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.

Lycaelon awws.

[keyed_up]

"I don't just mean I have one in my world like I'd mean if Bella said that -"

[lexicality]

"Oh my god, I can never remember to call mine 'Aurora', either."

[keyed_up]

"Heh. Juliet. I mean me and my Tony are dating and he's awesome."

[wildlymagical]

"I thought it might be something like that," says Lycaelon.

[keyed_up]

"Anyway I've lost track of him."

[lexicality]

"Well, he'll turn up. Or you could brainphone him."

[keyed_up]

"Yeah, I could, but I could also mill around the party looking the long way around in case I run into anyone interesting on the way!"

[wildlymagical]

"That sounds... potentially exciting."

[keyed_up]

"Hey, I ran into Lexi, who everybody thinks I should meet, that's something."

[lexicality]

"Aurora kinda wanted to meet you," remembers Lexi. "I guess Juliet's already met me though."

[keyed_up]

"Okay, I'll look for her at some point, then." Soph glances at Lycaelon. "I'm, uh, newer than I look, is why she hasn't already met me."

[wildlymagical]

"Oh," says Lycaelon. "I don't hardly know how new anyone is; this is my first Bellparty."

[keyed_up]

"I think my newness might actually be the weirdest newness, if only because Sherlocks have happened several times? I look and feel seventeen but I was made with all my and everybody else's memories intact to account for me like a couple months ago, out of some mystical energy that someone wanted to put in a safe place. Except it didn't work on Bella, because, opacity, so she didn't know who I was."

[wildlymagical]

"...Wow," says Lycaelon.

[keyed_up]

"But then she figured out what happened, so she made a fork of herself that remembered me and then merged and now she remembers things both ways and we're okay."

[wildlymagical]

"Well, that's good."

[keyed_up]

"Yeah. Also the spell couldn't get ahold of stuff that wasn't in Sunshine, or duplicate torching or any really big coin effects, so I remembered being unable to leave the world or get any good hexed powers or be torchabled, and then once I actually existed I could."

[wildlymagical]

"That must have been strange."

[lexicality]

"Wow, yeah."

[keyed_up]

"Yeah, I remembered her worrying about me all the time because Sunshine is dangerous and I wasn't as safe as her or Tony or Sherlock."

[lexicality]

"If I woke up one day and Bella couldn't remember me I would be so pissed off at her, wow."

[keyed_up]

"Well, at first I thought she was joking. And then I thought something was wrong with her. And then I found out something was wrong with me."

A Tony emerges from some nearby stairs, spots Soph, and waves. (It is her one.)

[keyed_up]

Her Tony is best Tony! "Hi! I was looking for you but I found Lexi instead!"
