OOC: I had to look it up myself to make sure I didn't dream it, but it's a real thing. These paddle pop sticks Mav/Tori are using reminded me. I remember watching them when I was much younger.XD Loved it I did.
IC: Maverick looked at the squirrel, before shrugging. "I think just call it what sounds good, it looks comfortable," he suggested. He didn't really want to disturb the sleeping creature for something like that, it was too wrapped up and snuggled.
*_-----_*
Rico nodded slowly, tilting his head. "O-okay then," he said. He still felt unusually adverse to talking to anyone, not just Robert. He probably needed to if he was going to be at a school where it seemed everyone wanted to talk to you about something. "Thanks again anyway. F-for that and for talking to me. I didn't actually think anyone would want to," he said, rubbing the back of his neck a little awkwardly.

((Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he could find some nice girl in Cali and start dating her.))
Angelica nodded."Kay." She picked up her phone and checked her texts. Her face fell. She sighed and turned off her phone. "I can't believe it... Another crash?" she murmured. ((here we are!))

((oh))
"Another crash. They're dead." Angelica slumped in her chair, eyes misty. She was trying not to cry, and her face was blank. Her posture was slanted to the left.

(Okay, Inky!)~* (Lol, I will definitely have to check it out. XD)
Then it needs to either have a cute or epic name, Tori signed. It wouldn't do for their little squirrel to have a normal pet name. No, it would need to be named something that stood out.
~*
"you don't have to thank me. Like I said, I know how it feels to be the new kid," Phallon told him, shrugging off his thanks. She finished the last few bites of her lunch before gathering up her thrash to throw away whenever they headed back to class. (Yeah, it's definitely a show for you get kids but AI remember loving them. Speaking of movies for kids, are you gonna watch the new Captain Underpants movie?) Maverick nodded immediately. They couldn't name an exotic pet with an ordinary name can they! "Oh of course! Cute or epic...I think cute? Any ideas?" He asked, giving her a cheeky smirk. He wasn't the best with names, plus he used it to cheekily make her have to spell out any names she had. *_-----_* Rico quickly finished what he had left, which wasn't much, and looked around. "Uh, I think we have more time...d-do you wanna go outside for the rest of the time? Or... give me a tour?" He suggested, scratching the back of his hand nervously. Even after knowing her all day, he was still a little awkward.

"What are you talking about?" Rixon asked, frowning. Her reply gave him an idea of what had happened, but he still wasn't sure of the whole picture. "Angelica, what happened?"
(I've seen the commercials for it, but I don't think I'm going to go out and see it. It looks like they did a good job with the animation, though.)
(It shall be known as Squiggles. XD I pulled up a pet name generator, and one of the options is just C.I.A. xD Can you imagine them naming it that and telling someone, "Watch out, the C.I.A is behind you"? I will reply when we have a name picked out so they're not just sitting there silently thinking of names.)
~*
"Sure," Phallon replied. "Is there a certain place you want know where it is? Or do you want to just go explore the outdoors until the bell rings? Either is a good option because you'll be needing to know where all of it is anyway."

Angelica swallowed back the tears. Her voice was shaky as she said, "My parents got in another car crash, a fatal one. They're gone. My luck has reached the lowest point. I can't even pay the bills." Her hazel eyes shone with emotional pain.

At the sound of her voice, Mason glanced up and smiled. "Hey, Anna," he greeted. He leaned back from the notes he had been working on. "Just trying to get something accomplish on the individual projects while waiting for you. I didn't want to do anything with our main experiment until you got here. Although, I think everything's looking pretty good." The young man gestured towards the display of bacteria and over the counter drugs used on them. Each container differed in appearance, which made the data collected a little more interesting to look at. // sorry i took so long to reply!! school's super hectic wanna have him like go to the bathroom or smth and then she'll mess up his experiment? //
Anna smiled, and looked over at the petri dishes which were set up with the drugs and bacteria. "Looks awesome Mason, super excited for the total A+ we're getting on this." Anna looked over her shoulder and grinned at him, a little laugh bubbling up her throat. "I'll get out all my stuff and we can start working in a second." she sat down at the table again, pulling out her laptop and notebook and pencil. Anna tied up her hair, and leaned over her computer keyboard, typing into her password and pulling up graphs and charts for their project. Tapping her pen, she started to observe and write down differences in the culture from yesterday.

