Sunday Afternoon - Echolls Residence

[fh_jackass]

Logan returned from Wonka's Candy Shop just as the Christmas tree was delivered. Logan directed them to set it up in the living room.

He flopped down on the couch and turned on the TV to watch Scrooged while waiting for the decorations to be delivered.



[Open to house residents and friends. The professional decorators aren't going to show, so we'll have to improvise. And there's candy!]

Parker blinked, and walked inside. "When was that? Parents' Weekend, I'm guessing?"

[fh_jackass]

"Yep, got wireless," Logan said. "The SSID's not broadcast, but it's called 'POSTITNOTE." He turned to Parker. "Halloween weekend, yeah. Angelus introduced me." He grimaced, then a small smile creeped through. "And she burned herself on a cross someone stuffed in my couch."

Parker grinned delightedly, and went to look at the bowl of candies on the table. "Really? Gosh. Who ever could have done that?"

Jenny looked them both over and laughed. "Remind me never to get on your bad sides," she said, flipping open her laptop and looking for a place to sit down. "Okay, we can do this the traditional way, with the crosses and the braids of garlic, and some spiffy Latin chanting, or I can whip out some technomagic and do this via the wiring in your house."

"Personally, I prefer the latter option, but if you want to go with both, I brought the crosses and the garlic." She nodded at the bag she'd brought with her.

"Do you need any help? Or do we need to stay out of the way?" Parker said, watching with interest. "The only magic I've seen was the herbs-and-chanting route, so, tell me where to stand so I don't mess it up."

[romanywitch]

"It depends on which version Logan wants to go with," said Jenny. "The crosses and garlic version also includes chanting. Also a touch of sprinkling of holy water."

"Got it. I'll help if you need it." Parker looks around Logan's house, noting they've gotten it cleaned up from Angelus's rampage. "The place looks better than it did when I came by last week."

[romanywitch]

"Thanks," said Jenny. "I appreciate that."

[fh_jackass]

"Whichever's guaranteed to work," Logan said. "I'm fine with chanting, and I've got crosses and holy water in my room. Probably some garlic in the kitchen, too."

[romanywitch]

"They're both guaranteed, Logan," said Jenny. "The chanting goes with either option."

[fh_jackass]

Logan shrugged. "You're the expert here. Pick one."

Elizabeth snickered, and followed Parker towards the candy, only limping slightly. "Miss Calendar is...?" she asked in a low voice.

"Our new psych teacher, instead of Crazy Squid Lady. Also, Romany. Gypsy. And she knows some magic, so, Logan's getting a big 'do not enter' slapped on the house." Parker took one of the candies, and considered it while her mun goes to look up the list of possibilities from Wonka.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, new psych teacher," Elizabeth grinned, looking across at Jenny. "I might actually take psych next semester if she's teaching it."

She looked over the candies, whilst her mun also went to look up the list

"I've been trying to decide on classes for weeks. Criminal Justice, because Frasier's having too much fun in there. More languages; maybe Japanese and Chinese this time. Speech 301. After that, I'm not sure, but I only want to take four classes," Parker said. "Not Ethics. Too much of a time-suck and a drama quotient." She popped the divinity in her mouth, then turned to Jenny. "Do you need any help with this? Or can we just watch?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth bit the head off one of the penguins. "Yeah, me too," she said. "Keeping on with Speech, and Western Lit. Professor Chaucer wants me to take his poetry class as well, although that quite frankly scares me. I want to add criminal justice too, and I'm thinking that maybe I should take a language this time around." She laughed. "I have no clue how many classes I'm going to end up taking; I just seem to see something that interests me, and go "ooh." I'm awful."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I know. But I've got Student Council, and Honor Society, and Investigators Club, hopefully, and I have to get Gun Club better organized next semester, so... four classes only. And yeah, maybe Psych." Parker grinned, watching Carol Kane yell at Bill Murray, then said, "I heard we might have a different Diplomacy and Negotiations teacher next semester too, so, maybe that as well. We'll see."

"The sad thing is? Even extra-curricular activities won't stop me," Elizabeth grinned sheepishly. "When the weather's better, I want to talk to the coach about getting a track team sorted perhaps. I mean, there's only really ice-hockey and wrestling for sporting extra-curriculars.

I think I'm going to wait and see what's offered and when. I might change my mind if something's on at 9am Monday mornings!"

She looked at Parker curiously. "What's Investigator's Club? And the mun wants to know about the Honor Society."

[fh_jackass]

"Some pushy bitch with no sense of boundaries," Logan said without malice.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker considered that, then shrugged, still smiling. "Yeah, I might know her." She took one of the strawberries and popped it in her mouth. "Mmmm. Wonka's?" she asked, after she swallowed it. "And Scrooged. Heh. I love this movie."

[chasingangela]

"Hey, Parker," Angela says. "I still haven't been to Wonka's shop." Her hand hovers over the candies before she selects a chocolate penguin. "Mmmm," she says, her mouth full. "I need to change that, like, soon."

"They're delicious, aren't they? Definitely have to buy some for Mr. Azriphale's party next week." Parker stood up to see what Jenny was doing, and tripped. "Oof!"

[chasingangela]

Angela raises one eyebrow, slightly concerned. "Parker, you okay?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yes." Parker sounded a little freaked out from the region of the floor behind the couch. "Um, could you come over here, though? I need you to check something."

[chasingangela]

"Okay," Angela said, standing. She walks over and looks behind the couch. "What's going on?"
