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.

There was a flicker of tension in his jaw, but Spike would have reacted the same even if it wasn't Bond asking. It was clear by now that he made their connection much too obvious.

"She's still recovering."

Bond nodded slightly. He had noticed that the queen had been more absent than usual and assumed as much. After a brief pause his gaze returned to the man, "I'm afraid I've suddenly found myself out of her good graces."

He stepped closer, the look in his blue eyes darkening slightly, "I don't suppose you would know anything about that, would you?"

Spike rose an eyebrow, but he couldn't be too annoyed when he opened himself up to that in the first place. It was just a coincidence that this guy would decide to approach him now, when the queen would sooner see his head chopped off than have another conversation like the last one they had.

"Are you afraid she's been listening to gossip?"

[last_rat_standing]

Yes, Spike, it was clearly your fault for opening yourself for conversation. Clearly.

He lifted an eyebrow of his own, regarding the man carefully. Nonverbal cues can be just as important as the conversation itself, you know.

"That depends entirely on what sort of gossip that may be."

[gottaknockhard]

He shrugged, even if he had something very specific in mind. Something he wouldn't have brought up so soon, but he'd much rather shift the focus.

"I don't really participate in it, myself. But you know how the journals are."
