All right. He's positive one of the band members will show. There's booze and fire.

Plus, free food.

Plus, fire.

Plus, marshmallows he brought down for him and his few friends to cook on the fire.

After last year's debacle, Aayla had considered staying inside the castle, in the library, away from any strange food and drink. But she would not be defeated by a mere party, so she wandered out, found a friendly face, and plopped down. "I'm not sure why exactly it's necessary to celebrate being at a particular point in rotation of your sun. But I suppose there are worse reasons to enjoy yourself."

charlesofdensen June 24 2007, 03:27:56 UTC

"Not that us humans really need a reason, we'll find any excuse to celebrate." He finished putting a marshmallow on the thin rod he brought, roasted it, blew it out, and took off the marsmallow, sucking out the inside and discarding the burntness.

"Looks like it may be picking up." He placed another marshmallow on the rod, and held it out for Aayla.

"Care to try?" he asked, mildly smirking.

"I can't find fault in this," she agreed, raising her eyebrow at the marshmallow. She smirked at his question, took the stick-and-marshmallow, and held it out to the fire. "We did something similar to this when I was a Padawan. Out on a rim planet, fire going--it was local game animals, though, not marshmallows." She pulled hers from the fire, watched it crackle in the flame, blew it out, and waited for the last embers to die before popping it in her mouth, burt crusty outside and all.

"Which I'm sure tasted good as well. And you're more tolerant than I am, eating the outside as well." He took the stick back and started roasting another marshmallow.

"I may have mentioned before, anything is better than ration bars. I'd eat granite slug than ration bars if given the choice." She frowned and grabbed a marshmallow, used her wand to levitate it into the fire, and pulled it out again. "Or perhaps not. On second thought, granite slugs are foul."

charlesofdensen June 25 2007, 03:47:41 UTC

"Hm. Trendsetter," he snarked, chucking his stick in the lake and levitating the marshmallows as well. While eating one, he looked around.

"This party's a definite improvement over some I've attended in the past. Haven't tried the food yet. Can't figure out why Professor Dumbledore's dressed so formally, though. It's a casual party."

So says the man wearing a suit for most occasions. Even now.

blue_ataru June 26 2007, 03:47:18 UTC

She raised her eyebrow at that, making a pointed look at his outfit before returning her attention back to the marshmallows. "Thus far I've avoided any spiked food. It's already an improvement on the last one I attended."

charlesofdensen June 26 2007, 04:31:21 UTC

"Spiked food? Did they, perchance, have a similar effect to the chocolates we ate?"

blue_ataru June 28 2007, 02:31:25 UTC

"Similar. On the whole, I think I preferred being a child."

charlesofdensen June 28 2007, 02:34:23 UTC

"Why, what was the effect, if you don't mind my asking?"

blue_ataru June 28 2007, 02:46:48 UTC

She nodded over to where Strong Bad was quite mistakenly extolling the (naturally not-true) virtues of pirates over ninjas. "I apparently became absolutely infatuated with him. It wasn't one of my shining moments, honestly." She smiled, amused at the memory.

charlesofdensen June 29 2007, 01:18:05 UTC

Ofdensen looked over there. Then back at Aayla. Then at StrongBad again.

"Ninjas!" he yelled, loud enough that Strong Bad could hear him. He calmly went back to marshmallows.

"I think...I would have preferred being a child as well." He got up and stretched a bit.

"All this sitting is making me restless."

blue_ataru June 29 2007, 04:06:24 UTC

"I wasn't in my right mind at the time," she said, a touch more defensively than she meant to.

"We could walk around, if you'd prefer. I'm not much one for gatherings."
