Parker is smoking and driving and looking irritable. How did she get talked into this, again?

"So. Which Jack are you going to Homecoming with? And what do you want in a dress?" She slows down as they approach a clutch of shops, and looks for a parking place.

"Jack O'Neill," Anya answers with excitement.

"I want something that is feminine and sexy, but not in a way that screams 'look at me a two-bit hooker that will take one-bit'" she explains.

ooc: totally found dress while surfing today, so you know we can find one quickly to Parker's relief if you want :)

"Hunh." Parker wonders momentarily about that, then dismisses it. Half the people she knows who are 'dating' one another aren't going to Homecoming together. "Interesting. Fairly cool guy, from what I've seen."

She coughs on her cigarette trying to hide a laugh at the next thing Anya says, though.

"Good call." She smirks, and looks around. "Not cheap. Here we go."

_{[ooc: Cool, but we can draw this out a bit. Haven't had a chance to interact with Anya, so, we can look around, chat.]}

"Are you starting to get a cold?" she asks noticing Parker's ~~attempt at a supressed laugh~~ cough. "You know, they say smoking kills."

ooc: Oh yeah, you just *know* shopping with Anya won't be an ~~easy~~ quick process.

"No, just enjoying the fun of a backdraft in my lungs." Parker takes another drag. "Lots of things kill you. At least this one's fun."

She studies the shop in front of them, gesturing to a filmy green confection (http://www.bestpromdresses.com/cache/shop_showproduct_jsp_ID_610.html) in the window. "That your kind of thing?"

"It looks like a celery stick," she announces.

Parker grinned. "It does, doesn't it? Or a grasshopper." She tilts her head. "Not very 80's, either."

She strolls to the next window, examining a dress.

_{[ooc: if you need a link to a pageful, I've got one.]}

where is the rest of http://store.yahoo.com/edressme/homecoming9.html dress?" Anya asks in disgused as they walk into the store.

ooc: stupid cut and paste! We are actually playing password now and the word under the link is *that*

"Not to mention, it'd make your chest disappear." Parker shoots Anya a look. "Well, maybe not yours, necessarily." She wanders on. "So, you and Jack. Friends? More than friends? Hopefully more?"

_{[ooc: Stuff starting in dorms, must go...but I can come back a bit later!]}

ooc: it's all good. Have you seen the elections lately? They are killing us!

"Jack and I will be having our first date, and after that I am sure many others," she says happily, recalling the whole dating process and how it works.

Parker stumbles and blinks. Having seen Jack around with Beka quite a bit, she wonders if O'Neill knows what Anya's thinking.

"Hunh. You *do* know he's seeing quite a bit of Beka Valentine, don't you?"

This is not her business. And she has no moral high ground-- oh wait, she got that back on Monday, when she dumped Gordon. Still not her business, though.

"How about the red one there, with the neckline? It'd look good on you."

"Beka and Jack are done," she announces. "And, he's taking me so I guess it doesn't matter."

Looks at the red dress, shakes her head, and spots a black dress. She decides to try it on.

After floundering in the miniscule dressing room for a bit, she comes out to show Parker.

"What do you think?" (http://hometown.aol.com/bettyjkirby/emma01btvsmag12.jpg) she asks as she twirls around.

Hunh. Okay, I can't keep track of other people's love lives. I officially give up.

"Hmmmm." Parker looks thoughtful, and inspects the dress. "Maybe. It's got definite possibilities. Good material. And you can dress it up with the right lipstick, and hair, and be mid-career Madonna, if you do want to go the 80's route."

"Hmm...I think I will ask the clerk if they will not sell it to anyone so that I can look around and possibly come back and buy it," she says.

ooc: Yeah, me neither but that's Anya's take on it so....

"Good plan." Parker looks around some more, thinking. "What you told us before about Angelus being Angel... it doesn't make you scared to be at the same school as him?"

_{[ooc: I am so sorry, but I am thrashed and crashing. Only a few more posts, and then I just gotta sleep! We can pick this up and finish it tomorrow, though, if you want.]}

"I'd probably be more scared of him if I had actually seen Angelus in action, but it was all through stories. Plus, I've seen a lot of things that were scarier than mr. broody," she says thinking of the old days ~~when she used to be the one causing the chaos~~ then quickly adds, "You do know that Sunnydale is on a hellmouth right?"

ooc: you and me both and i'm trying to be ic for the debates and it's just not working....

"I've seen scary crap in my time too. But that guy takes it one step further than I'm used to." Parker eyes another dress (http://www.emmacaulfield.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=21&pos=12) and thinks.

"Hellmouth? That's a new one."

"Hellmouth, yeah. There's one in Cleveland too," she kinda just babbles as she weeds through dresses.

"That one is nice, kind of says 'look over at me!' " she says not quite getting the saying right.

ooc: I was just getting ready to link that one.....

"Cleveland." Okay, that was someplace Parker had never wanted to go anyway. "Not seeing what Sunnydale and Cleveland have in common, that they both have Hellmouths, actually."

"Look over at ... Oh." Parker's mouth twitches. "Yeah, it does that. I'm not sure you want the feathers, though. Too much western cowgirl. Not enough showgirl."

_{[ooc: *snerk*]}

*Anya suddenly spots something out of the corner of her eye and runs towards it*

"PARKER!" she yells across the store. "I found it, the perfect dress, *and* it will make Jack happy!"

*Picks up dress and heads towards cashier.*

Blinking, Parker follows her. "And why is it both perfect, and going to make Jack happy? And can I at least get a look at it?"

"It fits the rediculous theme someone picked out and Jack can still wear his blues without clashing. Here," she says and thrusts the dress at Parker.

ooc: can't link ya. It's a secret

Resigned, Parker glares but holds the dress. "Fine." She thinks about Jack in his blues and gets more cheerful. "Very fine. This I gotta see.

<sub.[ooc: aww, darn. Okay. :> And I crash. See you at Homecoming!]

ooc: 'night and see you there!

_{[ooc: *resigned look* Killing us how? Just doing better in the debate, or framing Parker for stuff, or setting people on fire?]}

ooc: if only it had been that easy. It was that damn audience participation :)

_{[ooc: Dude. Saw the one about grass being green. *snicker* Well, whenever you're ready, it's your turn...]}

ooc: all right back at you and awaiting your responses

_{[ooc: Ready to get back to this?]}

ooc: I am finally back. Anya's mun makes Anya kind of a slow play character to interact with.
