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.

"That kinda thing cannot be usual with dragons and their dragon-havers," says Lexi, "I mean mostly they go around dragon-shaped, right?"

[wildlymagical]

"Mostly they do," he agrees, "and mostly Bonded are not - like that. But my Bonded are very much like that."

[lexicality]

"Jokers," snorts Lexi.

[wildlymagical]

"Jokers," he agrees, grinning.

[lexicality]

"How come you haven't named your template?"

[wildlymagical]

He shrugs. "We were busy talking about other things. Or not talking."

[lexicality]

"Not talking," giggles Lexi.

[wildlymagical]

"My template likes to have a drink and sit quietly sometimes. I don't know what you're thinking." (Yes he does.)

[lexicality]

Lexi laughs harder.

[wildlymagical]

Lycaelon grins.

[lexicality]

"I have," giggles Lexi, while she calms down, "no idea what I'd do if I met a one of me who was a boy. It'd have to be a boy one for me to even wonder. An Alexander I guess."

[wildlymagical]

"I haven't done anything worth giggling about with mine. It's not out of the question, but none of us jumped at the chance."

[lexicality]

"Okay. I wonder if the purples are all the bisexual ones or something."

[wildlymagical]

...He laughs.

[lexicality]

"Except no, one of the Bells is bi, right, so that can't be quite it."

[wildlymagical]

"Which one?"

[lexicality]

"Cam. The boy one. Apparently Glass says the being a boy and the being bi don't have a lot to do with each other but we haven't found any bi girl ones yet. Two lesbians, though."

[wildlymagical]

"I don't think I knew that," says Lycaelon.

[lexicality]

"Cam is also one of the ones who sleeps around. It's him and Amariah."

[wildlymagical]

"I didn't know that either!" says Lycaelon.

[lexicality]

Lexi laughs. "Now you do!"

[wildlymagical]

"Yes," he says. "I feel so informed."

[lexicality]

"I bet Sarion would've told you if she knew you'd be so interested."

[wildlymagical]

"I don't think I knew I'd be so interested!"

[lexicality]

Lexi giggles. "Why do so many people want to sleep with alts of my sister, it's kind of weird!"
