BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

BWI had long since given up asking questions about the lounge with the glittery banner, and definitely didn't blink at the antics of the crowd that usually showed up. Generally, they did their best to ignore it all and pretend nothing ever happened.

Which was perfectly fine with Yang, because it meant no one was giving her dirty looks for taking her gauntlets apart and putting them back together, or telling her to get her boots off the furniture, or yelling at her for shooting balls of paper at the wall out of boredom.

If more people didn't start showing up, though, she was going to be So. Bored. It was going to be a shitty training camp if she was the only person there, though dad wouldn't have been so enthused about her getting accepted to it if it sucked.

Whatever. She could sprawl on this couch and play games on her scroll until something more interesting happened, which would hopefully be soon.

Prince Sidon had wandered this marvelous new place in utter fascination, completely oblivious to the fact that he garnered quite a bit of fascination himself. Why, he'd never seen anything like it! And this, he knew, was just the terminus, just one step on his way.

If only he knew where to go! But he saw banners, and that seemed promising, if not a good place to start.

"Pardon the intrusion," asked the giant shark man in his affected royal accent to whomever might be receptive to it, "but might anyone be able to direct me to where we are to gather for the voyage to Fandom High?"
in_sidon_we_trust: (we can do it!)

"Wonderful!" said Sidon, pumping his fist across his chest with excitement. He beamed broadly at the girl, fascinated by how she appeared to have royal Hylian features with a Gerudo stature. Marvelous! "Are you to be attending the school as well? With two of us, it will surely be easier to know where we must be to begin that leg of our travels."

"Oh!" he continued, a hand apologetically to his chest, and he bowed slightly to the girl. "Pardon me. I seem to have forgotten my manners in all my excitement. I am Sidon, the Zora Prince!"

And here his gesture from earlier was repeated with even more emphasis and flair, flashing a sharp and toothy grin that definitely had a sparkle to it, even in this lighting. He held the pose just long enough that it might start to get uncomfortable before he straightened and asked, "And who might you be?"

"Yang Xiau Long! What a superb name!" And Sidon kneeled to better take her hand and offer ot a princely kiss as if offering it to Princess Zelda herself. And should she not wish to receive the courtly gesture, he planned to smoothly talk away any awkwardness to follow as he straighted again.

"My father is a wise ruler, indeed, and has sent me to all thr kingdoms of Hyrule so that I might be more knowledgeable, except the Gerudo Desert, of couse." And he chuckled as if anyone would know why that was obvious. "And now I venture to other lands, to see what wisdom they may have to share. The Elders were against st it, but the Elders fail to accept that the world is much different in this time of the Great Calamity."

"And that miscomprehension is entirely a failure on my part," Sidon ducked his head apologetically, though he was smiling, scary as that smile could often unintentionally be. "This land is just so different from my own! And clearly untouched by the ravages of Calamity Ganon, but it is all I have known for most of my life. It is a horrible plague, one that has nearly left my homeland destroyed, but that is a grim topic for a pleasant event such as this. Let us step away from Hyrule for a moment and perhaps speak of your home! Where do you come from, Yang Xiao Long?"

"And now," Sidon laughed, "it it my turn to not understand anything you are saying, Yang Xioa Long. I suppose Hyrule could be a part of Menagerie; this is my first time outside of Hyrule, so I am uncertain of any sort of classifications of the world as a larger whole. Patch and Vale, as locations, are not familiar to my ears, either."

Paris stomped her way over to the lounge. "That's the last time I ever fly the JFK shuttle here," she said. "We drove around the airports so long I thought we were just going to get on the Jersey turnpike and drive the plane here. What a pointless flight."

Please don't mind the giant shark man eying you a little strangely, Paris. It was simply that this little one seemed rather upset by something, but he couldn't fathom for the life of him exactly what she had been talking about. Did she speak a different language, one interspersed with Hylian? Or was he now simply feeling what Yang Xiao Long had been feeling when he was spewing about his homeland? Either way, it seemed wise to give her a wide breadth; being more like a newborn hatchling in this situation, he couldn't imagine he'd be very helpful, and might even make things worse!

Paris's eyes went wide. And then wider. And then even wider.

"What is the matter with you?" she demanded. "Why do you look like you're on the way to a comic book convention?"

