Kelebek followed Hjortur to the surface, offering a wave and a soft smile to Mnemo as she drew near. Mnemo wasn't much for social gatherings either, the poor dear, though she seemed to have mellowed a bit since becoming a mother herself. She wondered if Anxo was about, and cast a quick glance around for him before taking Hjortur's offered hand.
As she drew out of the water, she remembered with a knot in her stomach how this process made her feel. Her long hair, so graceful underwater, stuck to her wet skin like seaweed. Her beautiful tail gone, and replaced by two awkward appendages that always threatened to collapse underneath her. Even now, in fact, she had to lean into Hjortur with a soft yelp and a giggle to avoid toppling altogether. She wrung out her hair as best she could over the side of the tank and tossed it over her shoulder. This might have looked sexy if it didn't come back around and slap her in the face.
Maybe she would have some of that land-dweller drink...

The plan was simple. Search the area first, then stay by the entrance in case he wasn't here yet. So the female was methodical in her search, scanning from one side of the room to the other. Thankfully, Wellspring stuck out like a sore thumb. Not every pae had a giant claw for a hand.
She ended up near a cheese fountain, and the smell made her stomach gargle.
No! She had to stay focused.
Scanning...scanning...A hand reached behind her to grab a piece of bread, eyes still flicking from pae to pae. AHA! A splash of blue, walking away from her. Well, almost jogging away. She scooped the bread into the cheese, stuffed it in her mouth, and took off after the sprite.
"Yeah, Millie." The male parroted at her question. "If you want a baby, Millie is who you see. Been that way for years. Many a pae has been blessed with a baby thanks to her." The fact though that she didn't know Millie answered his question on if dieties used her. Then again, they were gods. If anyone could make things happen for no reason, it was them.
He graciously accepted the goblet full of pure chocolate. It seemed odd for him to just...drink chocolate. But she was so pleased about it, he of course would oblige. Obviously she had some hand in this. He glanced over to the wedding chapel with a bit of a wince. Marriage, oh boy. "Why would they even set up a booth here, when there's alcohol." He murmured, knowing full well many a couple would enter a union not easily separated. The fae shook his head to return his attention to Harmonia. "To a wonderful evening, in amazing company." He toasted, holding the goblet before him prior to pressing it to his own lips. It was a smooth chocolate, and rather quite delicious. A delicacy really, considering he didn't live in the City and had no cocoa beans. "Oh, this is really good. Almost as sweet as you."

Kelebek reeled a bit in surprise, and with the unexpected weight of her wet hair, causing her to stumble even more into his arms. She tried to shoot Hjortur a black look, but her mouth was turned up at the corners. Quickly she straightened up and corralled her hair behind her. "Hush, you," she grumbled good-naturedly, giving him a gentle shove.
Secretly Kelebek was thrilled! She hadn't heard that laugh in what seemed like forever. She hooked her arm in his again and tried to remember how to make these damned legs work, taking a couple hesitant steps toward the nearest fountain. There were glasses all around it, so she assumed the liquid flowing from it was intended for drinking. "C'mon," she said, wobbling in that direction. She always leaned too far forward in her torso when she tried to walk, mimicking her movements in the water, which caused her to tend to fall forward on land. The air was much less forgiving than the water if one lost one's balance.

He earned a thoughtful expression, equal parts respect for whatever he had to say and confusion. Brow knitted, her hand went to rest a knuckle on her lip to consider that little bit of information. Was Millie a deity? Couldn't be, she'd know her if she was. Some sort of mortal magic as far as she was concerned. Other than Mother, of course, no others were born til this Mortal interaction began. Of course all of them were related so...ew. "I am glad she was/is here? Strong power to do that."
Giving a shudder as if a frozen finger danced down her spine instead of the one she actually wanted, his comment gained a good distraction. Looking closer at the boy with the chapel, her words followed a logic known only to her, "Thats actually a better shot the soulbindings of past events. No arrow through the heart, or clap of thunder, as it were. Hopefully" Breezily alluding to a common illustration used to describe an event the Mortal would never understand. This was easy enough , avoiding her adorable nephew was sad but easy. "Marriages make Mother happy, such love and harmory." The last part earned a hand to her heart over a generous bust to express her own approval.
Sure Marriage wasn't for her as it wasn't anything he ever seemed interested in. There was no arguing how much she adored other pae's marriages. When they were right. Poor Abby.
Twisting her smile into a little extra curve to high light the cupids bow of her own lips, she watched him drink the chocolate as she sipped on her wine.
Well, she meant to sip on it but it seemed after one taste it was gone. Well that was rude. Where did the wine go?! His words reached through the pleasantly warm fog to grab her like no other had in ages, "Huh? Oh Thank you! This stuff is smooth and gone too soon.." That earned a pout even though her eyes were soley on him dilated full on as warmth enveloped her like velvet so smooth the Goddess didn't register what was going on.
Ohh, they should go visit her nephew?! "Less go say hi to weddingman!" Oh that sounded like a great idea! Reaching down to grab her skirts that weren't there she started forward happily dragging Tristen towards the wedding chapel to go say hi!
Quote: Staffy: This current post is a joke and play on marriages during the event not an actual demonstration of intent to marry. Venus please don't punish her it was the wine ;.;

