Rooftop: most of the afternoon

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Before going down to meet the new people, Parker decided a real welcome was in order.

That's why she was blowing soap bubbles off the roof, right over the entrance.

The new people should get *some* hint this place wasn't normal before they met the squirrels....

Following the bubbles, D'anna made her way to the roof where she found a nice spot to peer down at the new people as they stumbled in.

"A step up from rocks." She greeted Parker with a nod to bubbles already floating in the air.

"And less likely to get me Detention before the semester even starts," Parker agreed. "Happy New Year. Seen anyone new and weird yet?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Easier to carry, too." D'anna grinned. "Happy New Year. New, yes. Weird, not yet but there's always hope!"

Parker grinned. "Definitely. How was your break?" She dipped the loop into the bottle, and blew another string of transparent bubbles off the roof. The wind caught them and sent them drifting down over the entrance. "Did you get back to Leonis?"

"We have got to get you a hobby," Zero said after following the soap bubbles to the roof and finding Parker there.

"This *is* my hobby. Torment and confusion," Parker pointed out. "God, I lvoe the hair."

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, well then," Zero said. She gave Parker an impish grin and asked, "Got any more?"

Parker poked her loop into the bottle, and fished out another wand. "Yours to command. How was New Year's? Seen your boyfriendly type yet?"

"Avoiding the insanity?" Isabel asked, dropping down to sit next to Parker.

"Mmmm, and the inevitable crushing, bumping, and bruising. I have to go down there later, but not yet, thank God." Parker blew more bubbles off the roof, then grinned. "Seen anyone interesting? Anyone I can hook up Anders with?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That depends, does he want a guy or a girl hook-up?" she aked. "Because I only talked to guys."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Don't think he has a preference there, and my standards for him are pretty much limited to 'sane and cute'. Any of them look like they bat for his team? Or both?" Parker grinned, and blew a really huge bubble toward Isabel.

Anders came up from the common room for a smoke where he wouldn't be setting a bad example for all the new kids. Well, that idea went right out the window with Parker there.

"Interesting new hobby you have there."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker winked at him, then blew a couple bubbles toward the stairwell. "It's harmless! And it makes this place like a wonderful fairyland. Or possibly a wedding reception." She grinned. "Want to try?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"It scares me when you're this cheerful, Parker," Anders told her. "Besides, I've already freaked out one poor new kid something fierce."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yaaaaay," Parker said, applauding. "What did you do to them? Are they doubting your sanity or their own right now?"

[swerval_zero]

"Daisy!" Zero chirped. "Long time, no see!"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Zero!" Anders called, heading over to offer her a hug. "Love the hair. How was Christmas?"

Peter had avoided the bulk of the new students so far as the mun was at work and the post is approaching 1400 comments, but he felt that the roof might be a good way to meet some of them. If they were into hanging out on roofs.

"Hey," he said. "Good evening to all roof dwellers."

[swerval_zero]

"Hey, you!" Zero called from the ledge. She waved the hand holding a bubble wand at him. Ooh, bubbles.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, bubbles," Peter said, walking over. "I like the hair. Very school spiritish."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Peter. How was the Big Apple?" Parker blew a stream of bubbles toward him. "Have you freaked anyone out yet?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"New York was interesting as always," Peter said. "I'm leaving it at that. And why would anyone be freaked out by me?" It was a totally innocent question.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Happy New Year!" Isabel waved.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you're back," Peter said. "Happy New Year!"
