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.

Sarion knows perfectly well that Lycaelon is not generally a party person, so she (Ansharil on her shoulder in purple furry winged creature form, tail around her neck) goes and checks on him after she has welcomed incoming contingents to her world.

Lycaelon has found himself a mostly-enclosed roomlet halfway up a wall, partway up an enclosed flight of stairs and with only a narrow balcony overlooking the main room. He suspects it was made with him in mind.

"Hello, Isibel," he says.
Permalink

"I See you. I hope the quantity of people is not too overwhelming even with this little retreat. I will leave you more thoroughly alone, if you prefer."

Permalink

He smiles. "I'm all right. No one's bothered me yet. Thank you, though."

Permalink

"You are welcome. I believe," she adds, "that both of your alts have appeared today. I was not sure if they would."

Permalink

"I wonder where they are," he says. "I haven't seen them."

Permalink

"I caught glimpses when Jane first brought them here, but there are dozens of guests and I soon lost track. I could go and find them easily enough if you would like them invited up here to meet you."

Permalink

"Well, I would like to meet them..." he says consideringly.

Permalink
"I will go and see if this interest is reciprocal." She pecks him on the cheek, and teleports first to the Peace instance.

"I See you."
Permalink

"Hi," says Howlett, raising an eyebrow.

Permalink

"I am Isibel Sarion. The local instance of your template, my co-Bonded Lycaelon, has expressed interest in meeting you."

Permalink

He shrugs. "All right."

Permalink

She takes that as consent to teleport him to where Lycaelon is. Pop!

Permalink

Howlett looks at Lycaelon.

Permalink

Lycaelon looks at Howlett.

Permalink

"You're so young," he says finally, shaking his head.

Permalink

"You're not that old... is this a magic thing?" he wonders.

Permalink

He snorts, and explains, "Mutant. The local not-magic thing. I'm older than I look, and I'm not gonna look any older."

Permalink

"...How much older than you look...?"

Permalink

"Three hundred years," he says. "Give or take. I'm sure about the last hundred and seventy of them, but before that it gets patchy."

Permalink
"This may or may not make you the oldest human in the party. I will go and look for the third one of you."

And she goes and looks for the third one of them.
Permalink

"Hi," says Luhan, raising an eyebrow. He is remarkably similar to Howlett: same apparent age, same mannerisms, roughly the same style of dress and personal grooming.

Permalink

"I See you. Your alts have met, and you could join them, were you so inclined."

Permalink

"Might as well," says Luhan.

Pop!
