BWI - Portalocity Lounge [Friday Morning]

Chloe got off her flight from New York and followed the signs to the lounge. She dumped the duffle bag of clothes that Andrew had hastily purchased on the floor and slumped into one of the uncomfortable airport chairs.

She was still against this plan but she realized on the flight that sulking wouldn't make it any better so she was going to put on a brave face and make the most of it.

[open for all new teachers & students!]

Yeah, see? Elle was geographically challenged unless one was referring to a certain line of clothing and where it came from. Not that she would understand that answer even if she wasn't. Thus her reply was: "So it's like... cold there?"

"Only in the winter," Yuffie said with a roll of her eyes. "Otherwise it's as pleasant as the rest of Gaia."

"I thought you were from Wutai?" she asked, slightly confused.

Yuffie smiled that sweet smile again. A smile that usually meant she was up to something. "Gaia is the name of the world that I'm from."

She was pretty sure by now that Elle hadn't read the pamplet.

It was a sweet smile and Elle couldn't help but smile sweetly back. And then her smile kind of froze.

...

Oh, Elle read the pamphlet, she couldn't wait to meet the exchange students!

"I'm sorry. I just hallucinated. Did you say world?"

Yuffie grinned and nodded. "Yes. I came through a portal to get here." She felt proud of herself for not commenting on the hallucinating.

Elle chuckled. "You're having fun with me, aren't you? It's okay, I don't mind. I love a good joke myself."

"I'm not joking. I'm from a planet called Gaia and I was brought here through a portal." While trussed up in a burlap sack because she had been adamantly against being brought here.

Maybe the girl was hallucinating? That had to be it.

"Why did you come here, to our world then?" Okay, that was a totally creepy question.

Yuffie was rather enjoying this, breaking someone's brain.

"Because my father wants me to be prepared for running our territory, so he sent me here thinking I would be less distracted from learning."

Ooops, she tore the cloth on the blade there. It is rather sharp.

Omigod. She was a heathen? A tribal heathen from some sort of village that maybe brainwashed her? Telling her she was from another world and omigod that would explain those guards. Woudln't it? Elle was wondering if she should feel sorry for her and try to enlighten her as to--

"Omigod that's like... a sharp thing you have there."

Elle wisely took a step back.

Yuffie looked at her shuriken and then looked up at Elle. "Of course it is. If it wasn't, I couldn't kill things for supplies." Or, you know, Shinra soldiers.

"...things?"

Elle was sure that Fandom had those who dealt with troubled teens. The poor girl had to be on drugs. Or glue.

And there was weapons security, surely. Right? That thing looked positively evil.

"Yes, things." Yuffie was trying very hard not to laugh. "Like, adamantaimai, bat eyes, the occasional thunderbird. Sometimes a puppy or kitten if it gets in the way. Oh, and sometimes a Shinra soldier."

Elle's intake of air had to be heard a mile away.

"A puppy!" She held Bruiser closer. "A kitten! What are you? Some sort of barbarian witch?" The bat eyes clued her in.
