fandomhigh | BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

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!]

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.

"Yes, which means you must be too. Did you want to come or did someone make you?"

He'd have to explain airplanes if she saw one. Right now she was side-eyeing the bus.

[ooc: Sorry tiny phone internets!]

Well Barry can explain buses. He was good for that too.

"I wanted to come," Barry admitted as he held out a carton of Double Stuf Oreos. "Safer for me to do what I do at this place than at home. I take it you didn't want to come to Fandom? Here. Have a cookie."

[No worries!]

She looked at the cookies warily. "What are those?"

She'd never seen food come in a container like that.

"You don't have cookies where you come from?" Barry asked dubiously.

That might be a reality he'd never want to visit. He picked up an Oreo and took a bite.

"It's a dessert. A snack if you will."

"We have cookies - not that I can usually afford them - but I've never seen a container like that. Usually you'd just buy them from the baker's stall."

She took one and sniffed at it, then took a careful bite. And then practically inhaled the rest of it. "Those are delicious! We don't have anything like that - at least not that I've eaten."

Of course, she usually got by on bread and cheese and the occasional bowl of hot stew. Pastries were for special treats and when she had money, which pretty much meant never.

Barry chuckled. "Well cookies are pretty plentiful here. I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to find good food here.

"That would be a first," Kaylin said. "I don't think I've been anywhere where there were lots of opportunities for good food. Except the night or two I stayed with Caitlyn. She always made sure I was fed. Mostly I'm running too late to eat."

She was decidedly on the scrawny side.

"I'm getting a vibe here that wherever you're from isn't exactly a nice place," Barry commented. "hopefully this place will work out better for you."

"Well, the fiefs are pretty horrible, but the city is better. And technically, I could buy food, I just forget. And always seem to be out of money." She shrugged. "There's always something good to bet on, but I'm never very lucky."

"Pretty sure they have a cafeteria here where the food is free," Barry replied. " So that shouldn't be a huge problem for you anymore."

"Free?" Her eyes went huge. "And what do they expect of us if they're giving us free food?"

"Just go to class I suppose," Barry said with a shrug

"I have to do that already," Kaylin said glumly, "Or I can't be a Hawk."
