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."


[OCD up. Go! Go! Go!]

"I'll get the luggage," Anakin said with a tiny smile. "Just get on the bus."

"I can do that," Julius said, nodding.

He didn't even blink at the bus. If anything, it had actually put him at ease. The last of his growing concern that this was a trap set by another clan vanished. If there was any draconic trait even more universal than their love of plotting, it was snobbery. No dragon, no matter how cheap or desperate, would be caught dead using a human who drove a vehicle like this. With that settled, though, there was only one question left. Why had Bob set him up with this school?

That relaxation lasted until he was firmly inside the bus and could see the driver's area. There was no sign of even a rudimentary AI or autonav system. "Is this a manual?" he asked.

They were going to die.

Anakin sighed. "Mostly," he admitted. "I've done some modifications."

Re: Trip to Fandom

"Did you...somehow retrofit an AI in there?" Somewhere? Somehow?

"Not yet," Anakin said. "There's a student--a few students, at first, now just the one--who likes to mess with the bus."

Obviously.

"I don't want to add more difficulty."

"So you're just...going to be driving this by yourself," Julius said, brilliant green eyes big as saucers. "How is this still in working condition? It's an antique! Shouldn't it be in a museum somewhere?"

A very, very weird museum?

"What year do you think it is?" Anakin asked.

The bus was old but not that old.

Re: Trip to Fandom

What kind of question was that?

"2097?" Julius said, blinking.

Re: Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"Nooooo," Anakin said slowly. "2020."

"What?!"
