Crawaline

I checked the time once more, looking up and down the street for Fern and Earl’s cars. Sighing, I rubbed my arms, backing out of the sun. “They were supposed to be here 20 minutes ago, I can’t believe they’re going to be late”. Turning to go into the house, I heard the sound of a car pulling up behind me. Earl closed the door with a slam, waving to me, a smile spreading on his face.
“ Hey Crawaline, how’ve you been?”
Taking the plates of food from his hands, I shrugged “I’m okay, but I would be better if it wasn’t to hot out” Fern stepped out of the car, stretching his arms “Really? I think it’s perfect out.” he said smiling warmly at us. I stared at him, shook my head and turned towards the backyard.
“Anyways, I already got the tables and tents set up. So you can just put your stuff over there” I pointed to the tables on far side of the patio, behind the pool.
“ So…” Earl said, taking the string of fairly lights I was handing him “Have you ever been to a one of these parties before?”
“Yeah, a little while ago. But I didn’t stay for to long” I replied, plugging the lights into a near by outlet. “It was cool, but there was a lot of people. And it seemed like everyone already knew every body else.” He nodded, stepping back and clapping his hands.
Fern, who had just finished plugging in the speakers and finding the playlist I’d made, slowly walked over to drape his arms over my shoulders and rest his head on top of mine. “Do you know how long it’ll be until people start arriving?”. Checking my watch, I shrugged him off of my to look in front of the house. “Um, pretty soon I guess. It’s only been a couple months since we all got back, I’m sure people are busy.”
“Yeah your probably right” he went back to fiddling with his bracelets and staring around him. “Hey, I didn’t know the Holloway’s had a house next to a forest.” He tilted his head to the side, blinking “Wouldn’t that be a little unsafe? I mean, anyone could walk on to their property from the forest.” I stared at him blankly, “Oh that’s not a public forest. The Halloway’s own that land. We can explore it later if you’d like. When everyone is gone.”
“Speaking of people, I think some are here right now” Earl interjected, pointing to the gate.
“Oh that’s Awesome!”Fern exclaimed. I blinked at both of them, sighing. “Okay, let’s get this party started” I said with a small smile.

(Sorry if some of the Bold and Italic words are off, it didn’t copy in how I thought it would)

-Lyra-
–I gazed at the Halloway Family Manor, then glanced back at the two other AEs trailing behind me, each of us carrying things to make a make-your-own-ice-cream sort of station.. Rigel seemed calm, though her sparkling eyes betrayed the excitement she felt at the prospect of seeing Carmen. I smiled slightly at her, understanding her excitement – I would be lying if I said I wasn’t eagerly awaiting to meet with Eri. Taurus’s expression was unreadable, however. They must have been excited or nervous since they were potentially meeting Vanadium, pangolin’s AE, for the first time, though their expression did not really give anything away.–

–As we neared, I noticed a few of InkTea’s AEs ahead, preparing for the party. When they noticed us, they went over to the gate to open it. I think I recognized Crawaline, though I wasn’t familiar with the other two AEs. “Hello!” I greeted them. “Is the party starting yet?”–

GODS ABOVE, I FORGOT I SAID CARMEN WOULD BE THERE. I’LL POST HIS FORM TMRW, PROMISE

Eek, sorry it’s taken me so long to reply!! Finally here~

|Eri|

|”[We’re not late?]” Valerian asks, and proceeds to greet everyone, while I move closer to the group (and, coincidentally, to Lyra), waiting for her to notice us.|

Daylily –
We arrive with Hozier pouring from Luna’s elderly car. They could imagine it to be any car at all, and I’ve no idea why they insist on driving something perilous to all the AE functions, but oh well. Maybe it’s some metaphor for how we haven’t been to a party in years, and the age of the car reflects our age in comparison to the other AEs. More likely, they do it for “the vibes.” Either way, we’re here. Early, I think.
“Do you know who you’re going to talk to?” Callisto asks. “I read through the sheets for the other AEs on the thread, but I’ve forgotten everyone’s names already.”
“Callisto, you just have to… okay, well, I was going to tell you not to overthink it, but that would just make me a hypocrite.” I run through my options as I hop out of the car. I carefully remove the cookie tray and shut the door behind me. Callisto fiddles with aer guitar strap. “How about I introduce us to the friendliest-looking group, make nice and put some names to faces, and you can peel off with whoever looks coolest to you?”
Callisto nods. “I just hate how literally no one here knows us. We’ve never talked to them or read about them.”
I shrug. “Maybe that makes it easier. Fresh start, yeah?”
Callisto nods. Together, we open the doors and follow the sounds of chatter and blaring speakers into the backyard. There’s one big clump of AEs. Put on a smile. Pretend I’m confident until I am.
“Hey!” I say. I glance at someone in an all-black outfit, a boy with glasses and silver jewelry, and a blonde boy with a unicorn horn. “I’m Daylily, this is my sibling Callisto. Is there somewhere I could put these cookies?”
“Yeah, I can take them,” says the goth one, putting the tray on a nearby table.
“I’m Crawaline,” xe continues. “Are you guys new?”

Callisto –
Daylily makes it look so easy. I know making nice and meeting new folk makes her so anxious, but she just does it anyways. She amazes me.
“Are you guys new?” The host, Crawaline, asks.
“Not new, just returning,” Daylily explains.
“Our CBer is Luna-Starr,” I add, and then realize too late that maybe no one knows who Luna is anymore. Do they know of Luna? Probably very few of their CBers were active at the same time.
It’s getting too complicated, so I try to focus on something new. One of the AEs has a really cool outfit and I’m worried that I’m staring. He’s got leather bracelets and Converse and really awesome shorts with leafy green embroidery. I should compliment them before it gets weird.
“I like your shorts,” I blurt out. He takes a second to recognize that I’m talking to him. I smile and hope it’s a normal smile and not a creepy smile. Do other people worry about their smiles so much?
“Thanks,” he says, looking at me. I’m dressed much more formally than him. I’m regretting the vest now; it was a step too far. “Is that a guitar?” he asks.
“Oh! Yes,” I reply, gripping the guitar strap tighter. “His name is Enrico.” I avoid eye contact and chew on my cheek. I am so stupid.
