The new Basswood Commander, Celaunn, stands watch outside of the building with one ready hand resting on the hilt of her sword while her protectorate goes inside. A prodigy of magic as she is, liberating all the Foreigners' souls right out from under Malicant has left Evastelei far more expended than any of them care to admit. She looks as tired and worn as Evandau sounded on the radio post, but she tries to cover it with good humour, much as can be mustered given the situation. Eva's sent out messages to the ones whose essence she's felt resonate for each address and upon arriving, carries the lanterns into the new units whether they're all present or not... she's a busy lady and when this is all done she might just sleep for a week.

"Couldn't rightly explain some of these set-downs," Eva says as she goes about hanging the lamps up in the central part of the house. For most of the units, this equates to the main living area, though sometimes in the kitchen or unfinished room -- the layouts on each building has variations, after all. "One of those things you just have to feel, I reckon. Never figured Evandau much for leaving new bottles of wine on the pillows after all, so this will have to do."

While she's in the buildings, she'll run her hands over the wards built into the walls, letting them light briefly with various colours of light depending on the purpose, a symbol-based language not unlike runic illuminating at her touch and then fading to invisibility again.

"Now for these," she'll continue once she's sure she has all their attentions. "These are the best I could do on short notice, what with the Creature throwing all his resource at breaking Eshai's spells. That's why none of you could get into the Throne Room few weeks back-- that was a right bold move on your parts, by the way. See if you can't talk tall and smileless up there," she jerks her head toward the front of the building to indicate Celaunn, "into learning something from it. Chilu's are too by the book."

She'll explain how the lanterns are strengthened by proximity of those whose soul they house, and the dangers of staying away from them (particularly in a Dreaming state) for too long. "You don't want the Creature coming to rip you out of here," she says, jabbing them in the chest for emphasis, a deep frown distorting the burned scar on the one side of her face. "Be something like putting your insides through a wind shearer. Don't recommend it, that's for certain. Are you paying attention? Don't be moving these anywhere. With the power of these, I can understand why Eshai wanted to keep them close but keeping them from you... well, it wasn't the only thing she and I disagreed on."

Once she's satisfied that they've got as much information as she can provide at this time, she'll remind them as Evandau did: these lanterns are their Keeliai anchors and should they be destroyed, it won't be a trip back to their worlds that they can look forward to. "Without these, I can't keep you from being lost for good," she'll add seriously. "Good luck with them."

Iiiii'm pretty he sure told me to my face that I was one of the 'accidents'. Sure did stick around though, for a guy they didn't want here.

[Bart finally leaves the lantern alone. He wants to try vibrating into it, but he'll wait until Kon isn't in the room to freak out. He wants to know what it feels like.]

If I've got too much stuff, we can always throw some of it out. I don't. I mean. OK. I kinda mind, but it was never my stuff. I was just... hoping they'd come back.

[And Kon looks pissed when Bart tells him about that. Who the hell did Evandau think he was? None of them wanted to be here, all of them were snatched up so how the hell could accidents be made and why did he say Bart was one? Kon couldn't see it that way, Bart had done a lot to help while Evandau had mostly kept himself hidden away. But for both their sakes and so Kon didn't make a mistake he forces himself to calm down.]

That guy is a colossal douche and needs to get that stick out of his ass pronto.

[Kon's quick to smile and put a hand on Bart's shoulder. He shakes his head slowly and shrugs his left shoulder.]

Keep it, I don't have a problem with it and if anyone else does, they just gotta deal. Maybe they'll come back as sucky as it is, we don't know. But hey, I'd be pretty stoked to show up some where and have stuff that's mine already there.

[Bart doesn't catch the look. He's still fussing at the spirit lamp - he has to remember to call them that from now on, it's too good to pass up. But the words get through, and Bart gets a devious little half-smile.]

What if the stick is already out of his ass, but it wrecked his colon so much that they had to hollow it out and stick it back in as a new poop chute?

[He nods and gives Kon a nod, glad to have permission to keep Tim and Barry's things. He just - doesn't want to give their things away. It's wrong.]

I kinda. Hope they don't come back. They're better off home then with their souls in a tiny little fire cage.

[No matter how much he liked to think he was mature and above such things, the words 'poop' and 'chute' caused him to snicker instead of laugh as he bit hs lip to stop it.]

Well it'd explain a lot.

[Kon put his hand on his waist and shook his head, not in disagreement though.]

I hope they don't either. But hey, either way their things mean something to us, right?

Totally.

[Bart blurs away and back again. He's holding another Flash ring, identical to the one he's wearing.]

I have Barry's suit. Again. I don't know what to do with it, really.

[But the tone implies that he is considering doing Things.]

[Kon looks at the ring Bart holds and he looks back at him.

If Bart's tone implies that he's considering Things, then Kon's expression implies that he doesn't believe his 'I don't know what to do with it' comment.
]

So what's your plan then?
