James T. Kirk Memorial Causeway: after classes

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Going back to 1955 was requiring fashion sacrifices. Parker had opted for a longer skirt than usual; flatter heels than usual; and a trenchcoat, because hey, that's classic. She had a folded-up copy of the newspaper article in one pocket, and a set of kid's walkie-talkies for communicating if they got separated in Crabapple Cove.

She was waiting for the group; as soon as everyone was there and Willow had given them whatever spell she'd worked up, it was time to go retrieve Hawkeye.

Before they leave...

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker had debated taking Dave, then realized she'd stand out way too much. So they were going to have to hoof it.

Everyone was waiting on Willow to explain how they were going to get back.

And Parker was still obsessing on her Interstellar Relations Final.

This would be where being possessed by a teenage girl from 1950's New Jersey over the summer comes in handy.

She even wearing her Pink Lady jacket...

Hey.

"Hey, Pippi." Parker shuddered when she saw the jacket. "Excuse me while I have a bad magic flashback."

Re: Before they leave...

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sorry... It was all I had that would blend in."

"No, no. I just hope no one expects us to drag race down the Main Street." Parker smiled. "Glad you could make it. And hopefully we can fit in long enough to find Hawkeye. That's all that matters."

Willow was there. She had a backpack full of books, her laptop, and magic supplies.

Of course this was her yellow happy face backpack, but she saw no reason why rescue missions couldn't be cheery.

"Hey, Willow. Did you get all your spells ready?" Parker handed her a walky-talky. "In case we get separated once we're there."

Re: Before they leave...

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Willow said. She turned her walkie talkie on to make sure the battery was good. "Locator, shield, find our way home, and teeth whitening."

Re: Before they leave...

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker blinked. "Tell me that's not all the same spell? Especially the teeth whitening."

Isabel had dropped off Benjamin, changed into something a little more conservative and fifties-ish, then slowly walked through the snow down to the causeway, hoping like hell Greg wasn't going to be mad. But she had left him a handwavey message earlier in the day, and at this point it was too late to worry about it. Of course tonight she was going to have to come home and leave him a message about yet another rescue mission. Yup, he definitely wasn't going to be happy.

"Hey, Isabel. You ready for this?" Parker cocked her head. "Good outfit choice."

Re: Before they leave...

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I am," she nodded. "The egg child is with his daddy for the night so I'm free." Rolling her eyes, Isabel looked down at her outfit. "I tried for the good girl look."

Re: Before they leave...

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"You succeeded," Parker said with a grin. "Which is what we are. Good girls and students." She looked down at herself. "And possibly Cold War veterans who are making a secret drop of technology information in Maine. But you can always tell people about your baby to reassure them."

Sam walked up, carrying a plethora of maps and print-outs of the interstate system, circa 1955, and wearing some of her Sandy-wear from over the summer. And no, not the leather pants--though she'd never get used to wearing petticoats.

She waved.

Peter had his backpack filled with some supplies. He had his webshooter, some sunglasses, and his Biology books.

Look, he was a nerd. He might need time to study.

"We about good to go?" he asked.

Re: Before they leave...

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We're good," Isabel nodded, kicking at some of the snow. "Magical causeway, here we come."

Crabapple Cove

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker looked around. "Okay. Which way to Hawkeye's place? I have an address for his dad, but I'm not the one with the map."

Re: Crabapple Cove

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi looked around for a street sign.

"Well, my navigation skills tell me the first step in figuring how to get somewhere is to find out where you are..."

Re: Crabapple Cove

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I'm standing next to you," Willow pointed out helpfully, in case that narrowed things down.

Re: Crabapple Cove

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"And we're next to Parker!"

"There's the post office," Isabel pointed out. "Maybe some one wants to go in and ask? This is small town America after all."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

It looks like a nice house. Nice roses out front.

Parker was hoping Isabel would be the one to ring the doorbell, so she wouldn't have to.

Hunh. "Does that old guy look kind of Hawkeye to you?" Parker asked, pointing to an older gentleman, sixtyish, who was shoveling snow off the sidewalk.

[for Hawkeye's dad to ping in; respond at will, when he arrives]

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

Doctor Daniel Pierce was indeed shovelling snow off the sidewalk. He wasn't paying attention to the kids in the street, but he was humming to himself.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He does," Isabel nodded. "Now who's going to go over and explain who we are and why we're looking for his son?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oooh! I'll do it!"
