- and is simultaneously stung, tased, and hit with a wave overwhelming apathy, all at once. 

He stops going for the blue jay.

"It's good to know I can let go. Anyone want a turn holding this, she's making some serious inroads on my thumb."

"I'll take her."

Taylor force feeds Bird Echidna some bugs until she vomits out four eggs.

"... Huh."

"Huh what?"

Taylor holds out the bird eggs by way of explanation. 

Plumata reaches for them and -

Lucien, Grue, Uber and yet another Lorica de-egg, full sized and alive - if damp and unhappy looking.

"What the hell?" says Second Edition Lorica.

"She copies people. Makes, uh, evil duplicates? Except we can't be turned evil? Or something."

To Lucien: "Evil You is a real asshole."

"Oh... sorry?"

He blinks at the hard sunlight, trying to pull himself away from the visions he'd seen inside of Echidna.

"... That is a lot of you."

"And four of us have new powers to figure out. Again. Exciting."

"Four?"

"I lucked back into the tinker power. Feels the same, at least."

"Oh, that's perfect." exclaims Tattletale, returning with Faultline, Labyrinth, and Flechette. 

"Perfect for what?"

"I'm glad you asked!" says Tattletale.

"First off, Labyrinth, a large target please - as we discussed on the way here."

The architecture around them warps, the pavement turning to cobblestones, a stone sphere 8 feet in diameter rising out of the ground. 

"And now Flechette, will you shoot it?"

Flechette shoots an arrow into the sphere.

The sphere vanishes, a hollow void. 

"Labrynth, you should be able to see other worlds..."

The quiet cape nods.

"Somewhere uninhabited please, where we can drop our bird nemesi off."

The void changes, becoming a portal to a forest, towering oak trees visible in the distance contrasting against the city landscape around them.

"That's really cool but did not successfully make your point without further explanation."

"Oh we're almost there - any objections to leaving the birds there? We can go back for them later if need be."

"None, lets get them clear of us."

And two bird yeetings later:

"And a new destination please, somewhere empty again."

The portal changes yet again.

"So," says Tattletale, smiling at Lorica, "You said something about your price being your Tinker powers and a continent?" 

"I don't think you were responsible for the Tinker powers thing though I acknowledge I'm really impressed by your access to continents."

"... We're not giving her a continent just because you want to impress her Tattletale."
