Lucas blinks.

"Do you know what just happened?"

"Glass can see things about alts and stuff. She discovered earlier that apparently everybody here is in one of two groups, and the Joker came by and named them 'purple' and 'green'. I'm purple. We don't really know anything about them except for who's in which ones, and that people who are alts of each other are always in the same group."

"...Okay. That's very strange."

Permalink

"It is!"

Permalink

"So she's just going around, pointing at people, naming colors."

Permalink

"We have just seen inarguable evidence of that, yes."

Permalink

"Okay then. This is a really strange party. The previous contender for weirdest party I've ever attended was the one where everyone was drunk and singing bawdy lyrics to the tunes of masses."

Ike giggles. "It doesn't really compare, does it."

Permalink

"It doesn't! Even though the songs were highly entertaining. This is - nobody at home who isn't here would get it."

Permalink

"That," says Ike, "is definitely a feature of Bellparties."

"Have you been to a lot of them? Since you know - at least two - Bells personally?"

"This is actually my first one! I have heard about others, but I did not go. And I met Cam here," he adds.

Permalink

"Oh. And you have alts and everything."

Permalink

"I do! I have two alts. But I only really know things about one of them."

Permalink

"Why's that?"

Permalink

"The other one is not in contact with any Bells or anyone Bells know, so all we know about him is that he is in Gift and lives in Toronto and has a Val. And was dead. But then they brought all of Toronto back to life, which included him because that is where he is from."

"...The fact that people can have been dead in the past tense, I'm still not used to."

Permalink

"It is unexpected!" he agrees.

"My mother was - I'd almost call her apologetic - every time she told me a new tidbit about the multiverse. She finds it all overwhelming. She's not even here."

Permalink

"My mother and my father live in different subworlds of the Sunshine worldsheaf, so their tolerance for extradimensional shenanigans is fairly high," he says. "They might even come to a party someday."

Permalink

"...Worldsheaf."

Ike giggles.

"Okay. There are worlds that are separate, like Samaria and Sunshine and Thilanushinyel. But sometimes there are groups of them that are not separate from each other - that have their own internal ways to get from one to another that don't work for traveling outside of that sheaf, and the worlds in the sheaf share the same laws of physics and kinds of magic and so on, at least mostly. Sunshine is a worldsheaf like that, and I think Alethia is too, and I forget if I've heard about any others."

"This is complicated."

Permalink

"It is! It is very that," says Ike.

"How did you get used to it?"
