The Bells are assembled, except the ones missing into the unknown world.
Shell Bell opens her aura up as far as it will go. (Back in Atlantis, Neptune glows with the spillover, snuggled up to Tinia.)
She reaches for the door.
She gets Atlantis.
She tries again and gets Downside.
"It doesn't look like I can get it," she says softly. "It looks like they're stuck until -"
The door opens, again.
"Thank fucking everything," Aegis says, "hello. Aether, Celo - these are - everybody and then some."
"Tab," supplies Tab.
Meanwhile, Glass staggers in the direction of the bathroom. [THAT IS NOT A NICE WORLD.]
[We fucking KNOW,] says Aegis, [how broke is Jane?]
[Very broke,] says Juliet, [tried a tenner, didn't go.]
[I might be able to do something now you're here,] Stella says, [with aura.]

"She's - locally omnipotent, kind of apathetic, willing to let us run her afterlife so she doesn't have to do it, quite amenable to requests."
"That's promising!" says Celo. "I mean, not that I've never been somebody's snack, but usually only when I'm having fun or getting paid or both."

"I did not really need to hear that," says Glass pleasantly. "I'll ask Marianne about hosting your field, how about."
[Marianne, new Bell Aether has a Joker who is magically attached to a field. It's not normally transplantable, but he may be able to learn a template teleportation thing that would allow him to move it. Do you think it would be all right for him to put it in the forest?]

[...In what way is he magically attached to this field?] says Marianne. [How big is it?]
"You didn't?" says Celo, blinking.

"The only reason I'd need that information was if I was thinking of putting you in contact with someone who would eat you. How big is the field?"
[I haven't seen the field, so this is going off what I can see looking at his non-plant-part, but he is the field. If his body's killed, he'll appear in the field - like torching but he moves in the process and I think it's slower. If the field is destroyed so is he.]

"Never mind," says Celo. "Uh, it's - kind of garden-sized, I don't know, I've never measured it. I could walk it out for you if we were outdoors, though."
"Bigger, or I'd just walk it out here," he says. "Like - if you start from this corner, it'd go out past that wall a ways, and out past that one a little less, and there'd be a house just about over there that's not part of it."
[Assuming his field is not significantly larger than the palace, I can find a place for it fairly easily,] says Marianne.

Glass puts herself, Celo, and Aether out in a nice flat place for walking out the dimensions. "If you don't mind."
Celo closes his eyes and thinks, and then he paces the perimeter of a garden that is more or less rectangular and not all that much smaller than the palace, with a bite taken out of one corner where a small house apparently sits.

Glass composes a little diagram of it for Marianne, with dimensions attached, in the text brainphone feature.
[Thank you,] says Marianne. [I wonder if someone should upgrade the brainphone to do pictures? I'll look for somewhere nice to put it.]

[I'll bring it up after things have settled down a bit. Some of the worlds lost a lot of time and there might be other upgrades to propagate before we add anything like that.]
"Marianne is looking for a nice place to put your garden," Glass reports to Celo.

"No idea. Sue doesn't register as magic when I look at him, except for stuff of known provenance like minting and aura. So whatever - moving around thing he does is not something I can help you with the details on."

[Sue's snuggling with Aegis in Peace, I can pass him a message if you like. And, hey, Aether, Amariah wants to talk to you.]
