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 think that people Bells have kids with are mostly templated... I guess it doesn't matter that much. But I'm curious."

[snowandsparks]

"I could ask my grandmother, she might know."

[newtimov]

"That sounds like a sensible solution!"

[snowandsparks]

Lucas nods, and tilts his head, and says, "She says she vaguely remembers that they were called something to do with jokes for some reason."

[newtimov]

"Jokers? I think Jokers. I don't really know very much about Jokers, except that Cam's boyfriend is one and they are most of the reason why Bellparties come with large rooms for people to have sex in."

[snowandsparks]

"There's - here? In this plant? Seriously?"

[newtimov]

"Under the main floor," he says, beginning to blush again.

[snowandsparks]

"Oh."

[newtimov]

Ike continues to blush!

[snowandsparks]

Lucas looks at the floor, and blushes too!

[newtimov]

Blush blush blush. Snuggle? Blush.

[snowandsparks]

Snuggle. "I'm probably coming off like some kind of uptight prude."

[newtimov]

"Um, not especially," says Ike. "Not any more than I am."

[snowandsparks]

"...I wasn't getting that from you at all. Blushing doesn't count."

[newtimov]

"Not even if it's a lot of blushing?"

[snowandsparks]

Lucas shakes his head.

[newtimov]

"Well. Okay," says Ike. "But I don't know, you didn't drop me or anything, you just said 'oh'."

[snowandsparks]

"It would be very bad if I reacted to being startled by dropping people!"

[newtimov]

He giggles. "Yes. And you weren't sufficiently horrified to drop me on purpose. So."

[snowandsparks]

"I wouldn't do that."

[newtimov]

"Aww," says Ike, snuggling him.

[snowandsparks]

Snuggles!

[newtimov]

"Val would probably drop me, if I was really annoying her and I was only four feet off the ground," he says, laughing. "You are nice! I like you."

[snowandsparks]

"Eh, I'd probably drop my little brother under the same circumstances, but I like you and he mostly gets on my nerves."

[newtimov]

Ike grins and snuggles him.
