BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday

The plane down from New York hadn't taken long, but after all the time in airports, TJ was ready to be done with it all, and was regretting her refusal to let Dad take her in the jet. But nope, she was doing this on her own, no overprotective parents around.

Somehow, she thought the biggest danger here was going to be glitter. The stuff was everywhere. Most of it was concentrated on a huge banner that read FANDOM HIGH, but it never stayed just where you put it, did it?

She wheeled her suitcase over to one of the seats and perched on the back of the seats, tail out for extra balance, and took out her phone to text back that yes, Dad, yes, Mom, she'd made it just fine. And then maybe to whine to Aunt Kate about how she'd had to do that.


[Newbie shuttle ahoy!]

"Kind of hard to miss, isn't it?" TJ waved and glanced up at him, though she was paying more attention to her phone.

Look, she'd been on this level for ages. She didn't want to screw it up.

At first Cutter thought he was imaging things, he rubbed his eyes and blinked several times but the colour stayed the same.

Sorry TJ, Cutter was used to dinosaurs running through England but everything else was still new to him.

It felt rude to say something about that so he nodded, “erm…yes,” he said, small talk was really not his strong point, “at least it made it easy to find,”

He was really bad at this.

Hey, he got points for not saying anything out loud. Also for not trying to kill the mutie.

"Definitely that," she agreed. "We'll probably be finding it all over for weeks."

She glanced up again, actually took in who she was talking to, and ventured, "You a teacher?"

“They do seem to like the glitter,” Cutter was not used to so much glitter, he paused at her question, “I am, Professor Cutter - I’m teaching palaeontology this semester,”

"Oh, cool. Don't think I'm taking it, but still cool."
