Jane has been out a while. Not that long. It is not yet time to panic; really it wouldn't be anyway, not with everybody in Eos belonging there and everyone belonging there in Eos. Bella is worried, but mostly for social reasons, not practical ones.

At this particular moment in time, Alice happens to be in his lair, curled up in bed with a good book, naked. (It's a really good book.)

Shell Bell's doors do not have failsafes against this eventuality like teleporting!
In walks Shell Bell!
"Eep!"

Alice cracks up and drags a blanket over the problem area.
"Hi!" he giggles. "What's up?"

"Lazarus needs to look at this new Bell and Stella needs to try fixing Jane," says Shell Bell.

"Hi, new Bell," says Alice, waving cheerfully. "Welcome to Eos, sorry you saw my junk."

"Ye-es. Hmm. Gifts seem to be a lot more eye-catching than witchcraft and ingotry," he says. "Your aura features are getting a little drowned out. But I think... one of them's informational, and the other one..." He blinks. "Yes, teleportation. Teleportation and... convenience?

"Er, no haring off to dangerous places for me, thanks," says Lazarus with a quirk of a smile. "Call me if you need some magic identified."

"And I am gonna go somewhere with fewer doors and get back into my book," says Alice. "Have fun, guys!"
