Siri had been planning this party for months. Invitations had been sent out weeks before, and now she was anxiously awaiting the arrival of those invited. Some of them she knew, but there were some who she didn't. She had gotten their names from various acquaintances and friends, and had invited them as well. She had a number of girlfriends, but she knew hardly any nice young mermen. So she was hoping that with tonight's party, that would change.
She was waiting by the door when the first guests began to arrive. "Welcome," she said. "I am Siri, and thank you for coming. Make yourself at home, and please, enjoy yourselves.

He had received his invitation the week before, and he had no idea who the hostess was, but he was not one to pass up a chance to meet ladies. Her name sounded nice, Siri. Short and sweet. He only hoped that the name was a reflection of the owner of it. He had spent a good thirty minutes buffing up his horn and polishing up his scales, and as he looked at himself in the mirror, he could think of no reason why the ladies tonight would not find him the most handsome mer in the room.
He swam up to the address on the invitation, and was pleased to see a pretty, young maiden waiting at the door. If she was any indication of the caliber of the other ladies invited tonight, it was going to be a most enjoyable evening. As she welcomed him, and introduced herself he smiled. So this was the Siri from the invitation. Their hostess for the evening. He smiled back at her and said, "Thank you Siri. I am Triton, and I am very pleased to meet you. I am sure that I will have a most enjoyable evening. That is if you will honor me with a dance later."
Ahti nodded politely at Siri as he swam through the entrance. He swam around it seemed like he was the first to arrive. Which to en extent showed he could be reliable and punctual, he stretched a bit and hummed quietly to himself. Waiting for some other guests to arrive, but he had nothing against being the first to arrive.
He stretched and swam around, looking at his surroundings. Perhaps if he was lucky he would meet a nice lady and make some friends at the same time. Though of course he didn't get out much so he was hoping this party would change that temporary and if he liked it he would consider going back out and exploring around some more. Everyone needed a few friends here and there it was a way to show that you had a good personality enough to make some friends and meet someone nice.

Siri nodded to Ahti as he swam past her. She turned her attention back to Triton and said, "I would be happy to dance with you Triton. As soon as more guests arrive, I will come inside. Keep an eye out for me, and when you are ready for that dance, you only have to come find me."

(Sorry I didn't post sooner! *fails* I'm assuming any mer somehow got an invitation and not just from the meta contest. <3 @Angelics- Wanna bring Dysmas and Tallulah to the party?)
Loturild had been delighted to get a party invitation. It had been so long since she'd attended one just for fun. As such, she and her maid had spent hours getting ready. When the time finally arrived that they had to leave, Loturild bustled them both out. She chattered happily as Rykili swam quietly by her side.
"Isn't this going to be the best evening we've had in a long time? I'm so happy you could come too Ry." The brightly colored mer gave just the correct hint of smile to her maid. It wasn't too long before she spotted the place of the party. "Oh look! There it is." She swam gracefully up to the mer waiting outside.
"I'm Loturild and this is my maid Rykili. We're here for the party."
Rykili smiled and tried to be happy. She brushed and stylied her mistress' hair just the way she liked it. "You look lovely Loturild," she said and meant every word of it. It was so hard for her not to be jealous of the beauty in her mistress. She knew the bright mer would have her eyes open for any eligible male that might suit her.
At the entrance she smiled and bobbed her head as she was introduced. "Thank you for the party."
He had been swimming lazily by when he'd seen a number of mers going into a place. Some were some very notable characters. Curious Zelese swam up behind a pair of female mers. He waited until they were ushed inside before he spoke to the remaining female outside. "Excuse me, but is this an open event?" He looked at her hopefully, not having anything better to do.

Cassi had been waiting all week for the day of the party to arrive. She hadn't been to a real party in a long while, and this one promised to be spectacular. She knew Siri well. They had been friends since birth, and she was known for throwing outrageous parties. It had been a while since she had done so, but Cassi had no doubt that this one would prove to live up to the others. She arrived to see a very handsome merman talking to Siri at the door. She waited patiently for their conversation to end before she approached.

"I will do just that Siri," said Triton as he swam inside. He was looking forward to dancing with the their lovely host. He was also looking forward to dances with as many other single ladies as he could manage during the party. As he entered, he looked around and saw a few other mers already mingling. He saw another male lingering off by himself and swam over to him.
"Greetings, I am Triton. I don't believe we have met before."

