BWI Portalocity Lounge [Sunday morning]

While Ramona had seen a lot of things, and traveling by portal hadn't really freaked her out or anything, she still wasn't really feeling great about being here. Maybe making an impulse decision to go to Maryland (of all places) hadn't been her best move.

In any case, though, she was here now, and there wasn't really a reason for her to turn back without giving it at least a day or so. So she lounged against the wall under the sign for Fandom High in the lounge, her bags by her feet as she waited for the shuttle.

"I was thinking of the kind that picks up broadcasts," Sov replied.

"Just for that? Not to communicate? Long-range, short-range," Tony babbled. "I can make any of them!"

"I like listening to the broadcasts," Sov replied, a little defensively.

[and I have to go for a while]

"Oh." Hey, science was awesome. "That's cool too," he added quickly. "I think you can buy something like that probably, though."

[[SP for great justice?]]

"I brought my own," Sov replied, the proud they felt of owning one showing. "But I don't know how to build one. Is it hard?"

Tony had to pause for a moment. "Not for me. How much do you know about mechanics?"

Nothing. "Not much."

That would make things difficult. "With instruction, it would probably take a couple weeks if built from scratch then." That's assuming he was starting from zero knowledge, of course. He could always hope for more!

"Time wouldn't be a problem, I'm patient." That was true, at least patient for being a fifteen year old. "But I have no one to instruct me." Because asking directly wouldn't do.

"I could show you when we're at school," Tony offered. Because science was awesome and needed to be shared with all. "I probably have most of the parts."

And Sov couldn't hide their enthusiasm. "That would be... I'd like that."

Oh, this could only end in dorky glee. "Have you ever used a soldering iron? I think--" He grabbed one of his bags, opening it up to dig in. "--I should have one in here."

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] child-of-rer.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
"I haven't," Sov reply, peeking into the bag.

And yes, dorky glee would certainly be the result.

"It's the main tool you're going to need," Tony replied, pulling one out to hand over to Sov.

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] child-of-rer.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Looking at the tool, Sov nodded. "Connecting parts with melted metal, right?"

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Tony nodded and smiled at that. "There are other tools that can melt metal too, but this one is small enough not to damage anything delicate. You can have this one if you want."

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] child-of-rer.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Surprised, Sov looked at Tony. "Are you sure?"

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I have a bunch," Tony said, waving his hand dismissively. "And then you can practice using it before we meet up."

Re: Wait for the shuttle!

[identity profile] child-of-rer.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you." Sov smiled, and decided that Tony would probably become a good friend.

"What classes are you taking?" You know, just in case they had any classes together and Tony could cling to someone when his brain dribbled out his ears.

"Nation Building and the Origin of Government and Pop Culture 101," Sov replied. "You?" Yes, it would be great if they were in the same class.

[night!]

"Chemistry and Home Economics here." A beat. "They actually have a class for pop culture?"

"They do," Sov replied. "I thought that might be fun. I really like to listen to the radio broadcasts at home."
