BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

Nina was totally on board with walking through the big, swirly magical portal thing with Lady Teresa, Shin, and Mistress Jeane looking on. Okay, no, she really wasn't, but Lady Teresa watched her with eyes full of faith and that a) made it hard to do anything to let her down and b) distracted Nina from her envy over Mistress Jeane's scantily clad… va-va-voom.

"Keep in touch, Nina," Lady Teresa said as the portal popped into existence in front of them.

Nina hefted her bookbelt and grinned. "I'll be fine, Lady Teresa, I promise!!!!!!! I'll write you right away and tell you all about it!!!!!!"

It was, like, totally super satisfying as some of her classmates got to shove her trunks through the portal before her. But then it meant she had to go through it and--there was no way she was letting Lady Teresa see that she had any qualms at all about this!

"Lord Shin," she said, as she turned to go, "you'd better make sure to look after Lady Teresa!!!! I won't be there to pick up your slack, you know!!!!!"

And then, before he could respond to that, though she heard Lady Teresa laugh, Nina strode through the portal, her back straight, her stride strong, her nerves jangling… and promptly, on the other side, tripped over her trunks.

"Owwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina popped up to her feet immediately, despite her aching knees, just in case, like anyone could see her, and stuck her tongue out at the portal, which blipped out of existence, utterly shameless.

It was only once Nina primly sat down on one of her trunks (and did not at all collapse onto it, really) that she took a good look around her.

Glitter, check. Balloons, check. Banner for the school, check…

And literally no one else.

"Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!"

Was she late?!?!?!?!?!?! Was she early?!?!?!?!

Some people didn't actually expect to be headed for a school on planet Earth. In fact, some people, the narrative certainly wasn't going to specify who, were absolutely caught by surprise when, in a flash of red light and a crackle of violet lightning accompanied by the smell of ozone, they happened to appear suddenly in the Portalocity lounge of a certain airport.

Vette (who might or might not have been the person in question), stood there for a moment with her arms outstretched, blinking away the sudden bright light in the room.

And then slowly lowered her hands as she looked around.

"... Oooookayyyyyy."

The balloons were unexpected. Definitely very unexpected.

Vette swayed a little in place, and then lifted her hands up to her face to rub at her eyes.

"That," she said, "is an excellent question. Let me get back to you on that in just one moment?"

She moved one hand away from her face and glanced around the room again.

"... I don't know why I was expecting it to make more sense a second time around."

The portal was fascinating, and Lana wished she had a scanner along, even as she did her best through the Force to ascertain what, precisely, it was.

She was paying so much attention to that, along with floating her trunk along next to her, that it took her a moment after it closed to actually look around the place.

Well. She wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, but it certainly wasn't this.

Well, that was an unusual amount of enthusiasm. "With the Force. I'm Lana, pleased to meet you. And yes, I am here for the school." She looked over the girl's clothes, but they didn't match anything she was familiar with. "Where are you from, Nina?"

"Now there's something you don't see every day."

Well. On Nar Shaddaa, in Vette's particular neck of the woods, maybe. But on the other hand, the galaxy was kind of crawing with Sith and Jedi...

Pardon Vette's candor, Lana. She still wasn't convinced she hadn't hit her head on something and was hallucinating right now. She'd been in a crypt about ten minutes ago. Now there was glitter.

Nerves and excitement were jolting through Prompto at high speed, making his usually jittery self even more restless as he tried to find out where he would be, everything seeming all unfamiliar and different, but at least not too different so far, that he'd noticed, anyway. He was almost skipping as he moved, humming his chocobo song under his breath as his camera danced here and there and everywhere, snapping pictures of whatever was even remotely interesting...which was kind of everything.

He slowed though, for a moment, fearing that he might have already missed the spot where the shuttle would take them to the school. Did he miss it, totally blow right by it? Or was he just getting to nervous and should just keep on? Keep on, he decided, resolutely, and if it turned out he missed it and the bus left without him, well, he could figure out. He grew up on the streets of Insomnia, how hard would it be to navigate around here?

