SLUMBER PARTY! The Silva Regia tower outside of Barton town has been decked out in paper lanterns and streamers for the occasion of the Aduthule sleepover. The garden paths are lit merrily with colored lights, a campfire glows in the back yard, ringed with stones and logs to perch on. Near the fire a long table holds fixins for roasting marshamallows, pie irons and bags of bread ready for the various pie fillings and pizza toppings to make campfire pies, hotdogs, and foil wrapped potatoes. Bowls of chips, pretzels, and other snack foods are set out as well. Large jugs of Lemonade and water are set beside stacks of plastic cups, plates, and utensils.
Scattered a ways from the fire are several large tents, each one able to fit 4-6 Aduthule, filled with airmattresses, pillows, and sleeping bags. Each one has a battery-powered Coleman lantern to use for light.

Sedare calmly arranged the items on the long table with a serene smile on her face. The silvery Thule was absorbed with tidying items and didn't even notice the expression of pure glee on her sibling's face. She carefully turned the pointed ends of the marshmallow roasing forks away from the edge of the table.
Saevire skipped about from tent to tent, tossing pillows in. She'd worked on Sajhiri long and hard to get her to move the slumber part out of the girls' room, where her precious treasures might be compromised, to a yard camping event. She couldn't care less if flowers got trampled or the yard burned down, but she'd be darned if one of those babies would touch her pirate hat!
Sajhiri finished doubling the ring of stones around the fire for safety purposes. "Girls! Your guests should be arriving soon." She smiled at the excitement of her daughters.

Ecavi was walking calmly towards the Silva Regia tower just outside Barton, as some streamers and laterns indicated this is where a party was going on. She carried a small overnight bag with her, and was leading the day and night aduthule along at a slow pace. The nearer the more she chattered nervously to them.
"Myze," she said glancing at the night thule, "You have to remember what I said- you have to be good.."
The night thule glanced up at her guardian, but remained expressionless. She'd been warned, what happened with that black and red thule who'd broken her hair pin had been an example of what not to do. Of course, she had no intention of being nice if he was there- it was his fault her hair was braided.
Myze turned her attention back to the building they were approaching. Despite her apathetic expression, she was a little frustrated- she didn't like being in groups, and that was obviously the plan for this thing. The only thing keeping her going was the possibility of seeing someone she knew, and didn't mind.
Ceri skipped along beside Ecavi, overjoyed to be going somewhere- especially after her guardian had explained what was going on. She'd get to meet a bunch of new people, and that all she really cared about. Giggling occassionally along the way, she was too excited to notice the slight emotion coming from her twin.
When they reached the tower, Ecavi nervously stepped up to the front door to knock.

Hearing the knock, Sajhiri bustled off to the door to open it. "Welcome! I'm glad you could make it. The girls are outback, so come on through and feel free to leave your things in one of the tents. We decided to make it a camping type sleepover!" She gestured Ecavi, Myze and Ceri towards the french doors leading to the grounds out back where the campfire could be seen cheerily crackling.

"Hello," Ecavi greeted Sajhiri, "Sounds like fun." She smiled and stepped in and to the side so the girls could come inside and head for the backyard as well.
Ceri gaped at the inside of the house- it was different from all the other houses she'd seen (as she was coming to realize about most houses.) She immediately wandered away from the expected direction towards something particularly shiny or special looking.
Luckily, having visited people before, Ecavi expected this and caught her before she could harm anything.
"No, Ceri," She murmured, picking up the day thule to take her outside.
Ceri struggled in her guardian's arms, but soon settles for looking- until she'd led outside and spots the campfires, and tents. She gasped, starting to struggle once more.
"Alright, alright," Ecavi laughed quietly, setting her down.
Myze watched as Ceri went straight for one of the fires without noticing either of the aduthule that were also out there. She stepped off to the side, and just looked on. There were only a couple people there, she could avoid them all if she wanted to.

Sedare made her way calmly over to get between Ceri and the fire. She smiled serenely at the day thule and her tail swished back and forth in a soothing rhythym. "Welcome to the party. Be careful of the fire...it''s hot. But we''ll toast marshmallows and hotdogs later when everyone gets here! Would you like some lemonade?"
Saevire scowled a moment at the Thule trying to run to the fire. "Bloody crazed little bugger" she murmured before sizing up the darker thule. She leapt over and perched on a log, her eyepatch and cutlass locked in her room at the moment by Sajhiri. "Yarr...who be ye mateys?"

