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.

"Someone has cookies?" Rory asks with interest. "And I have no idea why you were crying. Or what exactly happened there."

Broots passes her an Oreo. "That makes two of us."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"So," Rory says, twisting the Oreo and licking the cream, "you're Parker's assistant?"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Familiar ground. "Um, yeah. I worked for/with her for about a year."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Nifty. You're not dead. You must be special," Rory replies, glad to keep her mind occupied.

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"I'm useful. And I don't annoy. Usually."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods. "Yeah, she seems to like people who aren't annoying. No idea why she puts up with me, since I'm apparently the worst person ever."

"No you're not." Broots hand her a cookie. "You tried to comfort the crazy dude. Very crazy dude."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory manages a small smile and accepts a cookie. "Ah, yes, but I also managed to hurt my boyfriend and get a friend punched in the face. Busy day for Rory."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots shrugged. "Things happen. Apparently, I went crazy."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"But now you're back," Rory points out. "No more crazy. Whereas Jake is a homeless person with a black eye, and Logan's not talking to me."

Broots proccesses this and hands over the bag of cookies. "You win."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yay," Rory says, brightening a little. "Day is looking up a teeny tiny bit. Cookie?" she offers.

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"I think I"m good."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Boo," Rory says, shrugging. "So. Are you the Broots who took Zero to Homecoming?"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"And spilled punch on her dress? Tha'd be me."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yes. She spoke highly of you, in spite of the punch. Oh, and you must be the guy who helped Parker with our campaign...with all the techno-stuff."