"Greetings ladies," said Siri to Loturild and her maid. "May I say, you are looking exceptionally lovely this evening Loturild. Perhaps you would lend me the help of your maid sometime. But of course, I am only joking. Please, go on inside and have a wonderful evening. I shall be in shortly." She showed the ladies to the door and then turned her attention to the stranger who swam up to her.
"Well, I did send out invitations, but if you didn't receive one, then I must not have received your name. However, there is more than enough food and drink for one uninvited mer. So please, consider yourself formally invited to my party. My name is Siri. May I inquire as to yours?" He was a very handsome mer, with his beautiful hair flowing around his head. She was very much hoping he would accept and stay, so she could get to know him better.
Siri saw her old friend Cassi waiting a polite distance away. She obviously didn't want to interrupt the conversation she was having with the mer currently floating in front of her. It had been a while since she had seen Cassi, and she was very happy to see she had come to the party.

Lazuli swam up to Cassi and nudged her from behind. "Hey Cassi! I was hoping to see you here. This is going to be another awesome party. What are you waiting for?" She glanced around her friend and saw Siri speaking with a mer that she did not know. "Oh! She's otherwise occupied. I get it. So, what have you been up to?"

Ahti glanced at the mer that was speaking to him "I don't get out much" he said which was probably the reason they hadn't met yet. "Nice to meet you, Triton, I'm Ahti" he said nodding politely. While he was waiting he watched as more guests arrived. *******************

Tallulah waited at the back of the line, for her to be greeted and ushered in. She played with her necklace, since her and Dysmas had started dating and then changed to a serious relationship, they were together all the time and were a inseparable pair. She continued to fiddle around with her necklace turning and glancing around for him. She took a breath to calm down as she patiently waited.
She glanced to side of the mers in front of her and could catch a glimpse of how many there were. Who knew there were this many mers in these parts, it was the first time she had seen so many in one place before. She was guessing this wasn't even half of it. This must be one of those parties that were rare and where mers of both genders could mingle make some friends and what not, she had hoped The royalty of their race would do the same. She shook her head at her queen and king they were still settling in so she couldn't blame them and continued to wait patiently.
Siri could see that a good number of those invited were waiting patiently to enter, so she made a snap decision. Turning to the gentlemer she had been speaking with, and waiting for to give her his name, she said to him, "Why don't we take this inside. There are too many guests waiting to enter, and we are holding up the line. Come good sir, follow me inside." Before she entered, she turned to those waiting and said, loud enough to be heard, "Please, everyone come inside. We can greet each other during the party. No need to wait out here." She swam inside and waited for the others to come in.

Loturild smiled, delighted that Siri noticed the eligant work her maid had done for this party. "Thank you so much. We were anticipating this party for days. It looks like you'll have a good turn out," she said noticing the mers gathering behind her.
"Thank you Siri. We'll see you inside." She beamed a smile before swimming in.
Rykili flushed daintily as the hostess complimented her work. It was her duty to see that her mistress always looked her best. She wouldn't have minded if Siri needed help someday that could be arranged to suit Loturild. "Thank you for the party." She gave a shy smile to Siri and swam in after the brighter mer.
Zelese grinned as two females went in and the hostess turned her attention to him. "I do not blame you for my lack of invitation dear lady. I thank you and its a pleasure to meet you Siri. I'm Zelese." He gave her a quick flourished bow. "An excellent idea. No sense in keeping everyone out here." The dark male offered his arm to Siri and swam in with her.
"I apologize for the delay 'Lulah," a voice whispered in the blue mer's ear as Dysmas swam up. He gently took her fidgiting hand and laid it on his arm. "What? Worries I wouldn't show?" His smile teased her gently. He tilted his head to catch Siri's announcement.
"Ah looks like we can go in. We'll have to remember to greet her sometime before the party is over." Dysmas swam leisurely with Tallulah behind a pair of females.
Tallulah flinched as Dysmas surprised her "Perhaps, Its just that we've never been separated before" she admitted as she swam in on Dysmas' arm. She glanced around at all the mers invited before she glanced at Dysmas "I didn't think there would be so many mers here" she said before lightly leaning on her man. She pouted at the merman beside her "What took so long? and yes I was worried you wouldn't show" she admitted sheepishly.

Siri accepted Zelese's arm and went into the party with him. Those waiting outside flowed into the room after them. She looked around the room and was pleased to see mers mingling with each other.
"If you will excuse me Zelese, I need to greet other guests." She removed her arm from his and left him to mingle with the other guests. She saw her friend Cassie, coming in with Lazuli and swam over to them.
"Hi girls! I'm so glad you could both make it!"

Cassi felt someone nudge her and turned around. "Laz! Hi, how are you? Yeah, you know it! Siri's parties are always exciting. I've been watching some of the mers who have gone in already, and let me tell you, there are some handsome mermen here tonight. Oh look, she's going inside. Come one, let's go find her." Cassi grabbed her friends hand and pulled her forward, into the party.
Cassi had been waiting all week for the day of the party to arrive. She hadn't been to a real party in a long while, and this one promised to be spectacular. She knew Siri well. They had been friends since birth, and she was known for throwing outrageous parties.
