Carrying bulging plastic bags in both hands, Ying tiptoed into Etansel's main building, stopping at the door of the Clarius' chamber. It was slightly ajar, but no noise was coming from inside. The Clarius was either asleep or out, and either situation was fine with Ying. With a somewhat maniacal grin plastered on her face, she started to pull things from the bags- crepe paper, balloons, glitter, a pinata, a tablecloth, and food from chips and dip to a lemon cake in a white cardboard box.
Crystal had been sick too long. Now that she was better (and bigger), they needed to celebrate. And there were two new Jumi to meet as well. By Ying's reasoning, the only thing to be done was throw a party.
Crepe paper in one hand and tape in the other, Ying marched to the nearest wall and began to decorate. Hopefully others would show up soon- though not Crystal she prayed, as the party was supposed to be a surprise for the Clarius- and help her decorate.

Marching up the stairs, Em held some home-baked cookies Kira demanded she bring to the party. Swinging the plastic bag without a care in the world, she led the way to the Clarius' chamber where Ying was busy decorating away. Turning her head left and right, she made sure Crystal wasn't around. Afterall, she wouldn't want to ruin the suprise.
Poking her head through the doors, she spotted the violet-haired girl and smiled, "Ying, it's Em and Kameko. We've come to help out, we also brought some cookies Kira made for us. Is there anything in particular you'd like us to help out with?" She questioned.
Setting down the cookies by the side of the door, she was careful not to drop them. The delicious aroma of the cookies was starting to make Em hungry. Though, she knew it was best to help out first before eating.
Following Em's head, Kameko was quiet as usual. She watched as Ying frantically paraded around the chamber in order to set up decorations. What could she do, though? She's never had parties before, nor has she ever gone to one. How did they function? What was the purpose? She knew it was to celebrate Crystal feeling better and the "birth" of two new Jumi, but she still questioned in the back of her mind what they were for.
Buru followed beside Em while dancing in the air. He didn't feel like standing, so he swooped down into the ground to grab a balloon. Blowing with all his might into the balloon, his face was turning more blue then usual. The lack of air in his body started to make him feel slightly light-headed and dizzy. With poor circulation to his brain, his next decision was not the wisest. He let go of the giant balloon, letting it fly wherever the air inside took it.
But now that he could breathe again, he went after the balloon again despite Em's protests. Blowing into it once more, he did it right this time. Trying to wrap his fingers [if they have fingers] around the hole of the ballon, he attempted to tie it several times before giving it up to let Em tie it for him. Hanging the balloon up on the wall, he was quite proud of his accomplishments even if Kameko felt like she wanted to stuff him in a bag until the light of day ceases.

*Kendra blinked as she eyed her reflection. Phara had brought her a pretty new dress to wear, but wouldn't say why. It was mostly blue, with a seafoam green ribbon about the waist and similarly colored trim. There was even a matching blue ribbon for her hair. She liked it well-enough, but still wished she knew what it was for. Some kind of party or special occasion obviously, but for what purpose?*
*Meanwhile, Phara was busy baking cupcakes. A lot of cupcakes. Perhaps too many cupcakes, but there they were. She hummed as she worked at frosting them, every once in awhile taking a bite from the two she'd set aside just for that purpose. Baking was hungry work, after all*

"Oh, Ema-chan, come in!" Ying waved with one hand, using the other to tear a piece of tape off the roll, with help from her teeth. The walls were almost done streamer-wise, which was good. But there was still a lot to do.
After a moment's thought she turned her head over he shoulder. "Cookies sound good! I've got a cake from DS-okaasan, and a whole bunch of other things in the bags. If you or Kameko-san could put the tablecloth on first and start with the food, that would be great!"
A spark of green and darkness zoomed out of Ying's pocket, whizzing curiously around the shadows of the new guests. It tired of that soon enough, and tried to land on Kameko's head.
While Buru was busy with his balloon, a leafy head poked out of one of the many bags. It surveyed the Jinn with suspicion, finally climbing out of its plastic nest as the other creature returned released the balloon. Or trying to. The lack of legs made it tricky, and the Dryad ended up falling face-first on the floor.

