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.

Gideon smiles back at her, quietly glad to see she's in good spirits. Her enthusiasm is, in truth, contagious--he always seems to be in a better mood after they chat, even if their conversations don't always start off cheerful.

Maselle, he writes in greeting, bowing his head slightly, then glances down at her bare feet. Have you been enjoying yourself?

[birdorcage]

"I have! This is--so much fun," she replies, motioning to all the activities. It's a little more exciting than a fake beach, and to have the time to actually enjoy it makes all the difference in the world.

"Have you felt the water yet?"

[thraxios]

Gideon shakes his head. In truth, he's been avoiding it. While he'll always hold a fondness in his heart for the sea, such a measly body of water doesn't really hold an appeal for him. But he'd rather speak cheerfully to Elizabeth. You have, I see.

[birdorcage]

"Oh, come on! You have to at least feel it," she insists, reaching for his arm.

[thraxios]

Gideon shrugs--not necessarily trying to dislodge her hand, but certainly hoping he won't be dragged over to the pool at that moment. Perhaps later.

[birdorcage]

His reluctance is enough for her to let go.

"Later? Why not now?"

[thraxios]

Oh, no--she isn't disappointed, is she? Gideon should hate to disappoint her. Better think fast.

I'm still trying to puzzle out these games, he writes out quickly, gesturing vaguely towards the people tossing balls towards another ball. Are you familiar with any of them?

[birdorcage]

She turns to look at what he's indicating, then shakes her head.

"No, but we can figure them out together."
