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.

Barney's eyes widened in wonder as the radiant guest in front of him turned around. The hair, that sparkle, those eyes - he'd never seen anyone that pretty in three dimensions, and even in two, there was usually extensive airbrushing involved. To his credit, he recovered quickly, tucking the lighter back in beside his pocketwatch with a charming smile.

"Well, you've certainly lit up the party. Hi. I'm Barney."

Mwhaahahaa *chuu~*

Ashura chuckled, recognizing the flattery for what it was, but not turning it aside either. It was a party after all, and he was no longer a king - well, he was a king, but there was no need to stand on ceremony here. He inclined his head a tiny bit in acknowledgement, the emerald drops and golden cuffs on elven ears flashing as he looked at Barney through thick lashes.

"Ashura. A pleasure to meet you, Barney. Are you the host of this little gala?"

[bro_codebreaker]

"I most certainly am." He gave a little bow, for good measure. "It's the official relaunch party of the Awesomeness Committee, which I happen to be the President of. But details, details... are you enjoying yourself?"

"Awesomeness Committee? My, that is a thing to live up to," he chuckled, fingers stroking the curve of his lantern. His hands were long, delicate, the nails carefully manicured. Barney would not be able to see the callouses that touched his palms, the pink scars from his time on the Event Horizon largely faded now.

"Yes, I quite am. This was a very nice distraction from the terrible things that have befallen us of late. I am afraid anything I might have thrown would be touched with to much formality for such relaxation, so I must commend you."

Barney could hardly miss the way she was handling that lantern, and it was practically shorthand for "take my clothes off right now". He raised his eyebrows. "What kind of commendation did you have in mind?"

Hook. Line. Sinker.

Well, you need to learn how to read body language a bit better Barney. And identifying sexes, but then, Ashura had a knack of making people question their sexual identities. You would not be the first.

He laughed, golden eyes considering Barney through his midnight lashes, mouth quirked up, a lovely pale pink all on their own.

"Well, if we were in my world, I suppose I could knight you for services rendered," he mused. "But I suspect you might want something more immediate."
