Time has passed.
Inconsistently.
Jane's network has kept all the Bells' worlds - and every other world with a Janepoint stuck in due to its being attached to Downside - in temporal sync, but when Jane spluttered for just a moment, that was shot to hell.
Peace lost three seconds, because it was where Aegis torched; after that process was complete, Jane was there again. And as soon as a door between Peace and Milliways appeared, she could sync to her ansible hub in the Belltower and, from there, to everywhere else.
Atlantis and Sunshine each stand at about a minute apiece: Shell Bell's aura and Juliet's local copy of Jarvis both enabled them to get to Milliways immediately, pausing their homeworlds as standard for occasions when someone walks into the bar. Shell Bell's the one who connected Peace.
Everyone else was running on luck.
Luckiest is Rainbow, which lost only five hours.
Next is Alethia; in spite of Sherlock's mishap, it's fared reasonably well, spending only six weeks isolated.
Syntropy's just a little worse - seven weeks.
Origin waited two months.
Eos waited three.
Thilanushinyel, ten.
Everyone else is out a decade at least. Samaria's ten years, almost ten and a half.
Aurum is out eleven.
Rêverie has been separated for sixteen years.
All the Bells - and Elspeth, who was stuck in Downside for a day and a half on her end and whose mother was very upset - are collected in the Belltower, as are two Bell-attached Sherlocks who happened to be along for the ride. They all memorize this list of numbers. Aegis replaces her earpiece. And then they all go home to notify their loved ones and staff that there's a party cooking in the Belltower.
(Shell Bell, who has no particular cause on her own account to be distressed, sends her Sherlock to invite Tony in while she refits the Belltower to suit a party of a peal of Bells and their larger-than-last-encountered families and circles of friends.)

[Alice, Lazarus, Libby, Anna, Sandy, assorted personnel,] says Stella to the named persons and assorted personnel, [Jane's up again. Party in the Belltower, come one come all!]

[Awesome, let's go.] Stella fetches the respondents and off they go.

Sarion pops back into Thilanushinyel after the brief base-touching meeting to broadcast to her beloveds that Jane can reach them once again and they may attend a party in the Belltower. As an afterthought, she invites Liselen again. And Magania, though she has little hope of the latter accepting.
So would Liselen.
Magania declines with the utmost politeness.

Worlds with networked Jarvises have lost only about a minute relative to Jane, but she invites the corresponding Tonies and Sherlocks anyway, including Iron Man, and also Darcy from his world.
Stray Matilda's world has lost about a year; there is no accumulation of hysterical email messages or anything so Jane presumes that the handful of people there who knew about her weren't too upset by her absence. That Matilda gets an invite too. [Your alt from Syntropy's there,] Jane adds.
