It's a week or two before everything's nice and set up for searching for alts. All of the portals have been remade, spare mirrors have been created, and everyone that is allowed portal access gets a microchip. Even the gods. Rae accepts his without fuss, Perinixu - tolerates it. After a lot of questions. And a hefty donation from Cam in the form of another temple. Whatever, they managed it.
Cypress offers to do the scrying, but Prime shrugs him off. Which one of them is married and therefore has a wife to bang in his free time? Oh, right, yes, that's Cypress. Go, be free, twenty-something year old alt. Prime doesn't hate your happiness. (Much.) Now, if Prime gets married, they can divvy up the annoying work between themselves. But, not happening anytime soon, so he'll do it.
Exciting scrying happens. It involves lots of staring off into the distance and looking at places.
And then, he informs the various people arrayed around him in Pantheon:
"Found a set. A female Adarin, and a female Bell. Also a Zeviana and a - girl whom I don't recognize. And parents." Pause. "They're all living in the same house."
He dearly hopes they local Bell and Adarin are not siblings, that would make everyone uncomfortable. Oh, nope, look, the Bell and the Adarin just kissed. How quaint.
"Pretty sure they're not siblings," he clarifies. "Unless this is the plane of incest."

"A little, but then I discovered the magic of superpower wikis. I spent so much time obsessively looking up things I might get that I kind of - aheh. Fell out of the habit of D&D."

Cypress lets out a long-suffering sigh.
"No. Upstairs, in the apartments - second door to your left. They're waiting."
"No. Upstairs, in the apartments - second door to your left. They're waiting."

It's amazing, how every single Adarin in the room can have the exact same expression on their face - a 'trying very hard not to think about it' face. Except for one. Conduit blinks, confused.
"Waiting for what, exactly...?"
"Waiting for what, exactly...?"

"It's weird how I am the only exception on the sibling-having front. All Adarins with twins, all Bells except me without."

"They match, at least as much as we do - we're not positive about Spring, though, she hasn't seen them since she was six."

"... Huh. It might be smart to look for parents, too, then, for - Bell siblings. Wait - are our parents the same?"

"Rain's missing his Vernon. Birth parents seem to be mostly the same, except Rain and Prime are the only ones to have met them." Pause. "... I'm. Um. Sorry, but they're not nice people. Dad's way better."

"Right, I need that stack of character sheets - how many of us are there, even? Both Bells and Adarins."

"Huh. It - seemed like more, from the - all of the stuff and the histories that I didn't know about. Six seems small."

"You stumble across the leavings of an extinct civilization and field-promote yourself to the relevant military's rank of Senior Equipment Maintenance Specialist after repudiating affiliation with the Nystbli enemy scum, of course."
