2nd Floor Common Room - Watching Eternal Champion

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is making posters for her run for junior class representative. She's hoping some of the other StuCo members will come in, so she can talk about it with them. Meanwhile, she's also making this:

Angel for Senior Class Rep!
C'mon, you know you want to
tell him what to do!

VOTE for ANGEL!

Scarily Focused, Now Souled

Her own say:

Parker for Junior Class Representative

Competent Bitch
Enough Said

VOTE!

Feel free to interrupt her, or change the channel.

Desperate to see his Fandom High peers, Lee has quite the bounce in his step as he comes into the common room. "Parker!" he says gleefully.

"Parker." Alanna came in, Parker's present in her hand and Faithful on shoulder.

Parker is, due to things best left unmentioned, inordinately glad to see Lee.

"Apollo!" she says, jumping up and hugging him. "Long time no see, happy New Year, where *were* you?" She pouts at him.

Kara's not there, but it's not like touching Lee is a hardship.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee hugs her back joyfully as OMG person his age and not evil, manipulative and scary! Earth rules! "My name is Lee, Parker," he grumbles with a grin however.

"Happy what?" he asks.

"Alanna! There you are, I haven't seen you in ages. Ooh, I have presents for you somwhere (http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/whatonearth/T-Shirts_1AG/Wit-Humor_1EF/Item) in this mess (http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/whatonearth/-Accessories_1AE/Earrings_1CK/Item_Swarovski-Crystal-Butterfly-Jewelry_AR0512G_ps_cti-1CK.html)," she says, gesturing to her poster set-up. "How was your vacation in Guyland?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"We just had our new calendar year start yesterday," Parker clarifies, hanging onto his arm a little longer, smiling with amusement. "You missed the drunken reveling. And the inevitable ugly hangovers. And I know your name, Adama. I just like my nickname better," she teased.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Well, maybe because we were both out of town?" She flopped down and tossed Parker's presents at her. "Guyland was...was..." "Hilarious." Faithful finished for her. "Nightmarish." Alanna corrected him.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Ah, nice," Lee says, nodding and oblivious to the omgCLING! of Parker on his arm. "I do regret missing the reveling, drinking and hangovers. My own holiday is the definition of SUCK."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Ohhh, no," Parker sympathized, pulling Lee over to her poster set-up, and settling in next to him. "Bad family stuff, or travel crap? And you don't miss the hangovers, I think Sun took pictures of us. I'm not sure, I was a little too muzzy to tell."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Lee's warning bells are just barely registering but he smothers the thought. There's Ellen Tigh and there's Parker. He shrugs the thought off. "My family is insane," he says.

"Pictures, you say? I'll have to track those down," he says with a wicked grin.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Aren't all families nuts?" Parker makes a face, then leans back over her posters, contemplating her artwork. "What do you think, too pushy?"

She's hoping that Thrace comes in, but she's not going to frighten Lee *too* much befor then. "And hey! Don't you owe me a present?" she pouts at him exaggeratedly, batting her eyelashes and then grinning.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker winced on her behalf. "Sorry to hear it. My Guyland included Peter and Paolo and windsurfing. Next time, I'll take you with me," she offered. Ripping open her presents, she smiled. "These are really nice, Alanna. I love the paper." She opened the notebook and flipped the pages, admiring it, then popped open the box of cookies. "Mmm. Yum. Energy for the rest of the campaign." Taking a bite, she chewed, then swallowed, and said, "I assume you got the same email I did."

Kara comes around the corner into the Common Room, and Lee is the first thing she sees. "Lee!" she cries out, a bright smile on her face. She didn't know he was back yet.

Coming further into the room, she sees Parker, and her eyes narrow a bit.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's eyes narrow. "Thrace," she says coolly.

If her hand brushes against Lee's as she grabs for her poster markers, it's probably an accident.

The smile in his direction probably isn't.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna groaned and began opening up her own presents. "Yeah, she did. Nearly threw the shinny thing across the room." Alanna glanced up. "Never get a talking cat. You can't have a private life then." Faithful glanced back at her and grinned before settling down for a well deserved nap.

"Oooh, pretty! Thanks Miss Paker. And yeah, I should start campaigning again. Lemon bars. I couldn't look at lemons for a month afterwards."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara ignores her completely.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Kara!" Lee says, beaming and leaping to his feet.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"I think they look great, Parker," he says honestly.

Panicking at once, Lee bites his lip. "Of course! Your present! You should come by my room to pick it up, I brought it back with me," he says impishly before seeing Kara come in.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker scratched behind Faithful's ears, amused, then shook her head. "At least this campaign is short. Less than two weeks. And people already know who we are." She sighed. "But not everyone on StuCo right now can be junior class reps. I need to ask Liz and Anya if they still want to be on the Student Council. I just assume Phoebe does, since she's President right now. Rory's already said she wants to stay on too."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker raises an eyebrow, but doesn't do anything like trip him, or grope him. Nope.

She glares a little, though.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Well, won't we have a bit of a disadvantage? The Junior class is the largest, by far. And almost everyone who already is StuCo is a Junior."

[pyramid-is-life.livejournal.com]

Kara's smile grows even bigger as she meets Lee in the middle of the room and flings her arms around his neck, squeezing him tightly. Pulling back slightly, she says, "Hey stranger," and kisses him soundly.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Being kissed so soundly as a welcome makes him quite lightheaded, silly and oblivious to the people in the room. He pulls her tightly in and grins into the kiss before pulling away a little. "Gods, Kara," is all he can stammer.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grimaced. "*All* of us are. Three of us don't get to be on it. That's even assuming that other juniors don't run, and say they could do a better job than we did." She sighed, and picked up another marker. "So yes, disadvantage. I'm distracting myself by doing this." She points to Angel's poster, and grins evilly.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker gives a wolf-whistle, then grins. "Get a room. Or something."

Now is clearly not the time to try anything. Annoying.
