 KAGISO “KAGI” ADEBAYO
son of kiara and kovu
"So they're kind of like long-distance, twice-removed cousins, the euphorbia and the cacti. People just think they are the same because they're very similar. This one didn't have spines yet, but it would've grown some." He didn't even stop for a breathe before continuing on his rant, since he had to answer every question thoroughly. He could talk about it for hours without stopping for air.
Talking about the euphorbia somehow made the loss hurt less. Probably because he knew that he could bring her another one, later, and she would actually know all about them and how to take care of them. It could even be one of the sprouts from the salvaged seeds. Plus, this was one of his favorite plants, so he wanted her to know all about it. "They are both stem succulents, though. The euphorbia evolved to survive in the Sahara, to hold water in their cells and not grow leaves. The spines protect them from animals wanting the plant juice inside."
As much as he wanted to call it cacti juice, he could not. It was a shame. It was a fun term for actual cacti juice. Not that anyone should drink from cacti. There were some bad symptoms from doing that. Kagi quickly continued to answer Rosie's questions, but only after taking a second to dispel bad memories. "The seeds are actually brown, and some have spots on them. They actually remind me of roly poly bugs."
Kagi continued his teaching lesson, as if he had not just gotten off work after spending all day helping some guy buy a flower bouquet that actually meant something and wasn't pretty things stuck together in a meaningless mess. "Another common name for these is spurge, but that's an ugly name so I stick with the scientific name." Spurge was a stupid name for a beautiful plant, and Kagi would fight and die on that hill. He wasn't about to degrade a plant just because someone didn't want to say euphorbia all the time.

 Adrian Beaufort Antoine Bête
son of belle and beast By all accounts and purposes, Adrian was absolutely biased when it came to whose side he was on. But, he would like to say, he was far more inclined to Hono’s thinking here. Riet couldn’t just call Maxie names when Maxie was great and helpful and trying his best, plus he was being carefully monitored in a place for people to walk. Petting the little bot out of what Adrian supposed was comfort, he stood up slightly with some concern on things potentially devolving into a fight. Which would not be good because Adrian had like… an 80% chance bet that Riet could probably beat them up. Their only defense at the moment were the pokey things atop his head that… weren’t really that pokey in the first place. Which meant that if it came to it, they’d need to be ready to run first. Well. Who knew what would happen next. |

 Aisha June Agrabah
daughter of jasmine and aladdin
At the sound of her boyfriend's voice, Aisha relaxed. The first person was definitely not someone who would judge her for a little orange dust. Plus, he was slowly coming to her side about being earlier, if this was any indication. It was possibly just her own attitude rubbing off on him. But then he brought out boba, and it was all the explanation she needed. Her eyes lit up and she made grabbing motions until it was safely in her hands. "I love you for this. Seriously. Take whatever you want. Do you want my kingdom?" She would never actually trade her kingdom for blueberry boba, and Teagan knew this, but it was the best way to show her appreciation for his gift.
That was her line of thought, until she actually drank some of her fruity milk tea and decided, yes, she would give him the kingdom if he supplied her with this drink every single day. He could have whatever he wanted, so long as he started her day with this. She would kill someone if it meant she got this drink every day. She had other reasons why she would kill someone, but she would straight up kill someone for this drink. "You are the first one here, but I'm sure the others will arrive soon."
She was proven right, when Madison and Cocoa burst in the door. It was really Madison doing the door smashing, which had made Aisha flinch, but Cocoa wasn't far behind. The girls had obviously come from a coffee shop, although she wasn't certain why they had been together. As far as she knew, they weren't friends by any definition of the word. "Please be nicer on our doors, Ms Mouse." She smiled placatingly, not trying to cause an issue but rather solve one. "Ms. Potts, I suggest you leave earlier if you would like to walk slower."
The second they had walked in the door, a switch had flipped. She wasn't Aisha, she was President Agrabah. It was important for her to maintain a general aura of respect while holding her position. It's not like she usually went out and partied, but she had gotten a large portion of the vote for a reason. People knew her, respected her, liked her. Her reputation was important. She set her boba down, considering she had almost dropped it when Madison walked in and would like to avoid that if any of the others decided to make a similar entrance.
Which is exactly what happened, when loud music started playing outside the door. Aisha couldn't even be surprised, she knew about Khuno's reputation of being cool. Aisha knew she was popular, but she hadn't felt the need to pull dramatics near the level that Khuno did since she was in middle school. "Mr. Roca, your music isn't necessary here. Ms. Brown, please be respectful of your fellow council members." Even though Aisha really couldn't blame her for not wanting to be associated with such behavior. It was kind of lame.
Finally, the last of the large council arrived. She was fairly confused that Hitomi was the last to arrive. She knew how much the little freshman was looking forward to her position, and how much effort she would likely put into it. When Aisha saw Cappucita, a few things clicked into place and she understood how Hitomi had been so late. It was a fairly easy assessment to make, all things considered. She nodded in acknowledgement, but did not return the excited sentiment. "If everyone will take their seats, we can began."

RIETILLIOUS "RIET" MAXIMUS
son of riggles and reptillus maximus
Riet had to laugh. This entire situation was laughable. He almost ended up with a robot inserted into his spleen and he's the one getting barked at? Not a chance. "Hamada, your little metal pet failed your simulation. Next time, before taking him out into the field, you test him in simulations to avoid situations like this." Riet wasn't a scientist, he would never be a scientist, but he knew better than to take untested products out into the real world.
He was probably being rude, but again: robot dog to the spleen. It wasn't really the way he wanted to go. Here lies Rietillious Maximus, gone too soon, killed via metal dog. That would be the worst memorial ever. He wasn't about to stand by at let this sort of thing happen. He had to repeat himself again: Safety! Hazard! What if it had been one of the girls skating by? A lot of them wouldn't have the core strength needed to brace themselves for the fall.
"Have you never been in this courtyard? People skate through here all the time. Mei Long used to do tricks off the benches." Riet stared at her like she was crazy. No, if it hadn't been for the break up with Aisha, he would've never been skating this path. Part of that was because Long used to skate here. He didn't want to be compared with her more than he already did so himself. That didn't negate his point, however, considering she did this fully knowing that her little pet would be in the way of others.
Part of the reason Riet continued to fight was that he knew, objectively, he would win. He could definitely take both of them in a fight without hesitation. Yes, there was a factor of the Bete kid being a Bete, but so long as he didn't throw the first punch, he was in the clear. Neither of them were actually going to start something, and he wasn't stupid enough to do so himself. No, he would stand there, look intimidating and get the Hamada girl to back off. She made a mistake and needed to admit to it.

