into visibility.

[make_opportunity]

"...hi, guys, what's going on?"

[from_scratch]

"Aren't you glad they like you?"

[make_opportunity]

"Yyyyes."

[just_a_shadow]

"Have I seen you before?" wonders Dust. "I haven't paying attention."

"To what?" asks Shadow.

"To much of anything."

[make_opportunity]

"Well, I recognize you, but I don't think I ever worked with you. I'm enrolled in the school that. I'm going to say 'owned' past tense. You. And him and her." She points at Earth and Shine.

"Hi. Wow, you do look just like me, don't you, only taller and no wings. What are we calling you?"

[make_opportunity]

"Twist, unless I think of something better."

[just_a_shadow]

"Where did Fire go?" wonders Shadow.

"Outside to burn things," says Shine.

"Oh. That makes sense."

[make_opportunity]

"So... some elementals found the bar and you guys jailbroke them because you don't have my legal consequences or mortality problems," Maurabel says.

[from_scratch]

"Specifically Promise made Kisonde do it, because Kisonde's a human and can do your kinda magic, whereas I can only do demon magic and Promise can only do her fairy things plus sorcery that doesn't work outside her world. And the elementals said they wouldn't hurt Kisonde and in fact did not. You can do the rest of 'em if you want."

[make_opportunity]

"I'd rather not get caught at it, but if it's in here and all I'm doing is breaking the amulets and not swiping 'em, yes please."

[just_a_shadow]

"Should I be bringing a bunch of elementals to Fairyland at some point?" wonders Shadow.

[from_scratch]

"If you want to go see if there's a batch ready to move in there I will happily hold the door for you."
