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.

"Nah, I got you covered." He couldn't say Fandom would never send an inexperienced driver out to pick the new kids up, but they at least hadn't this time. "There ain't room on most of the island for vehicles this large, so once you're there you'll probably find more stuff you're more familiar with. Though I don't s'pose you're familiar with bikes."

They'd only come around a little while before cars, as far as Eliot knew, and judging by this girl's outfit, she predated that by quite a bit.

Margaery bit her lower lip, shaking her head. "Horses? Carts, carriages, litters," she offered again, with a small smile. "And when I was very small I had a pony...."

Bikes were very new to her, yes.

Eliot smiled. "Well you'll want to check out the Gig, then. It's the town stable. Plenty of horses there when you get the urge to rent one out for the day. Bikes are . . . kinda halfway between. They're smaller than horses, and you can only really get one person at a time on one comfortably, but they're mechanical. You use your feet to turn the wheels. There are carts you can hire to ride around town in that are pulled by guys on bikes instead of horses."
