"Food smells good. I hope there is enough for thirds!" Orchalla laughed as she came over to sit down beside me. "You must be hungry after all the activities, hmm?"
"Yeah, no doubt about it, but it has been great so far. Do you have any of your girl drinks brewed up? I know that you like the really sweet stuff, but do you have any of the boozy milk tea stuff bottled?" I asked, knowing how much Orchalla loved to brew her own spirits, but even the sweet stuff had enough alcohol to put hair on your chest!
"Oh, you know me too well! Of course, I have it ready for tonight! It's a special treat for all of us!" Orchalla said as she patted my shoulder and then went off to get everyone drinks.
"Galio! Do you want to come play some beach ball?! Some of the cat girls brought balls and a net!" Eliza exclaimed as she grabbed my hand and dragged me up.
So much for asking!
"Sure, as long as we don't get the try-hards-"
"I will come to play!" Draconia demanded as she rushed over in her black bikini and her breasts almost flying out of it. I had to take a double take to make sure I didn't see what I thought I did, thanks in part to the setting sun.
"Of course, you can play! Just no fireballs!" I laughed as she pouted and then plopped herself down next to Goldenia who was wearing a yellow beach dress, who just shook her head.
The night went on with food, games, laughter, and drinks for everyone. I never thought I would find such a perfect family, but here it was. A family of gods, goddesses, cat girls, humans, amazons, dragons, elves, dwarves, orcs, vampires, angels, and golems, altogether because of me.
There could not have been a better ending to my day. That was because it was far from over.
"I want you to arm wrestle me!" Orchalla demanded of Nya while trying to stand without tipping over. Everyone was good and drunk now, but I was just sipping and watching everyone.
"No! I juzz did my clers! You look, *hick* like you could use another dink!" Nya said drunkenly, then fell face-first into the sand.
"Goddess down!" Goldy laughed and then clicked mugs with Giantessa.
"You cannot win against me! I am an Orc!" Orchalla said, then stood in the middle of the circle while everyone cheered.
I shook my head, watching as they all began to chant and cheer for their contestants before Nya suddenly sprung up from the ground.
"Mrrow-ooww!!" She shouted, then did something that made everyone laugh.
Nya made herself into a cat, complete with little cat eyes, ears, and tail. Everyone roared with laughter as she sat there spinning her tail around in a circle then she fell over again.
"Nya, you crazy Cat Goddess!" Draconia yelled as she got up and challenged Nya to arm wrestle, but instead, Nya sprung up, startled, then just hissed at her and ran away, laughing.
Draconia challenged Orchalla, and everyone went wild as the two women went at it. Goldy was standing on her chair, offering two-to-one odds to anyone that was willing.

As that was going on, Tallia came over with a bottle of wine and unceremoniously dropped down into my lap. The moment she did, I could smell the booze coming off of her, but I still wrapped my arms around my drunk goddess.
I would never tell the others this, but I wouldn't trade this woman for any amount of cat girls if I had to make a choice. I loved all the girls, but Tallia was more than just important to me.
"How is my little drunk goddess feeling?" I asked and kissed her cheek as she took another drink from the bottle. She was wearing a bathing suit like Nya's, But Tallia's was more cream-colored than the Cat Goddesses, with thinner golden chains.
"I am feeling gooood!" She slurred as I smiled and kissed her again.
"I love you, you know that, right?" I asked and kissed her cheek as we watched the girl's arm wrestle, and the others cheered.
"Of course I do! And I love you too!" She said, and then kissed my cheek back before leaning her head back against me. "Why do you think I love white kitties so much? That is how much I love you!"
I honestly couldn't ever remember a time when she was drunk like this, and she was actually acting really cute. Part of me wanted to whisk her away and leave everyone behind, but there would be plenty of time for that later.
"I really think all of that is adorable, just like you," I chuckled, and Tallia put the bottle between her legs and grabbed my face in her hands to pull it to hers.
"That is because I am cute," Tallia said, and then kissed me fast, then cuddled her face into my neck.
I smiled and pulled my tail around her, making Tallia let out a long and relaxed sigh before she kissed me again.
"I love you," She said, and then we just sat there and watched the games being played, cheering when someone one and feeling heartbroken when they lost. It was an amazing time, and it felt like nothing else in the world mattered at that moment.
As I watched, I wondered what it was going to be like when I did get the world straightened out. While it had only been a short while since I had been here, I felt like I was using every second that was possible, but I just wanted to be able to do this all the time. Just visit the girls and explore. None of this running off to the Underworld or Cultist killing people, but that was silly to hope.
Thinking about hope reminded me of the Winds of Change. I needed to go get those five at some point, but I really wish that I could leave Fate behind. Murphy wasn't that bad, he just had a habit of finding trouble, but Fate was a little shit. Making him a woman was not going to make it any better, but he still owed me five favors, so there was that.
