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.

"Oh, it was annoying so I got Kisonde to summon me for the language. If you summon a demon they get your languages. We'll need Milliways or Promise's 'just plain speaking' for deciphering the registries of countries that don't share your language, though."

Shadow returns, trailing miscellaneous elementals.

"A bunch of us want to go see Fairyland," he reports.

"All right, here you go." Revelation holds the door to his Hellhouse.

Shadow commences ferrying people to Fairyland. (It turns out he does not need a blanket to transport a Shine, if they turn their halo down as low as possible.)

And when the batch has all gone, Cam closes the door again. "Where are we hitting first? Also, I want to issue everybody involved nice long-distance walkie-talkies and find out if those work while we're shadow-walking." He tucks one behind his ear and hands one to Promise and offers Shadow one.

Shadow takes the mysterious object and looks at it. "What's this do?"

"If you flick this switch, it'll pick up whatever you say and the other people who have them will hear you. So if we get split up or something happens and we need to bail we can know about it."

"Oh."

He walks into a shadow with it.

"Does the thing work?"

[from_scratch]

"Yes! Hurray."

[just_a_shadow]

He walks back out of the shadow. "Well, that's convenient."

And lo, many millions of elementals were extremely stolen.
