Bella is hanging out in the Jarvis-house when there is a loud beeping.

"Jarvis?" she asks. "Are you beeping?"

"I am not beeping," says Jarvis. "It appears Jane has lost her ansible connection."

"...Well," says Juliet, "do we know when it will be back?"

Permalink

"We do not. Shall I open a door to Milliways?"

Permalink
"Yeah, thanks, I'll go see if -"

Bella pauses.

"Sherlock's in Alethia. And we were pretty sure that only Jane was keeping all our time synced up."

"True," says Jarvis. "Oh, dear."

"I'll see if going to Milliways fixes my necklace and if it doesn't I'm just forcing the door directly there." And she teleports rather than crossing the room to the nearest door and pulls it open.

Jarvis ensures that it opens to Milliways.

Shell Bell's there a step ahead of Juliet.

"You too?" she asks.

"Can you door to Alethia? My Sherlock was visiting," says Juliet, nodding.

Permalink
"Oh boy. Of course," says Shell Bell, and she turns around to face the door again.

She flares aura, and thinks of Alethia, and opens the door to Amariah's basement.

"Amariah!" she yells.

"Sherlock!" calls Juliet, hanging back; no point wasting a star to go through to the world without making herself a daemon if they're within earshot.

Sherlock appears in front of Juliet and hugs her.

Permalink
Hugs!

"How long were you stuck?" she murmurs.
Permalink

"Six weeks, three days, two hours, eleven seconds," he says into her shoulder. "I missed you terribly. And you should put the word out - daemonlessness wishes wear off after about a week."

Permalink

Juliet squeezes him tight. "They - they do?"

Permalink

"Yeah," says Amariah, coming down the stairs. "Hi, guys. Is this the first place you went?"

Permalink

"Yeah, me and Juliet can get to Milliways without Jane anytime, we ran into each other, she told me Minus was here, I doored here - my Sherlock is checking the Belltower -" [Sherlock, how's the Belltower Janepoint?]

Permalink

[Disconnected.]

Permalink

[Damn.]

Permalink

"They wear off and then - like Sue and Ivy?" Juliet says slowly.

Permalink

"Well," Amariah says, "Ivy was - deliberate."

Permalink

"...Is there something wrong, though, somebody tell me."

Permalink

"My daemon hates herself and wishes she didn't exist."

Permalink

Juliet relaxes her hold on him briefly for the sole purpose of being able to squeeze him harder again without actually breaking anything.

[Don't push him about her, it's - bad,] Amariah adds privately to Juliet.
