who will be coming?

[small_magics]

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.

[You'd be able to explain it to Etty better than I could if she wants details. Unless Nona has enough introspective insight to just explain herself? Is this thing something she told you or something you guys noticed?]

[snowandsparks]

"Nope. Spaceship exists, spaceship really does smite Mount Galo if we don't sing, a bunch of angels from Windy Point and some of their mortal friends were up there and they all died, it took a long time for the angel population to recover."

[lexicality]

"I think I like that I'm in the same color as Bella and my Peachy though."

(Persica glitters.)

[pythbox]

"All right," Celo says cheerfully. "Well, broadly speaking: you could watch me do things, or I could watch you do things, or we could talk about doing things, or one of us could tell the other what things to do, or any combination of those. Where the specific nature of 'things' depends on what we think is fun." He grins. "I have some suggestions if you want."

Eights pats him on the arm.

[endragoned]

"They are getting to be very large," Aianon agrees. "I enjoyed making the flying plant for this one."

[alicornucopia]

"I can't really do things. My shape sort of - pretends to exist. Actually trying to make it not go through itself falls apart for anything more complicated than clapping my hands," sighs Minnie.

[temporal_affairs]

"But we got that handled and now I'm fine. And I don't think either of you are mad at your dragon alt for putting the moves on your boyfriend, am I right?"

[giftedandtalented]

"It's an awesome flying plant. Is it gonna stick around after the party disperses?"

[pythbox]

[...I'm not sure there's a difference,] says Jellybean. [There sometimes isn't, when we're all linked. She definitely doesn't know any less about it than I do.]

[lifes_sake]

[Oh, in that case I'll tell Etty to ask Nona about it. And then I'll go hunt up Corona, I suppose.]

[newtimov]

"That is sad," says Ike, snuggling up.

[wildlymagical]

"I'm all right with being in the same colour as my Bonded."

[snowandsparks]

"Well, yes," says Lucas, adjusting his wings around Ike, "but if Raphael had stayed in power we'd still have slavery and so on, so."

[pythbox]

"Awwww," says Celo. "Well, that still leaves some options open. Or we could figure out the solidity thing now, and then we'd have lots of options."

[lexicality]

"It's funny that you call them that all the time."

[lookingforwardtoit]

"No," snorts Eights. Anna giggles.

[alicornucopia]

"Okay, let's do that!"

[temporal_affairs]

"So you are quite without my problem."

[endragoned]

"I do not have anywhere to put it," he says. "But it would be a shame to destroy it. Perhaps I will leave it here in case there is another party someday."

[pythbox]

[Have fun!] says Jellybean. [Corona is fun. You know about his Gift, right?]

[giftedandtalented]

"Sure. There might be, although we seem to find new worlds that haven't hosted parties yet more often than we have parties."

[lifes_sake]

[I've heard a description?]

[newtimov]

"Ye-es. It's sad that he poisoned a bunch of people and then got a bunch more killed trying to play chicken with a spaceship," says Ike. "It would have been much better if he had just not done any of that."

[wildlymagical]

"What should I call them? 'Aianon and Ansharil' takes longer to say."
