BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning

[teenagewarhead.livejournal.com]

After missing a flight due to airport security feeling the need to wand over every single piercing she had, Negasonic was in a bit a mood. Then she saw the glittery banner welcoming all Fandom High students and the portalocity lounge.

Ugh. Glitter.

She dumped her duffel bag on the floor and slumped into a chair. Five seconds later she had her phone out to tweet about what a lousy flight experience she had and how little she was looking forward to going to a new school.

She immediately got a tweet back from Colossus. "Give it a chance."

Ugh. Optimism.

She slunk down in her chair a little farther and hoped the shuttle would get here soon so she could at least be going someplace.

Wait for the shuttle...

And check out the other noobs.

"BOOM, BABY!" Kuzco yelled, pausing dramatically under the sign and waiting for applause.

There was always applause.

Negasonic looked up from her phone and just kind of gave the boy in the robes a weird look before responding.

"Saying boom in an airport isn't the best idea."

Kuzco looked a little confused, glancing over his shoulder to see who she was talking to. No one ever corrected him. It explained part of his charming personality.

"Oh yeah?"

With a slightly less dramatic and more shuffling entrance came Rhys. So, yeah. He'd managed to make his way here through sheer dumb luck because he didn't know where here was.

No big deal. Just your average kid without an arm or an eye. Hanging out here. Looking very weirded out.

"Oh god, I'm having a nervous break down," he said to himself. He honestly thought he'd gotten through the dangerzone of psychotic breaks after year one of being employed by Hyperion.

"In that case, do it over there," Kuzco said, pointing far from where he was sprawled in his chair. "Way, way over there."

Re: Wait for the shuttle...

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

Excuse you, he was having a meltdown here! That was rude!

"Thank you very much---guy in a dress."

Oh, sick burn!

Re: Wait for the shuttle...

Negasonic rolled her eyes. Geez. Dramatic much?

Granted he had no eye or arm but Negasonic went to a school where one of her mentors was made of metal and another one was covered in blue fur.

"What's your problem?"

Re: Wait for the shuttle...

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Oh... so, so many things right now," Rhys answered, voice going a little high.

Margaery didn't really know what she had expected. She'd left Highgarden a day or so ago on horseback, in the company of three knights to see her safe passage. (One had been her brother Loras, and she wouldn't easily admit how long she'd clung to him when it had been time to part.)

But rather than a ship, as she'd anticipated, they'd found a shimmering sort of...door, when they reached the coast. Margaery had no dealings with magic - it was delightfully fun when travelers to her father's castle brought stories of red priests and ancient dragons, of course, but she'd never seen anything before her very eyes.

And the strangeness hadn't dissipated when she'd crossed through the portal. Left clutching her own bag - no horses or knights here to bear a lady's burden - Margaery took a seat with wide eyes.

This place was very, very different from home. Grandmother had said to be brave, to trust her that this was the right path - but Margaery felt her stomach tightening in a knot of nerves, all the same. She tried to keep her face placid and calm, though she couldn't help a little awe seeping into her features as she looked around.

Kuzco, sprawled in one of the uncomfortable waiting area chairs, gave her a two-fingered wave of slight politeness, then adjusted his crown.

In case maybe she'd missed how amazing and important he was, since the other people hadn't been nearly impressed enough. "Heya."

RE: Re: Wait for the shuttle...

"Good afternoon," Margaery replied, smiling warmly - as far as she was concerned, anyone she met here needed to become an ally, and quickly. She was so, so far from home. Her eyes flicked to his crown, and she felt even further from home. "Is that your House's sigil?" she asked, a note of regret in her voice. "I'm sorry, I really should have learned those before I came here."

She'd been too busy commissioning an entire new wardrobe. Priorities.

Negasonic looked up her phone and gave the girl in the clothes a strange look.

"You here for high school or a renaissance fair?"

Granted Negasonic had a shaved head and was wearing leather and Doc Martin's. She probably shouldn't throw stones.

RE: Re: Wait for the shuttle...

[hidingthorns.livejournal.com]

"School, primarily, but - is there going to be a fair?" Margaery asked, her eyes lighting up. "Oh, you always hope that there might be a feast, or even a tourney but - oh, how fun!"

She smiled over at Negasonic, doing her level best to look as though the other girl's appearance was totally normal to her. "Are you to attend school, as well?"

Re: Wait for the shuttle...

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

"Uh, you're very... hi." Yeah, there was Rhys usual level of charm. -20%

It worked for him never.

"Hi."

Shuttle time!

[teenagewarhead.livejournal.com]

The shuttle has arrived! Please wait for the driver's to ping in first though.

Of the various tasks Eliot had been volunteered for without his knowledge at Fandom of the last couple years, this was one of the nicer ones. Plus, it made sure that the kids didn't have to get confronted with BRIGHT PINK BUBBLY PONY! or something equally bizarre immediately.

And, you know, it was pretty great to be back on Earth proper and behind the wheel again.

"All aboard for Fandom High," he called once he'd pulled up and opened the door. "Move it or lose it."

"Any chance we can leave one of them behind?" Negasonic asked sarcastically as she shoved her duffel bag in a compartment.

Kuzco had already made a wonderful impression on her.

Re: Shuttle time!

[got-hijacked.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Rhys would be busy feeling super guilty over Buttstallion if Pinkie showed up. So, this was the best option as far as he was concerned.

If he was concerned about such things.

"For what?" this year's newest, one eyed, one armed, non-flying, non-purple, non-cannibal asked.

Re: Shuttle time!

[notouchykuzco.livejournal.com]

"I move when I want to," Kuzco told him, then pointed to his cartoonishly ridiculous pile of luggage. "Careful of the first few--they have heavy things."

He guessed. The guys who'd lugged them here had been sweating pretty hard.

On the other hand, he did have to deal with a sulking boyfriend. "I still ain't understand why I ain't drivin'," he muttered. "I brought the playlist."

Re: Shuttle time!

[hidingthorns.livejournal.com]

"Lose what?" Margaery inquired, not impolitely, as she stood and looked at her bag.

There were people here to carry it now. Hop to, gentlemen!

No world ending on new student weekend. Nope. Not happening.

Re: OOC:

I AM SO SORRY, EVERYONE. IF HE RIDES ON THE ROOF, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

Re: OOC:

THAT'S JUST PART OF HIS CHARM! WE UNDERSTAND!
