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.

Maybe a dog, first.

[heloise]

To take out hunting?

[willrememberthat]

No, to play with! [She laughs.] I don't want a dog to hunt.

[heloise]

It will be a little dog to suit its mistress.

[willrememberthat]

I'd want a big dog, so Lee could play with it, too.

[Lee playing with some tiny dog is a funny image, though.]

[heloise]

Does Lee not play with you?

[willrememberthat]

He does! [No hesitation in that response.] All the time. But if I get a dog, he should be happy with it, too. And I think he'd like a big dog.

[heloise]

[ She giggles. ]

But you are small, see?

[willrememberthat]

You're small, too! [Sorta. And it's relevant.]

[heloise]

No! If I am small, what would that make you, little one?

[willrememberthat]

... [suigsgub she just splashes her again!]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia tries to shield herself but ooh little girl is scary. ]

Mercy, mercy! A big dog it will be.

[willrememberthat]

[ :> ]

What's your favorite animal?

[heloise]

[ She thinks on that, and maybe her answer isn't entirely truthful. ]

Doves. White ones.

[willrememberthat]

They're pretty. [She smiles.] It fits you, I think.

[heloise]

Because they are pretty?

[willrememberthat]

Mmhmm! [She nods. Lucrezia is the prettiest :') ]

[heloise]

I would imagine you to love doves as well, but for another reason entirely.

[willrememberthat]

Why's that?

[heloise]

It serves as a symbol of the uncorrupted soul.

[willrememberthat]

[Aaaand there's a frown. Clementine doesn't really think about souls, but she knows she's not uncorrupted.]

[heloise]

[ Awh, no, no frowns allowed! Lucrezia reaches a hand to Clem so she would come closer. ]

What is the matter, little one?

[willrememberthat]

[After a moment, she does. But she just shakes her head.]

Nothing.

[heloise]

[ No little girl should feel the need to keep such sad secrets, but she choose not to pry, just reaching to pinch her cheek even as she leans in to kiss her crown of her head. ]

[willrememberthat]

[Clem smiles at the affection, not really getting too much of it like this outside of Lee. It's nice.

She misses her mom, like she always does.]
