BWI Airport, Portalocity Port, Saturday Morning

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Timing had worked in Bruce's favor this morning. After a long overnight flight from Japan, he was really early for the shuttle to Fandom. That was according to plan. This way he'd get to see how people came into the room marked "Fandom High," whether they were nervous, or excited, or annoyed at the very thought of having to go to school.

Those first impressions didn't necessarily mean anything, but Bruce felt they often gave a good insight into how his new classmates would react in a stressful situation. You never knew when that kind of thing might come in handy.

"So what exactly were you studying when you blew up the bathroom?" Jacob asked, curious now.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

"Ever heard of Georg Joachim Rheticus?"

"Um... I'm pretty sure I haven't," he said. "The most science I know involves engines."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

"He pretty much predates internal combustion. He was a sixteenth century mathematician. Who could teleport."

Look, if she was going to say stuff like that, then he was going to stare at her.

"You just said teleport, didn't you?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"Yep. Well, that's the story, anyway. No one's been able to successfully duplicate it, yet."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

Jacob actually looked relieved. What with Roy talking about a guy from his future or past or whatever, he was allowed to. "And you were trying to duplicate it?" he realized.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"And I'm going to succeed."

He stared at her. "You sound sure about it," he remarked. Teleporting sounded like something out of a scifi movie or Galaxy Quest to him.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"I am. I'm almost there, too."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "Do I get a demonstration if you figure it out?" Not that he was expecting it to happen any time soon.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"Sure." Claudia smiled. "I'll take ya some place classy."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Classy, huh?" Jacob chuckled. "Does that mean I'm going to have to dress up?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"I'm sure they'll let you borrow a tie."

"Handy, I didn't really pack for formal occasions," he admitted. He packed pretty light really, not needing sweaters or the like made it a bit easier.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"See, now that was just silly of you. You never know when you might need a good formal outfit."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"I figure they've got shops on the island in case of emergency," Jacob said. "It's easier than having to drag a whole wardrobe with. They won't have uniforms, will they?"

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"Hell if I know. All I got was a small pamphlet and the note that this place 'could be good for me'."

"That sounds a lot like the speech I got from my dad," Jacob made a face.

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"See, people gotta at least learn to respect teenagers enough to, like, give us more information when they make life changing decisions for us."

In his father's defence, there had been some more explanation, but Jacob didn't much feel like getting into it.

"It would have been nice to get a say," Jacob agreed wryly, still annoyed at Sam for using the alpha. "Especially with exams so close. Stupid time to change schools."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

"I'm assuming it's a new semester at this place. They probably wouldn't want a buncha new kids showing up right before exams."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"A new semester in May?" Jacob asked. "It does make sense. I thought I'd be the only one, but there's a lot of students here."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[notmyownage]

Claudia blinked at him for a moment.

". . . Yeah, it's January."

Re: Waiting for the Shuttle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob stared back at her. "April," he argued.
