Zero waits on the front steps of the school for Parker. They really need to get a move on if they're going to beat traffic on the mainland and pick up the puppy on time.
(ooc: I'll be offline in a bit, so Parker is free to god-mode Zero as necessary.)
"My dad's in money. And think tanks. Smartest solution gets the most dollars. Sometimes that means doing lame psych experiments to see what gets the best results." Parker pushes her sunglasses up.
"Well, if I knew how to drive you there, we could always roadtrip to him...."
He's in Massachusetts. It's too grindin' far. That's what started all this; he couldn' come for homecomin' an' he told me when I was sick an' cranky an' it all just went to squallin' hell.
"Crap. Sorry. It's been two weeks, though, maybe he's... maybe he's missing you, now." Parker knows she sucks at the comfort thing. But Zero sounds so miserable, she has to try.
"Jarod." She takes a breath. "Jarod was-- is, one of my old friends from Blue Cove." What had she been talking about, when his name slipped out? Something harmless, like... "Oh, right. He was the one who showed me the bunnies. I wasn't supposed to be in there."
Parker smiles again, bright and soft, but gone very quickly. "Yes. But that's Jarod for you."
They're nearing the end of the causeway, and Fandom High is visible on top of the island, the school flag flying, second tallest thing on the island next to the church steeple.
