paradisalogs | GRAND RELAUNCH BARBECUE

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.

I'm not sure I am such desirable company as that.

[It's a joke of sorts, but there's a grain of truth to it. Gideon has always found himself being bent to the whims of the rest of the world. It's difficult to imagine being able to demand such luxuries of others.]

[ She reaches to push back any strands of hair stuck to his forehead. ]

They need not know that.

Should I take that as an insult?

[He's smiling--he doesn't mean it seriously. But he is a bit wary of the way she's just touched him, going still when she smoothed the hair back from his face.]

[ She notices that he has grown tense, but that hardly stops her from finishing the task at hand. She smiles to herself once satisfied. ]

Would you?

Not necessarily. [His posture grows slightly more relaxed when she lets her hand drop from his face.]

Perhaps you should not.

I'm amenable enough to that.

[ She smiles, standing up now to fetch him a large towel. ]

You thought against pulling me into the pool.

[He follows her, taking the towel and wrapping it around his shoulders. When he has a chance to slip out somewhere by himself, he'll see about toweling himself off.]

So I did.
