"I don't think libraries are boring," says Rose after a moment.

Permalink

That startles a laugh out of Pattern. "Sure. A library. Gray carpet and green armchairs?"

Permalink

"Phoenix Public Library, I can live with that."

"I bet mine is Samaria," says Micaiah, laughing.

Permalink
"What's mine?" wonders Kas.

The answer is: a composite city, vaguely reminiscent of Queenie's in that way but with smoother transitions, near water but not surrounded by it.
Permalink
Rose starts to describe the city, then gives up and conjures an illusion of it with a square.

Amariah takes her turn next, and she has a forest, full of pine trees like the branch she carries with her.

Shell Bell turns out to have Milliways for a mindscape.

Golden is inaccessible as Juliet and Stella are.

"How 'bout me?" says Ghosty.

The answer is: damn near identical to the Joker's, but from about twenty years further on.

Belle makes an illusion of her version of the city, too.

Kas is still admiring his, with its collected pieces of various cities he's seen and loved.

"Wonder what yours is, sweetheart," says the Joker to Nathan.

Permalink

"Well, let's have a look, can't scare me," says Nathan.

Permalink

"A clock," says Rose, after a moment's investigation.

Permalink

...He cracks up.

Permalink

"Very on-theme," says Nathan approvingly, snickering a little.

Permalink

"Me too, me too!"

Permalink

"You're just as bewildering as Lazarus to look at," Rose remarks. "Hundreds of - colored shapes."

Permalink
The Joker giggles, kisses Nathan, and ruffles the munchkin's hair.

Then he turns to Beast.

"Enough fun with mindscapes?" he inquires.
Permalink
"Mm," says the Beast.

"My love, can they borrow me now?"
Permalink

"Of course." She kisses his cheek.

Permalink
He beams and hugs her.

Sue links up the Jokers, and somebody teleports the group of them to an appropriately sized guest room. The amount of snuggling going on in the ballroom is abruptly diminished.
Permalink

"Hey Sherlocks and Tonies!" calls Shell Bell. "Want to see Rose's party trick? She can tell you what your mindscape looks like!"

Permalink

"All right," says Pearl, as spokes-sherlock. The entire cluster follows her over toward the Bells.

Permalink

Rose laughs and carries on with her party trick. There is somewhat less variance, with many Sherlocks and Tonies turning up the same handful of houses as their mindscapes.

Permalink

All the associated pairs have the same house as their mindscape, even though the details always differ - more attention paid to this room over that, loose objects placed differently. And there are architectural differences between the two different pairs whose mindscapes are the same New York mansion.
