"When we open your door again."

"Are there any plans for how to keep control of the door long enough?"

"Not yet."

"Okay. I hope someone comes up with something."

"I mean, we definitely can do it, it's mostly a question of how much fuss we're willing to cause."

"Yeah, I--don't have much input there. If someone wanted advice on how to deal with someone I happened to know I could do that but I'm just--not that attached to that society."

"Seems like Earths are a recurring pattern, we should probably have a plan for operating within them."

"I'll probably like Earths better that don't represent 'everyone and everything you ever loved in this world save your sister is dead and forgotten millenia hence'."

"Yeah. ...not all Earths are former Ardas but I wonder if all Ardas turn into Earths."

"Your Arda already has one."

"Yep. And that doesn't make sense either."

"It really doesn't. And it got its Revelation at the same time as Cam's and Idaia's and my alts Earth."

"Yeah - that's the oddest part, it seems like it has to be a Cam but it isn't -"

"...Hm. Did you try conjuring for 'alt of Cam' or for 'Campbell Mark Swan from this universe'?"

"Tried for Cam and for his parents."

"I guess it could still be something like--the weird mix-up of me and Idaia, if they were a naturally occurring daeva who didn't have parents, and talked a summoner into it."

"Yep, but the question is how to reach them, if so -"

"I have no idea. And if it's the case who they're mixed with is a relevant question..."

"Yeah, if Cam comes in evil I want that person very very very quarantined from the multiverse project."

"Probably an evil Cam wouldn't have done Revelation anonymously if at all."

"Hmm, maybe - Cam, do you think -"

Cam looks up from the napkins Bar's been stacking up in response to his attempts to feel out the nature of magic-in-general. "- therefore I am? What?"

"We have circled back again to trying to figure out Abaddon's Revelation - and why they acted exactly like you did if they're not a you - Imliss was thinking that it could be a blend, like that world apparently has Imliss/Idaia blends -"

"I don't know who I'd be blended with, I'm an only child and whatnot. And that would be creepy but that obviously has no bearing on whether it can happen... I don't think the procedure for anonymous demystification of summoning is that hard to stumble on if you know what you're doing and want to do it..."

"But at the same time, after centuries of secrecy - same source material -"
