Who: Everyone! New Feathers especially.
What: New Feather welcome party!
When: Thursday, 5 pm.
Where: Battle Dome
Summary: IT'S A SUMMER PARTY
Rating: Worksafe, I reckon!
It's cold out there today, isn't it? Sure, it's not snowing but once you get into the Battle Dome, it'll be comfortably warmer. Warmer, not warm. Follow the tiny paper arrows and you'll probably find yourself in, well...summer!

It certainly looks convincing enough (a pool, a volleyball court, deck chairs, everything that you'd think you'd find at a pool party) and feels convincing enough (take off that coat! Aren't you hot?) so why not not step in? The barbecue's sizzling and there's some nice cold drinks at the cooler.

C'mon in, the water's awesome!

Giles is on high alert for sunset - to his very great puzzlement, he's started to acquire a sense for it, even in such an artificial environment as the Battle Dome. But, after checking his watch for the twelfth time, he finally approaches Ginia just as she turns away from the grill. He tries to be quiet.

The collar negates any chance of that.

Even so, should she choose to indulge him, Ginia will feel Giles' arms wrapped around her waist from behind and a soft kiss on her neck.

"Having fun?"

The tiny jingly bell makes it impossible for him to sneak up on her - as is the general intent - but she still gives a tiny "eep!" that dissolves into a laugh as his arms wrap around her. She tilts her head and nuzzle against him, giving a playful poke of the bell with her nose as her own hands cover his. There are some things she'll always indulge and Giles is one of them.

"A wonderful time, doubly so now that you're here."

He's almost, almost reached the point of being able to ignore the bell until she nudges it. But, since Ginia knows the truth behind the collar, Giles doesn't put up an obvious fuss. He just kisses her on the lips.

"Buffy would have an absolute field day if she knew I was here. This entire scenario is quintessentially American."

Ginia returns the kiss and beams at him, snuggling closer. If anyone is watching? Let them, she doesn't care.

"Us Americans do know how to throw a good party, a pool party at that. So no cute swim trunks for you?"

"None for me. I did just eat. There is a rule about that, isn't there, or am I mistaken?"

The snuggling is welcomed without hesitation. Let them watch. Giles is well past the point of caring.

"Besides, I have to dash in a while."

"Doesn't mean you can't swim a little later." She gives his ribs a gentle nudge before turning around to face him. Ginia throws her arms over his shoulders and looks up at him, leaning back slightly.

"Then until you have to go, stay with me. By the way, how do I look? Be honest now."
