Zoom! Zoooooooom! Zoom.

"Wheeeeeee!"

"How much fun can it be when you're a staff?" asks Bella, doing a barrel roll. "Like, I'm mostly getting - wind and vestibular stuff - do you get that?"

"I get - different stuff," he says.

"Indescribable device stuff?"

"I guess," he snorts.

"Oh well." Zoom!

Whee.

Eventually Bella yawns. "I have no idea what time it is on the west coast of North America, but it's probably about time I went home to bed, I'm probably keeping Lexi up," she sighs, coming in for a landing on the mixed-up sand; they've flown well past her sorted rainbow and her disks and her sandcastle.

"Okay," he says agreeably. "Where do you wanna transfer back to?"

"...Hmm, I wonder if I can magephone Lexi from this distance, warn her, she'd be startled if we appeared right where she was. Am I risking a mana catastrophe if I try?"

"Yeah, if you wanna do that I'd transfer to - damn, you can't really transfer to an asteroid," he sighs. "But somewhere in the same dimension, first. Then warn her and teleport in."

"How about that random forest we fought in?" suggests Bella after a moment. "Probably not being observed. ...This planet is not in my native dimension, huh?"

+Hey Lexi!+

+Hey, what's up, it's late,+ replies Lexi.

+Yeah, I know, on my way home, where can I pop in that won't startle you?+

+Living room's fine, me and Dad are both upstairs.+

+See you in a sec.+

Brilliance teleports them - noticeably faster and less flashy - and reverts to his deck form.

Bella tucks him into the bookshelf. "G'night!"

"G'night," says Brilliance.
