BWI Airport, Portalocity Port, Saturday Morning

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Spirit's ride to the island had been settled and Adora was trying very hard not to be nervous while she waited for the Fandom transport to arrive. Looking out the airport window, Adora realized she'd never seen so many fleets of vehicles in all her life that weren't involved in some sort of insurrection, and found herself desperately hoping her mother was right about this Earth place being safe from the Horde.

Just the thought of her family calmed Adora and she instinctively reached to touch the Sword of Protection where it was hidden by her hair and clothing, feeling that no matter where she was, she always had a way to contact the people she loved.

Now if only she knew for sure that this room marked "Fandom High" was really where she needed to be. Adora paced the large space as she waited, thinking she couldn't possibly be the only new student journeying to campus in this manner.

Adora's dress was much less obviously from another planet as some of the others she'd encountered, so she gravitated toward the girl who seemed much like her with a smile. "I hope the island isn't too far away," she remarked, thinking more of Spirit than herself.

"Me too," Sookie agreed wearily. "It's been an awful long day. I've never been this far from home before." Nor did she usually have to expend so much effort to keep thoughts out of her head, but that was secondary.

"Oh!" Perhaps she was not of this Earth either. "May I ask where your home is?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

"Bon Temps, Louisiana," she said, gesturing vaguely. Like that would help. "Yours?"

"Etheria," Adora said, looking vaguely wistful. "I'm so sorry, I never introduced myself! My name is Adora, what's yours?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

"Sookie," she said, blinking at that. "It's real nice to meet you, Adora. That's a pretty name. Where's Etheria?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

Adora was still pleased that her name could have some Earth origins in this Italian that Emmett told her about. "Sookie, that's very unusual, but then I wouldn't expect to know what's usual here." She should be more aware of things she might say that could insult others.

"Etheria is a planet mostly controlled by the Horde, if you've heard of them."

"Oh. Um, no, 'fraid I haven't." Well, there you go. This girl was crazy. Sookie mentally chided herself for being so judgmental, and lowered her shields just enough to see if she could pick anything up from Adora.

"Then you're very lucky." There was no place in Adora's memory where she hadn't been under the thumb of the Horde. That was what happened when you were kidnapped at birth and raised by evil. "My mother told me Earth was safe, but you can never be too sure."

Well, at the very east, it seemed like Adora sincerely believed the insanity she was saying. It was kinda like talking to Terry Bellefleur.

"Earth's real safe. Your mama was right. I mean, for the most part. We got our unkindnesses here just like any other place," Sookie said as reassuringly as she knew how.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"That's very reassuring," Adora replied, her nervous thoughts returning to Spirit. "What sort of unkindnesses?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, normal stuff," she said carefully. "I mean, not where I'm from -- Bon Temps is real safe -- but people aren't always nice to one another. But so far everyone I've met here today is real sweet."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"They really are," Adora nodded. "I am so pleased to have met so many new friends today."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Sookie said carefully, though she wouldn't necessarily call any of these people her friends just yet. She poked a little more into the other girl's head and came across something that surprised her into saying something aloud. "You have a horse?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"I do!" Adora grinned. "His name is Spirit. Did you bring your horse to Fandom as well?" Wait a minute. Had she said anything about Spirit to anyone?

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I don't have a horse," she said regretfully. "Wish I did. Where's Spirit now?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Safe, I hope," Adora said, still feeling a little anxious about his transport to the island. "He went ahead to the island on some sort of truck for large animals. You should meet him!"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

"I'm sure I will," she assured her. If Sookie had known her better, she would have given Adora a hug to calm her anxiousness. As it was, she impulsively reached out to touch her shoulder. "He'll be just fine, don't you worry."
