BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

There was a crackle of energy before reality split and portal opened up into the Portalocity Lounge. A few seconds later a figure popped through the portal wearing what appeared to be an environmental suit attached to an air supply hose going back into the portal. He then pulled out a tablet device and took some readings before stripping off the environmental suit revealing the teenager known as Barry Ween.

"Okay, Jeremy. I'm here and the atmosphere is breathable. Send the rest of my shit through," Barry said into his comm headset. "No. Just push it into the portal and pull back the suit. Jesus Christ! How fucking hard is it to push it through numb-nuts? Just fucking push it!"

Three suitcases and a large crate appeared through the portal. "About fucking time. Okay, now press the button to close the portal. Which one? The big fucking button that has a label on it that says 'PRESS THIS FUCKING BUTTON AND NOTHING ELSE.' Are you fucking kidding me? No. No. No! Just fucking forget it! Don't touch anything I'll shut it down remotely."

A couple of taps on his pad and the portal disappeared with a "plip." "All right it's done. Don't touch any of my fucking stuff while I'm gone, Jeremy. You hear me? All right. I'll check in with you later."

Barry looked up at the glittery sign bearing the name 'Fandom High' and grunted before going back to his tablet and taking further readings; muttering to himself occasionally when he found something of interest.

[Woo! Newbie Shuttle!]

Wait for the Shuttle

And of course meet your fellow newbies...

Kate was no newbie. She'd already done that bit almost five years ago. (Holy shit, had it been that long ago? Seriously?) So, now she was the 20-year-old looking curiously around at others around, wondering whether she should warn them about what lay ahead for them on the other side of their impending shuttle ride.

Probably not, though. But at least she was smiling a bit and trying to look teacherly and approachable.

Barry looked up from his tablet briefly to see who just walked in and nodded in greeting before turning his attention back to his tablet.

"So you're going to Fandom?" Barry asked not looking up from his tablet. "I'm Barry. Senior. Transfer. You?"

Four was completely overwhelmed by the amount of noise in the airport (and the airplanes, to be completely honest), but none of that was showing on his face. He'd learned over the last few months how to conquer his fears and he wasn't about to look vulnerable in front of strangers.

He walked under the sign, slung down his knapsack and nodded gravely at the people there already.

Barry looked up and nodded briefly at the new guy in return before looking back at his tablet.

"Sup?"

Seemed like a guy-greeting-thing to say.

Kaylin nodded back at him. He held himself like a fighter or warrior, which sort of instinctively both made her feel safer and more wary of him at the same time.

What? She never claimed to be particularly rational about this sort of thing. "Guess your going to this place too, huh?"

One minute, Rapunzel was running through the forest and trying to look up through the branches to see if she could navigate her way to the lights by the sun. (So far, little to no success.) The next, there'd been a big...wavy thing, and she'd debated with herself a good long time about whether to walk through it.

It was probably obvious which option she'd chosen. She was holding all her hair to her chest, Pascal on her shoulder when she arrived, but as she took in her surroundings, she carefully dropped her hair to let it pool at her feet.

"Where am I?" she asked aloud, mostly to herself.

"Baltimore Washington International Airport," Barry said not looking up from his tablet. "Specifically the portalocity lounge for Fandomhigh. You going there?"

At the last part he looked up and blinked.

"Okay, that's some serious hair."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[dauntless-four.livejournal.com]

Four glanced over at her and blinked at the hair. Even Amity weren't quite as exuberant with their hair as that (and he was understanding the Abnegation rules about cutting the stuff regularly now). "That's a lot of hair."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[notamascot]

Kaylin's eyes were huge. "Is all of that your hair?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[notamascot]

When Kaylin was done throwing up her lunch in what seemed to her to be a conveniently located growth of plants, she straightened herself up and looked around to see where in the world she'd landed herself this time.

She'd never seen anything ike it. There were lights and sounds and... stuff. And none of them felt at all like magic - ie: they didn't bother her at all.

She saw the sign marked Fandom High and made her way towards it, staring at all the strange looking - and smelly carriages.

Barry took one look at Kaylin and wondered if he'd have to explain airplanes again.

"Fandom High?" he asked in a greeting fashion.

Kira was trying to think positively as she dragged her suitcase behind her, looking for somewhere to sit down. Sure, she felt like she was being shipped away for the summer, and it wasn't even technically summer yet, but the people on the school's brochure had looked nice enough, and statistically speaking, there had to be a few nice people around, right?

She was just going to keep that hope up while wishing she'd worn more comfortable shoes. At least it looked like she was in the right spot now.

"You look almost as happy as I feel," Kaylin said, poking at some strange thing on the wall. "Did someone make you come too?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

"If you're looking for Fandom High this is it," Barry said barely looking up from his tablet. "And if you want an explanation this is an airport and those things over there are airplanes."

Somewhere in the corner, on a bench, there was all of a sudden a man that had not been there before: a bedraggled man with too-long blond hair pulled back into a small ponytail, who looked as if he'd been drinking for four days straight and had not yet been alerted to his current place in the scheme of all things.

Which was a decent enough description of Edward, for all that. All he really knew was that this was less comfortable than a haystack, but moreso than the cold floor, and the air smelled suspiciously of something other than piss.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

Barry looked up at Edward and realized he wasn't there a minute before.

And judging by his clothes...

"You looking for Fandom High?" Barry asked, "Or a Jerry Bruckheimer movie?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

The boy in the ankle-length robe trimmed with fur and embroidery? The one with the long staff strapped to his back?

That would be Anders. And if his clothes didn't make him conspicuous enough, the fact he'd stumbled through a glowing portal and promptly gone to vomit in the nearest potted plant probably would.

He was pale and weak as he sank onto the first bench at hand, too dazed from his mode of transport to notice much about where he was.

There was a streak of red light mostly hidden behind that pillar over there, and Andros walked out, carrying a small duffel bag and nothing else. Most of his belongings were still on the Megaship, and after the evacuation it wasn't like that amounted to all that much, anyway.

He took a seat and looked warily around at what he guessed were his new fellow students, wondering what, exactly, Zordon expected him to get out of this.

Alex tried not to appear nervous as made her way through the lounge to where she to be.

She adjusted the backpack she was wearing and looked around. She hoped that she had made the right decision in coming to boarding school, Annie had assured her that she had nothing to worry about at Fandom but now that was waiting for the shuttle she couldn't help but doubt her decision to move halfway across the country to go to school.

At least her first day of high school could not be worse than her first day of Junior High.

The Trip to Fandom!

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

The shuttle has arrived! What mysterious strange will transport this motley band of newbies to their new educational experience?

Re: The Trip to Fandom!

[sith_happened]

A bus that did not have a Union Jack painted on it, thank you very much, Jono.

Anakin swept into the waiting area with his Jedi robes swirling behind him, a small glower on his face. Karking drivers and their terrible lack of driver skills. "Fandom High? Get your stuff."

Re: The Trip to Fandom!

[furnaceface]

Look, Jono thought the bus would have been much improved by a Union Jack. Constantine had even agreed with him!

But he was behaving himself, more or less, wandering into the waiting area not far behind Anakin and looking, if not half as imposing as Skywalker, at least several times more amused.

//Anybody need a hand with their luggage, just wave down the lanky bloke in the leather wrappings,// he shared. //S'what I'm here for.//

Up early as I may be yanked into a meeting at 4:00.

Seriously. Who plans a meeting at 4:00 on a Friday?

Disappearing due to show tonight. Why did my show have to be on newbie weekend???