Honoka "Hono" Vienna Hamada Daughter of Vanellope and Hiro Hamada
Maxie had not, in fact, failed the simulation. Far from it. And Riet implying that her son -- that she -- had failed just made the oldest Hamada angrier. Crossing her arms, she refused to back away from the situation. Riet may have thought he had the situation won, that she'd back away, but she wouldn't. She wouldn't throw a punch at him, even if he hit first, but she wasn't going to passively sit aside and let her work and her reputation get tarnished by a guy that was such a coward that he literally changed his entire commute to avoid his ex.
That was failure.
"Oh, so Maxie failed, huh? I'm glad you're such an expert in things like healthcare and robotics, because I never would have realized that on my own. Thank you for your infinite pool of wisdom." That was sarcasm, because Hono was solidly sure -- she would even bet her next bot fight winnings on it -- that she knew more about both fields of research than Riet did. "And yeah, the difference is that Mei could apparently see. She never wiped out when I was testing my projects." It was immature of her to jab at him again like that, pointing out that, next to Mei, he sucked. But the dinosaur boy had already made her angry, and it was probably going to take an actual intervention of some sort to get the tiny computer girl to back off.
Maxie's sensor tail wagged when Adrian patted his head, and he made an ": D " face at the horned boy. He was programmed to react positively towards petting and pats, so he did. |

VIZAZI VELI OKEYAN
daughter of vitani and surak
After seeing her cousin, Vizazi decided to seek out his brother. Eventually, she would get him to back down on the idea of running the Lion Guard. As the heir of her mother, it should totally be her. No one had done what Kion did before. He gave up his family's right to the Lion Guard. Not to mention, Uncle Kovu was apart of the royal bloodline now so she should be as well. Her mother didn't exactly care about it to the point that she did, but she did understand where Vizazi was coming from.
She had grown up in her family's shadows as well. Instead of having Nuka to talk to, Vizazi had no one. Kagi was heir to the Pridelands, Kandoro was heir to the Lion Guard and Komboa was heir to the Night Pride. All of her cousins had some big role to play in their lives. Vizazi had nothing of the sort. It gave a girl some issues, and no one had any right to judge her for them. When someone grows up around special people, it's not a far jump for them to want to be special as well.
Her plan was to totally jump Kandoro and defeat him into giving up the Lion Guard. She could probably take him. She had agile against his strength. The timing had to be right, though. Kagiso definitely could not be in Auradon when she did this. He would kick her out of family meetings. She couldn't have that, where on earth was she supposed to get good food if not for family get togethers? There was no way she was giving that up. She just had to wait it out, until everything was set in place.
For now, she was going to visit him and pretend to be on his side. She wouldn't stop until she got herself to the top, and if it meant sucking up to Kandoro sometimes, she would do it. It was for her own family's legacy, not to be the descendants on the sidelines. Her mother had literally grown up in Kovu's shadow, but they did have a fairly decent relationship. She could do that with Kandoro, until she could figure out how to get what she wanted. "Potato!" Vizazi yelled towards her cousin, when she finally found him.

Aubrey Brielle Bête
Daughter of Beast and Belle
"Then we go from secret relaxing royals club to sketchy club of people that are probably doing something sketchy... I like it," Bre said when Celine suggested the idea. Probably wouldn't be good for their reputations - especially Alexander - but it was fine. "Or Alexander is right too. Nobody would probably make a big fuss about two siblings hanging out and ordering pizza." There was the question about why they were hanging out in a classroom instead of the other various places on campus but...
Maybe Bre was overthinking this. She tended to so that a lot, especially when it came to the social aspects of being a teenager. Which is why her friend group had shrunk down to basically her siblings, Lunaire, Celine, and Rosie.
Alexander's second question was also an important one, but Bre answered it with a large smile towards her brother. "Wise, smart, very old, practically ancient Alexander, is there ever a bad time for pizza?" she asked. Yes, her brother was only two years older than her, but Bre had no problem telling him he was ancient. "At least, that's what today's youth believes about pizza."
She shook her head. "We'll figure out how to actually obtain the pizza when it comes. We have... I don't know how long pizza delivery usually takes but we'll have some amount of time." She logged onto the computer at the front of the room and opened up the pizza delivery website. "Any thoughts on what you guys might want? I'm fine with almost anything. Just absolutely no mushrooms. I refuse." She tried not to be picky. She really did. But she just couldn't do mushrooms.
She looked out over Alexander and Celine.
"And I'm definitely getting breadsticks. We deserve it," she commented, adding the breadsticks to their order as she waited on pizza topping ideas. "And do we want soda? We could get a bottle of Pepsi or Sprite or Dr. Pepper to share..."

