[It seems that perhaps we should speak,] Isibel says to Lycaelon. She wishes him a cup of tea, wherever he is, hovering in the air waiting for him to take it. [Though I confess I do not know where to begin.]
Pop. "Hi, Sandalon, I'm one of Isibel's alts, looking over your template features, don't mind me."
After one deeply curious glance, he appears to take this elven-literally, and commences ignoring her in favour of his neglected carving.

"Yep," says Glass, "that's a Darcy. Should we ask the previously encountered Darcy here or would that even accomplish anything?"
She is definitely the most visually impressive of the five conjured dragons. Tianthonet's symmetrical patchy red-and-gold is striking, Arianna's asymmetrical swirling red-and-white is fascinating, but Sidanar's scales are a deep midnight blue with a pattern of branching white lines that look like lightning.
"A template, apparently, although you're the second one we've encountered. Like me and Sarion are the same template, there's another person from another world who's like you. Only she's a human. And named Darcy."
"She has a magic hammer," says Elspeth, "with which she does heroism."
"You can't pick it up if it doesn't like you," says Elspeth, "and it does lightning, that's all I know, it might do other things."
"Yes," says Glass, after a moment's thought. "Iridescent black is a Lazarus thing - not for this Lazarus, particularly, but for Lazaruses in general - red-and-gold and red-and-white and various forms of gray are things for the respective other templates."
