BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge- Saturday morning

[lovethatjourney]

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."

Something about that music sounded oddly meta familiar to Freya, which was somewhat comforting, as so much about this was so, so strange.

The lights, however, were something else. Not even the most flamboyant and obnoxious theater ship would go that far!

But what was one more strange thing? Being sure to remember to duck her head to not hit her hat, Freya handed over a small slip of paper to the shuttle driver as she stepped up.

"Here's my ticket."

Yes, Anakin. She had a ticket, for some reason.

Anakin blinked. "You have a ticket?" he repeated.

"Yes," said Freya, still holding it out, with maybe just a little silent nudge in the air that he take it from her. It looked rather quaint and old fashioned and had the words Fandom High: Admit One printed neatly on it in a sort of box-office font. "It was given to me by the attendant at the Business District station, right before I arrived," somehow, mysteriously, "at this station. I can only assume it's for the shuttle to the island..."

Her one visible eye roamed dubiously at the bus, then almost worriedly back to the driver.

"Is this the shuttle to the island?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Anakin sighed. "It's not generally this...blinky and loud."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[dauntlessdragoon]

"At least no one will miss it," Freya offered helpfully. "But I do like the music."

It almost reminded her of winning a battle, or riding chocobos across the great valleys of the Mist Continent....

"Well, I can try to get it to you when I rip it out of the bus," Anakin offered.

Re: Trip to Fandom

[dauntlessdragoon]

"It is a little heavy on the bass," Freya allowed.

Re: Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

Anakin chuckled. "Check to see how the other people on your floor will feel about music first, then. I'm Anakin Skywalker, Dean of Students."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[dauntlessdragoon]

On her floor?

"Freya Crescent," she offered back with a nod, "Dragon Knight of Burmecia. May I ask you a question, Dean Skywalker?"

Re: Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"Of course," Anakin said, nodding. "What would you like to know?"

Re: Trip to Fandom

[dauntlessdragoon]

"This island," Freya ventured, with that knot in her stomach that had been growing tighter and bigger every time she asked anyone this question and kept consistently receiving the same answer, over and over again, but she was dauntless and determined, "Fandom Island. Are there any other Burmecians such as myself in residence there? Or, more specifically, another dragon knight, one that goes by the name of Sir Fratley?"

Re: Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"Not that I've seen," Anakin said, "but if they are taking another mode of transportation to arrive today, I cannot guarantee they won't be at the picnic as well."

Re: Trip to Fandom

Freya took a moment to consider that small kernel of hope that the Dean had given her with that thought--not a very good one, but her whole journey was built out of small little kernels--so she nodded, resolutely.

"Then I suppose," she said, "we shall have to wait and see."
