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.

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.

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.

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.

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ wait, so Portalocity doesn't lose luggage, but its PASSENGERS? that's a whole new level of incompetency. i'm almost impressed

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Oh, you have no idea. Be impressed, trust me.
JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth It did lose my luggage once! It got to town a day before I did, even.

elizalizziebennet: @JainaSolo_ ... I will never bitch at USAir again. (Except I will, because it's USAir.)
elizalizziebennet: @JainaSolo_ still not convinced this island isn't a reality show practical joke. survive CrazyLand, win $100K?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebennet If it's a reality show I'm still waiting on my prize. You must be new.

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ a week. I had magic lightning hands last weekend, my roommate is blue, and I'm somehow four months in the future.
elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ I've been told this is nothing. Um. Yay?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Yeah, you've only just touched on the weird stuff. You get used to it.
JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth I'm from space, btw. #probablynothelping

[ihaveavideoblog.livejournal.com]

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ ... no. Not helping per se.
elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ no offense. You seem very nice and now I'm coming off as speciesist. Planet-ist? World-ist???
elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ is it any planet I've heard of & if so is it nice? #probablyhallucinating #mightaswellenjoyit

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Probably not, and it's ok. It's like a really amped up Washington DC with aliens. And more traffic.

She'd been here long enough to figure out the best way to describe Coruscant.

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth Like I said, you get used to it.

[ihaveavideoblog.livejournal.com]

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ does it make me a nerd if that sounds really cool? I was in Model UN in high school. so really I'm a nerd either way

(fleeing for food, back later!)

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth It's not my thing, but I can see why people would think it's cool.
JainaSolo_: @elizalizziebeth I'd tweet pictures, but I'm at the North Pole.

[ihaveavideoblog.livejournal.com]

elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ are you at least somewhere WARM, and not just ... standing around in the snow???
elizalizziebeth: @JainaSolo_ can't imagine the NP has a thriving tourist industry. You never hear about package deals to go there.
