BWI Portalocity Lounge | Saturday Morning

[princessarcasm]

One of the very few perks of having a meteorologist for a mother was that Amy could almost always avoid weather-related flight delays by relying on her mom for information. That was usually very convenient, but today it meant that due to anticipated late morning storms in northern Texas, Amy had been forced to fly in at ass o'clock in the morning so that she wouldn't run the risk of missing the bus to school. So it looked like she was the first person to reach the Fandom High banner in the airport lounge, and while Amy had always had hopes of one day winning a race, this wasn't quite what she had had in mind.

Armed with an overstuffed duffel bag and her favorite pair of sweatpants (they were decorated with little cartoon strips of bacon!), Amy stifled a heavy yawn and parked herself in a distant corner of the lounge where she could wait for more people to show up.

Anna was staring. She hadn't known what to expect, exactly, but a girl in fully-clad armor wasn't it.

"Are you a knight?" she asked. It seemed like a reasonable question.

It was probably the most reasonable question Cassandra had been asked since she stumbled on in here.

"Yes," she said. Well, in a manner of speaking. "Or so I will be."

She looked right on back at Anna, studying her. No staff, no other signs that she was any more a mage than the other girls had been. "Who are you?"

She had cooled some, but not yet to the point of sounding friendly to anyone. (That might take weeks.)

Anna could deal with brusque. She lived with Elsa, who rarely opened a door. Actually talking counted as downright cozy, in her book.

"Anna, of Arendelle," she said, offering the girl a proper curtsy. "I've been so bad about introducing myself today. Are you here for the school?"

Cassandra was not entirely certain whether to be pleased to receive something of a proper welcome, or to be her usual flavor of mildly irritated with unnecessary courtly flourishes.

On a day like today, she was willing to settle for the former.

"I am Cassandra Pentaghast," she replied. She didn't curtsy, not in the least because the armor made it difficult. "I am here by accident. I am attempting to find out how this occurred."

"That's horrible," Anna said, clasping her hands over her heart. "Were you hurt? In the accident? Was there a big purple thing? Because I got here through a weird purple thing and so now I'm sort of ... worried about that. Because that's not normal. At least, for me."

Cassandra raised an eyebrow.

"It was white," she said. "Not purple. But the color matters little. Perhaps it is the same magic that sent us here."

Which made this girl an ally.

"It might be," Anna said. "I don't -- know anything about magic. At all. Except that I think trolls live near the --" do not say castle, Anna "-- the, city? I'm from? But I don't know if trolls are magical. They might just be trolls. Shouldn't make assumptions, right?"

And her sister was the Ice Queen, but, you know. The trolls had zapped that memory right out of her head.

"Do you think we're stuck?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[seeks_truth]

"No," Cassandra said firmly. "Something brought us here. It should have the power to return us. We must find what it is and force it to do so."

She was not sparing a single thought on as much as the notion that she might be stuck. If she had to break a few walls or people to make it right, she would, but she would not remain here.

"Right," Anna nodded. She wasn't going to be separated from her sister so easily. "If you find anything, let me know. I don't -- know what I can do to help, but I will help."

Sometimes, just having faith got you most of the way there.
