Who: Parker and Open
Where: Eventually a Burger King in Lawrence
What: A need for French fries equals an attempt at being around people
When: Early Saturday night



Parker had gotten a nasty craving for French fries and discovered there was not to be found within the manor. "Looks like I'm going out." happy she had actually gotten dressed and looked a little more like her old self. So after leaving a note for Damien, Ed and Sidney (and grabbing her pepper spray as a just in case) she was out the door and heading for a Burger King that was not far from the manor. But as she walked the few miles she was still waging war within her own soul. This venture for fries had been one of her few solo trips beyond the manor in what felt like ages (in spite of having been out for a few events and a couple of birthday parties, but she had been among people). The time in the cage had damaged her on many levels and pouring her emotions out to Damien had been one of the first times she had talked about the whole experience.

As Parker passed a high rooftop she realized she had still had not gone onto any rooftops beyond the manor out of pure fear. Mostly since part of her was sure someone would push her off at the first free shot. "Soon, just not today." since there was no high buildings or even a high enough rooftop in sight. But she also made another decision abet a tiny one, she was going to have her fries in public and not eat them back at the manor. "Baby steps as Nate would remind me." she whispered, missing the crew even more since the seal kept taking the few that understood what she had become. But she eventually made it inside the Burger King and bought the desired fries along with a soda. She decided to eat outside since the weather was decent and see what the night had in store.