Rosemarie “Rosie” Estelle Fitzherbert
daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert
Okay, maybe Kagi should breathe for a second. She knew how in-depth he got about plants, and it was endearing, but she also didn't think it would be a good idea to explain to a passing teacher about why he was passed out in the hallway, either. And it was possible, too. One time she'd gone on a tangent -- this time about lovebirds to someone she had a class with -- and forgot to breathe in between sentences. She'd gotten lightheaded, and passed out. Well...getting lightheaded surprisingly wasn't the reason, directly, that she had passed out. That was due in part to cracking her head against her desk.
Whoops, haha.
Needless to say, she touched his arm, before gently trying to remind him of this. "Breathe, Kagi." She understood his enthusiasm. Plants were beautiful creatures and worth excited rants about. But maybe not worth the passed out lion prince in the hallway. "I can't pick you up if you pass out." She teased lightly, even if that was a serious fact. Physical hobbies and the path to fitness had never been the Corona princess's strong suit, for sure. She was friendly, a good listener, liked plants and sweets, and could start a solid fruit-based cult if she ever got it in her head to do so.
He was right, though, about the plant's name. Euphorbia sounded like the name of an elven princess, or a kind enchantress in the woods that helped a hero in their time of need. Or...or... "Calling them euphorbia makes them sound like really happy plants." She nodded along, before adding, "Spurge kind of sounds..." She wasn't going to call it disgusting, since that seemed like an insult to the little pseudo-cactus. "You know right after it rains and it's all fresh and stuff outside, and there's watery puddles on the ground? Spurge is kind of like the sound that happens when you hop into one." That sounded much more complimentary to Rosie, even if it wasn't happiness or a friendly neighborhood enchantress.

KAGISO “KAGI” ADEBAYO
son of kiara and kovu
His eyebrows furrowed together when he processed what Rosie had said. Then he noticed the burning in his lungs. Right, breathing. Kagi relaxed, closing his eyes for a second before doing a quick exercise to restart a normal breathing pattern. He really needed to do something nice for his girlfriend later. She had totally just saved him from passing out.
No part of his body had gone off in warning bells. No part of his brain had reminded him. Kagi shook his head to himself, mostly reminding himself not to be so stupid. No one should have to remind him that he needs to breathe. He had graduated high school! He had a stable job and was mostly financially independent! Still, he had just forgotten how to breathe. Pretty stupid.
"You should give yourself more credit," He told her with a lazy smile. She was completely right and he would've been lying on the floor until he woke up again, but he wasn't about to say that to her face. Even if he didn't have complete faith in her, he was going to act like he did. Anything else would've been utterly rude. He had to support her, even when no one else did! Even when everyone, including herself, was against her! Also: he needed to thank her. His smile turned more genuine as he spoke, "Thanks for the reminder. I needed it."
Kagi was awed by her description of spurge. He shouldn't be, since this was Rosie and she was the ultimate good person, but he was. He couldn't help it. She found beauty in everything. He had called it ugly and she had related it to one of the best feelings in the world. Jumping in puddles as a kid was a favored past time, especially with how little it rained in the Pridelands.
"You, Miss Fitzherbert, never cease to amaze me." He could be laying it on a little thick, but no one should really blame him. Rosie had just worked a miracle and actually saved the name spurge. There was no way that he was going to call euphorbia spurge, but Kagi did hate the title less than before. "You find the good in absolutely everything."

 SaNG CHI ANDaM
son of sun park and councilor andam
"Hey everybody and welcome back the dysfunction that is—Nope, this is vlog."
"What's up! Sang Gang!" Sang stared into the camera for a second before letting out a rather large sigh. He had to roll his eyes when he told the camera, "I'm obviously doing great today."
"What's up, Sang Gang??" Finally, Sang was feeling the vibes of this take. "We are out in San Fransysko, hoping to find a magic spot to show off some of the easiest ways to do tricks in crowded areas without hurting lame pedestrians!" He had a grand smile, making sure to keep up energy for his video.
He had spent so much time in school focusing on places in Auradon that he never tried to do this kind of video until he was home. He also just, generally got distracted by things happening at that place that he never had the time he needed to put into his videos. In the last few months, his channel had grown twice the size it had been while he was in high school.
Sang had committed to making three videos a week during the summer, and he was about to start college, so he was trying to stock up on as many videos possible. Some of these ideas were nonsense, but it took his mind off the stress currently crawling up his spine. Making videos made him happy.
Not that he wasn't happy while he was doing science stuff, but it had been years and Sang still hadn't figured out what type of science he wanted to do. Biochemistry was his favorite, but that didn't mean he wanted to do it for the rest of his life.

Emilia Arendelle-Bjorgman
daughter of anna and kristoff
Emilia was ecstatic about being back to school. Hanging out with her family and copious amounts of reindeer was fun, but she loved her school. All her friends were around, all the time. Boarding school was the best decision she had ever made. She got to meet copious amounts of new people, non-Arendelle people, at school. Everyone had different lives. Her classes last year had been stuffed with fun people!
This was the biggest reason that Emilia didn't go to the Isle. She also probably wouldn't have been allowed if she had even thought to ask, but she hadn't. She didn't want to go anywhere without Iver, who was currently following her side. Not to mention the people in Auradon who mattered as well. Honestly, there were too many reasons why she needed to stay for her to have ever concerned it enough to ask her parents.
She couldn't regret her decision, as she walked through the halls. She adored her life here. Leaving it behind just would've caused mass amounts of tears and hurt. In Auradon, everything was bright and wonderful. So much happened in the city. Speaking of which, she had something she needed to do. Unfortunately: She needed help to do it.
Instead of using her energy to run around, acting crazy and weird, Emilia just pulled out her phone and called Matthias. She was, however, still very energetic so she ended up bouncing in place and saying, "Pick up! Pick up! Pick up! Pick up!" Iver let out a bleep when Emilia started to spin, quickly moving out of the way, since he was used to Emilia's antics.

