Animal-Balancing Contest (evening, FHT - first floor lobby)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory arrived in the lobby balancing a tank with a wee turtle in it against one hip, a box from J,GOB in the opposite arm, and a flying puppy on a leash leading her.

She tied Vladdie to the leg of a table, set Yoda's tank and the cake down, and looked around to see what she still needed to set up.

[Yes, even crack-addled ideas like this need OCD threads. Wait for 'em. They're up, but play on the contest itself won't start until 5:30 EST.

ETA: And yes, it originally said it was in the afternoon. This is now set about 8:30 PM FHT.

SON OF ETA: You can eat cake now. Rufus is here!]

"Whatever are you talking about, Miss M. Parker?" John asks demurely. "I'm a good boy."

Parker gave him an incredulous look. "Do I start with telling people to set up me and Angel, your assertion that I look like a young Skeeter, or any of the comments you've made on my friends? No, why don't you pick. Swear to god, if I didn't want the woman to suffer, I'd be rooting for Skeeter."

"Pfft." John shrugs. "My impersonation of Rita Skeeter had nothing to do with my true feelings for everyone. You know Skeeter, she does everything I did and more. I was being accurate."

"Accurate? Are you on crack?" Parker was almost squeaking.

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Accurate in a Skeeter like way!"

"Which is to say, not at all?" Parker rolled her eyes. "I liked the touch with Umberto, though."

"Thanks." John mock bows. "I've got something big planned in a few weeks for radio."

"I fear you, Crichton. I fear that someday, someone will give you a driver's license, or money to create some project, or possibly access to the materials to make your warped little version reality actual, and then, then..." Parker nodded. "I'm movin' to Caprica."

"It'll be good," John promises. "And people like me for my warped version of reality. They laugh at me all the time!"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

"Yessss." Parker was grinning. "That's why you're so terrifying, Crichton. YOu might start something." She cocked her head and looked at the contest in front of her. "Fortunately, around her, it's probably just a trend toward animal transformation."

"And you love me for it," John points out. "John and Parkie forever."

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

The eyeroll there was getting close to cross-eyes. "If I knew this Parkie person, I'd have her locked up for her own good."

"You don't love me, Parkie?" John flails and places his hand over his heart. "I'm wounded. Wounded, I say!"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"John-boy, I don't love anybody. Haven't you heard?"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John totally start singing. "Everybody loves somebody sometimes..."

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I am soooo outta here. Say good-night, John-boy."

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John just grins stupidly. "You can't leave me. Your heart belongs to me!"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I don't have a heart. I have a pocket calculator." Parker waved to John. "I'm asking Aeryn how she puts up with you!"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn has experience," John tells her. "Lots of experience. And patience."

"The woman's a saint. I may nominate her for that. And tell her." Parker grinned. "To see the look on her face."

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"She is a saint," John says and he's serious for this one because he can't help it. "And she deserves her accolades."

Parker smirked. "Your saving grace, John-boy. Watching you around her. It's spared your life. With me, anyway."
