Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Hjortur had invited her to the Venus Day celebrations again this year, Kelebek had been delighted. Especially as now they were companions not simply as parents of their two rambunctious little ones--who were decidedly less little now--but as lovers. The thought always filled her with warmth and made her heart flip in her chest. She'd spent days daydreaming about what this excursion would be like with him, with some ideas that made her blush.

She hadn't been prepared, however, for his entire extended family coming along. Kelebek shouldn't have been surprised--she knew well how important his family was to him, and it was one of the things she loved most about him--but somehow she felt intimidated by their presence. Especially the presence of his mother. Which really wasn't logical at all--they were adults, doing nothing wrong, and yet she always felt the need to hide when Vera was around.

She'd been silent for this whole conversation. After all, what would she have added? Nothing of value. She merely clung to Hjortur's side and tried to make herself invisible. If they'd still been underwater, she might have.

Relief flooded over her as he motioned toward the beach. She nodded wordlessly, trying not to look too desperate to get free of this crowd. Crowds still made her nervous, even they were family. She just...really wanted some time alone with him. Besides, on the beach they could dip their fins--er, toes? is that what they were called?--into the water and feel much refreshed.

Xylia tapped her chin with a finger lightly, all sounded super awesome but she needed to do something or the trip to the island would be a waste "I think, I 'am going to start with chilling in the lounge area and watching the waves and maybe go for a swim, a little later on in the day" she answered nodding her head. She glanced at Seneca "Thank you, for your suggestions, I hope to see you around more" she said with a smile.



Harlequin took a moment to look over Shizzle briefly as well "That is quite alright, I'm partially at fault too since I wasn't paying attention to where I was going either" he said and extended out his hand and shook Shizzle's, before he forgot his own manners "My name is Harlquin." he answered . He shook his head lightly "Nope, no harm or injury. I'm just intrigued, I've never been on an island before" he said to the other.

"You really think your grandmother will like these?" Ruby was looking down to the neatly wrapped gift she was holding. "And are you sure your mother isn't going to be here? I left her present on the boat...Maybe I should go back and get it." Poor Ruby was sorta panicking. Adelphos family was gods after all and after his mother accented to be one of them last year...She didn't want to become a god herself but damn if she didn't feel like she had to impress them! They could smite her with a bat of an eye...Even if they had been noting but nice.

Ruby shook the present lightly. She could hear the rattle of the custom earrings she had made for his Grandmother. She had managed to locate some rubies more on the pinker side this year and had cut them into hearts and turned them into earrings. It was so nerve raking. She was a goddess, she could get anything she wanted. Maybe it was the thought that counted


Amynta grinned as she wrapped one arm around her sister. "We're here~ What do you want to do first Neli?" This was the first of their great grandmother's parties they were old enough to be at and they were going to make the most of it. "Do we want to go boy hunting first orrr hit the bar orrrr-" Amy cut herself off as she grabbed the falling sack of flour that slipped out of her arms. "Why did I bring this thing? It's going to fall into the water knowing my luck...No it's gonig to throw itself in the water somehow." Amy grumbled and put the flour sack back in her baby wrap. "No matter how many times I put it in as tight as I can it still falls out. What is with this stupid thing and why does mom keep making me look after it?"

Yellow eyes watched all the many bodies milling off, around and about the boat. Perched atop one of the upper story railings, Krayyven huffed and crossed her arms about her chest. Why had she decided to come on this annoying thing again?

Oh right, because she wanted to escape a nagging 'mom' and have some fun.

Well.

Some fun.

Groaning, she spread her wings and with a push of her legs, lifted off from the boat, finding a nice and relatively lonely place to land. Her talons sank softly into the warm sand and she found herself gazing down at them, wiggling her toes to send ripples of warm tan grains spilling over her scales.

Ok. That was kinda nice. She had to admit she liked the weather over here as opposed to the ice and cold back home. Maybe she'd find something... or someone... to entertain herself here.

Maybe?

Pippin couldn't help but laugh, it was true, Daedalus did tend to just 'appear' sometimes. He would probably be here at any moment. Pippin's head dropped with her grandpa's response as her eyes flashed towards her brother and his... Girlfriend? It didn't really make sense why they would get legs and he wouldn't, but Pippin wasn't going to give up on her theory just yet, despite the harsh words from her grumpy grandpa. Her brother had wings, which were mostly useless underwater. Wings were for land, and legs were for land. Pippin shrugged her shoulders and remained quiet.

The red naiad glanced around now, beginning to think that if she wanted to find that companionship that she so longed for she was probably going to have to break away from her family. They all had somebody to be with, except for Kerianna, so they all would probably welcome the alone time. "Hey dad, I'm going to head..." She was going to head towards the bar, but Hjortur didn't need to know that. Sure, she was a grown up now, but she was still his little girl. "To my room, if I run into Daedalus I'll send him your way." She said with a smile as she walked off as quickly as she could manage towards the resort... And the bar.

Summer was nervous to come to the party she had never been one to be good with big crowds. She spent most of her time outside taking care of a flower garden that she grew. Summer had come to the party to help her get over her her fear of crowds. She had heard that this party was a big thing.

"I hope I do not stand out to much." She said to her self as she touched the roses in her hair. They made her feel confident. Looking around she hoped to find someone who was looking for someone she might get along with. She saw the food table and headed over to it.

Sugar Crystal was excited about the party every time she went to an event like this something interesting happened. Although she was not sure why interesting things happened for example her wings now were like sugar. It was probably because had a lot of good luck. So she figured that she would go to this party to see what would happen. Before she could do anything she headed to the bar to get a drink She noticed a red Pae with out wings. This caused Sugar Crystal bee line to her and tapped Pippin on the shoulder. "Hello My name is Sugar crystal you look pretty."

Holding her niece close for a few breaths, Harmonia pulled back so she could speak to the young lady properly. "I am afraid I was a little preoccupied on the boat." Her answer followed a chuckle, it was a bit of an understatement. No one could blame her with a champion like hers, even now she looked to where she had last seen him with fondness and pride.


"I am doing wonderfully, I love Mother's parties." For all the trouble they could bring, there was a measure of harmony and love that just won. "I am glad you are here, dear, it is wonderful to see you. You are doing well, I trust?" The last time Harmonia saw the darling girl was at her own well, Abby did so well with her mortal realm. Speaking of that trip, she was sure that Serenity was flitting about somewhere, she was another that Harmonia went out of her way.

She'd find the teen eventually, and it was a delight to see another of her little sisters hard at work greeting guests. Of course she knew Seneca but hardly interacted. With the teen's hard work greeting others, Harmonia made a note to seek her out as well. Good work aught to be acknowledge, heavens know it doesn't happen enough.

"Such a nice turn out", the commentary was directed at the crowed but her attention was back on Abby.


Lillibeth let Haku go into the jungle, even looked as if she wasn't going to follow him. Instead she went after a bow tie wearing Tikicat. Just after scaring the thing half to death she set about telling him to follow the little dirt gnome. Haku amused her, she could hardly let him off that easy.

From there she was back aloft watching over the expanded group. Other more plain harpies had joined the group but seemed oddly ground based. Most were in need of a spa for the week at least. A pity on the poor dears for the cruelty of genetics.
