we are not truly immortal

[dark_light]

After Glass's party is over with, Amariah and Kas go home.

Amariah fetches down their alethiometers.

"It's about time I took care of Alethia's afterlife, whatever it may be," she says quietly. "What can the alethiometer tell you about what I'll find?"

She shows them the wish that got her the raccoon illusion. They could try it once each, and for them-as-a-complete-entity.

[endragoned]

It does not go; it does not go; it does not go again.

[small_magics]

How strange.

If they would really prefer to make the experiment - well, she is curious too, just nervous.

[endragoned]

They want to find out.

[small_magics]

Will they also be attempting to help with the afterlife, or do they simply mean to appear in Alethia unprotected and see what happens?

[endragoned]

They will help with the afterlife if the afterlife wants their help.

[small_magics]

Do they want her along (with her raccoon wished nonexistent) for the same reason that Stella will be there for Alice?

[endragoned]

That would please them very much.

[small_magics]

Then she will do that.

[endragoned]

Her beloveds love her.

[small_magics]

She loves them back!

[endragoned]

Love love love.

[small_magics]

And traveling.

Angela relays everything Jane tells her to Micaiah. She is a tentative volunteer for a second, bailout wave. She would have a tern if she had anything.

[yovahs_kisses]

Micaiah does not think he wants a daemon of his own, but he will hold his angel's if she needs him to.

[jovahs_heiress]

All right then. Angela relays this information to Jane.

After Jane tells her that some Jokers are going on the expedition for reasons of their own, Pattern notifies Queenie and Ghosty.

[yourheartstrings]

[Could be fun,] says Ghosty. [Count me in.]

[bellfounding]

[Jane'll take you if you show up at the point.]

[yourheartstrings]

[Okay.]

[gunpowdergelatine]

[Do we have any idea how long this is gonna take?] says Queenie. ['Cause if I'm losing my snugglebuddy for a week, I want another one.]

[bellfounding]

[No clue. It's an unfamiliar afterlife, the alethiometer was cagey as hell. I have a decent coin stash, if you need to go visiting someplace.]

[gunpowdergelatine]

[Mmkay. Cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess.]

[yourheartstrings]

Ghosty manifests at the Janepoint.

[mind_game]

Jane contentedly serves as interdimensional transit.
