Soooo, Parker had graduated. There had been Pomp & Circumstance. There had been stupid hats, and stupider robes. There had been pieces of paper with her name on them, granting her the equivalent of a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese and a Bachelor of Science in Economics, with highest honors. (Damn right, given she'd combined the two for her thesis ( Read more... )

Party! mparkerceo June 27 2010, 18:48:13 UTC

Congratulate the graduate! Eat British party food!... which is heavy on the Indian and Chinese and Thai rolls, because this *is* Parker's party.

Yeah, as if Bridge would be anywhere else today?

"Hey, you," he said, wandering over Parker-ward. "You did it. And you didn't even have to fight anything!"

Re: Party! mparkerceo June 27 2010, 19:44:50 UTC

Parker gave him a glimmering smile of relief. "What, giving a report on capitalist market policies in Chinese isn't a fight?"

"I dunno," Bridge muses. "Were there giant monsters?"

Ambush a Sweeper! mparkerceo June 27 2010, 18:49:31 UTC

"Those guys along the edges?" Parker said, keeping her eyes on her punch. "The more of them you can divert into closets, duck ponds, or unconsciousness, the better. I'd appreciate it."

For Parker and her Dad... mparkerceo June 27 2010, 18:50:16 UTC

About two hours into the party, Parker drew her father out onto the balcony. "Daddy? We have to talk."

Re: For Parker and her Dad... centreparker June 27 2010, 20:40:02 UTC

"We certainly do," her father said jovially. "You start work on Monday! But the office is up to you, sweetheart. It's too soon to bring you back to Delaware, but you've got your pick: New York, Los Angeles, Miami... Rome? You liked Rome."

Re: For Parker and her Dad... mparkerceo June 27 2010, 21:01:49 UTC

"I loved Rome." Parker looked down at her hands and took a deep breath, taking the plunge as hard as if she'd jumped off the balcony. "But I'm not going anywhere, Daddy. You are."

Say good-bye.... mparkerceo June 27 2010, 18:51:10 UTC

Because Parker's sailing away for a while. And she'll be in touch, but she could use a hug after that confrontation.

Re: Say good-bye.... izzyalienqueen June 28 2010, 00:39:03 UTC

Isabel gave Parker a few minutes to herself then made her way over. "You okay?"

Re: Say good-bye.... mparkerceo June 28 2010, 00:41:37 UTC

Parker shook her head, wordless and exhausted. How to even try to explain?

Re: Say good-bye.... izzyalienqueen June 28 2010, 00:55:03 UTC

Snagging a drink from a passing waiter, she handed it over. "Take a drink, take a breath. It's over. You did good."

Parker's going to be around the game, but her ultimate destination is still in question.