Thankfully, not too many steps more and he caught that first glimpse of glitter in the lights and he knew he was right to have kept on. He couldn't help laughing at the display, and it made his heart jump a little with a thrill that any place with that decked out of a banner had to be a pretty great place. "I thiiiiink I may have found the right spot," he said, to no one in particular, lifting his camera and getting a few shots of the display from a couple of different angles before drifting into the lounge with a big, eager grin on his face.

"Smile for the camera, everyone!" he said to the people gathered there already, waving a hand and being slow on the shutter in case there were any objections, and realizing that, yeah, the camera was a good thing, because he could hide behind it a little longer to get a grip on his nerves.

"Uwhu?"

Another good reason to be thankful to be hidden by the camera, so the pretty face asking him a question like what's a camera wouldn't notice him totally gawking for a moment at being asked a question like what's a camera.

That was when he had to remind himself that he definitely wasn't in Lucin anymore. Hard to imagine there'd still be a part of Eos that was so backwater as to not know what cameras were, though.

"Uh, this!" Prompto recovered quickly, lifting the device up a little with a shake, hoping to win her over with as charming a smile as he could muster. Sure, maybe if charming could effectively be tinged with mortified anxiety. "This is a camera. It's this totally sweet machine that lets you take pictures!"

Please let her at least know what pictures were. And if not, well...it would definitely not be a chore to teach her all about it, no...

Hey, a camera? Vette was absolutely going to smile and strike a pose for that.

"Say 'Wookiee!'"

What? A little bit of spotlight now and again was good for a girl!

By the time Simon found his way through the airport to the lounge, he was tired, hungry, and just wanted to get to the school so he could fall over onto his (probably very uncomfortable) bed and have a nap.

He had a duffle over one shoulder and a suitcase being wheeled behind him; neither floated, flew, hovered, or otherwise made itself easier to carry. If he were aware enough to notice, he'd be starting to wonder why that other girl's did. In the meantime, he was going to slump against the wall and close his eyes.

So it wouldn't just be Prompto and a bunch of girls after all! Not that he would have minded such a fate, of course, not one tiny bit, but he was also a little relieved to see another dude show up. His heart couldn't take all the excitement of both the new school and the pressure of being surrounded by girls, no matter how cute.

He was about to go say hi, maybe get a picture for posterity, but faltered once he saw the other guy sit back and closed his eyes. Aww, man, he couldn't bother the guy if he was trying to get a moment's rest! So nervous, shy, and arguably polite Prompto won out in the case, figuring he'd have other chances to introduce himself later. If he just didn't completely wuss out or whatever.

Vette was kind of starting to wonder if she was the only person here who hadn't brought a bag.

Or who hadn't been expecting to end up here in the first place.

"You know, you can nap if you need to," she said, tilting her head at the boy. "Somebody can wake you up if anything interestng happens."

Hey, look! The shuttle had pulled up, and, after a brief break from the bus for Kanan to go get himself a karking cup of coffee, was absolutely going to be ready to go!

Come on, students. Try to keep shenanigans to a minimum for the exhausted looking scruffy man in the driver's seat.

"All aboard for Fandom!"

Lana blinked at the bus. "Is this school transportation, or a troop carrier?"

In her defense, most civilian transport hovered.

Having thoroughly danced around the bus a few times in an attempt to get it from every angle, (riding a bus to school! Noct was going to get a kick out of this!), including selfies, so many selfies, selfies with a bus, Prompto moved toward the door, camera still glued to his face.

"Yo, bus driver guy!"

Because what else, I ask you, would he call him??

"Smile for the camera?"

After stowing his stuff under the bus, Simon made his way onboard. He hesitated at the front, turning to the bus driver to ask, "So is everyone at this school this, uh. Enthusiastic?"

Enthusiastic was a word. If Simon wasn't already exhausted, meeting his fellow new classmates would have tired him right out.