Ceri stopped her attempt to go to the fire when Sedare stepped up. She looked up at the silver thule as she welcomed her and began explaining some things to her. Not as interested in the fire, or the lemonade she was being offered, as she was the thule infront of her she ignored the little speech and started waving up at her.
Myze watched Sedare a moment before Saevire leapt towards them. She stayed silent, looking the thule over from head to tail, wondering about how she spoke.
Ecavi gave a small laugh, "This is Myze, and the other one is Ceri." She hesitated a moment before she continued, smiling, "And I'm Ecavi- I'll just put their stuff in a tent and be on my way. Does it matter which tent?"

Sajhiri joined the group in time to hear Ecavi and she smiled. "I'm Sajhiri, and this is Sedare, " indicating the silver thule, "And Saevire" indicating the red and black one. "You can put their things in whatever tent they wish."
Sedare waved back at Ceri with a smile. She gestured to one of the logs in front of the fire. "Would you like to sit?"
Saevire began tossing woodchips into the fire, spitting on them first so they'd make a crackle sound when they hit the flames.

"It's nice to meet you all," Ecavi said cheerfully, then moved to look down at Myze, "Want to pick out a tent, Myze?"
Myze glanced at Saevire and Sajhiri before nodding to her guardian- finding a tent would be a good excuse to stay away from these people. Her violet eyes looked over the tents. Finally getting to her feet, she followed Ecavi over towards them, taking her time at each one.
Ceri looked from Sedare to the log, babbling cheerfully, "Mehr char." She walked over to one of the logs and sat down on it- smiling at Sedare. She sat for a moment before noticing Saevire and the crackling fire she was beside. With a giggle she got up from her seat and started towards the red thule.

Lena looked at the paper again which announced the detailed address of the Aduthule sleepover. This tower had to be right. "Here we are boys." The mother announced as she carried the green and the blue Thule towards the tents. She desperately hoped that Gaspar would behave this time...biting people in public wouldn't help him to find new friends.
"Hello ?" She called as she spotted some unfamiliar people.
Gaspar looked around and eyed the pack on Lena's back suspiciously. They had brought HIS things to sleep on and hopefully nobody would take it away. Was it a party ? Did you get presents at parties ?
Carlos instead just waved with his tail and his hands, wiggling in excitement. This would be so much fun !

The expression on Saevire's face at Ceri's approach seemed to screech "Drat, I've attracted it's attention!" but she held her ground. She peered down at the smaller Thule. "Ye be a shiny one, arrrr!"
Sedare chuckled a bit at her sister's antics before she settled delicately down on a log herself and retrieving a sketchbook and pencil from behind it.
Sajhiri smiled at Ecavi. "The girls have been looking forward to this for days now."

Ceri, smiling widely, waved cheerfully to Saevire. Her smile lessened at the thule's strange tone of voice. She'd never heard anyone speak like that before! Did many people talk like that?
"Yeh c-tak dibert ad aw yeh tanle un?!" She babbled, trying to question her.
"Oh, Ceri's been looking forward to this," Ecavi replied, glancing over at Ceri's attempt to make conversation and smiling.

Sajhiri facepalmed at Saevire's theatrics. "For months now she's been under the delusion she's a pirate. I locked up her pirate gear for the party. I was worried she'd poke people with her wooden cutlass or make smaller Thule walk the plank." She chuckled a bit.
"Yaaarrrr!" Saevire responded to Ceri, squinting one eye up tight and raking her claws through her tail. "Maybe ye'd like to be a member of my pirate crew!"
Sedare continued to giggle at her sister as she began sketching the two new Thule who'd arrived.

As Lena finally spotted the other Thule she smiled. "Is this the right place for the Thule sleepover...? I'm Lena and this are Gaspar and Carlos." She pointed at the two wiggling boys, who were quickly put onto the ground before they could fall down.
Gaspar looked at all the others and as he didn't see the Crow he sighed out of relief. But...who was the shiny one ? How was anybody able to become so shiny ?
Carlos instead just smiled and fluttered with his wings in anticipation. "Cawos." He announced.
