The suite's front door opens.

"New Bells!" says a cheerful voice. "Hi, new Bells! Hi, —holy shit vampire Sherry."

"Hello, Tony," he murmurs, looking away and keeping very still.

"Hi again, Tony," says Shell Bell. "I'm pretty sure Juliet wouldn't hang out with him if he were an asshole people-eating version of himself. At least currently. My Sherlock thought when I asked her that this one would want to meet you, it's good you're here!"

"How could you tell by looking? I can't even tell by looking and I'm supposed to be able to tell by magic," mutters Juliet, releasing her Sherlock from the hug in case he wants to hug Tony instead.

"I don't know," he says, "I just—Sherry, are you okay?"

Permalink

"Not particularly."

Permalink

"Dammit," Tony sighs, and hugs him.

Permalink
Hesitantly, Sherlock hugs back.

"Half of the aforementioned dead family," he says, mostly for Golden's benefit.

"I suspected," Golden murmurs.

"This one has a Jarvis at home," Shell Bell says tentatively.

He hugs Tony a little tighter.

"Hey," he says gently, "kinda squishy over here." Then he sighs. "Jarvis too, huh?"

Permalink
He un-clings a little. Just a little.

"Jarvis too."

"Amariah said Jarvis is an AI," says Juliet. "Forgive me if this is rude, but is there any possibility of - copying him and bringing one back to Sunshine with us?"

"I don't have big coins but I can do squares, squares can conjure nonmagical objects," pipes up Shell Bell.

"...We can ask," says Tony, pulling back some to look at Sherlock's face. "You wanna go ask?"

Permalink
For purely psychological reasons, he takes a deep breath.

"Yes."

"You'd need somewhere to put him, though," Tony muses. "Do you have a house? I bet you don't have a house. Um, Bell-over-there?" he says, addressing Juliet. "Do you have a house? That we can... extensively remodel?"

"Sherlock named me Juliet because at one point we had a conversation through my window, I'm sticking with it," says Juliet. "And that one's Golden. I live in Charlie's house, which I don't really expect him to be willing to remodel, but there's a fair number of abandoned buildings in Sunnydale, maybe Shell Bell could conjure up stuff to pawn and I could buy one on the cheap and we can remodel it by magic?"

Permalink

"Sure," he says.

Permalink

"I expect that will work," says Sherlock. "Although it might take some time."

Permalink

"How much time are you thinking? Not everyone's as comfortable with roughing it as Amariah, so if a lot of that is time spent Sunshine-side it could get awkward," muses Juliet.

Permalink

"To buy an abandoned building? I'm not sure, I've never done it before. But I expect it'll be more than a day."

Permalink

"Possibly. Although a lot of stuff operates so very sketchily in Sunnydale I wouldn't be astonished if we could get it done faster."

Permalink

"What time is it there now?"
