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!]

Kaylin beamed at him. Someone she could understand and relate to. "See, I knew you seemed like someone I'd know back home. How did you get here? Did they make you come, like they made me?"

"No, I volunteered," Four replied. "Until the brochure came, we didn't know there was anyone out there anywhere. Naturally a Dauntless should be sent to explore. We're unafraid."

"Sounds like the Barrani," Kaylin said. "They laugh in the face of danger. It's kind of eerie, actually."

"We have some of those in Dauntless," Four said, nodding. "The adrenaline junkies."

"Frightening, aren't they?" Kaylin said. "And since it's nearly impossible to kill a Barrani, that makes them even more scary."
