Home again, home again.
Nyx had spent a few days in the Underworld, and just before Thanatos had returned, she'd coincidently and regretfully been off again, pondering family. Mum hadn't yet planned a gathering, but then, she likely had her hands full adjusting to modernity and with her new Egyptian friend. Nyx wanted to bring the family together; they hadn't all, even most, been in close quarters for eons, and she thought it high time that something be done about that. Beside that, she'd like to see professional acquaintances who might have similar interests to those of her family; networking could never hurt.
And so the first order of business was to choose a locale. Nyx had no residence on the mountain, and didn't intend to create one for this occasion; beside that, it wouldn't suit her motif nearly as well. A Hellenic palace formed itself on one of the islands in the Aegean, and servants appeared, tending to details such planting and growing flowers which bloomed and were most fragrant at night. Stars and a plethora of tiny, star-like lights illuminated the courtyard, which was to be the focus of the attendees, complete with nectar and ambrosia offered, in addition to jazz and blues playing in the background. Inside, warm light beckoned those who wanted to speak more privately.
Nyx herself dressed in a simple, midnight blue silk gown, her hair up and strung through with seed pearls. As she prepared, notes were sent out to all corners of heaven, earth, and elsewhere; all of her children, all of her children's children, were invited; her mother, of course, plus guest. She grinned as that one went out. Hades and Persephone, of course, had been invited, as had death and underworld gods of other pantheons who frequented the mountain, plus one guest each. And of course, there was an invitation that went out to Philammon, along with a proper warning that there would be few Olympians indeed in attendance - another invite went to Circe.
With all invitations sent, and the locale prepared, a piano formed in the corner of the courtyard, and Nyx sat down at it, playing along with the Billie Holiday that was currently floating through the courtyard.
(OOC Logistical Note: Hey hey kids! Party attendees may want to reply to this thread - that way you have as many people in one place as possible, better opportunities for seeing who's there, what's going on, who's mingling, etc. At least unless there get to be too many replies; then a new thread starts! :mwah:)
