Belle allows Jane to handle the guest list, and warns the kitchen that it will be serving many people, and makes sure that the living gardens are behaving themselves about maintaining paths for people to walk along, and she comes up with an enchantment to augment the castle's set of behavior so it can offer up appropriate music at appropriate times. She flies to Luc's village, and fetches him back, and tells him of the coming festivities, and assigns him to develop an introductory description of what enchanting is so that she can delegate tedious repeated introductory descriptions of it to him. Jane gives her advance notice of the nametag conventions, and she considers an enchanting solution but does not think it is best suited; she wishes the system into place instead.
She does like having wishes.

The pile of Jokers is getting along just as you'd expect! They have convinced the castle to produce a bed big enough for the whole pile of them and then some, and they are all cuddled up on it, talking and laughing and kissing and doing various related activities.

Amariah looks for her sweeties and inserts herself thereabouts. "Hi sweeties. All us Bells have wished up powers like Rose's but we have to do lots of enchanting to get auras like hers."

"Sounds like a quandary," observes Nathan. "Takes five years' worth of a Bell with no other magic but enchanting to get a Rose-sized aura."

Everyone else snuggles a little bit closer, not quite all at once. He closes his eyes and smiles.

"It was an awfully cute little asteroid," he says. "And I got to see Milliways plenty - I used to only see the place in my dreams, y'know, and I only get those when I'm trapped somewhere."
He shrugs.
"I still would've killed myself eventually, but that didn't make it not fun in the meantime. And instead I met you," he gives Nathan a quick kiss, "and I like you better than death."
