BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

Emma had flown with Angelica from Logan Airport in Boston to Baltimore so she wouldn't have to make the entire trip alone, and Angelica was grateful for that. But after a hug goodbye when the time came for Emma's flight back to Massachusetts, Angelica was alone in the lounge, waiting for the bus to Fandom High. She buried her face in a book and tried not to be too nervous about changing schools, counting out the positives. She might make new friends. Empath and Roulette wouldn't be there. She might accidentally fry someone with her microwave powers.

Oooookay, that last one wasn't too positive.

[Up early for SP! Please wait for OCD! The Ginger Express is now in service.]

"All aboard, yo!"

Reno was having one of those, 'Oh shit, they're seriously letting me do this?' moments. Again. There he was, decked out in his finest Turks dark suit, waiting for students to board the bus. With his feet up on the dash. Somehow making it look good.

They gave Reno the keys, kids.

Yeah, even he wasn't sure how that happened.

'All aboard, yo'?

Mercy shook her head, then grabbed her bags and started up onto the bus. She nodded politely. "Hey."

Reno gave the girl a little nod and a crooked sort of grin. The sort that made most people back in Edge back away slowly.

Welcome to the bus, Mercy!

"Hey there, kiddo," Reno greeted. "Welcome to the best damn bus ride you're ever gonna take, yo." Because it was likely to mostly occur on two wheels. Prepare to leave finger-dents in the seat. "You been on one of these things before?"

Mercy'd been raised with werewolves, so she wasn't phazed in the slightest. And even if you had been, she wouldn't have let him see. Dealing with werewolves really drilled the whole 'never let 'em see you sweat' instinct into you.

She nodded. "Not often, but once or twice when my mom came to visit. And not in a while."

"Oh, yeah? So you ain't from too far off, then. I mean, relatively speakin', here."

She knew what a bus was. Reno was going to take that as a good sign.

"Lookin' forward to attendin' our quaint little school on our island in the middle of nowhere?"

It had Vikings this week! What wasn't there to look forward to?

"You're the bus driver?" Sam didn't mean to sound so shocked, but, well, bus drivers in Seattle might say "yo", but they sure didn't look or dress like Reno.

"Nah, I'm just the guy who stole the bus keys from Skywalker," Reno quipped, smirking at the girl. "I'm way too overqualified to be a bus driver, yo."

And better dressed.

And far more liable to drive the bus off the Causeway.

"Really?" Sam smiled at that. "Suddenly this whole private school thing looks a little better."
raspberryturk: (Raspberry!)

[personal profile] raspberryturk 2011-05-06 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just wait 'till you see the course calendar," Reno replied with a chuckle. "Trust me, kiddo, this ain't like any private school you ever heard of."

... Well, in all his years on Fandom Island, he had yet to meet anyone who thought the place was normal, at least.

"You want me to take over at any point, just let me know," Summer offered, her tone revealing the fact that she was only teasing.

"Naaah, I think I got it handled," Reno replied, shooting Summer his most winning grin.

It wasn't, very.

"The kids so far ain't causin' no trouble, and it ain't like I never drove nothin' before."

"I'm sure you'll get us there with no trouble," Summer nodded, her smile echoing his.

"I doubt they'll cause any problems but just to be safe, I'll keep an eye on them." She highly doubted anything would go down on the way back to Fandom. Then again, better safe than sorry.

"Yeah, lead 'em in a few rounds of 'wheels on the bus' or whatever," laughed Reno. "Maybe explain what a bus is, first, so they don't think we're askin' 'em to ride around inside a dragon, or whatever."

... Which was always fun to explain, Reno thought.

Butters took a look at this guy, a careful, narrow-eyed, scrutinizing look before he carefully ventured, with a note of disappointment and certain doom in his voice, "Aww, are you gonna kill us?"
raspberryturk: (Mmmhmm)

Re: Trip to Fandom! [5/7/11]

[personal profile] raspberryturk 2011-05-07 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah, they ain't payin' me enough to do that," Reno replied, about as reassuringly as was Reno-ly possible. "I'm just here to drive you to school, Slick. But I ain't makin' any promises about stayin' on the road on the way there, yo."

It was going to be a bumpy ride.

Enjoy that, Butters.

Well, that was kind of par for the course, really. So long as they didn't get stuck somewhere with a monster trying to pick them off one by one while they sat around reminiscing.

"Oh-h, all right, then," said Butters, letting a few people move past him onto the bus before he muttered to a few of them, "Watch it, fellas. I'm pretty sure this guy wants to kill us."

Surreal looked at Reno, then at the shuttle, and back to Reno. "What kind of Darkness-forsaken coach is that?"


[still at work, SP?]
raspberryturk: (Reno knows he's hot.)

"The gasoline-belchin' self-propelled kind," Reno replied, clearly not bothered by the question, or by the way it was delivered. He'd had a TA that spoke like that. No shock to the system, anymore. "We call it a bus, yo. Fuel it takes is worth its weight in... what's worth a lot around here? Gold? Somethin' like that. An' it shits out worse than a whole friggin' flock of chocobo. But it gets from point A to point B, when it's gotta."

There was a pause, and then he felt compelled to add, "An' if you're sittin' in the back, your ass flies about three feet outta the seat whenever we hit a bump goin' real fast, yo."

[SP rocks!]

"Don't sit in the back. Sure." Look, it was the only part of that she'd understood.

"This is the bus for Fandom High, right?" Alex double-checked before climbing aboard.
raspberryturk: (Mmmhmm)

Re: Trip to Fandom! [5/7/11]

[personal profile] raspberryturk 2011-05-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"That'd be the one," Reno agreed, nodding a greeting to the kid as he boarded the bus. "Unless somethin' manages to go horribly wrong between here an' there. But usually that kinda thing at least waits until after the picnic, yo."

Fandom was nice like that.

"So don't crash the bus and we'll be okay," Alex joked. Then he sobered and said, "Please don't crash the bus."

Angelica slung her carry-on bag over her shoulder and climbed the steps on to the bus, scanning the aisle for an empty seat. "How long is the trip to Fandom?" she asked as she boarded.
raspberryturk: (Crooked grin)

Re: Trip to Fandom! [5/7/11]

[personal profile] raspberryturk 2011-05-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Ain't long at all," Reno replied, grinning a bit. "I managed to find a way to cut a bit of travel time offa the journey, so nobody needs to worry about their asses fallin' asleep in the seats, yo."

Reno's idea of 'a way to cut travel time' was to stomp down on the gas pedal so hard that his foot nearly went through the floor with it.

Brace yourself for this trip, Angelica.

Angelica's teachers at the Academy tended to be a lot more formal with the students (with the exception of when Emma was running around in nothing but a corset and a cape, which Angelica just chose to pretend not to see), so she was taken aback by Reno's tone.

"Um, okay, thank you," she said. "Do you work for the school? Or are you just the driver?"
