BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning

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.

"Well, just this once I won't throw you in the dungeon Yzma doesn't think I know about," Kuzco said. "I'm Kuzco."

He said that like it was completely obvious she should know who that was.

(There was no reason it should be obvious.)

"Lady Margaery, of House Tyrell," she replied, straightening her shoulders. She wasn't used to making her own introductions but it really wasn't as though there was anyone else to do it for her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuzco."

She extended her hand, so that he might kiss it. At the very least she expected him to do the courtly thing and kiss the air above it.

Kuzco looked the hand for a second, shook it quickly and then let it drop.

He wasn't big on touching.

"So at least you make sense for the big leadership thing we're here for. I don't know about some of these others."

That's how he had gotten shoved through a portal and sent here: a big lie about a leadership weekend.

"Leadership thing?" Margaery echoed. "Well, that certainly sounds like something I'd be interested in - but I must admit to not knowing of anything specific ahead of time."

She took a little further interest in him, though, ad that admission - "Does that mean you're to inherit, then?" she asked, smiling. "Or are you a rising military leader, perhaps?"

He didn't look it, but she figured he might be flattered.

"Oh, I already run things," Kuzco said breezily. "I'm Emperor."

"Emperor of...?" Margaery asked. "Here? Forgive my unfamiliarity."

She'd only just gotten here, after all.

"Oh, just about everything," Kuzco said, vastly overstating his importance. "I rule the world."

Mmm, not so much.

"Well, not my corner of the world," Margaery corrected.

She would know.

But that being said, he was getting a lot more of her interest, now, albeit she was cautious. "Do you not travel with a guard detail?"

"I did until I got here, and then they said that the protection was excessive. They wouldn't even let me keep Theme Song Guy!"

...everyone had one of those, right?

"I had to leave mine behind, too," Margaery offered. "But I'd think they'd make an exception for an Emperor, really."

She'd think they'd make an exception for a highborn lady, particularly one as pretty as she was, too, but Margaery was wrong about a lot of things today.

"Well, I'll ask the person in charge when I get there, then."

Demand. With yelling. It should go well.
