good guesser

[lifes_sake]

Cam is taken entirely by surprise when his office door doesn't lead to his office, but instead to a bizarre sort of bar.

He has Grace and his manual - he always carries them, in a backpack sort of thing with one cross-chest strap - and not much else on him to handle this situation. It might be Iggy. It might not be Iggy. He is not sure.

He looks around, concludes only that he is confused, and closes his eyes and listens instead.

He's not far; a moment later, he and Matilda come clattering up the stairs.

"...Whoa," he says, "what the fuck?"

[lifes_sake]

"Interdimensional magic bar! There are alternate versions of all three of us. I'm girls, for some reason."

[pythbox]

"Of course you are," he giggles, and hugs Cam. "There, there, baby. Being girls isn't so bad."

[lifes_sake]

"What do you mean, of course I am? Do I give off a vibe of definitely being mostly girls if you sample ten of me?" snorts Cam. "Here we go." Teleportation takes all three of them back out to the Belltower.

"Hullo, Jellybean and Matilda," says Juliet. "I'm Bella. Call me Juliet, because there's lots of us."

[pythbox]

"Hi," says Jellybean. "You're really fucking hot, has anybody ever told you that?"

Matilda snorts.

[cross_and_bow]

"In those exact words? No, actually," laughs Juliet. "You want to see hot, though -" She permits an aura flare, grinning.

[lifes_sake]

"I want one of those, by the way, is there some Saturn left?"

[cross_and_bow]

"Sure, lots. I think the pack of Jokers," she says, waving at Jellybean, "is still around, or planning to make another trip, or something, for their own."

[pythbox]

"Fuck me," says Jellybean. Matilda pats him on the head.

[cross_and_bow]

"No. Try Amariah," says Juliet. She withdraws her aura. "Or wait and see if Cam gets something cool. They don't match, not in the special features."

[lifes_sake]

"Is Amariah happy about having her test-driving tendencies bandied about to people-in-general?"

[cross_and_bow]

"I think she'd be less prone to personally advertising them if that were the case."

[pythbox]

"I want someone to fuck me," says Jellybean. "Can I meet the other me? I bet they'll do it."

[cross_and_bow]

"You bet they will, all eight and three-quarters of them," says Juliet, "Jane, are they still on Saturn in Origin?"

[mind_game]

"They haven't got gems, so I don't know about Saturn, but I haven't moved any of them out of the world. Not that that'd stop Sue," says Jane.

[pythbox]

"Then I guess I wanna go to Saturn," says Jellybean. "Can I go to Saturn? Also, eight and three-quarters?"

[lifes_sake]

"I'm not sure why Juliet picked that exact fraction, but two of you have external souls with their own names who talk and shapeshift," says Cam with a vague gesture. "Alethia has this as a feature of everybody - except most people grow out of the shapeshifting - and Sue visited the place and got his own."

[mind_game]

[I'll broadcast the news and Pattern will probably invite you all to Origin, which would be a convenient place to have Cam's introduction party as many of the standard guests are already there,] Jane says.

[pythbox]

"Awesome," says Jellybean.

[mind_game]

"Pattern says yes! I'll plunk you all in her palace on Titan, that's where everybody's congregated," says Jane.

And she does.