 Bellonso Stormwyn Sour-Dough
son of sour bill, wynnchel, and duncan School should be starting today. High school, that was. Bellonso never really bothered to learn college schedules and start times since he didn’t have plans to head into any of those places. But it was still oddly jittery and weird all in all. A knowledge that he should be somewhere, but was here hanging around the city. No offense to the game, but playing it with the bots was not nearly as fun as it was with the real players. And there wasn’t much to do otherwise in there, not to mention the likelihood of a lack of people playing the game given school was starting again. It reminded him that he probably needed to find a job or some way to make money and survive if he wanted to live in the non-virtual world. Cause, technically he could be all fine and dandy and stuck in the virtual world where no one but the other sins could actually find him. He’d be alive technically, but it’d be boring for the obvious reasons. Sure, today in particular he wasn’t aiming to find someone willing to hire him, but he was still out and about. So of course curiosity would strike when witnessing someone standing in front of a camera out and about. He didn’t want to seem weird for watching this person attempt multiple times to talk to a camera, but he hadn’t exactly noticed a bunch of bloggers, which was really insane since it was a large place and maybe Bellonso was just blind. But hey, he found a person now, and curiosity was deepling overwhelming the idea that sometimes it’s best to just leave a person to do their normal thing. Who knew him as being entirely sane though? Not a bunch of people at any rate, which would explain why he sorta raised his hand and started waving it in a hello sort of way. “Did I hear a magic spot and tricks? Do you need an assistant for the day who is… probably vaguely annoying, but can be somewhat funny if needed!”
Ah Bellonso might regret this but oh well! |

Rosemarie “Rosie” Estelle Fitzherbert
daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert
"Someone clearly has to remember," Rosie pointed out patting his arm with a grin. Kagi was a very smart guy, and she was aware of that much. No one that wasn't a smart guy was going to work around so many plants and memorize all the facts about them, after all. That took a lot of brainpower, so that was definitely proof of the situation and Kagi's brains. Still, though, he got really excited and passionate about the issues and subjects he cared about, so that basic functions occasionally just took the backseat to his topics. It didn't mean her boyfriend was stupid, he just had his priorities change from time to time. "I'm better at remembering than lifting, I have to admit." People were good at different things, and Rosie was simply not good at lifting heavy objects. But that was okay.
When the topic changed to her optimism, she looked happy with herself. "Well, someone had to come up with the word spurge, and they probably put a lot of thought into it, right? That's just what I think of when I think of the word, is all." That was her theory on the word "spurge", and it's origins, at least. The initial creator of the word may have had something different in mind, but that was what came to mind with her. Mud puddles. She had no idea what made someone name a pseudo-cactus after the sound a mud puddle made in the Pridelands. But that was their decision. "I have to say, though, that I like the name euphorbia better." It made the plant sound like a little princess plant, that maybe jumped in mud puddles and that's where spurge came from.
"Oh! But!" Rosie's mind finally led her back on track from the conversation, and the princess of Corona looked curiously towards the lion prince. "What did you have planned, earlier?" |

Alexander Basile Bête Son of Adam (Beast) and Belle
"Aubrey Brielle Bête," Alexander snorted in disbelief, turning an amused blue gaze to his baby sister. "I hate to break it to you, but you are today's youth." Technically, he was too. But he was nearly a grown man, and he also wasn't the one denying that he was "today's youth", whatever that meant. Even though he didn't act like a teenager. He acted like a crotchety old man most of the time, only tending to lighten up around siblings and literally just this club. That was it. That was the extent of him being lighthearted.
At his sister's mention that they weren't getting mushrooms on their pizza, his tail sagged slightly, disappointed. "If we aren't getting mushrooms, can we at least get Dr. Pepper?" He wanted some sort of consolation from being denied, yet again, the chance to put mushrooms on his pizza. He was vaguely considering just carrying his own bag of mushrooms around and just sprinkling them on whatever he needed them to be on. Would someone question that? The crown prince of Auradon would hate to be questioned about his dietary habits -- even if there was nothing wrong with eating mushrooms -- and that would be embarrassing. But also he was the next king of Auradon, and that had to count for something. Maybe they'd be too scared to question his portable fungus bar.
Then again, he didn't want to be the sort of king that was feared, either...hmm... |

Adrian Beaufort Antoine Bête
son of belle and beast “Technically, this wasn’t a stimulation,” Adrian added in. Hono had just said so even if he was recalling properly. “This was an ‘actual, non-stimulated scenario.’ We have been testing him in simulated scenarios, so, sorry you seem to believe something that isn’t even accurate?” Like. It wasn’t even difficult to listen a little to what people were saying. Not to mention the fact that this test had barely started before Riet rolled in with no cares in the world. Honestly, that was pretty irritating in all. It wouldn’t have been difficult to go by and keep on skating by any accounts. Riet was the one who chose to dive away to avoid Maxie when he could have observed the robotic dog from a distance. Or was he the kind of person that believed everything stayed the same and that pedestrians did not have the right to walk on the paths made for them when someone was skating in a place that was not made for skating? Were people supposed to move for him instead of him moving around them, because he really should think of a new way to get around in that case. Actually, on that topic at hand, Adrian felt the need to point out that, “Technically you aren’t supposed to skate on campus unless you’re actually in an area reserved for skating. Like, y’know, the skate park?” Sure, it was a rule more likely to be ignored and unenforced, but it was still a rule and this was one of those areas where people should be walking around first and foremost. And if you didn't, you'd at least be expected to be aware and cool about it. |

 Matthias Aksel Alexsen
son of melody and alex Matthias wasn’t entirely sure what he was doing. Well, on a vague enough level, he was indeed aware. He was walking around the school at the moment, re-exploring the hallways of this land-based school. Sure, it had only been a summer since he had been at the school and Matthias shouldn’t have technically forgot where any classes were, but exploring was exploring. Some of the clubs had even started today! Although, he wasn’t part of the ones that were meeting on this lazy-first day of school. Gosh, tomorrow actually had classes which were frightening. Well, it was frightening because this year he had the class “Smiling” with Grumpy as a teacher. Matthias had to wonder why exactly Smiling was still a class here. Much less why a person who didn’t smile that often was teaching the class. He was only concerned about the class in the case his smiling wasn’t up to standards. He didn’t know what standards people had for smiling or why this was important, but he liked to think he smiled a lot. No one had complained so far about his smiling. Actually, Matthias might just switch out of the class. He could probably go to the counselors and see if he could find something more useful, after all, he knew this wasn’t a class he signed up for last year. Oh no! What if the counselors thought he needed to smile better and that’s why they put him in that class and now they wouldn’t switch him out? He was debating between whether or not to head over to the place when he was saved by a little Ding! Ding! Ding! Excitedly, he pulled out his phone immediately and pressed the little answer button as quick as he could, shouting into the phone, “Emilia! Hi! How are you! Do I need to come find you?” |

