'''Chapter 9.19''' is the 26th chapter of [[Volume 9]].

== tl;dr ==

* [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] sets up a multi-city wide party
* [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] and [[Rags]] talk and explore in the new gardens

== Synopsis ==
With [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] going to meet [[Rags]], [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] had to deal with the rest of the homecoming which involved her own version of throwing a giant party/festival. Her version was much more controlled. She brought together people and got everyone to brainstorm ideas, but making a Solstice-level party is easier said than done. She and her group analyzed what made a party and came to the conclusion that they needed events and activities. After multiple failed ideas, Lyonette brought over merchants from [[Pallass]]' famed bazaar to trade goods over the coming days with all of those that the magical door connected. [[Joseph Ortega|Joseph]] and [[Kevin Hall|Kevin]] built a fairly uninteresting game of tennis and brought out Kevin also brought out his skateboard, and [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria]] contributed by creating an ice rink that could be used to slide through. With all of these attractions, the party started to become a reality.

With Lyonette busy, many people couldn't get much of her time. [[Pawn]] couldn't get to her to talk for long, and the job of showing [[Nanette Weishart|Nanette]] around fell to [[Mrsha]]. She and [[Gireulashia Ekhtouch|Gire]] sporadically showed the young former [Witch] around the inn though Gire quickly became jealous. Instead of stepping back from Gire's jealous pranks, Nanette confronted her in a mature fashion and stepped away to help [[Calescent]] cook while Gire cooled off.

Meanwhile, Erin spent all of her time in the garden alone with Rags. The two talked about all of the events that each other had missed and started to find out that they had grown apart. Despite this, they did find some joy especially as Erin had the two of them and [[Apista]] explore more of the gardens. They started in one that Erin already knew, the garden with ponds overflowing with koi fish, but they quickly moved on to new ones. They found a stormy hill surrounded by powerful weapons that attracted lightning, one of which Erin gave to Rags. In another they came to a flooded garden made for [[Drowned People]], and in the last they found a garden for a people that could fly. In this one, Apista got back her flight by taking inspiration from [[Valeterisa Imarris|Valeterisa]]'s temporarily rocket propelled city event and Erin's flames. The two joined the burgeoning party better friends than they had been and with Rags gaining levels in her [Great Chieftain] class to show her connection with the innkeeper.
