"True. Plenty of sad things have happened in my world too." Snuggle! "They should quit that."

"Seems to be the - Bell manifesto, doesn't it?"

Permalink

"Yes. That is a good thing about Bells."

Permalink

"That and these interesting parties they throw."

Permalink

"Those too!" (Snuggle.)

(This is a very snuggly picking-up.)

"How did you meet Juliet, anyway?"
Permalink

"Oh, she came to our house because she was looking for part-demons using magic."

Permalink

"Why?"

Permalink

"Bell reasons," he summarizes. "I guess she wanted us to introduce her to our Sessiaki relatives and show her around Siathe and stuff. Which we did, and it was okay."

Permalink

"I have... no frame of reference at all, for being half demon and being able to show a Bell around a place she hasn't been."

Ike giggles.

"I mean, angels are relatively exotic, there aren't that many of us, but the Archangel-Elect lived at Monteverde for a year once working with Linus - he's the current Archangel."

Permalink

"Juliet was the Slayer for a while - that is a legendary sort of thing to be, among demons anyway. Now she's just meddlesome. But in a good way!"

Permalink

"What's a Slayer?"

Permalink

"A... magic... legendary... person. There is one of them at a time and she has superpowers and beats up evil things."

Permalink

"Are there any Bells whose own worlds don't frame them as special according to local - ideas of specialness? I heard somebody saying that the one who's hosting this party is a saint."

Permalink

"I suspect that in cases where they are not already special in some way, they arrange to be," says Ike.

Permalink

"Yeah, there's that," snorts Lucas. "I'm not actually sure if Isabella was already going to be the next Archangel or if she arranged it."

Permalink

"Well, what's the difference?"

Permalink

"The spaceship does what she says now, but it used to pick Archangels by itself," explains Lucas. "I don't know if it had picked her out before, or if she had to tell it to pick her."

Permalink

"Oh. Yes, there's that," he says. "You could always ask, I guess."

Permalink

"It would be a kind of presumptuous question! And I still don't really know her."

Permalink

"I could ask Juliet," he says.

Permalink

"Would she know? I'm not clear on how much they talk to each other about that kind of thing. Also there was something to do with time going on that I don't understand."

Permalink

"If she doesn't know, I'm sure she can find out!"
