small_magics | who will be coming?

Aianon has made a plant in the open airless space above the surface of Thilanushinyel. It is a very, very large plant - some dragons will be attending the party, after all, even if Ansharil in particular is going to be assorted small things and stay on Sarion's person the bulk of the time.

The locals will be Sarion, her beloveds, their other beloved, the five conjured dragons (and their Bondmates, where applicable: Virgivere and Lissa), and Liselen - Magania has, as usual, declined, and so far no Bell party has featured Bell parents.

Amariah is bringing her boyfriend and spontaneous daughter and two of the spontaneous daughter's friends, as well as an Alethian instance of the Rupert template.

Shell Bell is bringing Pearl and Screwdriver.

Golden is bringing her usual large contingent, as usual not including her husband but including her daughter and daughter's grown fosterling (the other remaining at home) and his wolf, both mothers-in-law and one father-in-law, adopted siblings, staff members including the Joker and Nathan, and the children of the aforementioned.

Glass is bringing both wives, all three daughters, Kanim, and her cat. She invited Icarin and Valeria, but their parents are not willing to let them gallivant into other worlds unsupervised and had a scheduling conflict.

Stella's bringing a smattering of people including Alice, Anna, Sandy, Libby, Bridget, her college roommate Janine, and Lazarus.

Tab is bringing Aelise (but not Kers) and Luhan.

Etty is bringing only Nona.

Aether, likewise, brings no one but Celo.

Pattern comes with Ripper, Slipstick, Queenie, and Ghosty.

Aegis is accompanied by her four-bodied boyfriend, Merryweather, Whitlock, and Howlett.

Aurora comes with Brilliance, Lexi with her Device Persica, Agent Honey with her Device Adularia, and Beth.

Rose brings her husband and three children and her former apprentice, Luc.

Angela brings her husband, her four children, several of her friends, and some of those friends' children and grandchildren with and without wings. Keziah also brings a friend.

Juliet shows up with Soph, Minus, Red, Giles, James, Virginia, Minnie, Ike, and Val.

Cam brings Jellybean and Tilly and stops there.

And from unBelled worlds hail additional Sherlocks and Tonies, Darcy, Matilda, Pepper, and Eights.

"Let's," he says brightly.

She kisses him again and teleports them to the nearest unoccupied private little room.

Where they will do private things, which Minnie will hopefully not supervise.

"Do you want food? I might want food."

"I want a beverage. They're in the same place!"

That place is the buffet!

It is!

"I love all the little snacky things," says Tanalin. She is currently investigating the depleted eclairs.

They're not very depleted.

Kiawen pours herself some fruit punch.

Carinna looks at large amounts of unrecognizable food before settling on some clearly identifiable strawberries with chocolate on them.

"I enjoy these little snacky things in particular!" concludes Tanalin of the eclairs. "They're puffy and tasty."

"Are they sweet, or... what?" says Carinna, suspicious of the eclairs.

"They're sweet and kind of cake-ish with chocolate on them and this creamy airy sweet stuff inside," says Tanalin, displaying a bitten eclair.

"Oh, that sounds nice." Carinna takes one too.

Tanalin scarfs down the rest of hers.

"Ooh, tiny cupcakes," says another girl, approaching the tiny cupcakes (which are close by the eclairs). She is sitting on a hovering pine branch, barefoot, wearing a lot of black silk arranged in mysterious configurations. And no nametag.
