BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[bearmaidenfair]

The glittery enthusiasm of the 'Fandom High' banner strung across the wall was a little unexpected, but at least it confirmed Vider was where she was supposed to be, even if no one else appeared to be here yet. That part wasn't surprising, considering how early her flight had gotten in, but she seemed to be dealing with the earliness of the hour remarkably well. It might have had something to do with the fact that she was getting used to never getting quite enough sleep any more.

One of the trainers at the Hangadrottin War College had shoved a wad of unfamiliar money into her hand this morning, 'for the journey,' like she was going to some foreign country and not just the East coast. Still, she wasn't going to turn down money so she'd taken it without complaint and used some of it to buy a tea and pastry for breakfast, and once she picked out a seat by the wall where she could prop her spear case and sword up, she settled in to eat, picking the pastry apart into little shreds before putting them in her mouth.

So far this boarding school thing didn't seem so bad, although she was reserving final judgment until she'd actually seen the school.

"That means something?" Alana asked casually. "I don't know a whole lot about what's where on Earth."

Other than that it wasn't Landfall.

"What?" Damn you, time travelers and aliens!

Alana laughed, mostly out of discomfort. "I'm from Landfall?" she tried. "I mean, I've seen Earth on star charts and stuff, but I never paid that much attention in astral geography. Kind of weird to randomly go to school here knowing nothing, I know, but ..."

She shrugged, wings fluttering with the motion. "Here I am."

"Oh." Wow, that was either a really intricate costume, or he was going crazy. Let's go with crazy! "You're an alien?"

"I guess?" Alana said, trying it on. "It's really weird to think of myself that way, though."

Raleigh nodded like he totally understood that. He did not. "You're not gonna, uh, like, attack a city or anything, right?"

Re: Wait For the Shuttle

[not_a_moonie]

"Ugh, no," Alana said, crinkling her nose. "I came here to get away from the stupid war. You gonna attack anything?"

UM, DID HE HAVE HIS AMAZING MONSTER FIGHTING ROBOT?

"No?"

"Then we're good," Alana said simply. "Hi. I'm Alana."

"Raleigh." Wow, was he ever confused about this. And still not certain it wasn't a joke.

Re: Wait For the Shuttle

"Ever been to boarding school before, Raleigh?" Alana asked, in a way that implied she had not.

"No, this is the first time I've been on this coast." This particular coast. Other coasts, yes. But not this one.
