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

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!]

Parker waved to Aeryn after she talked to John. "Hey."

"Hi," she says, and realizes that she's lost all basic conversational skills in the last month. It isn't that she doesn't want to talk, but there's not much she can think of to say besides why is your entire species apparently insane?

Probably the expression does it for her, though, or maybe Parker's thinking the same thing. "Hard to believe they were desperately trying to save a life last week, isn't it?" Parker shook her head at Xander holding a chocolate-covered locust, then palmed her face. "Yeah."

"I mean... why?" Aeryn asks, gesturing at the contest, because it's a question that needs to be asked.

"No reason at all. Except to let off steam, I'm guessing. And to break other people's brains." Parker shook her head again. "With extreme dorkiness or self-confidence goes the ability to look stupid without caring."

Aeryn considers this, and finally says, "I'm thinking it belongs in the first of those two choices."

Parker grinned. "So do I. But I'm not going to be the one to say that to Callisto. You can risk that hurricaine." She paused, then asked, "How's everything else going?"

She shrugs a little. "I'm here," she says, by way of explanation.

Parker studied her, and said, "Here at Fandom, or here, watching crazy people balance small domestic animals on their heads?" The raised eyebrow probably pointed out that hey, one of those options didn't make Aeryn as sane as she thought she was.

"Both," she says. "This is the oddest thing I have ever seen in my life."

"I still think Marty as Principal Connor beats it. But only because there was a Muppet Chicken involved." She grinned. "And Johnina might be on that list too."

Aeryn shakes her head. And she chose to come back here, what the frell. "Don't forget the pageant," she says.

"Oh, who could?" Snickering, Parker said, "It might be indelibly etched in my brain." She cocked her head. "I like to think that this kind of insanity-- balances, shall we say, the zombie and snow monster kind."

After talking to Aeryn, Parker might have noticed a shirt. Then she might notice who was wearing it.

Parker paused, eyes offended by the gross fashion violation. Then she blinked, and stalked over, incredulous. "The hell?"

He grinned. "Herb Saunders. Pleasure."

"You are supposed to be resting. 'Herb.'" Poke-poke with the fingernail. "And not exerting yourself." Parker looked around. "And for this?"

Re: During Contest - General Chatter!

"I do not know what you're talking about, stranger," 'Herb' said. "I am here to watch the animal balancing. That is all."

"Your roommate has finally gotten to you, hasn't he," Parker said flatly. "The Crichton insanity has crept across the room and dripped into your ears and convinced you that the Emperor is wearing new clothes, if you cover your eyes no one can see you, and yes, you *are* Herb Saunders and no one will call you on it. You doofus." Poke-poke-poke. "Sit down, at least!"

"I'm not tired!" 'Herb' said. Though he did look it, just a little. He kept his eye on the contest though. "Besides, I want to watch my boy Steve in action."

"Sit down, or I trip you." She looked over at 'Steve' on Callisto's head, and facepalmed. "Oh, that's just wrong."

"Awh, he'll be so disappointed. He warmed up and everything!" 'Herb' perched on the arm of a couch so he could be high enough to see, yet still sitting. If he was Angel, which he wasn't, he might've looked like sitting was a good idea for him.

"He'll live. And he knows you wouldn't miss this. Although you should be." Parker kept a close eye on 'Herb', then said, "And your accomplices are so hearing from me about this, Saunders."

"I have no accomplices, strange lady," 'Herb' said. "I act alone. Like the wolf. Though less hairy in the back region."

"Herb, so nice to see you again," said Janet, coming to stand next to him.
