BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[apocalypsehow]

No more than a few minutes ago, Five had been waiting in Dallas, Texas in 1963 to make sure Kennedy died. The fact that he was in the future/past wasn't actually that strange for him. Because his job. The fact that he was now physically a teenager again, however, really was strange. And annoying.

Mostly annoying.

He grabbed a newspaper--it was 2021 somehow??--and a coffee to take a seat where he could unobtrusively observe people. The fact that he was basically a kid in an ill-fitting suit and sitting near a glittery sign that proclaimed this the pick up spot for Fandom High was just a side-note.

"More of what?" Anakin asked.

"The shuttle," said Ignis, with a gesture toward it. "I would have expected to have seen it, if not at the very least heard it, coming from several miles away..."

Anakin frowned. "You don't happen to know Nina, do you?"

Or had the Tales of the Bus become inter-galactic gossip?

"She happens to be the entire reason I am even here," said Ignis with a dryness that almost bordered on amused.

While Prompto would just be over here not existing, APPARENTLY.

"In that case, you've probably heard of me," Anakin said. "I'm Anakin Skywalker. She calls me Bus Dean."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[chef_chocobro]

"Ah, yes," Ignis nodded slightly, a hand lifted to his chin as he placed the name easily. "The beleaguered dean of students. Nice to finally have a face to go with the name. I'm Ignis Scientia."

He would imagine his name passed through her lips a bit less often, though, to be fair, Ignis also recognized the name and title from Prompto's time at the school, as well.

"Very nice to meet you, Ignis," Anakin said. "Are you from Nina's world or Prompto's?"

Re: Trip to Fandom

[chef_chocobro]

"You as well, Anakin," Ignis nodded. "And I'm from Prompto's. Although Nina certainly has made it her own in her particular way, as well."

Re: Trip to Fandom

Anakin grinned. "She has a habit of doing that," he said. "Her rule over the student council is enthusiastic and terrifying."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[chef_chocobro]

"Just imagine," mused Ignis, "how disturbingly quiet that place is going to be once she finally graduates..."

Although Nina was surely a presence that would never quite fully fade, either.

"All of the extra exclamation points, just sitting around unused," Anakin teased.

"You'll have to find a place to store all that surplus," Ignis speculated, hand to his chin for a moment before it left it with a little gesture and a shrug, "or perhaps start a donation program, to help those less fortunate in their access to excessive punctuation..."

"We love a good charity drive," Anakin said. "It's very popular with the school board."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[chef_chocobro]

"Excellent," said Ignis, with an accomplished sort of lift of his chin. "When the time comes, I shall be more than happy volunteer my services to the cause."

Re: Trip to Fandom

[sith_happened]

"Think we can do it with italics, too?" Anakin asked.

Re: Trip to Fandom

[chef_chocobro]

"Oh," said Ignis, "italics are a wonderful idea. I'm rather a big fan of them myself. I should cherish the opportunity to spread the wealth."

Anakin winced at the oral onslaught. "Oh, you're good."
