<p>Do I Know God When I Do Not Remember Myself and Do I Know God When I Do Not Dream worked as a mismatched pair. When I Do Not Remember worked as a propagandist while When I Dream worked almost entirely on the perisystem, translating back and forth for her cocladists and finding the best way to worm her way through the intersystem text channels.</p>
<p>Were ey pressed to name each of them without knowing this information, ey didn&rsquo;t think ey&rsquo;d be able to. Ey knew the three skunks of the clade and could readily tell them apart, but the rest simply looked like a gaggle of the very same woman: short, soft, round face and curly black hair. However, there were indeed differences there. Why Ask Questions was just a centimeter or two taller and more open of expression. When I Do Not Remember and When I Dream both had a hunch to their shoulders that ey could not quite explain; perhaps a posture that stuck after too much writing.</p>
<p>As it was, ey could do eir best to guess, and when introductions made their way around the table, ey found eir guests to be correct to the last. </p>
<p>((Some from each of them throughout))</p>
<p>At last, the parade of bows and greetings out of the way, each of the twelve &mdash; for Jonas and Zacharias added to the stanza &mdash; pulled out a chair and sat down, though ey noted that End Waking didn&rsquo;t sit so much as hover on the very edge of his seat. He still looked wide-eyed, feral.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Aaalright,&rdquo; Jonas said, plopping his hands, palm down, on the table. &ldquo;To business. I&rsquo;m pleased to see you&rsquo;re alive, but can&rsquo;t say that I&rsquo;m pleased to see you&rsquo;re about.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I imagine not, no,&rdquo; True Name replied, folding her paws on the table before her. &ldquo;From what Ioan says, you know the general facts of what I know. There has been a long-running plan, perhaps mostly operating as a back-up plan, to shift one or more of me to the side depending on the status of the System. This revolved around the use of Zacharias as a tool to shape my responses while the incomplete information kept me from recognizing this. Tell me, though. Are you leaning on the multiple-Systems-multiple-governments strategy?&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;See you around?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Fuck off.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She laughed and reached out to take Ioan&rsquo;s hand in eir paw, then they stepped back home, followed closely by May holding End Waking&rsquo;s paw.</p>
<p>((Out on the plain b/c E.W.))</p>
<p>There was a long moment of silence in the living room, then Ioan let out a ragged, pent-up breath, eir shoulders sagging. &ldquo;Can someone tell me what the fuck just happened?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Sasha found the one thing she could have done to piss off Jonas,&rdquo; May said, looking at her appraisingly. &ldquo;He went in thinking he&rsquo;d take everything from her and left with no wind in his sails. Well done, my dear.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Sasha beamed and bowed with a flourish</p>

<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re nuts,&rdquo; Debarre said, rubbing his paws over his face. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re all fucking nuts.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ioan gestured wildly toward the weasel. &ldquo;Confirmation! Fucking nuts!&rdquo;</p>
<p>The three skunks laughed while ey and Debarre leaned across the table to shake hands.</p>
