BWI Airport, Portalocity Port, Saturday Morning

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.

Before the driver arrives!

Once the driver pings in!

Where I get to use She-Ra icons!

Priestly's parents had been kind enough not to send him over on the red-eye and get him a hotel room for the night so he'd be nice and "fresh" to face his first day at the boarding school they were hoping would "straighten him out".

He was just glad his mom hadn't insisted on packing for him, or coming with him to Maryland. She'd never have let him show up for his ride to the school sporting a blue mohawk, a kilt, and a black t-shirt reading "veggieburger = veggiemurder".

He wanted to make a good first impression.

He looked at the sign, then down at the paper his dad had given him with his travel itinerary and a few short words on his new school.

"Fandom High." He sighed, crumpled the paper, and looked around. "Great."

Tricia Helfer.

So, so, SO VERY AMUSED. Even if I really ought to be saying that from Anders's account.

Adora looked at the boy and wondered what the strange words on his shirt meant.

"Yes! I have heard the school is great. I am Adora, you are also a new student?"

Lee: I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD KNOW YOU OR SOMETHING.

Claudia was soooo excited to be traveling! She'd taken the shuttle out of Laguardia and had decided to use the move as inspiration for her wardrobe today: a moving man's red jumpsuit with "Harvey" written on the pocket, black Chuck Taylors, and a railroad conductor's hat over her long black hair, which she'd chosen to let hang loose today. The jumpsuit was accessorized with a belt made out of duct tape, a paper maiché snake bracelet from junior high that had held up remarkably well, and dangly metallic earrings that had set off the detector. On anyone else, the outfit would have been a cry for help. On Claudia, it looked great.

She dragged the three bags of luggage she'd brought with her--the rest was being shipped--and gave the sign a long look before sitting down. "I think I'm in the right place."

"Unfortunately." Priestly offered her a grin that belied his words. "I'm Priestly. And I haven't heard a damned thing about this school, except for the name."

Sam: YOU THINK THAT'S WEIRD, I HAVE THIS VAGUE FEELING I SHOULD BE RELATED TO HER. o.O

Priestly turned and let out a low whistle. "Dude," he said. "I hope you are. I love the jumpsuit."

[ooc: see above ping for Priestly's ensemble, if you like.]

"I love the kilt," Claudia said, grinning impishly. "And the hair! I gave myself blue streaks last month for our school's 'I Heart The 80s' dance. I was a Smurf." She held out her hand. "I'm Claudia Kishi."

Emmett was standing in the shadows, watching everyone else as they gathered. Rap was blasting from his ipod but he only had one ear bud in so he could hear what everyone was saying. He was mostly covered (just in case it got really sunny), wearing a hoodie and gloves.

He was also wearing one of his favorite hats (http://www.meshhat.com/moutrhatmeha.html). Sideways, of course. Esme would probably kill him if she knew he was wearing it, but what mom didn't know didn't hurt her.

Smurf-girl. Sweet! Priestly took her hand and went for a ridiculous, gentlemanly kiss on her knuckles, if she let him. And didn't, you know, look like she was going to punch him in the face when he did. "Priestly. I thought blue would be a good first day look."

"Were you not worried about the school suiting your needs?" Adora wondered, looking very concerned about Priestly.

"Uh." Priestly frowned a little at the way this girl spoke, then shrugged. "More like my parents decided the school fit their needs for me. Or something."

For all he knew, his dad had stuck a bunch of pamphlets for schools to the wall and threw darts at them.

Dressed in simple tight pants and shirt, Adora had never seen anyone wearing such complicated clothes. But she smiled brightly at the newly arrived friend. "I am Adora, are you looking for the Fandom shuttle as well?"

Claudia giggled and let him kiss her hand. "Because you're so sad to be coming here?" she guessed.

Because if he was, that would be soooo deep.

Adora was intent on meeting all the new friends Fandom had to offer and walked over to the impressively large man with no fear. "Hello there, friend. I am Adora. Are you also attending the Fandom school?"

"I am," Claudia said, returning the smile. "Claudia Kishi. Nice to meet you."

"'Cause it matches the kilt," Priestly said. "But that works, too."

[ooc: *dies*]

Claudia giggled again. "So why're you coming to the new school?"

It took Claudia a moment to understand the hat, but when she did, she cracked up. "Nice hat."

Emmett had to look behind him for a second to make sure the chick was actually talking to him. He wasn't really used to people speaking to him first.

"Uh, yeah, I am. I'm Emmett," he said, giving her a little wave. He was under strict orders not to touch anybody unless he had to. "Adora, cool name. Is that Italian?"

He had no idea what he was talking about.

"My parents aren't such big fans of the kilt and the hair." He tilted his head. "You?"
