BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge- Saturday morning

It was't so much that Alexis wanted to go back to school, it was just that her options to bounce around a bit had dried up for the moment, and she should probably at least check this place out? She hadn't gotten to see much of it aside from the volcano and all, and very little of the area outside, so why not hang out for a while?

She'd amassed a lot of bags around her: on the floor, the seats next to her. A throne of luggage, of sorts. She was already a little bored waiting, wondering who else would show up, and how much glitter had gone into the giant "FANDOM HIGH" sign that was hanging.

...and how that glitter had already gotten on her designer luggage, which she was now trying to pick off with an, "Ew."

[OCD up. Go! Go! Go!]

"It's Elli," she said, after an askance look at the whole 'hopefully' bit. "And what's yours?"

"Alexis," she said with a smile, kind of wondering if Elli might recognize her at all. "I kind of figured I'd give this small town school thing a try."

She did not. Not really.

There wasn't even the slightest flicker of recognition. Small towns didn't get all the news unfortunately.

Elli laughed, a bit embarrassed.

"The brochures indicate that the school is larger than my hometown."

Mineral Town was tiny.

Alexis blinked, because like, she'd seen Fandom, albeit briefly, to shower and leave for several months.

"Really?"

Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned it but... no going back now.

Elli's blush deepened. "Yes," she admitted. "There's only about thirty people in my town."

And that was being generous.

"How?" Alexis asked immediately.

That was like a casual get together worth of people!

How?

A successful festival was if half the town showed up!

"Well, I suppose it's because we're a farming community...?"

"That sounds... really interesting."

It didn't, but at least she didn't say ew. Besides, she was almost definitely going to end up on a farm at some point for some reason herself someday.

"It really isn't that interesting," Elli demurred, though she loved her home and the quiet, peaceful days. "Where are you from?"

"New York. But you can say I'm pretty much from all over," she said with a smile.

She was not. She just traveled a bunch.

"I've only ever heard stories of New York," she admitted. "Getting here was the first time I'd ever been on a plane!"

And it had been equal parts nerve-wracking and thrilling.

"Does your family travel a lot?" Elli asked. "Just, if you're from all over...?"

"Well, yeah," she said, and gave her hand a kind of enthusiastic vague wave. "But I kind of do my own things these days. Go my own way."

Alexis was fifteen.

"Already?!" Elli asked, startled. "You must be very brave!"

Alexis preened.

"There's just such a big world out there. I can't imagine just staying in one place."

Also she didn't get much attention in one place.

"So you'll just stay here until you get bored?" she wondered. "That seems like a rather marvelous sort of way to live, though I couldn't possibly do it myself..."

For one, Elli did not have the money that had to take.

"Sure you could. I mean, it helps to find a boyfriend with a summer house or two, but there's plenty of ways to get away," Alexis told her.

"I wouldn't even know where to begin," Elli admitted, bemused at how very different Alexis was from... anyone she knew.

Popuri would love her.

"That's okay. I could totally teach you," Alexis offered, because she was giving that way.

...Which was probably a bad idea.

"You could?" Elli asked. "I'd like that, if you really didn't mind!"

Elli, no.

This was going to end in tears at some point.

"Why not? I've got some time coming up."

Did you want to get arrested in Vegas, Elli? Because this is how you get arrested in Vegas.

She... she just wouldn't tell her family about just how broadened her horizons would get!

Despite herself, Elli laughed. "Well, if you get too busy, I'll understand."

If she had any idea this could involve being arrested she'd be a lot less down for this.

"We'll see what happens when we get there." Since last time there'd been a kidnapping and all. "But when I have a chance to bounce for a bit, I'll give you a call."

Alexis had known her like five minutes, which was probably why stuff kept happening to her.

But she breezed through it so beautifully!

"A call? Oh, but I don't have a phone..."

"Easy fix," Alexis told her. "I couldn't function without mine."

"It just seems so extravagant," Elli confessed. "Why, there's only one phone in my town..."
