"She'll be much less excited, but if I were her I'd appreciate being kept in the loop. Also about the 'wizards can become witches' part."

"Which is admittedly real damn exciting. I guess possibly we should ask Lucasta how many of those we can do." Is there a portal to the stranded clothes now?

There is a portal to Antarctica.

Yes, yes, airlock protocols, thank you. Through they go.

Brrr.

The airlock protocols are SO IMPORTANT. No mals are going to get anywhere near her three-year-old. Portal back to Arcadia. 

May plucks her clothes from the grasp of her servant construct and sorts through them and presents Bella with a pile of them. She retains a few shirts to put on her servant constructs so they will be less invisible, it's really past time she got around to that anyway.

(Dial dial dial "Hi, Aadhya! This is Jaromira from Atlanta.")

"Hi Jaromira, what's up?"

"Bella has a doppelganger and wizards can become witches."

"Oh wow! Her doppelganger figured out how to do that?"

Giggle. "No, that was actually the doppelganger of Lucy Warren, we ended up picking up her and her brother after you left."

"Also cool! How's it work?"

"Lucy's doppelganger is a goddess and she can divinely bestow her warlock patronage on people who didn't otherwise have the potential to become witches."

"Is this a limited offer, or can she just do that for anybody?"

"I think she can do that for anybody but if any terms and conditions apply I'm not sure Bella and Lucy would have mentioned it in between squeeing about how cool being a witch is. I haven't done it myself yet."

"Well, put me on the waiting list, but maybe not this week, I assume I'd have to go to witch school and I don't especially want to do that right now."

"That's so fair. I thought you'd like to be kept in the loop, though."

"I do appreciate that."

"I'll let you know if anything else important happens. Or someone else will! Oh, much less important but deeply gossip-worthy, Bella's doppelganger is bisexual and Caio and my brother are vying for her attention."

"Oh no, poor boys, what are they going to do, competitive sonnet-writing?"

"Caio is stealing his dad's clothes to dress up nicely and Kanimir is composing a powerpoint presentation in his head."

"...I want a copy of his powerpoint presentation."

"I will steal it for you!"

"Thank you! - ooh I have a mango lassi calling my name, anything else real quick?"
