BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[misshapen_spark]

BWI had long since given up asking questions about the lounge with the glittery banner, and definitely didn't blink at the antics of the crowd that usually showed up. Generally, they did their best to ignore it all and pretend nothing ever happened.

Which was perfectly fine with Yang, because it meant no one was giving her dirty looks for taking her gauntlets apart and putting them back together, or telling her to get her boots off the furniture, or yelling at her for shooting balls of paper at the wall out of boredom.

If more people didn't start showing up, though, she was going to be So. Bored. It was going to be a shitty training camp if she was the only person there, though dad wouldn't have been so enthused about her getting accepted to it if it sucked.

Whatever. She could sprawl on this couch and play games on her scroll until something more interesting happened, which would hopefully be soon.

Anakin was there, precisely on time unlike his mun who hates living in the developing world SO MUCH YOU GUYS and glanced around for shell-shocked newbies.

"Anyone going to Fandom?"

Sidon would very much fit the description of a shell-shocked newbie, as his eyes widened at the sight of the shuttle. Why, he had never seen anything like this before in his life! What was it? Was it this land's version of a Divine Beast? It didn't look a thing like the Divine Beasts back home, except for perhaps a few similarities, in that it was large and mechanical and was clearly used for transportation. It was so much...smoother, though, sleek. Perhaps they had technology to surpass even the ancient Sheikahs!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Sidon became, though he hesitated very strongly to get too near. His fists were held up against his chest, almost like a child attempting to restrain his excitement. A very large, red, sharky child.

"I am going to Fandom," he told the man carefully then gestured a hand toward the shuttle. "Is this a Divine Beast? Are you one of this land's Guardians?"

Anakin, fortunately, had been to a lot of new student pick-ups.

"This is called a bus," Anakin said. "I'm one of the teachers and administrators at the school, so I'm a bit of a guardian, but I'm not sure it's exactly in the sense you mean."

Sidon considered this new information and chuckled a little at his overly grand assumption. "No," he agreed, "I do not think the titles are so similar after all. I have never seen one of these...bus before, but they are most similar to our Divine Beasts. This seems much nicer, though, so shiny! So sleek! You must be very proud of your technology that creates such wonderful things!

"I am Sidon," he then offered, with his patented introduction gesture of a good, hearty pump of his fist across his chest, with a sparkling, toothy shark grin, "the Zora Prince. I am pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"I'm Anakin Skywalker," Anakin said. "Welcome to Fandom and possibly Earth."

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Thank you!" said Sidon enthusiastically.

Yet he still made no move to boarding the bus, not yet, still seeming quite unsure about the whole thing, though it helped to see the others get on without a problem, and he laughed at himself a little. "Fascinating," he murmured to himself. "Just wonderful. Though I suspect I shall have to watch my head as I enter..."

"And probably near the middle of the bus so the weight balances out," Anakin added with a little smile. "I'll have to tell Principal Winchester to adjust the bus to accommodate a greater variety of student physiques again."

"Hell yeah," Yang said, unfolding from her seat and picking up her very large, very heavy suitcase with one hand. "That's us. Or me, at least."

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"Guess you don't need help with that," Anakin said with a little grin.

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[misshapen_spark]

Yang grinned and hefted it above her head with ease. "I mean, maybe if you added another few tons..." she laughed. "But I can do the loading, easy."

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"That's a handy skill to have," Anakin said. "Welcome. I'm Anakin Skywalker."