Hisoka Vimto Hamada
Son of Hiro and Vanellope
Hiso missed Hana. He knew Hono had more of a reason to miss her twin than Hiso did you miss his older sister, but still. They could all miss her. It wasn't like one person in the family was allowed to miss her and nobody else could. So Hiso missed her, but he was going to put that thought to productive use.
Before Hana left, she had been working with Hiso on upgrading his kart for Sugar Rush. While Hiso May not be the same level of genius as his siblings, he was still not dumb. In fact, he was smarter than plenty of kids he saw in class. So he had taken Hana's instructions on doing those upgrades and translated them to the physical world. He had gotten his hands on a couple of old go karts and began fixing them up and adding his upgrades. He had just gotten the flame decals on and made sure the speed boost was working.
He was hiding in a little cove that he had found behind some bushes, not wanting anyone else to bother him and hoping he was far enough off campus that people wouldn't notice the three little vehicles he had stored here.
Hearing the approach of a person go by, Hiso popped his head out, not caring about leaves that stuck in his green and black hair. "Meow!" he called out when he spotted his catbot cousin. Meow was fun and she seemed like the perfect person for him to run into right now. "Hey! Meow! Do you have a sec? I need some help!" he called out, straightening up. He could test the go karts on his own, but why not invite her along if he had the chance? Everything was better with family - or at least his family. The perfect amount of chaos and love. |

MISAKI MEOW JUSTICE
daughter of mochi and mini-max
When she heard her cousin, Meow reacted instinctively. She put her foot down to stop, picked it up and put it down again to slow her speed before flipping up her new board. It was longer than she was used to, so it took more effort to stop. She wasn't complaining about it in the least. Regrettably, the weird dinosaur kid had a really good mind for boards. One of the few things he could do right was skateboarding, and he was still sexist when it came to that.
Meow shook herself out of the haze and tried to give Hiso her attention. Of course she would help! She was still buzzing from the caffeine in her system, and she still wanted to see Tino, but she could give some time to Hiso too. When the robot cat saw where he was, she burst into laughter. "Did you and Hono plan that?" She really hoped they hadn't. Seeing both of her cousins hiding in bushes within five minutes and the same general area was amazing. She could talk about the coincidence until she was blue in the face.
"Let me just text Tino and I'll be right there!" She knew better than to get too close to her cousin if he was asking for help. It meant that something could explode. She had been raised in the family, even if she didn't have the last name.
Hey, I know I said I was going to meet up with you, but Hiso's in the bushes asking for help. Meet me here?
She put her phone away quickly, being surprisingly careful about not breaking it. She knew they couldn't afford a new one, and she didn't want to spend the next two days repairing it, or ask Grunkle for a new one. Meow sent her cousin a large grin and asked, "So what are we working with? Coding? Biotech? Physics? Engineering?"
It was possibly the amount of caffeine in her bloodstream making her so hyper, but pretty much anyone who knew her knew that this was just how she acted when excited about a project. It had been a good six years since deciding that she would figure out how to shift from full-human to full-robot to full-cat and any combination of the three. None of those plans had actually been successful yet, but Meow was never one to give up. She was an unstoppable force when she needed to be. |

KAGISO “KAGI” ADEBAYO
son of kiara and kovu
Kagi nodded along to Rosie's words, making sure to give her his attention. He always wanted to be an active listener, since Rosie did have very smart things to say when it came down to it. She was awesome like that. Everything she said was important. To him, at least. He was sure that other, much stupider people, didn't give her the time of day. Stereotypical princess sexism. Especially with someone like Rosie, who fit the stereotype in appearance to a T.
"I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you could become great at lifting!" Strength training really just took time, and if Rosie set a goal, she could reach it. Kagi was sure of it. There was nothing she couldn't do, so long as she actively wanted it. He had seen Vizazi in the gym, and she was an absolute beast. She could out run him in a second. Not to mention out box him. He knew, for a fact, that any girl could lift so long as she put in the effort.
Rosie's smile made him smile even larger. He was generally an enthusiastic person, but there was something about the way that Rosie thought about the world that made everything become more centered. It was probably something to do with the absolute, unwavering positivity that she could always muster up.
With her spurge theory, Kagi could only shrug. "I actually don't know why they call it a spurge. I just know that I don't like the person who decided it." Even with Rosie's beautiful descriptor of the name, Kagi was going to stick to the name euphorbia. He was pleased that she seemed to agree. Just because someone put thought into something didn't mean that it was a good thought. Somethings were just bad, and that was okay too. Nothing could be good if there wasn't any bad. Everything had to be challenged to grow, even plants and especially humans who make dumb decisions.
"Alright!" He now had to pull some plans out from nowhere. He couldn't pull of a picnic, and he really didn't want to go back to the garden store. There was no way he had the ingredients to make cookies nor the energy to do crafts while they were baking. "You down for a trip to the beach?"

