"Miles Bisexuality Index?" murmurs Ashras.

"...Okay, nobody else has asked yet so I guess it's up to me: where'd you get the wings?" says Elarron.

"Terraria," she says. "I made them. Why?"

"Cultural thing," says Inlaith. "Those don't look quite right - is that metal? - but in Suranse, generally speaking, you can assume certain things about a person you see walking around with wings, and those things don't seem to hold in the wider multiverse."

"Why've you been extendedly socially isolated? Or is Mark making things up?"

"...When I was twelve I was suddenly and inexplicably transported from the world I grew up in to a different one. The new world is called Terraria and there's some indication that other people have existed in it but I haven't actually found any who were still alive. It, um. It hasn't been great."

"Milliways shenanigans like what?"

"Sometimes it will not let you have a front door for a period of time, and I don't know what spending many years in a universe that isn't your own or coming in from the back yard might do to the door's accuracy. But the normal course of things it would lead to your original world."

"...Um, we came in from the back yard."

"...I hate to say this," says Miles, "but if the front door doesn't lead to her world, is one of the other options 'under attack by mansion-sized monster'?"

"...I was kicking the mansion-sized monster's ass, but uh, yeah, I'd rather not be expecting my hometown and get the Moon Lord instead."

"So go in expecting the monster - why is it named that? - and then if it's your hometown be pleasantly surprised?"

"I don't know why it's called the Moon Lord. That's just what the soulless un-people call it."

"They look like people but they don't have minds and they can only do really specific things. They can talk, but it's not like talking to a person, it's like talking to a - a book that reads itself out loud."

"...And you survived ten years with that as your only company?" says Miles, looking very disturbed.

"Believe me, I'm surprised too when I think about it."

"I can tell," says Sable.

"You can tell how many souls Marks have? Check Solvei."

She snorts. "Souls don't come in multiples like that. Although for some reason you and you," she points at Mial and then Aurin, "seem to have a lot of extra aliveness, what's with that?"

Aurin looks at Mial, then says, "Well, we're not humans? ...Stalas isn't either but perhaps not in an aliveness-relevant way."

Sable squints at some nametags and then says, "Oh, his weird stuff goes way beyond extra aliveness."
