BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning

[thishouseishaunted]

"Portalocity lounge," Mae read aloud, and heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally. First time I ever travel alone and I get lost in the stupid airport." She walked into the lounge, looked around, and hopped up onto the bench, her duffel bag tucked under her feet. There was plenty of room, since her legs were too short to reach the ground. "Of course, it's bigger than, like, all of Possum Springs put together, so I guess that can't be too surprising. Good thing Mom and Dad insisted I take the early bus."

She tapped her heels on her duffel bag and eyed the door. "And now I'm talking to myself. Good job, Mae. Perfect first impression." She made her eyes comically wide and waved to an imaginary audience. "HeY, I'M mAe, i'M TOtallY NOrmAl, niCE To MEeT yoU." She frowned and tapped her feet harder. "Good job, Killer."

Another glance around the lounge. There wasn't a lot to look at yet.

"I wish I had a video game."

[NEWBIE SHUTTLE TIME! Possibly slightly early, but I want a distraction]

"...why are you getting your hair all dirty?" Kagura asked, because that was the important question.

Entrapta looked at the other girl, confused, and then down at her hair, pulling a tendril up to examine it. "It mostly takes care of itself," she said, shrugging. "It never seems to get dirty anyway."

"But what if you step in dog poo?" Kagura asked, continuing the line of important questions. "You'd have it in your hair!"

That would be awful.

"Why would I do that?" Entrapta asked. "That seems counter-productive. And gross."

"You don't do it on purpose," Kagura said. "Sometimes it just happens because you're around a dog."

Re: Wait for the shuttle

"Oh that's easy," Entrapta said. "I'm never around dogs. Or really any animals. Just robots. I even built robot rats!"

And they never had pooped anywhere. Because they were robots.

"...what do robot rats do?" Kagura asked, because the point of them didn't seem immediately apparent.

Re: Wait for the shuttle

"They're very cute," Entrapta assured her.

...Honestly, that was the important thing.

"They also help with sanitation and maintenance."

"You built robot janitors?" Kagura replied, thinking on that for a second. "That way you don't have to do any of the house work!"

What a great idea.
