Laura's Room, 20 December
Dec. 20th, 2009 07:46 pmIt's actually a little terrifying, in Meg's opinion, how quickly Parker Lee gets things done.
One minute, they're standing down in the bar, having all just run into each other for the first time in ages.
The next, they're at the door to Laura's fairly utilitarian room in Milliways, because Parker has decided this calls for an impromptu Christmas party.
And ten minutes later, Parker has decorated that room almost past the point of recognition. She's thrown a bright red cloth over the crates against the back wall and laid out an array of Christmas cookies, a tray of sandwiches, funnel cakes ("funnel cake is totally festive," Parker tells them), pitchers of egg nog and some kind of green punch. She's got Christmas music playing on a CD player, she's spread cushions on the floor for them to sit on, and she's festooned the whole room with red and green tinsel-like garland and Christmas lights.
Given another twenty minutes, Meg is pretty sure Parker could have set up a tree, built a fireplace for marshmallow toasting, and possibly ordered up just the right amount of snow to have falling past the windows.
Actually, for all Meg knows, Parker may yet do all that.
And who knows what else.
