And if you are here for Near-Uniformly Terrible Parenting 101, I advise that you not talk to me.

I'm curious. What power do you think anybody has to do anything about it? We've talked. I've made my position very clear. But short of knocking them both out and implanting some kind of proximity-based electroshock thing I don't think it's possible to make her do anything she doesn't want to.

Parker's still a friend, right?

[yourunichase]

I'm me, thank god.

Private - Parker is always a friend :c

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Good.

I meant to ask. Ongoing madhouse aside, how have you been doing?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

A lot of the time it looks like people apologize more for stuff that happens during floods than stuff that is actually their fault.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

'Your order'. I think killing you and turning you into a zombie was a pretty effective way of handing in his two weeks' notice, sport.

Private <3.

[yourunichase]

I'm here. Everything else is fucking up in the air.

How are you with Wonderboy's dad here?

We need to go for a drink once this is all over. Actually, if it keeps going the way it has I may need a drink before this is all over.

Not too bad. With the 'superpowered freaks' crack factored in, I think I was actually more civil than he was.

[yourunichase]

If you need a drink, my door's open for you. It always is.

[mightymorbid]

Magic is not something that you simply leave.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Can't comment on that. But it's obviously not something that needs anybody to be a member of your secret club, either.

...

You doing anything tonight? Nineish?

[mightymorbid]

You are absolutely correct. That does not mean that it is so simple to change one's mind when a contract has already been made.

[requiresssacrifice]

It's easier to look responsible without actually being responsible.

Private

[yourunichase]

Nope. Come on over.

[And, later, so she does. She still feels kind of bad that she didn't speak to Parker in the wake of Paddy leaving, but she just sucks with that kind of thing - and she's not convinced by the rhetoric that it's better to just be there for someone than to have exactly the right thing to say. But maybe there's more to it than she thought, because now she feels like she dropped the ball in a pretty major way and there's no way of making up for it.

She taps on the door.]

Hey, Parker. It's me.

[Parker has cleaned up her room, dumping everything that had reminded her of Paddy into a closet, save for a shirt that was safely tucked under a pillow and a large painting of Paddy on a horse holding a helmet. He'd left it outside her door before he'd left. Without really knowing what to do with it, she'd leaned it against the couch.

She looked normal when she opened the door for Shego, and then smiled a bit before she stepped back.]

Come on in.

Re: Spam

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Hey, I come bearing gifts.

[The painting was....kind of immediately obvious as she entered the room, but she chose not to linger on it, offering a bottle of whiskey to Parker instead. She'd gone into the pub and stolen the sealed bottle with the fanciest label, winding up with something that would go for a couple hundred dollars in most stores. Not that she knew that.]

Wouldn't want to be a bad guest or anything.

[...Huh, that's not a bad idea. Bonnie looks like she's actually considering this, but she doesn't have access to that kind of tech. Damn. ANYWAY.] Then it seems like you're the only one of her so-called friends who's the least bit concerned about this. It's not healthy. I didn't raise Cissie to be one of those women who stick around in an abusive relationship.

[...I am so sorry Bonnie is so horrible.]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Do you listen to yourself speak, Des? You're both dead. Any contracts either of you entered into are null and void at this point.

[mightymorbid]

And yet here he has been. Alive.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That's kind of open to debate. The Barge is to being dead what a suspended sentence is to being in jail.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

No, as far as I can tell you raised her to be Arrowette to the cost of basically everything else.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

Still no filters, huh?

[requiresssacrifice]

No filters, no return of my other snakes, nothing. He hasn't even made any demands.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Wait, what. He took your snakes? That's -- harsh.
