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.

"Sounds like a plan! On the count of three - one, two..."

Chie slowly rolled out of the pool bed to get into the water before Utena could start counting. She readied herself when the countdown starts, and when it reached "three!" she hurried to swim to the ladder. But being full of food means she's a little slow...

Utena's a little slow as well; without a spot to launch herself from, she found herself more handicapped than expected. She still puts as much energy into her strokes and kicks as possible, though, and it's not long before she grasps the ladder, ready to pull herself out and declare her victory.

Chie was a second late to the ladder, so it was clear Utena won. Chie just smiled "Aww. Heheh. Good job!"
princelyspirit: ([smile] sitting pretty)

"You two," she says, taking a few deep breaths as she pulls herself out of the pool. "You really gave me a run for my money - or swim, I guess."

"I don't think I can get faster than I did, but thanks!" Chie walked to the chair with her belongings are in to grab a robe. But she was conflicted for a second. "It's really hot to wear a robe, but I don't know if I should walk around in just this..." She's a little shy about her body.
princelyspirit: (wide-eyed)

"Well, it's a pool party, right?"

Utena's chair is close enough to talk, so she walks over and starts drying off with her towel.

"So it's not like you'll stand out. But..."

She glances down at the clothes she wore over her suit, and holds up her hoodie for Chie to see.

"You can borrow this, if you like."

[personal profile] pint_sized_carnivore 2013-07-15 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Thanks" Chie took the hoodie that Utena handed to her. It's definitely a lot lighter than her robe, so she won't be sweating herself to death in it.
princelyspirit: ([q] looking at the sky for answers)

"No problem," she says. Utena pulls on her shorts, and asks, "What kind of things do you like to do, by the way? Are you into sports or games or any of that?"

At least, that's her first guess. Chie does look pretty athletic.

Ah, so she noticed Chie's glorious girl-abs.

"Yeah! I mostly do kung-fu and I train at the Castle's gym everyday. But I've been doing this before I even got brought here to the Castle"


princelyspirit: (Huh?)

[personal profile] princelyspirit 2013-07-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
They are truly impressive. But not as impressive as the kung-fu! Utena lets out a low whistle, giving clear approval of her hobbies.

"Kung-fu? That's pretty cool, actually! Like something out of an old action movie."

She... did come from a world with movies and stuff like that, right? Someplace normal? Because after Utena spoke, it occurred to her that Chie might be from someplace just like an old action movie.

"Yep! Kung-fu movies is what got me into it! I've been watching them religiously since I was a kid!" Chie's grin was wide and proud. Her eyes show determination that can only be found in your average shonen anime.
princelyspirit: ([smile] proud)

Oh thank god, she did come from someplace normal. Utena returned her grin, and said, "Well, maybe you can show me your moves sometime. It might be neat, seeing a real life action hero."
pint_sized_carnivore: (le gaspu)

"Real-life action hero? D'aww, sheesh. I don't think I'm hero material. Yet."
