GRAND RELAUNCH BARBECUE

[heloise]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Awesomeness Committee BBQ party
When: Saturday, July 6
Where: Castle lawn and pool


So many days into summer and not a single pool party yet! Today castle residents may hear some noise wafting from the lawn and pool along with that distinct smell of the barbecue roaring. Oh yeaaah, Barney Stinson's got you covered, Paradisa!

The lawn area has been decked out all in colors, with the grills to one side and the chocolate fountain to another. For those more inclined to chill out and soak up the sun, there are picnic rugs rolled out on the green grass among any kind of game you could wish for. The pool itself has a few floating beds thrown in and all sorts of toys, with a changing tent set up just nearby for anyone who decides they want to get wet and wild after all!

All the fun is for forgetting recent horrors the residents have been through. So once the sun goes down, there will be a time to write down all unpleasantness, and set it to fire. But be careful not to stay out too late; the Castle may have a different idea of Cinderella once midnight strikes.

[Crowley is chilling out here with a glass of wine. Where did he get it from? Who knows, but he seem content to relax in a chair, people watching]

[bro_codebreaker]

Well, look who made it. [Barney smirked as he wandered up, hands in his pockets]

[onlyanapple]

I told you I'd show up, didn't I?

[bro_codebreaker]

And I told you I'd make it worth it. [he gestures to a buffet table off to the side. it's got filet mignon wrapped in bacon, fresh summer vegetables in all sorts of fancy artisan oil marinades, little tiny hors d'ouvres of expensive rare cheeses and fresh herbs, and various kinds of sushi - on ice, of course.

there's a sign hanging from the front of it that says For Crowleys Only, and it's sectioned off with black-and-red velvet rope]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley arches a brow]

Well, fuck me, I'm impressed, Barney. This has suddenly got far more entertaining for me.

[bro_codebreaker]

[he'll just smirk] Ye of little faith.

[onlyanapple]

Faith tends to be something demons don't have a lot of.

[bro_codebreaker]

Come on, if there's anything I know, it's that nine times out of ten, Barney Stinson is the exception to the rule, and nine-tenths is the law, my friend.

[onlyanapple]

...You know what, I can't even argue with that.

[waterproofed]

[oh it's his favorite demon buddy] Wow, Crowley with a drink in his hand. Must be Saturday.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley raises the drink in greeting]

One day, you'll be grateful for me giving you this constant in your life.

[waterproofed]

It'd be really weird not seeing it. [or Crowley in general]

[onlyanapple]

Then I'll keep right at it, for the sake of the population at large.

[Sip]

Enjoying the party?

[waterproofed]

It's not half bad.

[onlyanapple]

It's nice to have one directly before or after something traumatising.

[waterproofed]

We do that a lot. We almost die, and then we have a party. And then we go back to complaining about being bored until it starts all over again.

[onlyanapple]

It's like a masochistic wash-rinse cycle.

[gottaknockhard]

[Well, Spike was looking for someone else, but hey. He hasn't seen the demon since he was insane in space.

So it's a coincidence that he stops just a couple of feet away and pulls out a cigarette to have a smoke break.]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley sends Spike an annoyed glance]

Still here. [Said in a tone that suggests Spike is being rude by remaining in the castle]

[gottaknockhard]

[And he doesn't even like parties. Spike takes his time responding, already sure that he doesn't have time for this; he just can't help himself.]

What are the odds?

[onlyanapple]

Given they add to my misery? Pretty good.

[gottaknockhard]

Is it that easy now?

[onlyanapple]

You say that as if it's ever been hard.

[gottaknockhard]

I always thought you were trying not to give me the satisfaction.

[onlyanapple]

That too.
