Jane has finally been updated in all of the "extra" worlds with no Bells, Jarvises, or other routine visitors to the peal, and she is conducting template sweeps in them.
[Hey,] she tells all the Jokers and all the Bells. [There's a Joker in world number twelve who wasn't there before I crashed. Can't find him online at all, though.]

"I should leave for my meeting soon. It's scheduled to take an hour, and could run a little over or under. I can leave you here or bring you somewhere else. Jane can get me if something comes up, or I could get one of my grandparents to watch you. What do you prefer?"

"The island comes to mind. For such a short period of time the active capital might be okay, too, although since your alts expect you to run around pushing people's buttons and destroying property it might not be a good risk."

"Well, here is boring," he says, looking around. "I don't wanna be stuck here for an hour."

"All right. I can take you down to the island." Elspeth holds out her hand invitingly in his direction, mostly to see if he'll take it.

"Okay." She drops her hand, and teleports them without that signifier.
The island on which her parents spent their honeymoon is mostly covered with tropical plants, with an attractive house perched on it near the beach. Elspeth spends a coin to fill the kitchen with human food, with reference to what the Québec house tended to contain after Harley restocked. "The kitchen's full," she tells Felicity. "You have the run of the place." [You can contact me like this if you need anything.]
There aren't currently any boats docked here.

Elspeth smiles back. "I'll be back in about an hour. Jacob is going to wait until I'm around to introduce him before he turns up."
It's not a mansion, but it's spacious and gorgeously designed - big windows, lots of exposed pale-stained wood and some marble, all on one floor, long sprawling floor plan so every room has at least two directions of natural light. The front door doesn't have a lock, but the doors to the bedrooms do. There are two bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and a walk-in closet, one done up in white and yellow and the other in blue and lavender. The kitchen hasn't actually been used for years, but now there's fruit in a bowl on the warmer (it may or may not be immediately recognizeable as the higher-tech equivalent of a 'microwave', though the stove, oven, and fridge still look about like instances of those things as long as he doesn't actually touch the fridge door to turn it transparent). If he goes out the back door, there's not really a yard, but there are artful flagstone lines that lead to points of interest on the island - there's a freshwater swimming hole, and a spiraling path up to the top of the hill, and a walk through some of the more interesting plants.

Of course he touches the fridge door.
He spends a while in the kitchen, investigating everything, and then grabs some fruit and takes it with him while he explores.
