"... Wow. An afterlife? Prime - we should get our sisters, who knows how long they've been separated."

"Mm. I'll go get mine."

And he gets up to go do that!

"Bit more than a year," volunteers Cam.

"What is 'Cam' short for?"
Permalink

"Campbell."

"Campbell what?"
Permalink

"Campbell Mark Swan, why?"

"Hi, I'm Isabella Marie Swan, and that's Iobel Maryah Swan, and that's Isabella Amariah who neglected to inherit the surname Swan from her dad, and that's Ayabel of no middle or last name."
Permalink

"Huh. Wow."

Permalink

"Well. I can't say I'm surprised, ever since we found Zevros..."

Permalink

"Right, but - a boy Bella. And a girl us!"

Permalink

Softly, Edarial says, "Cypress... Your sister?"

Permalink

"Right, sorry." He kisses his wife goodbye, and goes off to retrieve her.

"So I'm girls and she's boys and Zane is mostly girls?"
Permalink

"We'll want to get Rae to check, but it looks that way. Rae can tell - you'll notice I don't look like the other Bells."

Permalink

"- This is all really weird and I'm not sure I'm following one hundred percent, but I have a question. We're all daeva, can't you just summon us? With a circle and such instead of - mana?"

Permalink

".... Ooo, summoning mechanics, spill, we love cheating systems."

"I don't know if it'll work from all the way over there, but here's what circles for me and Zane and Adana would look like," says Cam, producing a piece of paper and holding it up to the mirror. "Is the resolution on this thing good enough for you to get the detail?"

Permalink

Max squints. "I think I can do that. Let me find an open spot and try it. Unless anyone's got objections?"

Permalink

"Do these need to be drawn in any special way, with any special material, at any special size, or accompanied by an incantation or anything?"

Permalink

"Leave closing the circle part for last, any material will do from blood to crayon to projected light, has to be on a floor or the ground and big enough for us to stand in, and that's all."

Permalink

"Well, good news, I have my trusty magic marker."

Permalink

"You are my favorite complete dork."

Permalink
Max grins. "Thanks, I try!"

He heads off to go carefully draw the circle. He checks Cam's copy several times.

And then:

"... I think I messed it up, was something supposed to happen? Is there anything I have to do to activate it?"
Permalink

"No, if you drew anything even sort of close to what I gave you you should have gotten a non-'nothing' result. I even gave you one with a binding in case you screwed up on getting one of the three of us and got somebody unfriendly. It was a long shot that it'd work from that far away. The thing you used to send us the mirror works on people, though? You're all in one place and not daeva except for maybe those two?" He gestures at Phix and Max.
