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.

"I'm getting that sense. So, Bells and Lexi here are green, Jokers and you are purple."

[wildlymagical]

"I wonder what it means. I suppose you've said you don't know."

[thaumobabble]

"No idea. Something might come clear as I sort everybody."

[wildlymagical]

"Good luck."

[thaumobabble]

"Thanks!" And she is off.

[lexicality]

"That was kinda weird."

[wildlymagical]

"Yes," says Lycaelon.

[lexicality]

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

(Persica glitters.)

[wildlymagical]

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

[lexicality]

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

[wildlymagical]

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

[lexicality]

"I think Sarion says 'my beloveds'. Which isn't any less weird, but I already got used to it and now you're saying a different thing."

[wildlymagical]

"Well," he says. "I could call them that, yes. But I don't."

[lexicality]

"Why not? Is it because it's sappy, because it is totally sappy."

[wildlymagical]

He laughs.

"All right, maybe. Not that I don't feel sappy. But I don't need to go around advertising it to everyone."

[lexicality]

Lexi laughs too. "Awwwww."

[wildlymagical]

He smiles.

[lexicality]

"Awwwwwww! Oh hey did you hear Sarion's going to marry them?"

[wildlymagical]

Lycaelon laughs. "I did, yes."

[lexicality]

"And Angela's gonna officiate, an angel is going to get a demon and an elf and a dragon all married, it's hilarious!"

[wildlymagical]

"Is there something I'm missing about angels?"

[lexicality]

"Oh, at home, demons - not like all the millions of kinds Sunshine has so much, red ones with horns and tails and wings just exactly like Aianon pretty much - and angels, basically like Samaria angels only with halos sometimes - are kind of, like, mythical opposites? The angels are the good guys and the demons are the bad guys."

[wildlymagical]

"Aha," says Lycaelon.

[lexicality]

"We don't actually have either thing and so far the worlds with demons don't have angels and vice-versa, but it's still funny!"

[wildlymagical]

"I can see that."
