Linya and Bella are working on wishes, in between light chat about runecasting and their personal lives. It is radiantly obvious to people paying attention that Bella wants to kiss her and Linya is married, although neither statement is made.
Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.
And -

"I don't think we have actually encountered any cases of a single world having several of someone. Perhaps Jann meant to ask if there are people who look like you. Who might be alts of Miles or Mark. For that matter, if you have met anyone who looks like us over here we'd love to add to the party."

"And I'd love to answer your questions, just as soon as someone deigns to let me know what in the wastes is going on here."

"Interdimensional bar. Steals doors. Temporarily. It's on a your-face kick, witness how many of your face there are. That's, let me see if I remember you all - that's Miles, other Mileses, meaning people with the same personality from other places, include -" She's pointing. "Stalas, Mial, Milo, and Solvei when she's being Solvei. Miles's clone Mark, who is an alt of Solvei-when-she's-not-being-Solvei. Some of the Mileses have Ivans. Those are them. Ivan is Miles's and Aurin is Mial's and Jann is Milo's. Wave, Ivans." Ivans wave agreeably. "And over here I'm Solvei's fake girlfriend and Linyabel is Miles's real wife. Questions?"

He absorbs this information, thinks for a few seconds, then asks: "How temporary is temporary? Could I, if I felt like it, add more people to the party?"

"As long as you can get ahold of them while the door is open, held by you or someone else from your world, yes," says Linya. "The door stops being stolen when everybody from your world is out of the bar and it shuts."

"Well, I guess that's workable." He looks from Linyabel back to Bella. "But I object to the description of a bunch of shortears as having 'my face'."

"Ugh," he sighs.
He turns around and opens the door and leans out and calls, "Inlaith! Ashras! You'll never guess what I found!"

An identical clawed-fanged-tailed Miles lookalike comes to the door.
"You're right," he says, stepping inside and sweeping a thoughtful look around the room. (His gaze lingers on Mark.) "I definitely would never have guessed that you found... this. Whatever this is."

They are soon joined by a third.
"Yeah, I'm stumped," he says. "Congratulations. You have found a portal to a strange foreign Sphere full of half a dozen inexplicably Ceirene duplicates of us. I think this puts you firmly ahead."

"I don't actually know what Ceirene means. I thought the place did translations. Aurin, what does Ceirene mean," says Ivan.
"All I know is that it's an ethnic group. And from context it involves things like not having tails," shrugs Aurin.

"Welcome to Milliways, an interdimensional bar. It is in a certain mood and thought you'd be thematically appropriate. First drink is free and I'm considering buying nametags."

"I'm Ashras and that's Inlaith," says the more Milesish of the betailed triplets, indicating the more Markish one. "You've met Elarron already."

"Miles, Stalas, Mial, Milo, Solvei, Mark, Ivan, Jann, Aurin, Linyabel, didn't give her name," says Elarron, indicating each of the not-currently-betailed occupants of the room.
