Saturday, November 24- Live from the North Pole

[solo_sword]

Jaina had decided to spend a few days back home while the island was quiet for the holiday, since it felt sort of weird not to go up and back between two places all the time. It was a good visit, too, not as awkward-feeling as it had been before with everyone checking up on her, so she had no complaints.

Until she was trying to come back, anyhow. Apparently thanks to airline strikes a lot of people had booked portals instead at the last minute on an already super busy weekend, which meant she'd been bumped from her first portal and forced to take another one that had ended her up in an Old West ghost town before getting here. Where she was going to have to wait for at least another hour, and the worst part was there was no ticket counter here for her to threaten somebody.

@JainaSolo_: At North Pole. Fewer elves than expected.
@JainaSolo_: ...Are gnomes and elves related? Asking for a potentially threateny friend.

@silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ No, they are not! Gnomes are far less civilized creatures.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @silvertongued I find that absolutely impossible to believe.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ are you the expert on the matter?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: Considering the amount of #Portalocityfail I've been subjected to, gonna say I'm close to an expert.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ I have won coin off the elves who currently inhabit Asgard, so I shall claim to be the wiser this pair.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Sorry, who are you again?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: The name's usually a hint for most people.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Guess I didn't care enough to keep paying attention.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: Then why are you @ing me...?

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Your message popped up on the feed and I don't have anything better to do. I mean, really, what do you think this IM platform was invented
@a_tton: for?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: To appease narcissists and to allow people like me to complain.
JainaSolo_: Gotta admit, I've got a point.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: I'm failing to see how 'appeasing narcissists' and 'entertaining me' are mutually exclusive.
@a_tton: What's an elf anyway?

[weetuskenraider]

TahiriVeila: @JainaSolo_ NOT AGAIN.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @TahiriVeila I'm going to sic Jag on them too. THEY BROUGHT THIS ON THEMSELVES.

[weetuskenraider]

TahiriVeila: @JainaSolo_ It would be awful for me to suggest that I do have a colony of technology-hating, warlike beings right here.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @TahiriVeila I'd rather skip that part. Though I do understand the technology hate juuust a little bit atm. #basicallyonhoth

[weetuskenraider]

TahiriVeila: @JainaSolo_: Ew. Ew ew ew. Please don't lose anything to frostbite?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @TahiriVeila PROMISE. Why do I always end up in the freezing places btw?

[weetuskenraider]

TahiriVeila: @JainaSolo_ Because that runs in the family too, I guess.

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ okay I hate that I have to even ask this but does this mean Santa's real? If so, is he evil?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Mostly I see a lot of snow & ice, so I'm figuring Santa's still not real. But we do know the North Pole exists now!

[ihaveavideoblog.livejournal.com]

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ can we check off "no" for the abominable snowman and those Coke-drinking polar bears, too?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth So far, but I'm not really planning on exploring. Portal will probably leave w/o me if I do.
JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Oh wait I've seen Coke drinking polar bears before so that's actually a thing.

[ihaveavideoblog.livejournal.com]

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ come to think of it, abom snowman might not be North Pole. Why are you at the Pole BTW?
elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ & in that case, I'm surprised no one from Pepsi tried to recruit penguins as a counterpoint.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth #Portalocity kriffed everything up and I'm taking the long way back to Fandom. At least its not taking 3 days this time.
