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.

"So," says Stella, when she and Janine show up to the party, "do you want to meet the thirteen-year-old angel of yourself?"
(Her nametag says what it always says, in case Janine did not know her nickname; Janine's says she's a [Template Unnamed] who you can call Janine.)

"All right then..." Stella flies a couple feet in the air, enough to scan the crowd easily, then lands again. "This way." She greets most of the people they pass, but heads straight for Junia where she is with Keziah.

"Hi, Keziah, hi, Junia. Junia, this is your alt I mentioned, Janine."
cheerfulish
"I am given to understand that it is very likely!" says Janine.
"Wow, you are a me," says Junia.
"Wow, you are a me," says Junia.
cheerfulish
"We should choose a template name," says Junia.
Janine looks at her nametag, and looks at Junia's nametag, and says: "Jnis."
Junia giggles. "That is acceptable!" she says, and their nametags update accordingly.

"Your template, you can name it whatever you want," snorts Stella.

"So you did. Anyway, I already gave Janine the rundown on Samaria, but how much do you know about Eos?"
inherpiety
"Well, I've been hearing about it since I was little, even if I thought it was just bedtime stories for the first while, but I don't think everything worth knowing has come up with Junia yet..."
cheerfulish
"I do not know very much about Eos at all," says Junia. "It is a world that has an Earth and is more or less like other worlds with Earths, and some magic comes from it."
inherpiety
"Minting is from Eos, unless I'm mixing it up? And ingots. I might be an ingot but we don't know yet. So might my little sisters but probably not Damaris."
cheerfulish
"I am not either one of them," says Janine.
"Angels come from Samaria and I am one of those!" says Junia.
"I noticed," says Janine.

"Everybody who is an angel that I know on Samaria and isn't other places looks funny and overbalanced," says Keziah, waving at Janine and Stella both.
self_composed
"I did often use to overbalance. Not sure a set of wings would help. Hey, maybe Glass should look at you and see if you caught templatehood from me..." Stella waves Glass over.

And over comes Glass, and Stella must catch her up by brainphone, because she peers at Janine and says, "Yep."
cheerfulish
"I am not sure how I feel about that!" says Janine.
"Me neither," says Junia.
"Me neither," says Junia.
