"I see. So besides this door, is there any way for you to get home?"

"If was any Jane here Jane put me back, pop, right on Jovah. Isn't though, checked. If a one Mommy here she bring a Janegem do same thing, or Shell Bell can doors whenever wanting. Jarvises also can doors if knowing how but a Jarvis finded here maybe not know how. Isn't one, anyway, checked. If a one Daddy find me he do freecast while Sue linking and bring some Jane to put me home. Or maybe there a mutant who can do thing, dunno what all kinds."

"So far, we haven't found anyone who can traverse different universes," he said. "What exactly is a Janegem? Is it something to do with Jane's mutation?"

"...Jane not a mutant. She from Peace but she not a mutant she a computer person," explains Pen. "She not a human. They put her in a Device body when having too many accidents with Jane soul being in Aegis so now she not there any more, but she never a human. But she can in gems and see from them and anything she seeing can put anywhere else seeing. Also she do time so it all go same amount but sometimes she having the accidents and then it not work and time faster some worlds."

"Hm. Well, if we find someone who can put you back, we'll let you know," he said. "In the meantime, do you need a place to stay?"

"Yeah."

"We have empty rooms. And this place was, in part, created to be a safe haven, even if you weren't quite what we imagined."

"Okay."

He touches the first and second fingers of his right hand to his temple for a moment, and says, "you can stay in room 427 for the moment. I need to speak with the rest of the staff about your problem."

"D'you want me to show you the way?"

"Yes please."

In the hallway, another girl walks out to join them. "Hi," she said, and then tilted her head. "Huh, that is odd."

"A Dars face!" exclaims Pen.

"A. What?"

"You are look like my sister Dars. Damaris," explains Pen. "Are not one because did not the brainphone when checking, but looking like. Sometime happens."

"Huh. ...What's the brainphone?"

[Thing.] Emily is included too. Because that's polite.

Her hands fly to her head. "What the hell was that!? I mean heck. What the heck was that!?"

Emily also looks fairly confused. "Weird. Like telepathy but really, really not."

"Is the brainphone. Don't like?"

"It's very...um...it is profoundly synaesthetically weird. Like...imagine if someone talked, only instead of hearing it you felt it on your skin. Only in reverse? Sort of? It's not bad, it's just--very startling to have sprung on me all of a sudden."

"Oh. Don't have to do. Just showing."

"How do you use it to check for people?"

"Send message, don't work if person not there. Checking for Jane, for a one Mommy, one Daddy, ones sisters, more people. Nobody. Maybe didn't think of all everyone but knowing you only looking like Dars."

"I see. -How do you even get something like that, anyway? I guess the answer is magic, you mentioned magic to Emily...that seems very designed, though. Like if someone who had never experienced real telepathy tried to mimic it."