(Okay, that's a good point of action, but can you please expand on that. I need you to write more in your replies.)
(Okay, Semper! Take your time.)
(It's fine, Neomi. I understand.) (I also think that is a very nice idea.)
"I am too," Mason said. "Any good grade we can get, I'll take. While you're setting up and everything, do you mind watching my stuff? I've got to go take a bathroom break. I'll try to be back quickly, but if this mixture starts to boil, can you add the power in the blue package?" he asked. "The one in the yellow will be used for something else, so you won't have to worry about it. If you don't want to, then I can wait."
(sorry for shortness! how does one gracefully excuse themselves to the bathroom? XD)

"Well, we can always still go swimming," Daniel grinned chuckling lightly as he teased, "even if we weren't prepared."

Amelia agreed with him as he spoke. "Yeah, I think that would be wonderful." He really had great ideas and she was really happy he wanted to help the people. It wasn't everyday you found a noble who wanted to do this.

I know I'm like a teenager and I shouldn't be interested, but Captain Underpants was huge for me in my younger years! Just seeing the clips from the trailer I can remember everything. I love how the designs and everything like the shrink gun and the bad guys are exactly like the book. Sorry I rant, I just love that their making a movie of it.XD)
Actually I really like that name, I think it'll work well!XD Are you kidding me? Wha-? Why would anyone even consider C.I.A for a name?! I think it would be funny though. "Look out, C.I.A's coming to get you!".) *_-----_* Rico shrugged. "I-I was thinking we could just walk around the school grounds, get the general idea of where everything is," he said, looking down, before he tilted his head and licked his lips as he spoke again. "That is if you want to, it's just a suggestion," he added. In wonderland he always had to specify something like that, cause he didn't want people to think he was giving orders. He could be severely punished for that.

(Does Angelica not have a job?)
Rixon's blood ran cold. Her parents were dead? Memories of her parents played through his mind. All the days he spent with them at their house, having dinner with them. They had almost been his second set of parents while he was growing up. How could they be dead?
Snapping out of his own thought, he looked over at Angelica, the person who was really the victim of the news. "Oh Ange," He muttered, standing up so he could move closer to where she was sitting. His arms wrapped around her as he pulled his best friend into a hug, trying to offer as much comfort and support as he could. "And then we'd have to walk and ride back with soaked clothes," Sophia pointed out. "I'm not sure if you're aware of how uncomfortable that is."
~*
Looking back to her, he smiled. "You think?" he asked. He was used to getting his plans of good intentions shot down by the others in his court. Some were more gentle about the way they told him how it wouldn't work, while others were blunt and to the point. Still, that didn't stop him from trying. "It would be a really easy system to work out. If we can get one or two volunteers from the inn to help with the loading and transporting, that would ensure that no one is getting cheated in some way." (Okay, Inky! ) (Haha, I know what you mean. My favorite movie is Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. I get made fun of by siblings for still liking it, but the movie means a lot to me. DreamWorks knew how to make a good animated movie.)
(Now I'm torn. XD Do we go with Squiggles for the cute factor? Or C.I.A. just for the sake of them saying "C.I.A is watching you"? XD Should we try to come up with a third option?)
~*
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," Phallon said standing. "It'll do us both some good to get out of this noisy room for a few minutes. Come on, there's a door that leads outside over here."
Gathering up her thrash, the girl started to move away from the table they were sitting at. As she was carefully trying to leave, her foot caught on one of the table's leg. She didn't realize it until she was halfway to the floor. With just enough time to react, Phallon was able to soften her landing with an arm and somehow kept most of her thrash still in her grip. "Ow," she muttered, pushing herself off the floor.

((She works at Walmart for minimum wage.))
Angelica let his gentle hug comfort her, hazel eyes spilling over slightly, tears starting to run down her cheeks,heart tearing almost all the way in half. She wanted to turn back time, stop her parents from ever leaving the house and prevent this crash.

(Oh okay! I actually haven't seen that movie before, I really want to now. It really is nice revisiting childhood memories. Movies, books, games, it's refreshing. And leaning about things that was big in other people's lives. I remember also I loved Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer.XD I had a computer game of Dora.) (I think I'm going to go with Squiggles! I was going to get a third option myself, but I look up 'cute pet name generator' and the first one I visit gave me...ahem...unkidsworthy names obviously for a bf/gf. Not trying any more, so I think Squiggles, what do you suggest?) *_-----_* Rico saw her trip and the first thing he tried to do was help her up off the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked. The first thing he thought of was that it was his fault she hurt herself, but he quickly tried to ignore it. He must be overacting surely. It was just an accident is all, he had nothing to do with that. The thought though kept coming back to him no matter how hard he was trying to get them out of his head.

