    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Winter always seemed to throw a second party every year. So why couldn’t Spring? That was Sera’s line of thought when she planned the pool party and bbq with the other Springs. And now? They had access to a pool! Let the party begin!

    A notice had been put up at Funderland about the pool/bbq party at her house. And the day had finally arrived!

    The Nix went all out. There were giant pool floats in the pool, including pool noodles towels laid out near the pool chairs and the grill was going. She had burgers and hot dogs, along with vegan varieties in case. There was every type of side imaginable on a table, along with various coolers with water, soda and beer. Sonnie had recommended a Clam Bake, so Sera had gotten a huge pot and they had been cooking for a few hours. The hot tub, which was attached to the pool, had little ruby duckies floating around, from the color of them, you could tell they totally glowed in the dark. A table had sunscreen on it in case anyone needed some.

    Various lawn games were setup. Everything from a huge Jenga game, to Connect Four and logs people could stand on and whack each other with oversized padded sticks.

    Around the pool area were various colored solar lights, twisting in the slightest breeze. The Treasured was by the grill, making sure nothing burned. That just wouldn’t do. She wore a white bikini with a blue wrap around her waist. Which actually matched her eyes. The bruise was there, but fairly normal looking now.

    The others had been directed to use take the stone path beside the house to the open gate.

    Sonnie was already there, having helped Seraphina set up the whole party! Emerald Courtiers got to have each others' backs! Plus, the clam bake was her idea, and she wasn't going to leave the Nix to do all the work.

    The monkey girl was dressed just as scantily as her Fairest friend, in a simple black bikini, for the occasion. Leave it to the Springs to put on a sexy fashion show!

    It was an effort, of course, for a girl with a bottomless stomach like Sonnie to resist all the delicious smells coming from the cooking area. But resist she did. And not just because Sera would probably smack her with a spatula for eating before the party began (or so Sonnie assumed). No, the Beast was busy blowing up a pool toy, heaving big breaths in the process, while she eagerly awaited the freeholders.

    Let's hope she doesn't make herself hyperventilate and pass out.

    Flowering

    It was hard to arrive fashionably late when you woke up at the place where the party was taking place. So instead, rule it.

    Rhodes had been helping sort out the food and drinks. He hadn't had to run interference from Sonnie as much as he had thought - she was surprisingly focused. They had compromised on Rhodes making her a strong banana daiquiri and making sure the barbecue was lit.

    The Dread Lord of Autumn stands on the balcony overlooking the pool and garden. Fortunately, Garden was a relative term as there was relatively few plants to make him feel edgy. Though there were two gorgeous scantily clad girls putting the finishing touches to the party, only one - the shimmering golden-scaled one - ever held his eyes. Rhodes runs the ice in his scotch around the glass, and makes his way back downstairs.

    He was wearing some red shorts that matched the flowers blooming at his head, wrists and ankles, and a white linen short-sleeved shirt. The complete change in his usual attire meant the usually hidden foliage along his forearms and around his ankles was clearly visible, the black vines stretching up, then into, his arms and legs.

    Coming out into the garden, his Mantle sends an icy breeze through the warm late spring air. Rhodes walks over to Sera and slips an arm around her, kissing her on the cheek. "Looks like everything is ready sweetheart. I suppose I won't see much of you when everyone arrives and you start being the hostess. It's going to be great. If you need me, you know where I am." He gives her a broad smile.

    "How're the inflatables coming, Sonnie?" He asks.

    Fawkes pulls up a little later than expected, the faint hope that more attendees would let him slip into the background. Spring gatherings were nothing to scoff at, and Seraphina had invited him during practice with the excitement to show off a milestone in taking back her life.

    The mannequin takes his time with a smoke, leaning against the vehicle as he hears a surprising lack of bustle from the backyard. Richard hadn't let him leave without swim trunks, not giving the Elemental an inch of an excuse to avoid engaging with his peers. The sleeveless hoody was his last piece of armour, wrapping a pale knuckle against the gate to the backyard with a case of beer.

    Sasha

    The Fairest loved to swim as much as she loved dancing. Sasha arrived to Sera's house in her standard truck, which she really needed to trade sooner than later. Perhaps someone may want it, and she'd buy something different. She was wearing a wrap dress over her bikini.

    Making her way to the back where the pool area was, she was carrying a grocery box with some treats. She hated arriving to someone's personal place, where there was a party with nothing. They were cherry dessert bars purchased from a bakery not far from the Blue Note. She only ordered one, but when she arrived and paid for only one, they gave her three trays. She said it had to be a mistake, yet, they refused to let her leave with just one. Hopefully others would enjoy them and eat them all.

    Treasured Nix

    Sera had been enjoying getting things ready with Sonnie. She hadn’t really spent much time with her fellow Spring.

