BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[midichlorianfail]

The glittery welcome banner had been hauled out from storage, by now looking decidedly worse for wear, which made it a good match for now fairly battered Jedi robes Theron was wearing as he sat under it, trying to meditate.

Master Till'in hadn't quite kicked him out of the enclave with nothing but the (donated) clothes on his back, but the whole detachment and lack of worldly possessions gig meant they hadn't had much to spare either. Especially for random strays without connections to the Order like they were still selling Theron as, and among the practical skills Master Zho had taught him was enough financial sense not to waste his limited creds on replacing perfectly serviceable clothing just because he wasn't actually entitled to it.

At least no one where he was headed was going to recognise them for what they were.

"Ah," Jenkins said, raising a hand. "Now, that would be telling. Suffice it to say I am a bit older than I look."

Molly smirked a little and nodded. She would've winked, but it wouldn't exactly have an effect with the sunglasses. "Me too," she said.

Though in her case, it was more like two.

"So... pretend I've just woken up after a really long nap and I need to know what year it is. What would you tell me?"

"You are entering the tail-end of the year 2017," Jenkins said, unperturbed. "The new year will begin in only two days time. Telephones are now the size of playing cards, most humans have the right to vote -- on paper, at least -- and mankind has developed some truly exceptional new snacks."

Jenkins' priorities were very well-placed, yes.

"Now, I should say that, were you someone who has just woken up from a really long nap, you are adjusting to it terribly well. Is this, perhaps, not your first nap of this kind?"

"A different kind of nap," Molly said, wishing she'd kept her pad and pencil out. "I'm not a stranger to the seemingly inexplicable. Though I like to dig and find out the whole explanation."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[livingartifact]

"Well, then, you're sure to find Fandom simply fascinating," Jenkins said. "Much of it seems to defy explanation entirely."

"I'm looking forward to it," Molly said. "And don't think you're off the hook about that hundred years thing. I'll be asking you again later."

She gave him the proud smile of a reporter who loved to be called a nuisance.

Jenkins' mouth quirked up in a faint smile in return. "Wouldn't it be more fun to suss out clues for yourself, rather than ask directly?"
