"Helios it is."

"What's mine, then? Apollo? Ra?"

"Whatever you'd like to call it, although we are doing a sort of a theme so something like that would be ideal. I wonder why there's this entire family of worlds with the same kind of vampire and magic and whatnot. And Sherlocks everywhere. No two Bells are from worlds more similar than both being Earths at around the same time."

"We Sherlocks do seem to cluster more closely," Minus agrees.

"Except Shell Bell's, who's as far off from you guys as Shell Bell is from me. Farther. Nonmagical world, she's a girl, she's actually her Tony's twin, there's no Jarvis. Weird."

"True," he muses.

"Maybe one day Alice will make Stella a coin so big that she can unravel all the secrets of the multiverse, and she'll share," snorts Juliet.

He laughs.

"Anyway. Jarvis, since you are effectively immune to addiction and you don't do invocations is there any further reason for you to be cautious about magic-doing?"

"Not especially, but it is a little more difficult for me because I have no way to manage most of the physical requirements."

"Is collaborative casting a thing?" Juliet asks.

"Not universally."

"What does that mean?"

"It means it is varyingly possible, with varying effectiveness, across the different traditions I have researched."

"Huh. Well, that's something to look into. Giles, do you know anything about it?" Bella asks.

"Enough to support his analysis."

"Mkay. Well. Time for me to go home and decline nouns until I can't keep my eyes open," says Bella, and she heads for the door.