    Walking over by the pool, and gives Sonnie a cookie from a tray, “Can’t have you passing out from blowing that up.” She jokes with a wink. “And sugar is always a good thing.” There was a wink as she takes a bite out of her own cookie.

    She had caught glimpses of Rhodes lurking around while the food was prepped, a smile offered when she spotted him. Glad to see he was in shorts and a t shirt.

    Leaning into him, she slips a free arm around him and returns the kiss, “Oh you’ll see plenty of me! I can multitask like you wouldn’t believe!” she replies with a wink. “And the same for you, should you need me, just let me know.” Another kiss given to him.

    Hearing the knock, she turns to see Fawkes, and flashes a wide smile, “Fawkes!” she motions him in, “Come in! So glad you could make it!” noticing the beer, “I have some coolers setup with ice if you want to put those in one.” Sure enough, there were three different coolers near the grill.

    It was hard to miss the arrival of the Winter Queen. And Sera waves and offers to take the box, “Sasha! Glad you could make it! Dare I ask what’s in the box?” she asks with a giggle.

    Sonnie had been a dedicated helper monkey for the Joyeux, but the offer of a snack was a welcome one, and she snagged the treat with her tail as she smiled at the Nix. Finished with the pool toy, which was a giant donut, she tossed it into the water. "Oh, very true! A sugar infusion will help! Still gotta have the energy for the party itself, right? You got a really cool house, by the way! Put's my tiny apartment to shame!" Somehow, the Steepscrambler still had enough breath to talk. Impressive stamina in this girl, really.

    Rhodes coming out in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt surprised her, as was finally seeing the flowers at his wrists and ankles. She gave the Autumn King's floral nature a brief curious look, and then that was it. She spoke nothing of it. Instead, Sonnie said, "Ah, the freehold's cutest couple! The inflatables are ready and floating, as you can see! I think you need an apron of some kind. Be Afraid of the Cook! or something." She nodded sagely.

    The sudden arrivals of both Fawkes and Sasha was excitedly welcomed by the monkey girl, who leaped up from her seat to greet them.

    "I knew someone would bring a six pack. Classic! We can crack a few open later!" she winked at the glass man.

    For the Winter Queen, Sonja smiled and whistled, "Love the dress, your magnificence! Super cute!" The Beast sniffed the air curiously, "And yes, what is in the box?"

    Flowering

    Though the face is inscrutable, a freezing, spine-chilling breeze twists around the Dread Lord as Fawkes enters, before dissipating into an eerie stillness. It was first time since he'd seen the Elemental since the fighting accident, and no matter the reassurance and the Pledge between Sera and Fawkes, Rhodes could feel a surge of anger and resentment. This is for her. Source of love, and source of Fear.

    The Flowering settles for raising the glass to Fawkes as he arrives and inclining his head slightly. His greeting for Sasha is more enthusiastic. "Lady Winter, you look simply marvelous." He smiles broadly as she makes her way in, a hand waving her up and down at the stylish ensemble. You can take the man out of the formal attire, but not the formality out of the man, it seemed. Well, not after only two drinks. Everyone had asked what was in the box, doing so felt redundant. "We have food and drinks on the side, or we can pop that in the kitchen for now?" He asks, nodding to the box, and looking at Sera.

    He chuckles at Sera. "Of course you can, but I get to see all of you later, and I'd hate to deprive your guests of your wonderful company." He holds her in close at the kiss, making it a little longer and more passionate than she probably expected with his roguish smile on the end. "I'm sure I'll find some way of entertaining myself."

    Still holding Sera, he turns to give Sonnie a look with raised eyebrows. "Is that what we're being called now?" He looks to Sera, smiling, and back to the monkey-girl. Could be worse."Or just your thoughts, monkey-girl?" The tone is light, but he narrows his eyes at Sonnie.

    Beasts could be skittish. That made them fun to play with.

    Fawkes tracks the dancing lights with interest before he recognizes Sasha behind him. Holding the gate open, he steps aside out of politeness. "Hi Sasha." It was still jarring to meet her request from the Coronation.

    He waves at Sera and jumps a bit at her enthusiastic greeting. Apparently Fawkes was on edge, laughing it off with a quiet chuckle to alleviate the thinning nerves. Then the Mantle hits from the Autumn Sovereign, and his jaw clenched with the ghost of familiarity. "Hi Rhodes. New place looks great," he says with the usual calm, looking up at the house so he could focus elsewhere. At the host's instruction, he drops off the drinks, taking a water for himself in a trade-off.

    With Sonnie's greeting he gives another small wave and nods, "Yeah. Take as many as you want... Do any of you need help with anything?" He looks hopefully towards the kitchen for some kind of task to keep him busy.

    At Exegesis' arrival he turns around and nods as he starts chewing on a chail with the absence of a cigarette, "Nice tatts."
