[Belin]

This much is clear to her, anyway: Belin lies on the ground, gasping in relief. The terrifying, chair-wielding manifestation of Birdie is elsewhere. Rose is here, also lying on the ground after being knocked over from out of nowhere by VanimaEdhel, who seems to have gone elsewhere.

Rose is asking questions.

Belin groans, turning her head to stare blankly at Rose. She hit her head in the fall and isn't at her most lucid (however lucid that may be), although the chair seems to have hit Veritas instead of her. "Ughhh," she says, thoughtfully.

Celeaewen, at any rate, seems to have forgotten about her, for which she is grateful. Irritating as it is to be put to sleep by Veritas, there are more important things to worry about.

For instance, the void seems to have sucked everyone in, or at least, that's what she thinks Rose is saying. "Good," she thinks vaguely, "that means I don't have to stand up." She wonders briefly what it is that she's lying on--she must not really be lying down at all-- but gives this up for an unworkable conundrum.

Rose is still asking questions.

"I don't have it," Belin mumbles. She thinks about the REG and its recent activities. "Good riddance," she decides. "No wonder everyone's confused." Hopefully Child can explain all this once she gets rescued.

She decides to add another question to the bristling legion of them: What, exactly, has happened to Mithadan?
