George Parley | Gunnerkrigg Court

[Having a superhero for a dad, Parley is way used to this kind of stuff. Just because she's never seen this many super heroes in the same place before and never had access to this kind of equipment is no reason to stand there in shock, duffel bag hanging loosely in one hand at one of the myriad entrances to the bustling Omegabase.

So the fact that that is currently what Parley is doing must be for some OTHER reason then being impressed.]

Holy fishsticks.

Ow!

[Since Parley's powers awakened, she's been teleporting at random and without warning. Were you cooking dinner? Watching TV? Working out? Fighting the forces of evil? Whatever it was, now you have Parley as a guest, for she just quietly popped out of thin air nearby in a sitting position, and then collapsed onto the ground.]

Oh not again.

[high_on_daylight]

[Parley, there are many, many absolutely terrible places to end up with a power like this.

A ten-year-old girl's idea of a living room may be one of the very worst. Woodsy nature accents, lots of dolls, a very large video game collection along one wall...

And then there's the girl in the fancy dress and tights, staring at Parley and straightening from her lazy flop with a controller in her hand to standing up straight and poised... With the controller still in her hand.]

Hello.

[distorts_space]

[Eh, Parley's room isn't that different to be perfectly honest. She has more video games and less cute things.]

I swear I'll figure out how to stop that from happening eventually.

I'll see myself out.

[high_on_daylight]

Please do. I prefer not having my home invaded at random by teleporting teenagers.

[distorts_space]

[She opens the door to leave. Or at least she tries to.]

...Door's locked.

[high_on_daylight]

Oh. Guess you're trapped, then.

That isn't a very good place to be, is it?

[distorts_space]

Don't you have the key? Are you locked in your own room? IS this even your room!?

[high_on_daylight]

I may or may not have the key, and this may or may not be my room.

[Okay now she's just screwing with Parley.]

I swear to god I responded to this ages ago

[distorts_space]

Okay now you're just messin' with me.

Re: I swear to god I responded to this ages ago

[high_on_daylight]

Yes, yes I am.

The question is where the key is right now. Could be on me. Could be elsewhere in the room.

By the way, if you tear up my room trying to find it, it won't be pleasant.

[distorts_space]

What are you gonna do, tattle on me? I'll have you know I'm with the Omegafriends.

[high_on_daylight]

And that scares me, how?

Or did you not read the database entry on Evangeline Anastasia Katherine McDowell?

[... If Parley did, that'd be a bit of an alarm bell.]

[distorts_space]

Sure. Some oldie vamp that looks like...

a...

kid.

[growing sense of doom.]

[high_on_daylight]

[Evangeline just chuckles.]

Now, to be fair, I don't make it a habit to take people and turn them into my vampiric minions purposelessly. They're really quite high-maintenance for the first few hundred lunar cycles.

As long as you do not offend, you are safe here. But, of course, you'd probably rather be someplace else.

[distorts_space]

[Whatever force of nature that controls her powers, a good time to teleport her somewhere else would be....now.

Now.

.....nnnnnow!

No?

How 'bout now?]

S-so the key is hidden somewhere in here?

[high_on_daylight]

What is at the beginning of the end, the end of time, the start of eternity, the end of this rhyme?

[Hrm. The games - they're by system, then in alphabetical order. A lot of them are 80s and 90s games so the fonts are tough to read, but that much is clear...]

I actually know that one

[distorts_space]

[Why'd it have to be riddles? Parley is terrible at riddles.]

Er...well it must be pretty dang important if it's in all those things.

[grays_animosity]

[This is the most devastated gasp you have ever heard in your life. Immediately, when Val realizes someone has just materialized in her room, she dives for her bed, where a bunch of small guns are scattered on her messy sheets. She grabs the first gun she can and ducks behind the bed for cover, pointing the gun directly at the trespasser with her finger on the trigger.]

You've got five seconds to tell me who you are and what you're...

[She stops crouching and drops the gun on the bed.]

George?!

[distorts_space]

[Parley goes very very still.]

...Hi.

[grays_animosity]

[She stares at the bed full of guns. Then at Parley. Then at the guns.

And then she dives on top of them, trying to cover up as many of them as possible as she can in a pose that can only be described as "draw me like one of your French girls." Hey, it gives the best coverage of her bed.

She plasters on the widest, most innocent looking grin ever.]

Hiiiii! So--what brings you here?

[distorts_space]

Oh, you know. Uncontrollable teleportation. Getting threatened by classmates with guns.

The usual.

[grays_animosity]

[She'd be panicking about the whole gun thing, if she didn't catch the teleportation thing first.]

Tele--teleportation? As in, like, superpowers?

[distorts_space]

Super... Oh! No no no! It's someone else!

Someone else teleporting me.

[Nice...save?]

[grays_animosity]

What? Who is it? Why? Where are they?

[You may not be her BFF, but she likes you well enough, and like hell is she gonna let some superpowered chump push her around like this!]

[distorts_space]

Captain...Nefarious?

[Does any such villain exist?]
