[Hey, Giles!]
[And this was after we walked into Alice's lair and he was stark naked, so Shell Bell just said 'not again', and we didn't find out he was even a you - I thought he looked sorta familiar but I didn't quite get it - until Glass asked me 'why I was looking at Pattern's Rupert like that'.]
[Maybe. He didn't tell Pattern he was ever called Rupert Giles - I'm assuming it's 'Giles' since he reacted to that more than 'Merryweather' - and I'm not sure exactly when she acquired him but it could have been as long as sixteen years ago, Origin was out for a while.]
[It might be a while. Sarion was split up from her sweethearts for sixteen years, since they were in Origin doing Cronian ecoforming when Jane crashed. That's getting fixed, by the by, she's getting her own body that isn't in Aegis and it will live nice and safe in the Belltower. And I don't know how long Syntropy and Alethia and Peace were out.]
[Found alts of you guys. Two sets, actually, although I only spoke to one, the others were dead and are waiting for their local Bell to have someplace to put them. The ones I met are a duke and duchess's kids in a fairytale kinda world called Chronicle. Also they are fire-witches, and the Val fell into a magic spring and can do something strikingly similar to iethat. They are friends with that local Bell's three daughters.]
[A kind of Chronicle magic user. Involves fire - the three daughters have a little bit of fire witch in them and apparently like to play with hot glass and metal - full fire witches also invariably have red hair and they can also know things about stuff by touching it.]
