[location: John Everton's House] [OPEN TO ALL!] BLOCK PARTY!!!

[aesthetic_mojo]

The time had come. Charlotte left John in charge of setting up the bar, giving him only the one request that he have a decent selection of beer, and did the work of dialing up the food. She knew she was going way over board. For all she knew no one might show up, even though she'd gotten a bit of a response to her invite. How could people resist, though. Food, drink, Dean's music, kittens? Okay, and an ex-vampire, but that wasn't his fault.

Pushing that thought away, she continued laying out the food and the carefully crafted warding spells that would protect it from the kittens. They had been given run of most of the patio, but not the yard, and not the food area. That meant they'd still be popping in and out of people's laps, but at least they wouldn't do it to plates.

When everything was ready, Charlotte ran up to change into skinny jeans, a crisp white button down and a ridiculously shiny pair of cowboy boots. Not unlike Dawn, not that she knew it, Charlotte was having too much fun with the fashion options the replicators afforded. Properly armored for the event, she headed back to the patio to wait for their first guests.





OOC: This is an open event, folks, anyone should feel free to tag in, even if they just discover the party. Start a new thread with a label if you want or just tag in on another thread. Feel free to hop around, too. IT'S A PARTY, PEOPLE! Also, this will go on as long as people are interested, so backtag all ya like. We know people will be in and out all weekend. Have fun, drink all the booze.

...well, Giles does have a point there. Still, at least she's swearing off the menfolk whilst in Taxon, anyway?

"Horses and woodland creatures-- so when you wanted to borrow a cup of sugar did you have to go all Dr. Dolittle on them?" Yes, Buffy is being silly. It's not something she does frequently, so enjoy it while you can. The chapter of Giles' life that included Ethan is one she's glad she's never fully read, not least because the guy bugs the hell out of her.

"Aww." She pouts, unconvincingly. "How about grooving? Or maybe a nice, sedate waltz?"

Giles always has a point. And is she really? That will be interesting.

He chuckles a little at her silly mood. It's a treat for him to see her so carefree at the moment, joking and relaxing and not carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. He wishes she could have more moments like this. "When we needed sugar we went to this quaint place called a grocery store. They have sugar in packages on the shelves and you can buy it."

As for Ethan, 'bug the hell out of' is the least complicated emotion Giles feels for him. There's hate and disappointment and a visceral sort of anger and sadness and love, all rolled up together in a tight ball he tries to ignore most of the time. Like now, for example.

"And if I said yes to a waltz would anyone here know the steps?"
