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.

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

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."

"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."

"Where did Fire go?" wonders Shadow.

"Outside to burn things," says Shine.

"Oh. That makes sense."

"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."

"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."

[just_a_shadow]

"Okay."

He goes out to the yard.

Earth says to Maurabel, "Maybe you can provide a new perspective on how to go about stealing large numbers of amulets."

"There's other universities and that big magic co-op upcountry and what we really need is a copy of the national licensing registry -"

[from_scratch]

Cam hands her a copy of the national licensing registry.

[make_opportunity]

"- thank you, Revelation."

[pythbox]

...Earth laughs.

[make_opportunity]

"This doesn't have addresses, but it has names and there's separate entries for anybody who has more than five or a hybrid -" She starts flipping through it. "Outside the country I'll be less helpful, though, I don't know if they even have things like this."

[pythbox]

"It might be worth checking," says Earth. "If 'the national licensing registry of such-and-such country' is something Revelation can make if it exists."

[from_scratch]

"Go ahead and list me countries, or name me a textbook that has a list, and we'll see what I can do, but vague information like that is sometimes hit or miss."

[make_opportunity]

"Uh - World Political Geography, published by, what was it, Turnstars Books?"

[from_scratch]

"Aaand -" Yep, there is one of it. Revelation starts flipping through it.
