"Huh.

" - with who?"

"Demon."

"Huh.

"Well, they want a mom replacement for a bit, or anything?"

Permalink

"They probably wanna meet you. I haven't been talking about them to the - people - I didn't know what they knew - "

Permalink

"Right, sure. They're, uh, mindreaders, by the way. Like, they don't read everything constantly, but they are mindreaders."

Permalink

" - oh. Well. OK. I guess I - failed to get that from 'telepathy'."

Permalink

"Yeah. Anyway. They're not gonna eat you or anything. I don't think they wanna get you killed, they just suck real hard at keeping you alive."

Permalink

"OK. Well. Maybe, uh, you should talk to them about - stuff. When they get back here with Wishbone's - talking thingy."

Permalink

This is kind of a terrible idea.

 

"Yeah, OK."

Permalink

He comes back with a keyboard Wishbone can use. 

 

He sets it on the ground and heads for the other room.

Permalink

She follows him. 

"Hey. She told me to tell you she has people, back wherever she's from. Connor and another kid."

Permalink

He stops. 

Nods. 

"The door to her world is in Wolfram and Hart's office. The evil multidimensional organization whose Earth manifestations are law firms. Our best shot is probably to see if she can also open the door to somewhere else on her world, and if she can't, to drag a couple more people through and see if they can.

 

I - it'll be a disaster if she goes back to Wolfram and Hart. As far as we know, they don't have access to Milliways. We can't let that change."

"You guys have, like, a plan right now?"

Permalink

"Figure out whether new Karen is able to do this. If not, arrange some other form of transit to her dimension."

Permalink

This is at least not obviously stupid.

"When're you planning on asking her?"

Permalink

"Once she's decompressed a little. Time's frozen in her dimension, Connor and the other aren't missing her or anything."

Permalink

Nod.

"You should probably get some board games. And Pixar movies. And clothes, if you expect her to be up here for a bit."

Permalink

 

"Thank you."

Permalink

" - yeah. Don't get her killed again, though. Seriously."

Permalink

The reason Telvo's at the door and not me is because no one trusts me to shoot her if she tries to go to Wolfram and Hart, he doesn't say.

 

"Yeah."

Permalink

"OK."

She heads back to keep her not-sister company.

Permalink

Board games! Pixar movies! Some changes of clothes! He knows her size for everything. That's not weird, right?

Permalink

Nobody comments on it. They spend a while playing board games and watching Pixar movies and talking through some of the differences of their respective universes. Eventually Karen goes off to find Alex again.

Permalink

"Hey."

Permalink

"Hi. Uh - Azalea said at some point you wanted me to try opening the door."
