Second Floor Common Room, Saturday evening

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Sphere of Flame, with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, was playing in the common room. Parker had appropriated all the pillows, a big bowl of popcorn, and about a liter of Diet Coke to help her in watching it.

After detention, Zero went to her room, changed out of her clothes, which her dye had sadly bled all over (her bad), and went to find something to do.

Oh, look. Parker and a movie. Something (aka mooching popcorn) to do found. "Hey!"

Parker looked away from Gary Cooper trying to chat up Barbara, and grinned. "Hey. How went Detention?" She threw a kernel in the air and caught it in her mouth.

"I got rained on an' there was some crazy lady what wanted me to get milk from the cow store."

Parker snickered as Stanwyck vamped Cooper into letting her stay at his place. Mostly by showing off her legs. "Milk from a cow store?" She paused. "Were there giants involved? Or magic beans?"

[swerval_zero]

"No, at least not yet," Zero told her.

Wyatt wandered into the common room after talking with Phoebe upstairs. He waved a hello and headed to the kitchen area in search of food. Food that wasn't mealworms.

"Hey, Wyatt," Parker said in an abstracted voice. She cocked her head and asked, "How are you doing?" a little more cautiously, wondering if he'd run into Phoebe that week.

[blessed_twice]

"I'm glad to be human again," Wyatt said absently, finding the fixings to make a sandwich. He toyed with the idea of cooking a burger or something, but he hadn't inherited his mother's culinary skills, and so it could end in tears. Or fire.

"Ohhhh, boy. What were you other than human, and for how long?" Parker peeked over the back of the couch, watching him make the sandwich. "And can I ask how it happened?"

[blessed_twice]

"Sugar glider," Wyatt said. "Like a flying squirrel, I guess. Anders was taking care of me." He left out the part about, you know, waking up naked and snuggling in his bed. Finishing the sandwich, he took a seat in one of the common room chairs. "Not-Phoebe turned me into it when I realized there was something wrong."

[swerval_zero]

"Hey, Wyatt," Zero said. "What's the swoo?"

[blessed_twice]

"Enjoying life on two legs again," Wyatt said as he settled in a chair with his sandwich.

[swerval_zero]

Zero nodded understanding. "What were you?" she asked calmly. "I go kitten."

[blessed_twice]

"Sugar glider," Wyatt said. "Small, cute, and furry."

Alanna came into the room, Faithful in her arms. "Hey."

"Hey," Parker said, looking up from another handful of popcorn. "How goes it? Hey, Faithful."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Got a time machine? Or a remote control for the universe?" Alanna aksed and sat down on the couch. "Meow!" Faithful waved at Parker.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I wish. Still working on it." Parker quirked a smile, and offered her the bowl, while reaching out to scratch Faithful along his spine. "But if I had, I wouldn't have been at Gun Club with a hangover this afternoon."

[swerval_zero]

"Hey, Alanna!" Zero called. "What's the swoo?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna blinked. "What's the what?" Faithful scowled. "What am, I chopped liver?"

[swerval_zero]

"Swoo. An' yes, Faithful," she said in a totally deadpan voice, "you are chopped liver."

"Oh, cool, movie!" Turtle said as she plopped herself down on a couch unceremoniously and hoping her boredom could now be cured.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Turtle. Long time no see." Parker yawned, and passed over a pillow. "This is one of my faves."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Parker," Turtle nodded, grinned, and took the pillow, adjusting herself around it to get a little more comfortable. "Don't think I've seen it. I'd ask if it's good, but, if it's one of your faves, I think that answers the question."

Parker grinned. "Gangsters, nightclub singers, dorky professors, misunderstandings, true love." She shrugged. "Plus, great outfits on Barbara Stanwyck. What have you been up to recently? Happy late birthday, by the way."