Emilia Arendelle-Bjorgman
daughter of anna and kristoff
Emilia was ecstatic about being back to school. Hanging out with her family and copious amounts of reindeer was fun, but she loved her school. All her friends were around, all the time. Boarding school was the best decision she had ever made. She got to meet copious amounts of new people, non-Arendelle people, at school. Everyone had different lives. Her classes last year had been stuffed with fun people!
"If you want to, but I can also find you." She was still spinning, so her voice came out breathy. In fact, she had already started moving. She still didn't know where Matthias was, but she didn't want him to make all the effort to find her. They were both fully capable of meeting up, or at the very least finding each other. She wasn't about to sit around and way for him. That would be super boring! She wanted to move around.
Without looking at where she actually was, Emilia went into a description of what she saw in front of her. "I'm just outside the main building. It feels like everyone is outside right now." The school had really good energy right now. It filled her with her own happiness. So far, there were no bad vibes. As long as the students kept this up, it was going to be an amazing year.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Iver eating a flower. Emilia clicked her tongue and the little reindeer immediately sent her a judgemental glare. Most people would say that reindeer couldn't be judgemental, and all those people would be wrong. Iver had the most personality ever, she swore by this fact. So, in childlike fashion, she glared right back.
Emilia focused back on her conversation, since she had lost her attention to glare at her pet. "Anyways, I want to do something fun before classes start. We have to go on a pre-semester adventure!" Doing nothing, today of all days, would be so annoying. She had to have some excitement.
Lucky for her, she had been too focused on her conversation with Matthias that she walked into a tree. Emilia stopped for a second, asking herself if that had actually happened and then groaning while rubbing her forehead. It mostly just made the pain worse, but anything was better than nothing.

SaNG CHI ANDaM
son of sun park and councilor andam
Sang slowly lowered his camera, clicking off the recording and turning off the camera without even looking. He had years of experience, he could do it one handed if he wanted too while still holding onto the camera securely. That was always a risk, though, so he didn't like doing it.
The young Buzztuber tucked his precious equipment into the camera bag and stared directly into the other guy's eyes. Sang didn't pride himself on being smart, but that didn't mean that he didn't know how to use his intelligence to his advantage. He needed to make sure this guy wasn't about to wreck his video.
With a cocked eyebrow, Sang made sure that his gaze was intense as possible. He wanted to intimidate this kid, whoever he was. Sang couldn't just trust a stranger to hang out with him while he was doing something important like this. "I don't mean pranks," That was his first guess on why some random, self-described annoying guy would want to join him. Plus, he just gave off a fairly chaotic vibe.
Holding up his skateboard, Sang continued, "I'm talking about skateboarding. No one is going to get hurt." It was important to him that this message went through. If he couldn't trust the kid not do hurt others, there was no way that he would work with him. Even if having another person would make filming easier and make the video better. Just the company of another person to riff off of made videos better. Anyone could do it, even strangers who didn't know a thing about video making.
"So you can stay if you promise to be nice," Sang grinned, his entire demeanor shifting to be more relaxed and friendly. There was no reason to completely scare off the new dude. He really had to stop calling him new dude if he stuck around.

RIETILLIOUS "RIET" MAXIMUS
son of riggles and reptillus maximus
Riet didn't even care about her sarcasm. He knew, objectively, people got mad if someone took their sarcasm seriously. It was something about the principal of the thing, especially with the level of sarcasm currently spewing from Hamada's lips. So, he used his unfailing confidence to his advantage and just smiled, "Glad to see you admit the error of you ways. You're welcome to come to me for advice whenever I'm not busy." The glint in his eyes made it clear that he was just doing this to mess with her, but it was still fairly satisfying.
Then she decided to compare him to Mei, as if that was allowed. Riet couldn't just stand there and take something like that from such a little shorty. So, he leaned back and gave her a curious glance out of the corner of his eye, "You know that Mei can't see without corrective lenses, right?" He had seen her take enough falls on her face when she forgot her contacts. It was pretty funny whenever the little girl forgot to wear them. The best stupid girl stories came from days like that. Mei's mistakes were talked about for weeks, especially when she would land on her face.
Internally, Riet wanted to treat Prince Number Four with respect. Unfortunately, he decided to stick his head in a fight he didn't belong in. Riet's glare got sent to the other man and his expression changed to be more serious, "If your simulations had gone well enough to bring him to a non-simulated area, why didn't it move when something came towards it?" Riet didn't believe anything they did was accurate, to be fair. He didn't think either of them had the intelligence for that.
Prince Number Four decided to bring the rules into this, as if running an experiment in a crowd of unknowing students was allowed where someone could get hurt, like he almost did. There was no way that wasn't against the rules. "Right, how dare I break a rule that literally every other skater on campus has broken for as long as I've gone to school here." His gaze turned to Hamada, "But I'm not dating the King's son to get special privileges either."

Honoka "Hono" Vienna Hamada Daughter of Vanellope and Hiro Hamada
He was goading her, with that one. Completely and definitely so. She wasn't even going to grace that with a comment, since she knew he was just returning her sarcasm. Which was pretty childish, if she could point that out. Granted, Riet was a child, or at least had the brain of one. So could she really pretend to be surprised?
Instead, she mocked concern. "Well gee, they seemed to work great for her! Maybe you should look into getting a pair." And a pair of balls, while he was at it. But that was just a personal opinion. She couldn't believe he was sitting here, trying to lecture her on something he knew nothing about. Literally, he did not know a thing about Maxie and he was trying to talk over them both about it, like he'd been there at all.
"His functions are calibrated to adjust his path around stationary objects and pedestrians. As an emotional healthcare robot, I never anticipated traffic going the speed of a skateboard." He worked just fine. Maxie didn't have the same reflexes as say, Emerson, or one of her battle bots. He didn't need them. He had much more developed sensors and processors, as would be required by a robot using advanced functions and it's own brainpower to solve problems. Unlike a battle bot, Maxie was completely autonomous unless she needed otherwise. Which meant more time was spent on his brain chunks than his body chunks. She appreciated Adrian stepping in and reminding Riet -- again -- that they weren't at fault for this. Robots, as long as they weren't endangering the lives of law abiding pedestrians, were more or less allowed in the courtyard. A blind dinosaur on a skateboard was a different story, she felt, and she was about to comment on that before she heard that sentence:
"...dating the King's son to get special privileges."
Hono was stunned speechless, for just a moment. She knew he was goading her before, and he was still definitely trying to, and it worked. First of all? How dare he even assume something like that? Secondly, what even made him think something as disgusting as that would be going on? She wasn't some...some underhanded, manipulative monster. She honestly couldn't even think of what to say in this situation.
She wasn't with Adrian for some manipulative, rule-breaking bullshit! She could break rules and escape consequences just fine on her own! She was dating Adrian because she loved him, and really meant that. That wasn't even a question in her mind. He was sweet, and thoughtful, and very intelligent. He put a lot of thought and care into things that Hono's own mind hardly went to, and she found that both interesting and refreshing. His status had nothing to do with it, when they'd first started talking, she almost wanted nothing to do with him because of his family name. It wasn't until she started talking to him and spending time with him that she associated more with him and actually wanted to be around him.
Hono had taken a step forward to square up with Riet without even realizing it.
"My sensors have indicated that you may be in need of help! May I assist you?"
The bright chirp of her tiny robot son had stopped Hono, who had probably been seconds away from back handing the dinosaur. She felt a small rush of shame, taking a step back and clearing her throat. "Some of us can actually achieve our goals on our own, without piggybacking off of relationships -- or failed relationships, in this case." Was this a direct shot at Riet's ego? Yes, it was. She wasn't even trying to throw shade now, or be any sort of subtle about it. She was angry. Riet had insulted her intelligence, her work, her relationship, her integrity, and her morals for that matter. She didn't believe in causing physical harm to anyone, no matter how entitled and obnoxious, and Riet had nearly made her forget that for a moment. "After all, that didn't work very well for you, now did it?" Sometimes relationships failed and no one was at fault. Sometimes, couples broke up and half of it was the misogynistic dinosaur that was dragging the wonderful, powerful princess down.
Aisha had really dodged a bullet with this jerk.
"No thank you, Maxie. I decline care for now." And just as he was programmed, the tiny dog went from service mode to idle mode, going from where he'd waddled to her side back to wandering the crowd.
Hono's eyes had narrowed down into chilly slits, scowling darkly at the skater dino, daring him to say anything else. |

