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.

[Spiffy.]
Om nom nom Ike.
[Lemme know if you want me to stop distracting you so you can answer more complex questions.]

"No shortage," laughs Cam, pausing briefly in nibbles for some repositioning. Then he resumes. Nibble nibble.
lifes_sake
All good things. Cam is not going to get tired of them anytime soon.
Although he will observe: [We are both wearing shirts. Does that seem right to you?]

Ike supports this decision fully! Or he would, if he knew Cam had made it. He is definitely pleased about both the outcome and the process, anyway. Also it has been a long time since he has kissed Cam, and he is going to fix that now.
newtimov
Yeeeees.
(Ike's ribs are indeed angled funny, and his spine is human in general curvature but not in the shape or placement of individual vertebrae. It's not something you'd notice with his shirt on, but it's pretty obvious now. He is mostly not self-conscious about it; it's not like the fact that he's part demon is news.)

Cam has an only-mildly-academic interest in all these shapes. He will investigate them a little.
newtimov
...ooh.
Ike gets kind of squirmy when thusly investigated! But in a good way. With grinning.

That is good. Cam does check periodically to make sure that the squirms are good squirms.
lifes_sake
Good, good.
Eventually there is a natural lull in the proceedings during which the snuggle to nibble ratio is rather high.
"Have you formed an idea what you wanna do here?" Cam inquires lightly, putting a lock of hair behind Ike's ear.

"Not exactly..." says Ike. "I mean, I definitely have a general idea, but I am lacking in specific ones."
newtimov
"It involves the same broad category of thing that we have been doing for the last... hour or so? I have completely lost track of time."
