BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

[icallmyselfkyle.livejournal.com]

Rather than fly from Philadelphia to Baltimore, Eric's parents had given him a lift. They had offered to drive him directly to the school, but he told them he would rather meet the group at the airport and take the shuttle. That way he'd get an early glimpse at all the hot girls he was sure would be going to his new school.

So now he was relaxing in the lounge, drinking a soda and waiting. It wasn't going to college, but it would do.

"Maybe I can be a superhero now," Eric said. "That would be way cooler than going to college."

//I've got my doubts about that one,// Jonothon replied, shaking his head again. //The tight leather uniforms 're probably a draw, but can yer imagine bein' shot at by superpowered villains day in and out?//

Jono could. That was probably one of the less appealing parts of the job, actually.

"Mmmm, girls in tight leather uniforms," Eric said. "I could dig that."

Apparently he had selective listening even telepathically.

... Apparently.

//Now I've half a mind to ask what yer would be doin' as a superhero, now that we know yer can read the mind of one stranger while waitin' for the bus.//

Only half a mind. If he really, really wanted to know, he probably would have found himself questioning his own sanity.

"You only have half a brain?"

No, Eric, that would be you.

//That's not what I said.//

This wasn't just an American thing, was it? This boy was actually, really that slow? How did he make it to the terminal without a stewardess holding his hand?

"Sorry, dude, maybe this mind-reading thing isn't super accurate," Eric said.

Being really cute probably had something to do with his continued survival.

//Well, won't that put a damper on yer plans to be a superhero.//

Jono was almost sad about that. Or, at least, he would have been if this twonk was actually able to read minds in the first place. There were just moments when you had to stop and visualize the dumb ones making absolute arses of themselves in capes and bright spandex.

"Yeah, I guess I'll have to practice more," Eric said.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[furnaceface]

//Best of luck with that, Sunshine,// Jono mused, rolling his eyes again for good measure. //I hear it works better if yer make a point to look absolutely off yer trolley while yer practising, too.//

Hey, he might as well have fun with the guy.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

"My name is Eric," he said. "And I don't think there are any trolleys around here."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[furnaceface]

//I'm Jonothon. And no, there probably aren't.// Yanks. This particular Yank. Just shake your head, Jono. Shake it and resist the urge to pat him on the head.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

Eric did tend to inspire people to want to pat him on the head.

"Nice to meet you, Jonothon."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[furnaceface]

//Oh, no, the pleasure's all mine, mate.// Truly. //So, yer goin' to Fandom High, then?//

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

"Yup! I'm repeating my senior year," Eric explained.

Which really should explain a lot.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[furnaceface]

//Yer made it to senior the first time?//

Oh, it explained so much.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[icallmyselfkyle.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but I didn't get into college, so I'm doing it again," Eric said.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle!

[furnaceface]

//Best of luck with that, mate,// Jono replied, dryly. //Yer might be needin' it.//