"I-I don't know who this Wellspring is you're talking about!"
His voice was shaky, had shot up an octave, and was wholly and fully unconvincing.
With her yelling at him, curious pae in his way seemed to part to watch the spectacle unfold, probably their first source of entertainment for the night. He could handle that; he was used to being the butt of everypae's joke. But he was not going to let Aurelia catch up to him!
Like that, it was like he tripped a flag.
And by flag, what happened was that he lost his footing trying to turn a corner too quickly, causing him to fully commit to falling straight forward and right on his face. With only one hand to catch him, it was hardly graceful.
But as it happened, as he fell, the world had seemed to move in slow motion.
He knew.
He'd was fuxxxd.
Quickly flipping onto his rear, he scooched himself backwards along the tiling before his back hit the wall, leaving him with no outs. He raised his one hand, his voice still shaky. "I... I can explain..."

He nodded to her statement, it made sense Venus would stick the booth in here. But it still made him uneasy to make weddings so easily accessible. He took another sip from his chocolate, and blinked at Harmonia as suddenly her glass was empty! Wow. Didn't take her for such a wine lover.
And that was just fine with him! He was just thrilled to be here at all. A wide grin spread cheek to cheek. "I'm glad the wine is good! Now- ah wha, wedding?" Wait, wait. Did she. Did she WANT to get married? To him? Was that why she pointed him out? That was so...
SWEET! She loved him so much she wanted to marry him! The thought filled him with further glee. "Oh Harmonia! I don't know what to say!" Now he did have enough sense to remember marriage = bad. After a few steps of being dragged towards the red wedding man, he quickly wrapped an arm around her waist to swing her around to the opposite direction. "But first, there's so much else to do! We should dance! I do love dancing with you."
Evilsilverdragon Tris to Harmonia XD Babysitter hat on with rose colored glasses
Did. Did he really just say that. It would've been comical if it didn't make her so mad! Needless to say, she didn't believe his statement. "Wellspring!" She didn't mind the stares, she had tunnel vision. Just him. She rounded the corner after him, only to see him sat on his rear, scooting up into a wall. "There you are! And that is exactly what I came here for!" The wolf walked right up to him, staring down so he had no place to go. Her hands planted on her hips as her tail swished side to side in irritation.
Oh he was handsome. Guardians the flashes of them twisted in the sheets. She felt her heart beat quicken far more than it had in the chase. "What do you take me for huh? I have feelings you know!"

Beads of sweat had started to run down the sprite's back as she struggled to look at her, his eyes looking there, then away, then there, then away, then there again before settling on away.
He just couldn't look her in the eyes.
When he did, guilt and heated memories from last year threatened to come up.
He swallowed, his throat dry.
"Aaaah.... ha... ha..." His voice was hoarse. "Y-you're..." he voice dropped to a mumble his head even turning away from her now. "...a blood pae, of course..."
The entire time, his hand remained held up in an attempt to show his defeat and try to placate her. Spirits this was even worse than last time; what had he gotten himself into? He shoulda known better... Why did she have to come here? What had he done to deserve all this!
"Listen!"
His voice shot up in tone again as he looked to the crowd.
"Last year was a mistake - I don't know what got the better of us, but it couldn't be helped. It'd probably be best to just forget it ever happened and move on with our lives."
It might have been a decent argument if his words weren't so hurried, strained, and if he could meet her eyes.

Holding on to Asrun tightly, Alioki gave one full spin slower then his energy level seemed to dictate. Fanning the area around him once with quick flutters of his wings, he happily placed an arm around her waist while keeping the same one firm on her hand.
For a moment his chin rested on her head with all right in the world. Only, music he could feel rather than hear spurred movement. "We'll show 'em!" There was nothing he'd ever been taught that could prepare his body for what it wanted to do. Spin, turn kick up his feet just what did he do?!
"Pretties girl in the room is on the dance floor!" Boisterous noise shouted at the whole of the party practically daring any to try and argue with his claim. Only now they needed to actually dance which he was happy to lead with a hop and a step. Quick dancing didn't work well too close together, that much seemed to make sense only he wasn't keen on getting too far from her just had to move.
Motioning to a passing Cherub, avoiding calling the yellow demi-fauns floating around, she tried to get more wine. Hers had run away. At least one of the things was smart enough to take the glass from her. Only now she had her hand free to start towards that red and gold nephew. Harmony and love! Thats what she needed to recharge her batteries!
Supplying his answer, she smiled sloppily, "Say lessgo! And mo wine!" Her hand was up now as if raising a glass to the ceiling, or to the left. It was hard to tell when the room shifted as much as it was.
"Weeee!" Higher pitched then normal, she cheered with the shift in direction. One foot missed the memo remaining in place while the other leg rose right up into the air as her body fell back. Her arm around Tristan and his around her kept her safe. Implicit trust made this little maneuver fun not scary. "Dancing! Ooo thats a great idea" Registering just a little bit something about the prettiest girl and dance made its way to her ear. "Oh they are callin for usssss" Now she was on it pulling towards the floor.
Daisicle Close quarters jive can't go wrong, right?

