Most of interior of the classroom has been cleared of furniture. What remains has been stacked at the front of the class, along with a selection of things like packing crates, pilates balls, stepladders, that sort of thing.

Autolycus grinned like a maniac. "Today, kids, you're going to work together to create an installation."

Re: The Installation!

Parker goes bouncing by on a Pilates ball.

Re: The Installation!

"Okay, that's just disturbing," Angel said, watching her.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker chortles. And bounces some more. "Hey! We need music. We should hook up a laptop? With iTunes? And put it on random? So that when the dominos hit the box you get music. Or something."

*bounce!*

*gleeeee*

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Okay, yes," Angel said. "But are you drunk?"

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"What? No, not drunk." Parker stops bouncing, and the smile turns down by about, oh, ten watts. But then she does a little chair-dance on top of the Pilates ball. "Just glad it's Friday. Just happy?"

She tries to look calm. Really she does.

Angela giggled. "Just that it's Friday?" she asked. "But I do think music would be good. Maybe 80's music, something really obnoxious and happy."

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I like 80s music," Angel mumbled.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yay! And um, yes? Friday? What else could it be?" Parker bounces again, then twirls off the ball to dance over to Angela. "Yes! Bangles! Or B-52's! Rock Lobster!"

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Love Shack?" Angel suggested.

Re: The Installation!

[chasingangela]

"Either that or "Rock Lobster" is perfect," Angela enthused. She had a theory about what else could put Parker in this kind of mood, but why push her luck?

Besides, her brain was loudly singing "It WASN'T a ROCK ... it was a ROCK LOBSTER! (Shadoopaboop!)" at her, which kind of killed higher thought.

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Lobsters are more arty," Angel agreed.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Both! And 'Roam!' ~Roam where you want to, roam around the world--~"

Parker stopped singing and looked embarassed.

But she was still smiling a little. And bouncing.

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No, wait, I got it," Angel said. "You ate in the cafeteria."

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grinned at him. Then shook her head. Still smiling.

"It's bad, isn't it? I keep trying to stop smiling, and it keeps happening anyway."

She twirled.

Re: The Installation!

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You know if I was like this you'd stake me."

[ooc: going to lunch, back in about an hour]

Re: The Installation!

And even that only dimmed her for about, oh, 15 seconds.

"I know! It's terrible." Parker nodded solemnly, and then the smile broke free again. "Good thing I'm not an accursed soul-possessing vampire, hunh? I can be like this and freak you out and be happy and it's Friday, Angel and Angela! Yay!"

Parker glee'd at Angel, grinned at Angela, then nearly skipped over to grab a laptop to start looking for Rock Lobster.

Rory wandered over with a pilates ball in her hands.

"Are you high?" she asked seriously.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"No!" Parker actually looked offended there. Briefly. "I can't be happy? I can't just be gleeful about something that doesn't include thwarting or outsmarting someone?"

She grinned. "Damn. Missed the memo." She pulled up B-52's on the laptop, then spun in place again. "Oo! We should have the Pilates balls suspended? And have them release at different moments! And I'm being loud, aren't I?"

Re: The Installation!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"What are you gleeful about? And yes, loud. Which is why I went for under the influence," Rory said wryly.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker somehow got the volume on herself under control, and restrained a squeee!. She took a breath and grinned wickedly at Rory. "I'm Amy."

Re: The Installation!

Isabel took a seat on a crate and watched Parker twirl.

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waved to her as she twirled, then stopped, calming down by about twenty-five percent. "Hey! We need to kick Skeeter's ass! How are you?"

Re: The Installation!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's okay," Isabel smiled thinly. "It's enough being somewhat ET-like. I'd prefer not to look like him as well. And given her habit of changing people...."

She'll just evade the question of how she actually is. Oh distraction. "You're mightly cheerful today."

Re: The Installation!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I'm still going to try to think of something. Maybe something John can do, since he keeps throwing himself in the line of that wand." Parker shook her head, and then her smile crept back, a little more self-conscious, but still bright. "Um, yes? Maybe? Kinda? Yay, Friday?"

Re: The Installation!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sure..." Isabel drawled. "You've been like this every Friday in class."

Her smile was still tight and her hands were fisted shut to hide the shaking, but Isabel tried to relax enough to be happy for Parker. "Something's up. Spill."

And she's not about using a little bit of guilt if she had to. "Distract me."
