In the common room, avoiding the CNG* in her room

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is flipping channels. Hoping to find something. She is singing under her breath; she might have heard this song from Vala.

Or not.

"Who's the bro with all the aggro,
who can take down a goon,
with a sharp spoon?
JACK! The man they call Jack. That's what I'm sayin'...."

Possibly the lack of nicotine is getting to her.

Broots? What did she do? Or was it the gremlins?

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"It's all my fault!" Broots nearly wails.

[swerval_zero]

What's all your fault?

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"Everything! I have no friends, I have no life! I spilled punch all over your dress!"

[swerval_zero]

The punch thing was an accident! And o' course you have friends. I'm your friend!

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots begins to cry. "Only *hic* 'cause Miss Parker *hic* made you!"

[swerval_zero]

What? No! She told me you didn' have a date. That's all. Broots, if Parker told me to do somethin' more complicated than, "Hey, shelve this book," I'd likely laugh in her face. You know that!

Broots is too far gone for logic and instead settles for sniffling into his hands.

*glances down at the slightly-crumpled half-pack of Oreos in her hand*

...want a cookie?

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots wails louder.

[swerval_zero]

So...I guess that's a, 'No,' then.

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"Is it *hic* chocolate?"

[swerval_zero]

*offers the pack* They're Oreos. D'you like Oreos?

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"Do you *hic* have *hic* milk?"

[swerval_zero]

Um. No. Just cookies. I could...I could get milk?

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots blinked at Zero and tried to follow his train of thought. This prooved to be rather difficult. "Um, I think I'll pass." He continued blinking.

[swerval_zero]

*eyes Broots critically* Feeling better now?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I did NOT!" Parker blurts. "She said she liked geeks! I knew a geek! I told her about you! That's it!"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"You felt sorry for me!"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Of course I did, you're-- Oh, no, don't blubber, *please*--"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"Miss Parker, what exactly did I say? And did at any moment I say anything I shouldn't have? Like my first name? Or about ... work?" Broots's brain is beginning to kick in. Very slowly.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Evidently it's a girl's name, but you didn't say which one. And, uh, no. Even in the heights of delirium, you had that much sense." Parker thwaps him with the pillow. "If you ever pull that crap on me again, I'm killing both of us. Just so you know."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots groans. "Please, do that. And it's good that I have sense even when completely out of my mind. Why was I out of my mind to begin with?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"That's what I was asking you. And then, you melted. Gah."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots shrugged. "I woke up. I typed. I typed. I ate a slightly stale sandwich. I went to psych class."