Pucker Up, "dumbest name in the universe" preferred "Puck" and would fight anyone that knew his real name and they used it. Well, fighting dad was likely off the table, and a bit terrifying, but fighting with his mom over his name for the billionth time didn't change anything. Besides, he finally was able to strut his stuff at the party he'd only ever heard about. Dad talked about it, Mom talk gleefully about it, and Mom's friend Fluttershy cried about it. Exciting!
Standing beside his brother holding a tray of drinks, he held attention to Dad until relieved to have some fun do his job.
Once Himeros turned his back to go greet some ladies, Puck looked at his brother and gave a sly wink. "Let's try it." So Puck tried a sip off the top of one of the drinks. "S'good." he hacked out, and almost dropped his tray.
This annual party just wasn't of interest to Goddess of Little Fishes. Heck, she didn't even know she was a Goddess or related to these crazy people. She'd never even met her father or even knew she had one. The only good thing that came from this annual frenzy was her two perfect little girls. Anxo and Mnemo finally had the courage to confess their love. After being drunk and struck by Himeros arrows of course.
When she received the summons, she was confused. She was to play music at the party. The timid naiad demigoddess thought long and hard about whether she would answer the invitation. Her intuition told her to go. So, she'd managed to build up the courage to do so.
Arriving at the hotel was surreal.It was so big. The water channels and founts for naiad were simply amazing! It was thoughtful of the builder. She giggled at all the little fish sprinkled around in the channels. They'd managed to slip in too.
So her job was to "DJ" at an aquarium. The first thing to do was figure out what an 'aquarium' was, then find out what 'DJ' meant. The small little cherubs dressed in bellhop costumes had been zipping around to ensure people had what they needed and to help the lost. Mnemo was definitely lost.
"Excuse me! Hello?" She poked at one that was just floating there talking to another.
"Whuut?" it grumbled, as the conversation was interrupted. Clyde, the other cherub crossed his arms and glared at her.
"Where is the aquarium? And uhm, what is it?"
The cherubs laughed in unison.
"Lady, go that way and it's full of sharks and probably drunk pae." Bill, the cherub snickered at her.
That was rude.
So "that way" she went and to her astonishment, an aquarium was a marvelous thing! It was a huge place for naiad and fish to hang out, It was amazing. Mnemo slipped into the water, quickly ducking out of the way of the shark swimming by. She did not like them.
So now she had to find another cherub to help direct her. She saw one with a tiny cherub speedo, wearing a snorkel and she thought he might know. "Hello! I am supposed to DJ at this event. Can you help direct me to where and what I will be doing?"
The lil cherub waved her to follow him. Mnemo looked away as to not see tiny cherub butt cheeks so purposefully put on display. He pointed down to a set up with tables with spinner things and besides her on each side, large black boxes. She recognized none of it.
"What do I do?"
The chubby cherub swam down and put a hand on one spinny thing, then another hand on the other spinny thing. He moved them around and back and forth and as he moved them, different sounds and waves pulsed from the black boxes. Fascinating!
Mnemo took her place and started mimicking the cherub. And she started, the cherub pointed at a box full of more spinny things. (records) He changed one for her and she made a different sound. Oh! this was fun. And other naiad and pae with snorkels started moving to the pulses from the black boxes, Okay, I can do this! And she started spinning and scratching, mixing the soundwaves. It was like she was meant to do this. Now she knew why, out of all the other naiad, it was her they asked.
And while she was getting into it, a small boy approached her and startled her. "I'm uh, DJing?"
Menelie Just so you know what Mnemo is doing so Anxo and the girls can account for it. Or they can come with.
Zoran was just leaning back and flipping his fins with his arms behind his head. This naiad-friendly building was amazing.He also wondered when his boobies would arrive. He flipped over and slowly slinked to the front entrance. And there she was. In all her pink, strawberry goodness. He grinned when he saw her, but when she started crying, he winced a little. "What now?" he murmured to himself.
The orange naiad pulled himself out of the water channel and slowly, wobbled a bit as he tried to adjust to his land legs, and approached Fraise. He made sure to not sneak up and surprise her because he wasn't sure why she was crying. "Sugar, are you ok?"