And Sidon's eyes were nearly as wide as realized he had failed to pass her notice. Giant octoroks and Lizalfos he could handle without blinking an eye, but for some reason, this one made him feel quite intimidated. It was, hopefully, just the nerves at go along with such adventures at times.

"Pardon my ignorance," he said, ducking his head slightly in apology, "but what is a comic book convention?"

"A place where freaks dress up in costumes from comic books that I've never heard of and are weird together. It's not what you wear to go to a prestigious boarding school."

Because the shark thing was obviously a costume. Right?

And, for a brief moment, Sidon's confidence wavered. He frowned, and the fins on his brow seemed to droop a little. He patted his chest a little, fingering his sash with uncertainty.

"No," he said carefully. "I don't imagine it is. Oh, how troublesome. Does it seem but a mere costume? These accouterments are quite traditional and fitting for a prince such as myself. It did not even cross my mind that they might not be considered acceptable. I...I beg your pardon; I am not from around here..."

"Okay, points for being really into the role or whatever, but you can stop it now," Paris told him. "It's not going to impress me."

"I am...not trying to impress you," Sidon admitted, the confusion thick in his voice. He would, probably, be trying to impress her if he wasn't so battled. "I am merely trying to figure out if I have made a grave faux pas before I've even arrived. I don't mean to sound rude, but I do feel that you are being far more bewildering right now than you are helpful."

Paris, it was true, never really tried to be helpful. Ever.

"Showing up looking like a shark is definitely not normal," Paris informed him.

"Then I suppose," said Sidon, after a long moment of frowning and considering his hands, his head tail, his hip fins, his feet, "I am definitely not normal, for I'm afraid this is simply how I look. How everyone looks where I am from."

And if looking at he did was not normal, well, then, he thought as he puffed out his chest and straightened his shoulders confidently after such an assessment, he was quite happy to not be normal.

Anakin was there, precisely on time unlike his mun who hates living in the developing world SO MUCH YOU GUYS and glanced around for shell-shocked newbies.

"Anyone going to Fandom?"
in_sidon_we_trust: (yes!)

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[personal profile] in_sidon_we_trust 2017-08-26 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Sidon would very much fit the description of a shell-shocked newbie, as his eyes widened at the sight of the shuttle. Why, he had never seen anything like this before in his life! What was it? Was it this land's version of a Divine Beast? It didn't look a thing like the Divine Beasts back home, except for perhaps a few similarities, in that it was large and mechanical and was clearly used for transportation. It was so much...smoother, though, sleek. Perhaps they had technology to surpass even the ancient Sheikahs!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Sidon became, though he hesitated very strongly to get too near. His fists were held up against his chest, almost like a child attempting to restrain his excitement. A very large, red, sharky child.

"I am going to Fandom," he told the man carefully then gestured a hand toward the shuttle. "Is this a Divine Beast? Are you one of this land's Guardians?"

Anakin, fortunately, had been to a lot of new student pick-ups.

"This is called a bus," Anakin said. "I'm one of the teachers and administrators at the school, so I'm a bit of a guardian, but I'm not sure it's exactly in the sense you mean."
in_sidon_we_trust: (yeah-heah! That's the spirit!)

Re: The Trip to Fandom

[personal profile] in_sidon_we_trust 2017-08-26 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Sidon considered this new information and chuckled a little at his overly grand assumption. "No," he agreed, "I do not think the titles are so similar after all. I have never seen one of these...bus before, but they are most similar to our Divine Beasts. This seems much nicer, though, so shiny! So sleek! You must be very proud of your technology that creates such wonderful things!

"I am Sidon," he then offered, with his patented introduction gesture of a good, hearty pump of his fist across his chest, with a sparkling, toothy shark grin, "the Zora Prince. I am pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"Thank you!" said Sidon enthusiastically.

Yet he still made no move to boarding the bus, not yet, still seeming quite unsure about the whole thing, though it helped to see the others get on without a problem, and he laughed at himself a little. "Fascinating," he murmured to himself. "Just wonderful. Though I suspect I shall have to watch my head as I enter..."

"And probably near the middle of the bus so the weight balances out," Anakin added with a little smile. "I'll have to tell Principal Winchester to adjust the bus to accommodate a greater variety of student physiques again."
