Pangolin Cabin: outside, morning

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker had gotten a hot shower (hurray!) then gotten dressed and decided to take cupcakes and croissants outside with her espresso while she ate. None of her bunk mates seemed to be awake yet, so she was sleepily watching the camp wake up.

[open to all, yay]

Eager to practice his non-verbal communication skills, Jack had slipped out of Seahorse. Spotting Parker, he headed over, grinning madly as he sprawled next to and lifted an eyebrow in question.

Parker raised an eyebrow in response, and offered him a croissant while she took another sip of coffee.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Looking at her quizzically, he took croissant and mouthed 'Thank you', wondering if she knew about the no speaking thing yet.

Parker gave him a look, wondering if he were trying to be considerate of her bunkmates, then said, "They sleep like the dead."

Or rather, tried. And frowned. She cleared her throat.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

No, then. Tapping her hand, he pointed to his mouth, shook his head, then swept his hand wide, indicating the entire camp.

Okay, he didn't know it was the entire camp, but it seemed a pretty safe asumption.

Xander, heading past Pangolin towards Flamingo, stopped when he saw people sitting outside, and waved, holding up his whiteboard with a questioning look. Which... was probably helped along by the fact that the board said Can anybody talk?

Parker put the coffee down and gave Jack a disbelieving, no way! look. She cleared her throat again. Nada. She screamed. Nothing.

She gave Jack a look of pure disgust, then made a jerky, encompassing-the-campground gesture. Then a look of inquiry, palms out in question.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack shook his head, but he didn't look too worried about the situation. What he mostly looked was amused.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker shook her head vehemently, then shrugged her shoulders in helpless what's-going-on? She pouted at Xander, looking desperate, then pointed to his whiteboard and made a begging gesture.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It's everywhere," he mouthed slowly, patting her cautiously on the arm.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker glared. Then pouted. And thwapped at his arm.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

She sighed heavily, looking mournful, biting her lip as she looked out at the campsite. She pantomimed typing, then writing, and then scowled.

This was going to get old really fast.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He made a show of patting his pockets, then shrugged again. He hopped up and paced away, staring at the ground, then swooped down and grabbed a stick, carrying it back and offering it to her, then pointing at the small patch of dirt near the stairs.

Blair wandered up and sat down near Parker without bouncing. He lifted a hand to give a small wave.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

WTH? she wrote in the dirt. Parker erased that with her foot, then wrote, Seawhores? All of them?

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander wrote This happened at home. If it's that, it's bad. But could be just Fandom Island Wackydance too. Then he offered her the board.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker noted the lack of bouncing and was immediately worried. She waved back, then pointed at Blair, eyebrows up in question, as she pointed to him, then to her throat.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker erased the board, then wrote When? How? And how did they make it stop? And if it's Fandom, would leaving the Island fix it, you think? She flipped the board around, and waved to the campground.

The urge to stamp her feet and pout was nearly overwhelming.

Jack recognised the warning signs of an impending Parker tantrum, and reached for her hand, gently massaging her palm, and bumped his shoulder against hers.

He also tapped the board and pointed at Xander, indicating she should maybe give it back to him so he could answer her questions.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He nodded, grinning at the name, then pointed in the direction of the dorms and nodded again.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rolled her eyes at herself, and handed the board over to Xander, then took a long huffy breath as she tried to let Jack calm her down. Except it wasn't, even that didn't sound right.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair nodded and mimed talking with his hands and then sleeping. Then he pretended to wake up and covered his mouth with his hand.

He also mimed cupcake, looking at Parker hopefully.

Too many thoughts competed for brainspace, and too many questions for a stupid stick. Parker whacked it on the ground, face stormy, just as Xander walked up. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/708516.html?thread=47927972#t47927972)

Parker handed him a cupcake, looking frustrated. She pointed toward Xander, then stamped her feet in annoyance, and mouthed, "Monster. Maybe," very carefully to Blair.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander wrote beneath Parker's questions, not erasing them.

Before Christmas break. Demon/monster guys. Nasty - cut out people's hearts. Buffy found the voices somehow and then killed them by screaming.

When he got to the last question, he just shrugged and opened his free hand widely in a Hell if I know gesture.

When it happened at home they quarantined town.
