Who| Parker and YOU
What| Parker crawling around in the vents and working out
Where| Around Legion World
When| post-missions
Warnings/Notes| N/A
Half the time people assume Parker is crawling around in the ventilation system, she's actually working out. It isn't that she doesn't spend a lot of time in the vents, just that it takes a lot of time and effort to stay in shape for the things she needs to be able to do for her job, and that on top of the training she's getting for being a super hero. A lot of it is pure body-weight training, which she tends to take care of in places where people won't stumble across her. When she's working out, she doesn't generally want to be interrupted by people asking how she got that strong or that flexible. Today is a training day that requires more equipment, so anyone who pokes their head into the Sim Room will find it full of moving laser grids and a blond in dark clothes ducking, spinning, bending, and rolling her way through them like someone dancing between raindrops in a storm.
Which isn't to say that Parker doesn't spend a lot of time in the vents. Legion World is a space station the size of a moon, and unlike a moon its livable area is not limited to its surface. Someone with a flight ring and a good mental map of the vents can travel between point A and point B with a great deal more efficiency than someone limiting themselves to approved areas and the lifts.
Parker isn't patrolling them, per se, but now that people have decided to curry favor by leaving things in the vents for her, she does tend to stop by the places that are easier for people who don't travel the vents to get to. Plus, sometimes she sees people doing things that look interesting from the vents, and it's a good way to keep people on their toes. They're super heroes now, they need to start remembering to keep an eye on all the ways people might enter a room. Especially everyone who's joined the Espionage Squad.

This afternoon, upon setting his offering at the vent, he remains to play a little song for the woman in the vents, who may or may not appreciate music. He has no way of knowing yet.
no subject
"That's pretty," she says. "Does it have a name?"
no subject
It never fails to amaze him how far from each other even humans come from in this place.
"Do you like gyoza?" he asks, looking up into the open vent cover with a smile.
no subject
She remembers Kubo's early questions. She also remembers what it's like to be a small, hungry child.
no subject
The refusal is pure politeness. Kubo did eat, recently, but the gyoza still smell delicious, and as a 14 year old boy, he can always eat. But he brought them as a gift, and it's impolite to eat a gift you've brought for someone else.
"Would you like some music while you eat, though? Maybe I know your favorite song," he suggests, fingers dancing on the strings.
no subject
"I don't think I have a favorite song," she says. "And I'd feel weird eating in front of you without sharing."
Food-that-is-a-gift is a thing she does with people. Food-as-fuel is one thing, but gift-food is a thing people do because they want to spend time with someone, and Kubo doesn't seem to be in any hurry to leave.
no subject
He considers her perspective, and frankly, it isn't hard to make him come around to a polite position where he can also eat delicious fried foods.
"I wouldn't want you to feel weird," he says, taking a dumpling, but waiting for her to eat one first before actually stuffing his face.
