Second floor common room [Evening]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin had spent most of the day brooding meditating and replaying the trip to Coruscant in his mind.

The thoughts it had led to had been entirely too depressing.

That's why he had migrated up to the second floor common room and commandeered the television set.

Not that the last Space Battles prequel was any less depressing, but he could keep himself entertained by mocking the terrible technology and equally terrible dialogue.

Callisto didn't answer.

Parker gritted her teeth. "I will come *find* you, with Bel teleporting me, if you don't. I'll tell Widow Twanky ... something, I don't know what. I'll, I'll show pictures of you in the red dress to your army...."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Somehow I find myself unintimidated."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker glared at her, then smirked. "I'll drag Angel along too. Want me to do that?" Then she thought about it. "No, seriously. Want me to do that?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto's jaw worked and her eyes looked suspicously shiny. "Like he'd even care."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, he'd care." Parker looked at her, and her voice softened. "And not just because I threatened him, either. But it's your call."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I want him," Callisto said quietly. "Sometimes I wish for Angelus back, just so I could stop wanting him so much."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker winced. "Ow. Ow. I'm sorry." She was quiet a moment and said, "Anything you want me to do, I'll do it."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Don't tell him I said that," Callisto said. "The bit about Angelus, he'd take it the wrong way and he most likely hates me already enough as it is."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I won't. I promise." Parker sighed. "And he doesn't hate you." After a second she said, "I'll send you chocolate. And silk. And booze. If you just write. And maybe a vampire, if he screws up again here."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"COuld've fooled me."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"He's talented like that." Parker stood up, and shook her head. "I'm expecting a call from Jack. And I know you haven't promised, but I have. Me, Bel, and Angel, in the middle of your camp, if you don't write."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"How is the idea of Angel at my mercy if I don't, supposed to encourage me to write?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker cocked her head at her. Then grinned. "I could bring Logan too?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Again, not seeing the downside to leaving Logan with a couple of dozen heavily armed men."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You just don't like writing, do you."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"What's there to write about? 'Dear Parker. Today I killed people. Go me. Callisto'"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"'Dear Parker. Today I saved people as well as killed them. Today I re-commissioned the weapons. Today I learned a new cool thing with the sword. Today I--'" Parker's trying to think and then points at Callisto, triumphant. "Ooo. 'Today I met Hercules and Iolaus.'"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Dear Parker. Today I posioned Iolaus to get at Hercules because Hera promised me a way to get at Xena. It did not go well and as a result I am both immortal and trapped in a cape for the rest of eternity. Cal. PS. Rats are boring company."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker thought about that for a whole second. "Yeah, don't do that. Seriously."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I suppose you don't want the 'Dear Parker. Became a god today. Getting stuck in lava sucks. Please to be sending jackhammer crew at earliest convience.' either?" Callisto asked. "It was a kinda comprehensive vision."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"No, you can send that one. I actually can find a jackhammer somewhere. Although it sounds like a bulldozer would be a better option." Parker glared at her. "Greek fatalism is responsible for tragedy. I'm finally getting what was such a buzzkill about the Oresteia."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"The who?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker blinked, then rubbed her face. "A trilogy based on history, the fall of the house of... forget it. Not important. The Furies win, that's all you need to know."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"The Furies who drive those who fail to avenge their kinsmen mad."