 Celine H. Charming
daughter of cinderella and prince charming The sketchy part didn’t matter if people didn’t know who they were. It might make it difficult to get to the club if people started watching out for who went inside though, only to discover it was merely three people- three members of royalty, causing a lot of the sketchy questions to appear. They’d need to be very sneaky overall for it all in the case they took that route. Which was beginning to sound like far more work than just pretending only two people were in here hanging out as siblings do. And then Bre continued and Celine found it difficult not to giggle at the adjectives applied to Bre’s older brother. The sibling banter hit Celine’s heart a little as she was reminded that she needed to visit Cedric again soon. Sure, even though she didn’t know the time youth today preferred to eat pizza, she had a feeling that most youth didn’t really care when they ate pizza. It wasn’t like all adults even approved of it in the first place so it only made sense that kids did like it and ate it whenever they wanted to. Who cared about timed food anyhow? Upon the news of a lack of mushrooms, Celine shook her head sadly, “May the mushrooms be used elsewhere then.” But it was more fair to not go with mushrooms for the person who wouldn’t eat them… “Or- maybe, we get two- maybe even three pizzas? One for each of us to our own tastes?”
“Oh but I love the idea of Dr. Pepper for a soda,” Celine agreed. It wasn’t her favourite, but she didn’t dislike it either, and it seemed to be a fair trade all in all. Soda for a lack of mushrooms. But if there are no mushrooms still…. And she isn’t the biggest fan of the soda…
“What about some breadsticks too?” |

Bellonso Stormwyn Sour-Dough
son of sour bill, wynnchel, and duncan To be perfectly honest, hearing a magic spot and tricks, Bellonso’s first thought was one of those street magicians that filmed stuff for the wonder of others. Second probably came to pranks. Skateboards was not something he was expecting, but looking back on the words, he could absolutely see where it would come from. Did it deter him from his curiosity at all? Absolutely not. Plus, no one getting hurt was always a bonus and Bellonso would be down to help ensure that. He gave a little thumbs upin agreement to that. “Absolute promise, I can be very nice, no worries!”
Well, out here in the real world, Bellonso would like to say he was a very nice person. He was friendly and cool and great and he specifically avoided any true trouble when it came to it. Well. For the most part. His mind drifted to his dogs waiting at home and he grinned a little, but they were worth the trouble. To be honest, a lot of things were worth the trouble and his favourite trouble twins always had something that was fun and for a good cause. His dogs were good examples of that- all of which Bellonso would still like to attribute to him being a nice person. In comparison, to the virtual world he was something of an a-hole. To be fair, it was his literal role in the game to be an awful dictator of a dude. It was so much fun to film the scenes and get to toss things at all his friends, but it wasn’t like he tried to be genuinely, genuinely mean. He had goals and a persona to upkeep there and giving all the other sins a bunch of hugs and candy in the game wasn’t the persona he should be upkeeping. It was a matter of acting as someone he wasn’t. You wouldn’t kill the actor playing Claudius just because the character killed Hamlet’s father, so you shouldn’t assume Bellonso was the Licorice King in real life. Well, most people agreed with that idea. Some were kinda douchebags about it. Beast.But not the point. He was a good person, and he was now invested in this person’s video-recording, skate-boarding career. And however he can help with that. “I stand by my offer of being an assistant!” |

Teagan Harper Tibbs
son of Sergeant Tibbs and Hissy
Was now the appropriate time for a joke about Riet? He felt like he could segue smoothly into mocking the dinosaur boy from the joke about taking Aisha's kingdom. But would it be well received? It seemed like it would be taken in poor taste, and maybe he should avoid that. No matter how much he hated the skater.
It wasn't even that the scoundrel was Aisha's ex that made him dislike Riet so much. It was a matter of general taste and respect -- which Riet had none of for any living creature -- that made the Sergeant's son's nose wrinkle in distaste whenever he saw him.
He was saved from this social dilemma, however, when the rest of the student body burst in, and Aisha struggled to regain order. If the cat boy had a pair of whiskers, one could imagine them twitching in amusement at the assortment of...personality...that burst through those doors.
"Good morning, everyone." Throwing a wink towards his President and girlfriend, he took his seat, casually waving towards the others. He didn't know a lot about them yet, but he was sure he'd figure out who was who before long. They had a lot of new faces this year. "What's our first order of business, Madame President?" He wasn't being sarcastic, even if his tone was playful. He had the utmost respect for Aisha, and knew that hearing that would make her happy. |

