"I should so drive down and see you guys, take the ferry out there. If the ferry goes there. Or is there a causeway now? God, that's confusing." Parker snickered and started making coffee. "But yay! At least we can talk a bit without having to calculate time zones for however long you're there. How goes the post-graduation summer in Fandom, aside from side-trips to Greece and France?"
"It's interesting," Isabel replied. "We're in the cabins. So no privacy and I've done a stupid thing. But I'll tell you about that later. The real reason I called was because I got a postcard. From Bolivia."
"Stupid thing?" Parker asked, intrigued, then rolled her eyes. "Oh did you. And did Wonderboy give you any details about where he is likely to be today, as opposed to two weeks ago?"
Because yeah, the subject turns to Jarod, and the Snarkmeter just flips on.
Parker listened, tapping her fingers on her coffee cup, then sighed. "I got one too," she admitted. "He's with his father. I don't know where his mom is, or what's up with that, but he's still tapping my e-mail, and I'd bet money he's doing the same thing to you, if that UNLV ref is any clue."
Parker cracked up, pulling up her legs as she settled into the window seat. "Serve him right if that throws him. Knowing him, he either won't get it or will be terminally amused." She sighed. "I'm glad he's okay, though. I was starting to wonder...."
"I just want to know if it's ever going to end." Parker knew it couldn't, really, not while the Centre was still looking for Jarod's family. Look what they'd done to Kyle. "Or when." She sighed, trying to be more upbeat. "But. it was a nice break from Hell Week. What's the latest weirdness for you guys, aside from being in, oh, France?"
"People were ponies on Saturday. Brightly colored ponies," she said, still amused. "We got lucky and the weirdness passed us by, so we went out to play tourist for the day in Greece."
