it might seem crazy what I’m about to say

[waiting]

WHO: Residents of #006 and assorted suckers friends.
WHERE: House #006
WHEN: Saturday, June 21st, late morning to early evening.
WHAT: School's out, so it's time for a good old-fashioned pool party.
WARNINGS: Probably nothing ... there are little kids around, after all.

It's officially summer, so it's as good a time to finally make use of the pool they've got in the backyard -- something Bradbury is still perplexed that they even have. In any case, it's certainly probably the most well-guarded pool parties the neighborhood's ever seen: between Bradbury, Ace, the raccoons and (however reluctantly) Terry, as well as some of the invited parties, would-be gatecrashers aren't likely to have an easy time of it.

Still, it's a nice day to spend out, now that school's finally over -- and for those who plan on participating in the game tomorrow, it might be a much-needed break.

It's what the Porter doled out to me on the way in, strange a power as it may seem. Useful, though, I suppose.

[fridgeflower]

Yeah. I'd imagine so. [ Thumbs would have also been useful, she thinks, but that a dog with thumbs would probably be even stranger than a dog that talks. ]

Oh! I'm Laurie, by the way. What's your name?

[ifnotloyal]

[ Dog with thumbs would be beyond weird, too weird even for him. ]

Laurie, huh? It's nice to meet you. My name is Ace.

[fridgeflower]

It's nice to meet you, too, Ace. [ Have some more friendly pettings? ]

You must be really hot. Do you have water and everything?

[ifnotloyal]

[ He'll never turn down friendly pettings. Never. ]

I do! They brought the water dishes out here for us. [ Him, the other dogs, and so on. ] I'm not too worried about them, either, since now I can ask for someone to refill them.