Rosemarie “Rosie” Estelle Fitzherbert
daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert
Rosie was slightly certain that she could succeed in lifting if she put her mind to it. After all, it was merely up to eating and effort, and knowing what to eat and how to lift. It didn't sound very simple to her, but according to Kagi's little brother, it wasn't as complicated as it appeared. That being said, the princess had to admit she didn't have a particular iinterest in lifting. It wasn't a bad thing, it just wasn't something she ever put her mind to, or associated with fun. Gym class was gym class, and she'd participate to the best of her abilities, but she wouldn't develop those abilities beyond what she needed.
As for spurge, she had to agree it wasn't the prettiest name, but she supposed the namer had the best intentions in mind. Maybe they thought spurge was a pretty word, even though it sort of sounded like a squirting sound. She needed to ask Kagi if the euphorbia squirted anything out, maybe that was the reason? But that could wait until later, really. She had other questions to answer.
"Going to the beach would be great!" It didn't take long for her to agree to Kagi's plan, and she smiled again. "Do you think we could go hunting for shells? I'm working on a thing, and I think that shells would look beautiful on it." She was working on a headpiece for the school's drama department, and she was sort of inspired by her boyfriend's suggestion. "Plus, it's a nice day, it'd be nice to spend it outside." |

Aubrey Brielle Bête
Daughter of Beast and Belle
Bre turned to give Alexander a teasing look when she realized that her words had gotten him to full name her. "Oh, shush up. I may not be the youngest of the family, but I am certainly proud to nominate myself as the most fun," she said, picking up a pad of post it notes and tossing them towards her brother. The only other thing to throw at him was a stapler and she wouldn't do that. She didn't want to hurt Alexander.
She was one of the very few people that could probably tell the prince to be quiet and throw something at him without getting in trouble. He may be the next king, but he was also the same little boy that had helped her nurse a deer back to health and shared her love of animals. She couldn't just ignore memories like that to treat him like a king, and being his sister meant she would hopefully never have to give up on treating Alexander like the boy he was inside.
But there was also the point of her being the "most fun" Bête being limited to her siblings, Celine, Lunaire, and Rosie. Really, no one else.
She was very thankful to have Celine, and suddenly felt self conscious about her and Alexander and their sibling bickering while her friend was sitting right there. She knew about Cedric running away. Though he was accessible to Celine, Bre still felt bad about putting on this little show when she knew that Celine's brother no longer lived with her. She just hoped that Celine and Cedric still had a good relationship. She didn't ever ask much about it, not wanting to hurt her friend if their relationship wasn't the best.
"Celine Charming, you are a genius. A lovely, talented genius," she said, her focus being pulled away from Alexander as she looked back to the ordering form on her computer. "If we don't finish the pizzas, we can each keep our own for leftovers. Breadsticks are a good idea too. What does everyone want on their pizzas?" she asked.
She added a two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper and one pizza to their order - a very simple pepperoni, sausage, and olive pizza. Then she waited on the others for their orders.
This was the beauty of the club. It was a safe spot for them all to act like the teenagers that they were. For them to relax and unwind and stuff their faces with pizza. She was so glad that Celine and Alexander had agreed to join her here. This club was all Bre ever really needed here at school. |

Alexander Basile Bête Son of Adam (Beast) and Belle
Alexander could hardly believe the hypocrisy of the situation, lobbing the ball of paper back at his little sister. "So you're judging my mushrooms, but you're ordering pepperoni and olives?" An absolute lack of self-awareness on Bre's part, really. Olives, really. Little tiny Satan fruits, the lot of them. Sure, he ate mushrooms, but at least he didn't like olives. "If we're going with individual pizzas, though, add peppers and onions to mine, thanks." Did he have room to judge pepperoni and olives? Probably not. But this was a rare opportunity for him, and by God he was going to have what he wanted on his pizza.
He loved these days where he could come in here for a moment and just...exist. No duties, no lessons, no watchful eyes judging him every second, waiting for a moment of weakness or a slip. Just movies, pizza, soda, and the company of his little sister and her friend.

Kandoro Khamisi Adebayo Son of Kovu and Kiara
Normally, if someone wanted to find Kandoro, they'd find him in one of two places. He could either be found in the gym -- physical activity had always been a grounding activity for him, growing up -- or in detention, usually in the name of some grand fight or cause, defending the defenseless, thwarting bullies and scoundrels alike. It was his job, as the true leader of the Lion Guard, to do so. Even if Auradon wasn't the Pridelands, that didn't just turn off his natural instinct to protect and care for people.
Even if that care was expressed with his fists and his particularly hard head.
Today, however, Kandoro was taking a cat nap. Literally. The massive boy was stretched out on a bench, half asleep, and just enjoying the early morning sunlight. Tomorrow would be the first day of classes, after all, and he couldn't take the opportunity like this tomorrow morning, as he would be in school.
That, and he needed to take his mind off of his cousin being on the Isle.
Komboa was a confident, intelligent dude. Even if his cousin didn't think that, himself. He was capable, when his brain didn't get in the way. And Kandoro could really say that about a lot of people. Sometimes problems needed brawn to solve, not brains. Brains could overthink. Not that he was against thinking in general, but he thought people were thinking too much about this Isle thing.
The Isle kids needed a second chance, that wasn't up for debate. Unless you wanted to debate that they never had a chance in the first place, which was a fair and valid argument that the red-haired lion boy could get behind. Born to evil didn't mean evil, and the existence of he, his brother, and his other cousin -- Vizazi -- proved that outright. Kovu and Vitani might have been raised in evil, but they made their own, good choices that showed they were good inside.
Speaking of Vizazi though.
"Mmm...good morning, Zazi." The lion boy mumbled, opening one of his eyes to glance up at his incredibly motivated cousin. |