Waving at Ying, she looked like she could use some help with the streamers at first, but now that she was done...What could she do now? Nodding at the girl's comment, she grabbed the plastic tablecloth from the bag and released it from its package. Placing the plastic package on the ground since she couldn't locate a garbage can, she walked towards the long, rectangular table while waving Kameko to come with.
Too busy to notice the hasty creature popping out of Ying's pocket and towards Kameko, she just assumed the girl was busy with other preparations. Em unfolded the large tablecloth and threw it onto the table before walking around on all sides to make sure it was relatively smooth and even.
When Em waved her hand on, Kameko tried to walk towards the green-haired girl before a hasty creature seemingly appeared from nowhere. Swatting away the intruder that tried to land on her head, she scowled at the green creature. What was it trying to do to her? She wanted to help, but at the same time she was quite busy trying to shoo away the little thing.
Buru soon grew tired of blowing up balloons. All the while, he couldn't see the little Dryad climbing out of the plastic bags, so without a thought, he picked up one of them in hopes of helping out his Jumi companion. Feeling the weight was heavier than he could normally lift, he tried even harder, closing his eyes and tightening his lips. Pulling three more times, his efforts were fruitless.
One last time! He told himself. The little Jinn tried again, the bag did lift up, but it was too heavy for him to sustain. It must've weighted like a ton of bricks! In time, gravity took its course and dropped the plastic bag with the contents inside while Buru went flying backwards.

It didn't take too long for Ying to finish with the streamers. Sticking the half-finished roll of tape around her wrist like a bracelet, she went back into the middle of the room and looked for something else to do. She really didn't want to blow up balloons. The glitter was tempting, but it was something she'd really brought for younger kids. Finally her eyes landed on the pinata. Grinning, she grabbed it and looked around for a good place to hang it.
It seemed that buzzing around was annoying one of the girls. Perfect. Tsavorite increased her speed gleefully, making sure to stay in darker areas. The building itself screamed of light, which was bothersome as it was. Coming into direct contact with it would be stupid.
Thankfully the Jinn was well away from the bag Paru had parked himself in. The Dryad pushed himself up and shook his body out, much like a dog would. Then it finally got a glimpse of Buru, and laughed silently. How silly it looked! Of course, he had looked pretty silly just a few seconds earlier...

*Phara set the last cupcake into the last container and sealed on the lid. She licked frosting off her fingers and turned to the sink to wash her hands. Glancing around the kitchen, she was satisfied that everything was ready here. Then she looked down at herself and realized she looked a mess* "Maybe just a quick shower..." *she told herself, and pulled off her apron before heading towards her room*
*Kendra watched as Phara walked past her with a little wave* "A quick shower and then we'll go." *she promised, continuing on. Kendra still had no idea where they were going to, though. She wandered into the kitchen, looking at the many containers of cupcakes and wondering how they would carry them all*

Observing the table cloth some more, Em smoothed out the little bits of wrinkles before heading off to the other side of the room. She watched as a blob of blue flew past her, the Jumi blinked in confusion, unaware of what just flew past her. Ignoring the blob, she skittered onward towards all the food and containers on the ground.
Both skinny arms lifted up several plastic bags of food and beverages. With a huff of breath, the girl walked torwards the tables with the food. Once she settled down, one by one she lifted and placed everything according to how they should. Vegitables and dip on the left, chips and other junk foods on the right, while all the "main" healthy foods were in the middle.
Once everything was placed, she opened up their proper containers and placed them back into their plastic bags. Then she proceeded to setting up silver-ware, plates, cups and napkins. After she was done, she tilted her head torwards Ying, and in a cheerful tone of voice said, "Ying-chan, I have the table set up. Is there anything that you need help with?"
Kameko shot an icy cold glare at the annoying creature. She wanted to help Em with whatever she was doing, but was totally distracted by the floating abyss. With another swat of her hand, she quickly paced over torwards Em, apologzing slightly for not being of any help. While she was relieved that her friend was not offended in anyway[not that she would be], a small pool of guilt built up inside her still.

"I don't think so, Ema-chan" Ying frowned, looking around. The chamber was definitely looking more festive, and the food was all set up. The only thing that they really lacked was a guest list, or rather the guests.
A simple swat wasn't enough to deter the tiny gem. Tsavorite bobbed over to where the Jumi had congregated, getting ready to swoop in again.
Before she could, however, Ying grabbed the fiend in a practiced swipe. "That's enough out of you," she grumbled, putting Tsavorite in her purse and zipping it shut. "I'm sorry if she bothered you, Kameko-san. As for what else to do... I'm not sure. I was hoping more people would have arrived by now."
