Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Finally, she's fully awake and doing something on the computer. It looks like she might be writing purple prose about nymphs and satyrs.

"Hey, Zero," Sam said. She didn't really have a purpose for being here, except that she had free time between Shop and Quantum Physics. "Whatcha doing?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero minimized the window super-quick. "What? Oh, um. Nothing. Nothing at all. Can I help you with somethin'?"

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Naah, just killing time. I haven't seen you in ages, seems like. Did you do anything yesterday?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Bit the heads off gummy bears. Stupid Valentine's Day."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

She rolled her eyes. "Tell me about it. We had kind of an anti-Valentine's Day thing going on in the common room. Watched the Logan's Dad film festival."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, I'm sorry I missed that. I could have been with my people--Logan's dad is an actor? How did I not know this?"

"Your people are probably going to have their own table at the dance, too, if you want to join us and throw things," Sam said, dryly, "and I don't know. I don't think he talks about it much."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"I'll be with my people, then. Solidarity forever." Zero sighed. "Yeah, it can be hard with famous parents. Like, the cops got called to my fifth birthday party, and it was in all the American and British tabloid rags."

Re: Third Period

Sam had completely missed the retrospective on Zero's parents. "Wow, that's got to be like living under a microscope. How do you handle it?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Lots of patience. And if it gets too annoying like if your grandmother pickets your house, there's always Hong Kong."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hong Kong, huh? I've never been. What's your favorite thing to do there?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Run from the British secret police and Chinese gangsters The street markets are swerval. That's where I got my bird, Fish."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Cool." She nodded, having been to a couple of street markets during the time she spent in the Gulf. "How'd you get Fish through customs, anyway?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, we had to stay in the quarantine hoosegow for a month." Yes, 'we.'

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You stayed with him? Wow, that's some serious devotion, Zero."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Well, I wasn' gonna leave the little guy all by himself in there. It wasn' so bad. Quieter than the prison suite of the Hong Kong Hilton a houseful of my family, anyway. I wrote a lot of letters."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You're the only one I know who considers the Hong Kong customs area not a bad place to be, Zero."

Re: Fourth Period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker slept in, but she's here to help now. She'd be helping with the purple prose, except Zero is, apparently, still not speaking to her.

Re: Third Period

"Morning, Parker." Elizabeth's armed with a map and guidebooks. This is probably very dangerous.

Re: Third Period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Liz. Making progress on the trip?" Parker scans the titles, impressed.

Re: Third Period

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Five days is not enough time to see London, let alone England," she sighed.

She opened out the



map on the table in front of her.

"Personally, I'm thinking we should ignore anything north of, say, Birmingham or Nottingham and to the west of Bath to start with. We'll be flying in and out of London - either Heathrow, which is the red H, or Gatwick - the G.

The red line is Dover or Folkestone to Calais."

Re: Third Period

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker contemplated that, thinking. "You're going to have a fight on your hands with Angel, you know. I'm not saying you're wrong. But maybe we leave a free day in there, so anyone who wants to can go somewhere else too?"

Re: Third Period

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"See, I'm not sure where we'll be getting a free day from. We'll be flying overnight on Friday, landing Saturday morning. So, Saturday will not be for anything particularly taxing because of the jet lag, and we'll probably be early to bed. Sunday will be dependant on opening hours, which gives us only Monday and Tuesday as full days, because we're flying back Wednesday."

Frowning, she paused and thought. "If he's that desperate, we might be able to fly Wednesday morning to Ireland, and if we can get the timings worked, spend a couple of hours there before flying back."

Angela is still around, somewhere. She might actually be working, omg.
