"I'll go leave notes in the Belltower, for all the good it'll do," says Juliet, and she pops out.

"So me and Beth are going to go hang out and rudely gossip about you guys behind your backs, sound good?" says James.

"Pff," says Aurora. "Yeah, go for it, me and Shell Bell can hang out waiting."

"Great!" says James. She leads Beth away through the bar.

Aurora and Shell Bell sit at the bar, get drinks, are presently joined by Juliet, and all hang out catching up on things that have happened in Rainbow and Sunshine while Jane's been out. Nothing has happened in Atlantis, but there are half-formed thoughts about the possibility of Atlantean princesses at some point in the future, probably following an Atlantean royal wedding.

"You were going to float us," Juliet reminds Agent Honey, when she joins her alts at the bar.

"Thanks!" And Juliet begins her story about how she accidentally inherited demonic minions, and shows off a pretty illusion of her palace on Mercury.

"Oh, that's lovely," says Agent Honey.

"Thanks! This section of plants is from a dimension where everything makes noises if you touch it. It's really loud all together - the animals scream at each other, the wind blows and all the plants sing and they don't care about sounding pretty - but I picked out some stuff that looked nice and made good chords. The minions have been playing with some of the fruits."

"That's adorable," she giggles.

"The most interesting thing that's happened to me since Jane went down is that Brilliance got kidnapped," says Aurora. "I didn't notice for - I don't even know exactly how long, I should check - until I tried to talk to him and he wouldn't answer. It is surprisingly difficult to intimidate confused space pirates with the mere fact of nigh-omnipotence, did you know? I wound up hexing super-strength just so I could pick one up."

"Hey Bar, can we arm-wrestle here or should we take it outside?" laughs Juliet.

A napkin appears bearing the inscription, Outside, please.

"Agent Honey, you're our ride, so if you please," says Juliet, gesturing at the door, "I want to see how hexed generic super-strength stacks up against Slayerishness."

Agent Honey ferries her cargo out to the lake area of Milliways.

Juliet locates the rock on which Nathan and Aianon once arm-wrestled, patches it up, and plants her elbow on it.

"This is silly," asserts Aurora, but she mirrors Juliet, and they wrestle, and Juliet wins.

Agent Honey giggles.

"Want to see the Belltower, Agent Honey?" asks Aurora, gesturing thereat.

Shell Bell's the one who can move independently and knows the place, so she takes on the role of tour guide. The broken Janepoint, the emptied party setup, the extra floors, the Bellbook and associated other books.

"Ooh, books."

"Feel free to read them," says Shell Bell. "The trade secrets don't get written."
