Author: giftedandtalented	[Hey, Kers, Aelise, we've worked out a party time and place, it's tomorrow, five p.m. your time, in Thilanushinyel - are you guys gonna come?]
Author: salus_populi	[Well,] says Aelise. [That depends. Approximately how unwelcome am I going to be?]
Author: giftedandtalented	[Eh, Golden and Elspeth and possibly other Aurumites who had bad Chelsea experiences are not going to be your best friends. I'll run interference if they glare at you or anything.]
Author: salus_populi	[And they will be a relatively small proportion of guests, I suppose. All right.]
Author: queensidecastle	[I think I'll pass,] says Kers. [I'd rather not travel out of the universe if I can avoid it.]
Author: giftedandtalented	[How come?] Tab inquires of Kers.
Author: queensidecastle	[It would be inconvenient if I got stuck or ran into some unforeseen kind of trouble.]
Author: giftedandtalented	[I suppose that would be problematic, yeah.]
Author: queensidecastle	[Have fun!]
Author: giftedandtalented	[Will do!] [Hey Luhan, do you want to come to the Bellparty? It's tomorrow, two-thirty p.m. New Toronto time. You can meet your alts.]
Author: areyouabeer	[Short notice,] he observes. [Not that I have plans.]
Author: giftedandtalented	[We were juggling some scheduling stuff. There'll be another one next time we find a new Bell or there's some similar occasion, if the notice is too short.]
Author: areyouabeer	[Are my alts going to be there?] he inquires.
Author: giftedandtalented	[The native one in the world we're holding the party at will be. I'm not sure about the Peace alt.]
Author: areyouabeer	[I wouldn't bet on him showing up. But what do I know? Maybe he likes these things. Sure, I'll go. Meet the local guy.]
Author: giftedandtalented	[Cool. I'll pick you up when it's starting.]
Author: areyouabeer	[That's handy, thanks.]
Author: giftedandtalented	[You're welcome.]
