30 Minute Post

The attendant yells next, and a man steps forward and shows his documents, and then the next person  is called and so on and so forth. Check in lines are usually longer at busy ports, but today must be a slow day. The line stretches across the floor of the terminal, like a long endless rope, but soon it will be your turn.

It's your first day in the city of Lenos, but you've prepared yourself for the destination, because it's not everyday that a person decides to uproot their life and take it elsewhere, well atleast you don't. You look at your wrist. The time is 10 am. You look ahead, and see that a new check-in window has opened. and the line seems to be moving faster now. As the minutes go by, you're soon at the head of the line. and the attendant calls you to the window, so you hurriedly pull your luggage along and head to the window.

You greeted by a blazing beauty. Blazing as in, she is quite literally enveloped in a dim glow of orange and red hues. This is your first time meeting a Sol in person. Although she looks human, her radiance and orange skin tone are a dead give away. You're surprised alittle, but you remember it's common for different species to coexist in this city.

"Hello citizen. Glory to Ker, and i hope you're doing oh so well on this fantastic day." She says and sports a smile. Her teeth are practically beaming.

“Um hello to you too.” You say as brightly as you could muster.

“I’ll need to see some documents before I can let you into Lenos.”


“Oh right, of course,” You compose yourself and take the papers from the inside of your jacket, and pass them to the attendant. She takes them with that smile still plastered on her face and quickly gives them a look over. She then turns back to you, then to the documents, and her smile fades into an expression of confusion.
