Luke's Diner, Thursday

Ugh. That jerky white kid was back at the house again this morning. After the...issue...that had arisen when Alec, Jerkface, and Weird Girl had woken up sharing a bed, Alec had been more than happy to spend all of yesterday avoiding them, even if that had meant participating in the paintball thing. But he hadn't had any of his fake credit cards or IDs on him, so he'd ended up going back to the house last night.

To find Jerkface also there. Ugh. And he thought Weird Girl might have been around, too, but she was fast and kinda creepy, so it wasn't like he'd gone looking.

So Alec was out of the house as soon as he was up (at the crack of noon!), casually swiping one of the expensive laptops that had been lying around. Maybe if he could hack into that (maybe? HA!), he could get himself an ID and a cash stream and away from the house. Before Jerkface could decide to beat him up for, like, existing or whatever.

The sign on the restaurant's window caught his eye:

Today's Specials
Yeah, we know you don't have money. Come in and get a meal and pay us back next week. Unless you're Eliot, Hardison, Miguel, or Kanan Caleb. You gotta work.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
Shrimp Fajitas (You're welcome, adults)


Free food? Ish? Alec was going to worry about why he was singled out later. He was going in to peel some potatoes and get a huge helping of spaghetti and meatballs.

Nerd Boy had a Nana. Jock Boy had a Mama. Well, Parker had an Archie, so there. He was just harder to explain. And he didn't expect Parker to cook or anything. Mostly they ordered take-out.

She pointed solemnly at the freezer in answer to his question, and then picked up a peeled potato to sniff it. Then started nibbling. "Jock Boy isn't around, right?"

Parker licked the potato, then shrugged and put it down.

"Promise not to try to stop me? I don't wanna have to hurt you." Parker's squirrelly look was pretty much composed of side-eyeing and a weird little smile, and Alec was getting the full benefit of it now.

You are a very smart Nerd Boy, Alec.

Parker tip-toed over to the freezer, looked around, then opened it with a flourish.

A couple snowflakes fell on the kitchen floor.

"This."
whoisalicewhite: (Happy)

Parker nearly danced around in a circle at Alec's reaction. "See? See? I am going in here, and I am going to find out how far it goes, and if I see a polar bear again I am going to follow it home."

It so would. Including:

"Come see!" Parker reached in and pulled out a bag of ... frozen french fries? Why not. "I did this before, but the Jock hung onto me until the polar bear left."
whoisalicewhite: (antlers!)

"I think he was maybe trying to protect me." Which was mystifying, but whatever. "Or he just had a weak stomach, 'cause he thought it would eat me. But I don't think Santa would let that happen."

"What's Narnia?" Parker asked, curious. "I just want to get to where the workshop and the life-size candy canes are."


[ooc: your PB continues to be adorable and ridiculous.]
whoisalicewhite: (yeeee.)

Parker gasped in shock. Then slammed the fridge door shut. "No! Why? That's mean."
whoisalicewhite: (teen Parker)

Parker yanked open the door again at that. "Then why are we still here?!" Clearly there were elves to be defending! And reindeer to save!

Parker pointed significantly to the tundra. "Polar bears. Santa. Do you have snow shoes?"
whoisalicewhite: (flipped upside down)

"I don't know who that is," Parker said in a flat voice. She took a step forward. "But maybe I'll bring you back a penguin. Maybe."
whoisalicewhite: (Stand-up Waitress)

"How is Narnia inside the walk-in freezer?" Parker asked, fairly reasonably, she thought.
