Parker nodded with his own smile after Søren's crack about getting business cards for a term Parker now planned on using a lot, agreeing to host as planned. "You all remember our place is rather messy, so I guess as long as you're alright with that, then onto our place it is." Seeing it appeared Petra had walked to the studio today, Parker figured it only natural that she would end up riding with he and Søren, so he opened the sliding door to the back of the van on his side as he rounded to hop in the driver's seat. After nodding to Matt's question, he hopped in took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes, preparing himself to drive. He hadn't considered the fact that he could be responsible for both his friend's lives before taking roxies during practice, but he guessed he deserved this and hoped it would help him keep his addiction better managed.

[Incoming: long-ass description of a shitty apartment. Feel free to skip to the end.]
After they pulled into the parking lot to High Hills Living Spaces, Parker didn't even notice the pizza delivery vehicle rounding the corner, so when he called out and told the rest of them to head inside Parker was left wondering if Matt just didn't enjoy their company as much as they all did. He hoped he was reading too much into it as they climbed the outdoor stairway to the top row of apartments and entered room number 4E, home sweet home. The apartment on the outside looked worse than it did on the inside, but the inside wasn't a whole lot better. On the outside, the color was a fading gray color sprouting from what was once evidently an eggshell white, and one of the two street lamps that lit up the small parking lot had been out since the day Parker had moved in. On the inside, however, Parker made sure that the walls stayed in better shape, and the white color remained more intact. Most portions of their walls remained empty unless Søren had decorated it; Parker only had a picture of his deceased younger sister and a picture of his mother before the accident had given her brain damage. The carpet was the generic gray and purple clash of colors that had came with the room, plus a few food stains that had been added since their arrival. Although Parker had a bit more money than it would seem, he always tried to live under budget so the money would be there if he ever fell short of supporting himself -- or his best friend and roommate, who had somehow talked a talker into paying only 35% of the rent. Parker always wondered to himself how he ended up paying the larger portion without argument, but he guessed it was just due to the fact that he never wanted to live alone, and would do whatever he could to ensure that he didn't have to. Besides, Søren would cough up the extra money if ever prompted... Parker assumed.

The door to the apartment always gave in too easily causing it to slam against the wall when most people entered, and this time was no different. Parker eyed around the room that was the living room until the carpet turned to tile where there was a small kitchen and felt a little embarrassed by the disorganization, but it was nothing worse than some clothes strung about. Parker slipped out of his shoes and immediately swept the remote up off the coffee table that was surrounded by a pair of unmatched chairs and a two-seated sofa, turning the TV on to his favorite comedy channel before dropping the remote onto the chair he most often sat in as he passed it on his way to the kitchen. There was a small hallway to his right where the living room ended, and at the end of it were two bedrooms and a bathroom with a slightly cracked mirror to set the mood with the rest of the home. Parker opened the fridge and noticed how bare it was looking, then was suddenly even more thankful that Matt had decided to buy them all pizza. He then remembered Matt had also ordered drinks, so he quickly grabbed four mismatched plastic cups and put some ice in each. "Sorry about the... well... place as a whole, I guess," he called over his shoulder to Petra and Matt if he had entered, "but it has it's perks... like being as cheap as it looks, for instance," he finished the thought as he placed the cups out on the coffee table in the living room.
