The Fourth Sin, Saturday Afternoon

[jarodpretends]

Jarod was in the kitchen, and following a few news stories on his encrypted laptop to see if they turned into anything or didn't ring quite true. This was complicated considerably by the cat napping on it. He had yet to notice anything out of the ordinary.

Parker walked in with her purchases from All & Sundries, Jack in tow. Seeing Jarod, she stalked over, dumped the bags, and wrapped an arm around his neck, giving him a kiss that was a good bit more intense than usual.

[jarodpretends]

Jarod was surprised by the intensity, but didn't complain. Not that he could. He quirked an eyebrow at her, then waved hello to Jack.

[anextimeagent]

Jack lifted a hand in greeting, then grinned and pointed at himself, lifting his eyebrows to ask 'What about me?'.

[jarodpretends]

Jarod looked to Parker for help, but she either wasn't in the mood to do so or wasn't paying attention.

Instead, he shook his head no, and pointed at Parker, trying to look regretful.

[mparkerceo]

Parker tilted her head, and cocked an eyebrow, not having caught what Jack had mouthed before, then turned around, shooting him a look.

Then she grabbed one of her Nerf balls and threw it at his head.

[anextimeagent]

Jack laughed silently and snatched it out of the air, holding up his other hand in protest. "Joking," he mouthed, looking an apology at Jarod.

Becky smiled and waved to Jack and Jarod's girlfriend, then pointed at her throat and mouthed, "You too?"

[mparkerceo]

Parker nodded, hard, then pulled a whiteboard out of her shopping bag and handed it to Becky, as well as a pen, before grabbing another one for herself and starting to write on it very quickly.

[jarodpretends]

Jarod tried to read over Parker's shoulder.

[mparkerceo]

Parker turned the whiteboard around and displayed what she'd written:

It's all over the campground, and in town, too, and the dorms. Xander and Bel both know demons who do this.

Xander's = hearts cut out after dark
Bel's = people lose sight/hearing too

BADNESS.

I want a cookie.

She pouted.

[anextimeagent]

Jack winced, still wondering where Cedric was, but he patted Parker's head and wrote on his own whiteboard:

It could just be a bug or something. Not a Demon. Maybe.

And I wouldn't say no to a cookie.

[lesssexthanmiho]

Becky rolled her eyes and after a moment's excavation in the pantry, she found one of Miho's cookie stashes and set it on the table.

HOW DO I KILL IT? she wrote, and held the board up.

[mparkerceo]

Parker gave a despairing shrug, and wiped at her whiteboard, writing:

Xander said a Slayer found the voices somehow, then screamed, killing his last time. But you see the problem. Bel didn't say on his. He was going to research.

She grabbed a cookie and bit into it with extra enthusiasm, looking like she wanted to bite something's head off.

[lesssexthanmiho]

Slayer? I can slay things Becky offered.

[mparkerceo]

Parker looked at that, wondered if she really wanted to explain the one-girl-in-the-world thing, and decided, not.

Maybe? No idea. Need to find voices, first.

Parker remembered to check her phone for anything Xander had texted her, and groaned. Silently.

Students are confined to the dorms tonight!

She stomped her feet.

[anextimeagent]

Jack winced again, and grabbed a cookie off the table, holding it in his teeth while he wrote on the board.

Starting when? And why?
