Pattern has gone through all the worlds that are hooked up to Downside and installed Janepoints and checked for Bells everywhichwhere. There have been no new Bells since Rose, and Rêverie wasn't hooked up to Downside before anyway.
Pattern has returned home, and reintroduced herself to her parents with much weeping and hugging and explanations, and she is sort of living with Charlie again (Renée's Jacksonville place does not have a room set up for her).
But she's also made herself a pretty palace on Titan. She has deliberately not matched the Atlantis or Eos palaces, nor any of the capitol compounds on Aurum. Her palace is a spiral-twist tower of pale lapis lazuli and surrounded by a dense and ivied garden of magically blued plants and water features bubbling up out of kyanite structures. She's apparently picked a theme color and run with it, although not everything is blue (there is trim in white agate framing the windows and the edges of the outer spiral wall, and a stripe of pale jade waterfalling down one side; only the traditionally green parts of her plants have been blued, so the flowers and the resident hummingbirds and butterflies are every color).
This palace (she calls it "Tethys", after an aquatic Titaness) - specifically the open bottom floor, which has more than enough room to host a Bellparty if Pattern is ever called upon to do so even if the peal and its associated escorts quadruple in size - is where everyone will be meeting before descending upon Saturn above/below to enchant it into a habitable colony world.
She conjures up a big whiteboard with the spells she and Sandy have worked out and a division arrangement so no one is enchanting on top of each other, and she tells Jane to tell everyone that she's ready to receive them.

"It's a cute little place," he says, "but not really that interesting, nah. Which reminds me, I wanted to bring Nate."

[Or anything else that isn't Jane. I'm Jane. I named myself,] Jane says. [Nathan's incoming.]

Meanwhile, Pattern sends her various counterparts goodbye; they thank each other for, respectively, enchantments done and enchanting to do, and the Bells all go home, and presumably Eights does too unless she wants to nap in a Tethys spare bedroom first.

When Nathan arrives on the asteroid, the Joker is in the middle of a pile of himselves on the grass outside his tiny house.
"Sweetie!" he says. "Snuggle me, I want snuggles."
"Sweetie!" he says. "Snuggle me, I want snuggles."

"Mmm, it was fun," he says. "We haven't done our half yet, everybody's too wrecked from all that channeling."
