Meanwhile, Stan is showing Jacob and William what a Mario is.

Jacob finds this oddly puzzling and fascinating. William does too but is too cool for this game.

"And so then he has to collect the fire flower to--"

He's interrupted by a teenager in a worn out lab coat barging in, a band of younger kids in tow. 

"Oh, come on, we booked the rumpus room ages ago! Oh, hi Jacob."

Jacob turns to look at her and waves, grinning.

"You can book the rumpus room?"

"I made a log-book."

"But those are boring," comments the girl wolf-child.

"So who are these kids?"

"Friends," he says vaguely.

She looks at him shrewdly. "You meet them through Hannah?"

He sighs and does a so-so gesture.

"Who're you?" asks one of the new kids—William.

"We're the Roamers," says a naked blonde girl who's suddenly appeared behind William.

"Natural enemies of Zaneta's brood," says Ezekiel. He sniffs the air. "Your Miracle smells useful."

"It's the best Miracle," William agrees. "—did you just smell it?"

"Helps me find good Miracles to copy."

He takes a step back. "It's mine."

"I don't steal them, silly."

"Yes but it's mine."

"And copying is mine, too."

"Yeah so what."

"I just want to see what it's like."

"Too bad."

"Look, kid, I'm just trying to be polite--"

"Not in here!"
