Well. Jenn's eyes were starting to go funny from all reading, so she can stay here and give Bina a shoulder rub.

It seems appreciated! Bina's shoulders are horribly tense right now.

Well. Jenn will do her best to get some of the tension out.

She gradually relaxes. "Thanks," she says, as she returns to cooking.

"Anytime," Jenn promises. She's quiet for a little. "Shall I go find Elizabeth?"

"...Yeah, that might be good, food's almost ready."

Another brief squeeze. "Back shortly."

And goes off to see if she can't find Elizabeth.

Elizabeth can be found - she's coming up the street with a full backpack.

"Success?"

"Previous Binas have definitely scavenged a lot of this, but I found some tablets and an old laptop. They all seem to work."

Jenn nods. "Dinner's almost ready. Have you seen Ant?"

"Here and there? But not in last few minutes."

"I'm here," Ant says, skipping up. "Just been poking at the Nothing."

"...You know not to go past it, right?"

"Pretty sure you literally can't. Not without not existing any more." Ey holds up a branch, sheared strangely at one end. "Just vanished the top of a branch."

"Yeah. Let's not find out what happens to fingers, okay?"

"I'm not a complete idiot."

"Dinner's waiting?" Jenn reminds them both, making ushering gestures.

"Right. Food sounds good right now."

"Gods yes," Ant agrees, skipping ahead of them back to where Bina's cooking.

Bina's finished, and is taking food off burners. "Plate everything up yourself - I made tomato dal! There were canned tomatoes and lentils left, luckily, though the onions are from that dried camping food pack... Rice is microwaveable kind, sorry, so probably not the best..."

"It'll be fine. It smells fab." Ant shows no hesitation at starting to plate up food for emself.

"Thanks!" She gets her own food, then heads for the dining room. "Did you guys find anything interesting?"

"The Nothing is definitely the end of this particular universe," Ant declares. "At least based on the dreadfully unscientific method of poking it with a stick."

"Heh. I mean, checking the journals were right is arguably pretty scientific."
