Elspeth gets a door.

It's been so long she reels for a moment, and then she throws herself forward and almost lands in a peal of Bells. Yes, there's Shell Bell, there's Juliet and Aurora, there's Glass, there's some Matilda she hasn't seen before.

"Elspeth!" exclaims Glass.

"How long has it been?" Aurora asks.

"Seventeen years. Shell Bell - I need you to help me find Harley," says Elspeth.

"Do you want to suck up all the books I own, or just note it and move on?" laughs Glass.

"I'll finish the enchanting section, I think." Tab flies around the enchanting section, then says, "All done," and they teleport back to the other Bells.

Corona returns with Brilliance, wearing a new set of conjured clothes and giggling to himself. His happiness is radiant, the brightest thing in the room, warm and comfortable with a bubbly overtone of laughter. Joker auras do tend to project their emotions more readily than standard, but this takes it to a whole new level; you could cozy up to it like a fireplace to warm your hands at in winter.

It's not just that the depth, intensity, and detail of the projection are all incredible, either. It comes with other effects - physical comfort like Aianon and Ansharil's aura, but with a flavour to it that echoes the 'happy, comfortable, contented' theme; a subtle shimmer in the air around him; a pleasant ring to the sound of his laughing voice. As though his aura is determined to make being around him more pleasant, on every available level, in a way that marches in step with the flavour of his emotional projection.

"That's nifty," says Aurora, smiling.

Juliet is least impressed of the subpeal, but she smiles approvingly too.

Corona beams.

"It's even more fun when I turn it up," he says, and flares the aura with a touch of his Gift in the mix. The amount of coziness in the room just about triples, and the amount and intensity of available information about his mood (cheerful, open, friendly, snuggly) does likewise.

Brilliance wraps his arms around Corona's waist and nuzzles his cheek, sparkling with his own aura's version of happiness.

Carinna, who has been sitting on the floor at Glass's feet with Mossy in her lap, is fascinated.

He giggles and hugs Brilliance, causing another brief coziness flare.

[Corona's all set with his aura, we're about ready to get out of here,] Juliet reports to Elspeth, conferencing in Harley as a courtesy.

"Do you want me to ask if you can take one of these things home with you?" Elspeth asks Harley.

From:

pythbox

Harley nods, hugging his armful of glowing, humming poofs.

From:

Elspeth asks. "Glass says they are called poofs, and you can take one but they need the water that's found here, which can be replicated with coins to no ill effect."

From:

pythbox

Harley nods again, and hugs his poofpile.

After a moment, he sits up and scoops them all out of his lap and onto the floor as gently as possible. A big bluish-lavender poof immediately hops back into his lap; he hugs it and grins.

Elspeth stands up again and teleports them to the subpeal.

"You kept one," observes Carinna. "What are you going to call it?"

From:

Harley closes his eyes and pets his poof. After a few seconds, he shrugs.

"You'll think of something," says Carinna. "Mine is named Mossy."

"We ready to leave?" Juliet asks everyone.

From:

Harley pets his nameless poof.

Corona says, "Sure! Hell if I'm going back where I came from, though." To Elspeth, he says, "You're not either, right? Can I come wherever you're going?"

From:

Elspeth is deprogramming Corona again. "I'm going back to Aurum. I think my door-friendliness is back to normal, so even if Mama turns out not to want arbitrary numbers of Jokers in her world it should be relatively straightforward to send you to Origin instead."
