Glass has completed her checklist. She's a mint, with starter coins - an extra-large batch since her Sherlock was unsure about high-output minting - mostly in a sorting wish like the one Aurora has, but with some tucked into her sleeves and her hat, and she knows all about them. She's an enchantress complete with aura, safety information, and (bonus) a copy of Rose's library in a new alternate-opening of her bedroom door. She has a Janegem around her neck and a portable, minimal, no-internet-to-eat Janepoint which she will put somewhere in the castle; Jane has explained herself and she's already tried the getting-someone-out-of-Downside procedure. Speaking of Downside, she can torch, she visited the admin long enough to be awarded the power to make others torchable, and she's already covered her wives and children. She has read the Bellbook, added her information, named herself and her world, and had her pealing party.
The party is now over; Marianne and Howard never returned to it. But they can be caught up on any details they'd like to know. At some point. When they reemerge.
Bella sets the Janepoint in the front entrance hall, on a pedestal in a corner.

"Yeah," says Howard with a grin, "exactly."

"How lost are you on how exactly you came to be alive again?" inquires Bella. "I can fill you in on the details of what's happened."
"I'm... pretty confused," he admits. "But Marianne says you did it using magic from another world and there's no hidden catch. There isn't, right?"

"No. Except insofar as being unable to die twice is a catch," says Bella. "If something happens to you that would kill you, you reset on the spot - it's called torching. Also I'm told that Jane is technically nonmagical, and she doesn't show up to my magic sight, but she's probably easier to think of that way regardless."
"I think being unable to die twice is the opposite of a catch," says Howard.

"Oh, I agree, I'm outfitted with the same thing now, so are the girls and Sherlock and Tony, but it is worth warning about; before my alts took over the afterlife we fetched you from it was a nasty place full of things not suitable for little-Carinna-ears and the torching mechanic was abused."
"Gotcha," says Howard.

"Tales of woe. You know you don't like sad stories," says Bella. She banishes her notes whence they came and picks up her child again. "They make you cry for such a long time."
(Nice dodge.)

"Have you talked to Sherlock and Tony yet? Or seen either of the other girls?" Bella asks her father-in-law.
"Nope."

"Do you want to go find them, or are you not done checking up on how the Skyvault's been doing these eleven years?"
"Not just yet," he says, patting the steel arch fondly.

"All right," laughs Glass. She picks up Carinna. "Well, for reference, the other two are Tanalin and Kiawen, Tanalin has an inch on Kiawen for the time being and Kiawen wears more blue if you can't tell them apart to start with."
"Does that mean they're exactly not twins?" says Howard.

"It means they were conceived at the same time to the same parents but didn't share their real estate and were born a day apart," laughs Bella.

"They're just like twins, except for not being twins," says Carinna.
"Well, that clears that right up."

"Doesn't it just?" laughs Bella, and she strolls back to the castle with Carinna in tow.
