The Perk, Wednesday Evening, After Workshops

[soldtoarmenians]

Here would be one Xander Harris, with a gym bag over his shoulder because he believed things like 'you'll only be gone a day from your POV' like he believed 'it probably won't rain pudding tomorrow.' Standing just inside the doorway to the coffee shop with a half-drunk cup of mocha in his hand, and a Bridge Carson next to him. As you do.


[Bridge's thread is locked because they're leaving shortly; post is open for all your caffeiney needs.]

"So how does this work, anyway?" Bridge asks. "I've only ever travelled by wormhole, not magic portal thingy."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander tilts his head, then shrugs. "Swirly hole opens up and you walk through it. Or sometimes it sucks you through it if it's in a hurry. Wormhole by any other name, I figure, except magic instead of science."

"Oh," Bridge nods. "Well, that makes sense. And we're gonna be gone for a day but we won't get *back* until Sunday? Weird."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Yeah, I tried to ask, in between the six or seven 'WTF' e-mails I sent Willow before Iogged off, but no answer," Xander says, rolling his eyes. "She's hiding. As well she should." He shrugs again. "Might be something to do with going further back than the point I left from? But who knows."

"Could be," Bridge says thoughtfully, with a speculative glint in his eyes and a tone of voice that suggests he wants to look in to this further.

Xander looks at his watch again, frowning. "I guess we'll find out; it's almost 6. I hope she meant 6 six o'clock Fandom Time and not six California time."

Xander walks in to the Perk, in search of caffiene, as one does.

And pauses when he catches sight of the couple standing by the door.

"Oh," he blinks. "Uh, hi?" Oh yes, this wasn't awkward at all.

Xander moves his coffee cup away from his lips in preparation for saying - well, the world may never know. He sure as hell doesn't know (though it probably involves the word 'um' and some flailing, we can assume), and just as he opens his mouth to um, HI! BIG SWIRLY HOLE!

That's apparently in a hurry, because it's pretty big with the big swirly sucking.

So big that as well as Bridge, who's standing closest, it also sucks in all the available Xanders in the vicinity.

With a *pop*, the portal disappears, and the three of them with it. Which is kind of the big swirly suck for the Xander who wasn't planning on taking SATs today.
