Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

*ring*

Parker had time to kill. The line for the pizza parlor was about half an hour long, from what she could tell. And better to make this call sooner, rather than later.

"Uh, hello?" Bridge says, picking up the phone.

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[mparkerceo]

"Hey Bridge. It's Parker." She put one hand over her opposite ear to shut out the noise of the pizzeria, and raised her voice. "How's it going?"

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[bridge_carson]

"Dude!" Bridge perks up. "Hi! Things are good!" We'll ignore for now the fact that there was bitching at Xander last night, yes.

"Yeah? I heard the psycho principal left, so congrats." Parker shifted her weight so she could hear Bridge better. "You're on break now, right? Going anywhere before classes start?"

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[bridge_carson]

"No! Definitely no going anywhere! We're staying right here thanks." Bridge might sound a little emphatic about that.

"How *did* that visit to see your parents go? Xander was incredibly unforthcoming on the subject," Parker asked, diverted.

"Good, I think, I mean, there was the thing with the knife but I'm pretty sure that was an accident and things turned out well in the end and they *liked* him just like I said they would!" Bridge babbles.

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

Parker started laughing and didn't stop for several minutes. "Ahem. Okay! So, good to know. Which one had the knife? And is Xander ever going back there, ever?"

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[bridge_carson]

"My mom, but I don't think she actually realised that she had it. Or that she was waving it around kind of threateningly. And yes, if I have anything to say about it."

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[mparkerceo]

"You will." Parker knew how hard Xander found it to not cave in to Bridge, and wasn't betting any money on this outcome. "I'm glad it eventually got worked out, though." She grinned. "Guess where I am."

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[bridge_carson]

"Um," Bridge thinks. "Didn't you say you were staying with Zero in LA?"

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[mparkerceo]

"Yeaaah, not so much since late last night. Zero coaxed me onto an 'adventure.'" Parker rolled her eyes. "I'm in Nevada. Several miles outside of the Burning Man festival. Where about 30,000 crazy people have kicked the idea of a capitalist economy aside and are flashing peace signs at me at every opportunity."

"Okay, I'm going to need pictures," Bridge says solemnly. "Because without hard evidence? I'm not sure I can believe that."

Re: Zinging in by satelline from Gerlach, Nevada

[mparkerceo]

"Believe it. I'm taking a million pictures, you'll have proof, but I can't send it right away. The phones *don't work* on the playa," Parker said with perfect disgust. "It's like being in Fandom, on drugs. Huge Cheshire Cat cars. Camps in psychedelic colors. And did I mention the heat? Gah!"

Bridge giggles. "You'll survive. It'll make you a stronger person!"
