Rydia
It was April the 1st and Rydia was standing at the airport with her ticket in hand and starting to become agitated. She felt certain like there was something she'd forgotten, but she couldn't for the like of her think what!
There were no people here yet but Rydia guessed that was because she was super early (and super excited). It wasn't every day that an admin raided the funds of the YWS piggy bank in order to take every single member of YWS on a fully expensed vacation. She could still hardly believe that @Nate had agreed.
"Yeah and when is this vacation taking place?"
"Oh, I don't know. The first of April?"
"The first?"
"Yeah, that would work."
"Haha. Right. Yeah, sure. Take whatever money you need."
He'd kept on laughing right the way through the door but Rydia just figured that he was in a good mood or something. Why else would he have authorised this trip?!
Impatience finally got the better of her and Rydia lugged her suitcase over to the seating area and flipped out her mobile. She searched for @Lumi through the YWS phone index and then put the phone to her ear.
"Hey Captain, I wondered when you'd be calling."
"You got the tickets then?"
There was a laugh on the other end. "Oh I got them alright."
"Then you're on your way down?"
That laughter again. Maybe it was some kind of disease and all of YWS was catching it. Rydia moved the phone slightly away from her ear just in case.
"I threw them in the bin."
"You did WHAT?"
"They were real good fakes. I mean, I even looked up all the holograms online and they were nearly perfect. The colouring was off a little-"
"-That was your monitor-"
"-but if they'd come from anyone else I'd have totally believed it. This is your best prank ever."
Rydia was silent for a moment and then she realised that was what she'd forgotten. It was April Fool's Day and she hadn't thought up a prank for the site.
"It's April Fool's Day. I forgot."
There was a pause and then on the other end Lumi's voice was cautious: "So that ticket-"
"I'm no artist," Rydia replied. "But it explains why Nate said I could spend whatever money I wanted."
There was another pause on the other end and then Rydia thought she heard some kind of commotion. Some bumping, then some rustling and heavy breathing.
"I've got sellotape and the flight's not for three more hours, right?"
"Just get here."
Rydia hung up the phone and scowled at it in disappointment. She wondered how many people would come anyway and how many she could phone in time. She thought she saw @AndrewRayne stepping through the doors and waved to get his attention, even as she pressed the phone to her ear again.
"@QueenAnne? Yeah it's me, Rydia. Yeah, yeah a really good prank, only the thing is..."
