The Roof (Again), Saturday Evening

[cantgetnorelief]

He wasn't sure how many details of his adventure the previous night had already gotten around, and the power issues were probably helping that, but either way Anders had decided that laying low would be a good idea for a while. Especially since he figured Parker and Zero, if not the rest of the band, were going to kill him for his . . .

Parker was not heading up to the roof to smoke. She didn't take her cigarettes. She was just trying to think, and an M-less room and a non-ringing phone insured that her own suite made that impossible.

Seeing Anders smoking didn't help her mood any.

"Youuuuu...." She stomped over to him, snarling the second she saw him.

. . . well, of course, this just figured.

"I'm still in one piece?" Anders offered quickly, trying and failing to hide the cigarette behind his back.

"Gimme those!" Parker took a breath, and stepped closer. "Yay. One piece. Bel didn't take you to Hell to be his love-slave. And now you're throwing it away with lung cancer. FRAKKING BRILLIANT!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Anders protested, flinching back instinctively but not surrendering the cigarette. "I told you I'd quit, just not yet!"

It was not the best thing he could have said by any means, was it?

Bel headed up to the roof for a cigarette of his own. He did this all the time, so it certainly wasn't out of any urge to possibly witness any particular conversation currently going on or the after effects there of. Really.

Parker turned around. And in her present state of mind, snarled.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked. "What's your problem?" he said.

[mparkerceo]

"MEN." Parker took a breath, paused, and then pointed at Anders. "Him! And you!" She pointed at him, then at the cigarettes. "Those! The universe!"
