Author: self_composed	Bella spends the first ten minutes after Jane misses a scheduled filtered-email-dump staring at the Janepoint, flaring aura at it, willing it to work. This is what her aura is supposed to do, right, make electronics work? It doesn't help. Nor does wishing. She sends a general announcement to her staff and Alice: [Jane broke. I don't know how, but I can't fix it. She could come back at any time. Till then we're back to the door standard. Please let me know instantly if you do find a door.]
Author: edgeofyourseat	[Well, shit,] says Alice. [Will do, I guess.]
Author: self_composed	[Thanks.]
Author: edgeofyourseat	[I love you,] he adds, because he does.
Author: self_composed	[I love you too.] And, [Gosh, it is amazing how claustrophobic the entire universe can feel after I got used to having the run of dozens.]
Author: edgeofyourseat	He teleports to her vicinity and gives her a hug.
Author: self_composed	Hugs! Hugs are not claustrophobic.
Author: edgeofyourseat	Hugs are huggy!
Author: self_composed	They are! Huggy hugful hugs.
Author: edgeofyourseat	Huggy snuggly cuddly hugs!
Author: self_composed	Yup. Those things.
Author: edgeofyourseat	Mmmmm. Hugs.
