BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning [05/04].

[howareyanow]

"What the ever-loving fuck is a Portalocity Lounge?"

Apparently, it was precisely the place where Wayne was standing, squared shoulders, thumbs in his belt loops, frowning up at the softest, most sparkliest banner he had ever seen...and he'd een to at least a baker's dozen of Dary's traditional soft birthday parties, so he knew a soft fucking banner when he saw one.

"That," he stated, to no one in particular, especially since he seemed to be the first one there (if you're not five minutes early, you're five minutes late, bud), "is fucking 10-ply."

But it was what it was. No going back now, ain't no reason to get excited, he supposed. Pitter-patter. So he turned his head sharply to one side of the lounge, eyed the chairs against the wall, and went to have a seat, one hand on his knee, tohe other around the smallest cup of coffee he could get, and settled in to wait.

[[ and the ocd is incoming has landed! Let's get at 'er. ]]

Wayne took note of the other boy taking the pictures, and would offer an amicable nod to him if he notcied, but he was mostly content in just sitting and waiting quietly, for the most part.

Billy happened to glance that way now that I finally have a decent screen size to track multiple threads in between a couple of those pictures (Freddy was disappointed that it looked so mundane for a place with interfreakingdimensional portals) and nodded back at him. "Are we all going to the same place?"

"I'd sure hope so," said Wayne, taking a moment to squint around the lounge, "otherwise I think someone's going to be for at least a few surprises. Fandom High, like the banner says. Sound about right?"

"Sounds about right," agreed Billy with a tiny smirk of amusement that he'd gone from Fawcett High to Fandom High, at least for the summer. "What, uh -- how come you ended up coming here?"

"Ohhh," said Wayne, that squinting look slipping off to the side a little, "my uncle Eddie thought it might be good for me to get ouwt fer a bit. Said it builds...character."

That last bit was said in a way that made it clear he wasn't too convinced about that.

"What's your story, bud?"

Welllllll.

"My family thought I should get to have the summer camp experience since I never did before," Billy said slowly, "but I'm not sure this is going to be a summer camp the way they thought it would be, exactly?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle - [05/04].

[howareyanow]

Wayne squinted, tilting his head with interest. "What makes you say that?"

It was already a little different, sure, considering he'd been sent off to a whole different country for it, but he really had no idea what he was going in for beyond 'summer camp,' and a little insight might not hurt if this guy had something more about the place than he had.

"I don't know." Billy shrugged. "It seems a lot more set up like a school than a camp, just with really weird classes? And the brochure I saw didn't say anything about campfires or making s'mores and stuff."

He paused and cleared his throat.

". . . It's kind of obvious I've never actually been to one, isn't it?"

"L'il bit," said Wayne, though, really, campires and s'mores were to be expected at camp, he wasn't wrong there. "But if it helps, I'm sure we can get everyone together to join hands and start singin' 'kumbayaaaa' fer ya. I don't think you're wrong, though. More summer school than summer camp..."