Rixon just held her to him. He had never comforted someone after knowing their parents had just died. But he had comforted Angelica many time in the past. He couldn't say anything to say that would help ease the pain. What could he say?
It was the wee hours of the morning when Charles left the castle. He sneaked from one of the servant entry doors and cut across the yard to the stables. He was wearing drab clothing: a plain blue tunic, leather jerkin, brown pants, and his favorite pair of hunting boots. It was quiet the contrast from the rich, ornate clothing he normally wore. Why was he dressed so simply? It was to make sure no one noticed him as he entered town.
It had been two months since Charles had ascended to the throne. Two months of being locked away inside with person after person telling him of everything that needed to be done. On top of his tall list of responsibilities, there was the hushed murmurings of when he might find himself a wife. All of it was suffocating, so today he decided he'd go incognito nd spend some time in the town settled on the south side of the castle
(Both of those shows used to be a favorite of mine too. Along with a lot that I can't remember the names of. XD)
(Haha, I got something like that too before finding an actual animal pet name list. But I like Squiggles. Tori will have a fun time having to spell it out every time. XD)
After a minute or two of brainstorming between them, Tori finally just spelled out a random name. How about just Squiggles? It was a name that really had no meaning or reasoning behind it, but it sounded cute.
~*
"Yeah, I'm fine," Phallon replied as she accepted his help in standing. "More embarrassed than anything. My foot got caught on the table and I tripped. Nothing major, just dented pride." Now standing, she brushed off her cloths for no other reason than to make sure everything was fine before looking up at Rico and offered him a smile.

((When your cat chooses your mom over you))
Angelica sighed sadly. She was slightly embarrassed to be seen crying, as she's never cried in front of people. She always managed to hold it in for in her room. She couldn't do anything to save her parents. She felt helpless, and she hated it.

(Well that's understandable, they are from your childhood after all.XD) (Lol at least I wasn't the only one.XD Also yeah she will have a hard time. She might have to come up with a new symbol or shorten the name to make it easier.) Maverick chuckled as he watched her spell it out. She was going to have a difficult time with that name, he could see it, but he did like the name himself too so he nodded, looking down at the small sleeping creature. "Yeah, I think that will work perfectly. Squiggles," he said, repeating the name in his 'epic movie trailer' voice, amused by how truly innocent and cute it was. *_-----_* Rico sent her a smile back. He couldn't help it, he just did. Slowly, he nodded in understanding, only Letting go of her hand when he knew that she was completely stable and wasn't going to fall again. "Good good. At-at least you're not hurt," he said carefully, his eyes darting over her just to make sure he couldn't see anything like scratches or grazes.

(Well, you brought up something that shouldn't just be blown over. I think we would have to work our way to a spot that we can skip to. Because right now, our character haven't done enough to bring on a skip. They've talked for maybe twenty minutes.)
By the time he made it into the town, the sun had fully risen above the trees. Charles rode down the streets slowly, taking in the sights and sounds of the morning. Bird songs were replaced with the rattle of carts and the steady stream of conversation as people went around their daily routine. A few people glanced his way, and he offered a friendly smile and wave in greeting. Hopefully they would see him as a visitor not looking for trouble.
When the streets became more crowded, the young man dismounted from the saddle. It was too risky to continue riding through town. What if someone accidentally feel before him? That would do him no good to cause injuries to the townsfolk. So, he took the reigns and led his mare on foot. This was actually better. He could easily meet the other people's eyes, could speak with them freely. Granted, not a lot of people took the time to speak with the newcomer, which was understandable. However, when Charles did stop to ask directions to the market, the man who answered him seemed to be kind enough. Thanking the man, the young king continued on his way, trying to keep out of everyone else's way.
(I'm sure she'll think of something. XD)
Tori giggled slightly. Being the one who was going to literally spell out its name all the time, was already figuring out how to create a name sign for the squirrel. It shouldn't be too hard. After all, she had created name signs for nearly everyone she had dealings with on a regular basis. One more wouldn't be too much trouble. Squiggles it is, she signed happily.
~*
"It's going to take more than a table to hurt me," Phallon assured him. "Now, come on. If we're going to go explore outside, we don't need to waste time here." And just like that, the girl brushed off the incident as if it had never happened. People tripped and fell all the time. It was normal. So why should she waste time investigating it when she already knew what happened?
