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!]

"Mocking, of course. I could mock for America. But I need to get my practice in. Fortunately, you guys are giving me lots to work with." She grinned. "I don't see your roomie anywhere, is she declining the honor?"

Xander's cheerful expression fell away. "No, she's not here. A friend of hers was in an accident." He winced. "She had to go home for the funeral."

"Damn." Parker's smile faded. "Poor Isabel. Did she say who?" Only because if it was Michael, it might be more than an accident....

"Alex. Not a hard one to remember, there." Xander gestured vaguely towards himself. "She said I remind her of him, actually. Which sounds nice until you think about what a barrel of fun that's not gonna be for her when she gets back."

"Ouch." Parker sighed, only a little relieved. "God, that sucks. Did she say when she'd be back?"

Xander shook his head. "She wasn't sure."

"Crap. Well. Tell her to stop by, when she gets back, if she wants to talk." She sighed. "Stupid universe."

"Will do. And yeah, similar thoughts have been thunk." Xander waved a hand at the animal-balancing antics. "Thus the extreme silly, because it beats the hell out of more thunking."

"And I wish I could argue with that, but unfortunately? I get it perfectly. This place may be warping me."

"And you could tell...how?"

Xander may possibly duck fast enough.

"The fact that my thwapping you is only set on stun, not deadinate?"
soldtoarmenians: (duh)

"How about the fact that you actually just said deadinate?"

Parker laughed. And whapped him again. Set on stun. "Shut-up-inate."
