Miles exited the terminal, moving to pick up his luggage. Pausing
to sit down he glanced a his watch. The flight had been delayed a
bit, but it seemed like they arrive on time despite that. He wasn't
quite sure wht he would be looking for, so he figured he'd stay put
for a minute or two.
Lilly walked down with her extra bag on her arm as she left the
terminal. She walked towards the baggage claim and sat down on an
empty bench and watched as the bags started to come down the line
from the plane.
Skull found the familiar brown suitcase pass by. Quickly standing
up she walked over to it and picked it up. Quickly moving it out of
the way, she texted to her mom 'here safe and sound'
Kris opened his eyes. The plane was coming in for a landing.
Groaning a little, he sat forwards and pulled a small carry on bag
out from under his seat. Opening it, he checked that all the
contents were still there and sound, then closed it again. As the
plane rolled towards the dock, he unbuckled himself from the seat
and stretched as best he could. He had no other baggage to grab
until he was at the baggage claim carousel, so he only needed to
wait now.
Skyla smiled when she recieved a thumbs up emote from her mum. It
was finally great to see a message that wasn't just 'Bus' and
'okay'. Grabbing her suitcase she walked off
Fahren
Slowly, a pair of amber eyes opened and focused on her
surroundings, though they were hidden by black sunglasses, allowing
everything to have a dull tint. Fahren Dilia had been in the
airport for seven hours now, having arrived on the only flight
avaliable for a week. Sitting up, for a moment, she rendered
herself confused as to why on Earth she was asleep in an airport.
Shortly after, though, she realised that there were other people
around her - children around her age. A school, perhaps? It all
clicked into place then, in the fuzzy brain of the Australian. She
sat up, clutching her coat closer around her slim body. Why did it
have to be so cold here?
Kris stepped off the plane, his joints aching from the long flight.
Glancing around, he blinked the remaining sleep from his eyes and
stretched better. Straightening his back, he glanced around and
started towards the baggage claim. His strides were long and
purposeful, his jetlag already having worn off. A new time zone
would be difficult to master, but he knew he would get it. He'd
gotten plenty of sleep on the plane, as he'd been up the entire
night before packing everything he might need. He was almost
tempted to grab his MP, but thought better of it, as he was
entering a new country to go to a school. A weapon would probably
be frowned upon. Sighing, the Russian boy secured his carry on
tightly to his arm and continued towards the baggage carousel.
Ah, so you, O Mysterious
and Curious Soul, have come to seek answers in the abyss?
Skyla made it to the pick up zone and looked around. Grabbing her
phone again she looked at the text she recieved from one of her
mom's friends, who taught at the academy.
Taryn got herself ready to go pick up the new students from the
airport. Her frazzled hair and tired eyes did not show how excited
she was to meet her new 'kids'. She laughed to herself as she got
ready and put on a bit of makeup. Having new students was always
fun for her as she never knew what she would get each year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilly sighed to herself as she found her bag on the carrousel and
grabbed it off. "Wonder where everyone is and who needs to come get
us?" she mumbled the question to herself as she walked towards the
entrance of the airport.
Stifling a yawn, Kris watched as a few more bags slid onto the
baggage carousel. Stepping forwards, he grabbed his as soon as it
landed. A compact, hard shelled crimson suitcase. Not bothering to
pull the handle up from it (some could argue he didn't know there
was a handle), he picked up the baggage and stepped away from the
carousel, headed towards the entrance of the airport.
Ah, so you, O Mysterious
and Curious Soul, have come to seek answers in the abyss?
Taryn finished getting ready and jumped into the van to go pick up
the kids from the air port. "I hope they're not too mad at me that
I'll be a bit late," she mumbled to herself as she started the van
and drove off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilly got her phone out of her pocket and started to play some
random game she downloaded while she was on the flight. It was a
mind numbing game that needed no thought since all she had to do
was hold a button down.
Kris reached into the small bag that was strapped to his left arm,
pulling out a watch before strapping the bag closed once again.
Attaching the watch, he pressed two buttons and changed a setting,
changing it to the correct time zone and then changing it to
military time. Reaching back into the bag strapped to his arm, he
removed a paper that had a presumed schedule, written in Russian.
After a moment, he checked his watch and frowned a little. Glancing
out the glass entryway of the airport, he wondered if the van to
pick them up was just pulling in... Or just leaving the school. A
scowl appeared on his face.
After getting food Skyla waited outside the airport. She was glad
it wasn't raining because rain in New Zealand was very common in
winter. Then she remembered she was on the northern hemisphere and
seasons were different
Taryn sped all the way to the airport and thankfully didn't get
caught with how fast she was going. She pulled up to several kids
standing by the entrance and rolled down the passenger window,
"Hello! Are you all here to come to Explorer Academy?" she asked.
She hoped she got the right kids cause she had made a mistake in
the past of grabbing another school's kids thinking they were to go
to the academy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilly looked up from her game and nodded and walked towards the van
with her luggage.
Kris didn't seem amused by the speed at which the van had pulled
up. "Mayum- Mayum..." He paused, working his tongue to try and
pronounce the word correctly with his accent. "Ma'am, you are five
minutes late. You have good excuse for this, da?" Stepping
forwards, the military boy examined Taryn closely. He didn't seem
impressed, but he did seem to take inventory of every aspect of her
face, clearly imprinting it on his mind for future reference.
