Time has passed.

Inconsistently.

Jane's network has kept all the Bells' worlds - and every other world with a Janepoint stuck in due to its being attached to Downside - in temporal sync, but when Jane spluttered for just a moment, that was shot to hell.

Peace lost three seconds, because it was where Aegis torched; after that process was complete, Jane was there again. And as soon as a door between Peace and Milliways appeared, she could sync to her ansible hub in the Belltower and, from there, to everywhere else.

Atlantis and Sunshine each stand at about a minute apiece: Shell Bell's aura and Juliet's local copy of Jarvis both enabled them to get to Milliways immediately, pausing their homeworlds as standard for occasions when someone walks into the bar. Shell Bell's the one who connected Peace.

Everyone else was running on luck.

Luckiest is Rainbow, which lost only five hours.

Next is Alethia; in spite of Sherlock's mishap, it's fared reasonably well, spending only six weeks isolated.

Syntropy's just a little worse - seven weeks.

Origin waited two months.

Eos waited three.

Thilanushinyel, ten.

Everyone else is out a decade at least. Samaria's ten years, almost ten and a half.

Aurum is out eleven.

Rêverie has been separated for sixteen years.

All the Bells - and Elspeth, who was stuck in Downside for a day and a half on her end and whose mother was very upset - are collected in the Belltower, as are two Bell-attached Sherlocks who happened to be along for the ride. They all memorize this list of numbers. Aegis replaces her earpiece. And then they all go home to notify their loved ones and staff that there's a party cooking in the Belltower.

(Shell Bell, who has no particular cause on her own account to be distressed, sends her Sherlock to invite Tony in while she refits the Belltower to suit a party of a peal of Bells and their larger-than-last-encountered families and circles of friends.)

Elspeth, repatriated, smothered in parental hugs, with a newly awakened wolf who missed as much time at home as she did close at her heels, and generally just a bit overwhelmed, is hanging out over there.

Aedyt... meant to go up and say hi, she really did.

But then she discovered that actually it's kind of difficult to go up and say hi to somebody you've been hearing about all your life who is guaranteed to have no idea who you are. So she's just kind of hanging out over here and maybe staring a little.

"That half-vamp over there is staring at you," Jacob murmurs in Elspeth's ear.

Elspeth turns in Aedyt's direction and tilts her head and waves.

Who're you? Elspeth sends at her. I've missed a lot, even though it's been less than two days for me.

"Hi! It's nice to meet you. I'm Elspeth."

Elspeth laughs. "I do that. I have the highlightiest highlights of what I missed, but obviously I haven't been filled in on everything, what else is threatening to surprise me?"

"I don't know her majesty that well," says Aedyt. "I've seen her around a few times, that's all. But every time somebody comes to pick up coins from Mum, he asks how she is, and the answer's mostly 'okay, she's dealing'. Does... that help?"
her_imperial_radiance: (no comment)
Author: her_imperial_radiance
"I guess. I mean, you could've described her as 'okay, she's dealing' when she thought Dad was dead, so I was hoping for an upgrade when it was me instead and I was just stranded... But yeah, it helps."

Elspeth lifts her head to listen to one of the myriad party conversations ongoing.

"Sorry, I have some input on that discussion over there," she says, pointing to a cluster of Bells and Tonies and one Sherlock who is rather firmly attached to his Bell and his Tony. "I'll see you around, I'm sure!"

"Okay. Bye," says Aedyt.

Author: her_imperial_radiance
Elspeth (Jake following) insinuates herself into the discussion about networking Jarvises for redundant time-syncing, as Yggdrasil, Sunshine, Helios, and Apollo didn't lose any significant time relative to Peace's baseline.

"The admin," she volunteers, "said while I was there that if Jane had died, she would show up Downside eventually. I bet she could get the original Sunshine Jarvis too."

"Okay." Juliet runs through her mental map, and says, "Jane, drop us three in Sunshine, please."

Jane does.

Juliet teleports to a vacant lot on the outskirts of Sunnydale.

"Suits?" she asks Sherlock and Tony.

"Yeah," says Tony. "Can Jane deal with the, like, ground...?"

[...One sec.]

[Sherlock, Tony, Jane says she found "something in an unbelled world that may concern the peal", you want to catch this Jarvis up yourselves and then meet me at the Belltower?]
