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.

"That's convenient!" he says. "Convenient and also cuddly."

"I have met Jokers," he laughs. "The others, no."

"Yep. Although not all the mortals know about it, so if we stay in inns or things like that the fire's usually piled way too high in our rooms and so on. The angel holds are too cold for mortals and they all go around in long sleeves and extra layers."

"Oh, and Darcy and Sidanar, Sidanar being one of the conjured dragons, are purple too, although if you haven't met any Sherlocks or Tonies then you haven't made an investigation of the conjured dragons."

"I could just make it that trying to go solid while you're halfway through a wall doesn't work and doesn't hurt," he shrugs. "I don't think it'd be that hard. I have safe wishes to play with."

"Oooh," says Minnie. "I didn't think of anything that complicated or I might've asked Juliet."

"One of them is an alt of us," says Anna.

"I did. We all have. You can try to learn, if you like; I recommend asking Harley and War. It is much easier for new Jokers to learn it now that War has felt us all try it our own ways."

"That sounds interesting!"

"Putting it on my to-do list. So you'll come to Gift sometime and make me a treehouse castle? My planet has these fantastic enormous trees, they're taller than this plant, just not quite as big around."

[Warn Glass about what, Nona probably not wanting to fuck her? Is that a thing? I didn't know that was a thing,] laughs Jellybean. [If she wants some girl-flavoured Joker she'd be better off trying Ghosty or Celo - I know Celo was walking around swapped a while ago, and Ghosty can be whatever shape she wants.]

He giggles.

"I don't meet very many people."

[If Glass generically wanted some girl-flavored Joker I'd have expected her to hit one up already. I don't know if she was planning to ask Nona or not, but if she asks and gets a no that will probably not do anything good for her odds of asking Nona or anyjoker else later on.]
