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.

"Okay," says Céleste, and she and Keziah put their hands on Harley's head, and unsalt him.

He shivers;

he beams;

he vanishes.



Corona laughs. "I bet he's off to hug his wolf," he says. "Chelsa doused him from everybody. He's got most of it back - it's easy to get Jokers to like people, hard to get them to stop - but I guess not all."

"...Yeah," says Corona, folding his hands in his lap and looking down at them, "that'd probably be... good."

Corona shrugs. "I'll be fine," he says. "I'll go find the rest of us after, it's not like there's a shortage."

"It's true. There are quite a lot."

She reaches for his head.

They do their magic.

For a moment there is no visible effect; he breathes out calmly, looking a little distant.

And then he pulls his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them and drops his head into the space thereby created and cries.

"A-are you okay?"

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm—fine," he sniffles, shivering. "Just—there were so many..."

[personal profile] inherpiety 2013-10-22 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
"So many what?"

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Too much crying. Cannot answer.

Keziah hugs him, fluffing one wing around his back.
segreant: (k ~ a good book)

[personal profile] segreant 2013-10-22 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Céleste tucks in too.

Corona sniffles and leans into Keziah a little when she hugs him.

"Thanks," he says haltingly.

"You're welcome. Are you gonna be okay?"
pythbox: A book. (Default)

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Still shivering, he manages, "Yeah."
inherpiety: (k ~ but what if)

[personal profile] inherpiety 2013-10-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"What were there so many of?"

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"People," he says. "Chelsa... could make you - like somebody, or stop. I was with her a long time. She did a lot of - stopping. When somebody left, or died. So we wouldn't be..." He trails off, shuddering.
segreant: (n ~ that's not good)

[personal profile] segreant 2013-10-22 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"That's what the gook was?" shudders Céleste.

Corona nods unhappily, with his head still mostly tucked into his arms.
segreant: (k ~ a good book)

[personal profile] segreant 2013-10-22 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
The Griffins go on snuggling him.

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
That is good. They are good snugglers.

Eventually he uncurls enough to hug them back.

"Thanks," he says.

"You're welcome," says Keziah.

[personal profile] pythbox 2013-10-22 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
He takes a deep breath and lets it out again.

"I'm gonna go hug some Jokers," he says. "See you."

And he's gone.
