Closed Starter: Never Gonna Keep Me Down

Melinda closes her locker and runs a hand through her hair. “Shit!”

Because she can’t find her pen, even though she’d sworn she’d be as careful as she could be. Sworn she’d done everything she could to keep it guarded and safe and–

Tap.

Tap.

Her head whips around.

Cane. Moore. That sneer.

No. Melinda looks around desperately at the… largely disinterested student body. No one realizes. No one knows, no one–

Bash. But that’s all she can think about before she hears him stop behind her. “Miss Pollari.”

No, no, no no no not like this. She tenses her shoulders. “Mr. Moore.” She looks at Bash, one word etched over the entirety of her expression.

Help.

[askthekingofnowhere]

Bastian heard Melinda’s expletive from across the hall and whipped around to find her. He watches like a scene in a bad movie as Mr. Moore slowly comes up behind her. 

He’s pushing his way through the crowded hallway the moment she makes eye contact. He will not let her deal with this alone. Thinking on his feet, he inserts himself in between the two of them, “Mr. Moore! I’m so glad I found you, I have some questions about the homework!”

😬 -Melinda, @xts-just-melxnda

When Fairy Godmother told him we was being put in the new teacher's history class, he was anything but excited. Reading was still not his strongest suit, and learning Auradon's history sounded well more confusing than swordfighting or anything actually useful.

Now that he was sitting in the library with a giant book on "Medieval Legends" and a paper due, he was worried his fears were founded. Bash saw what he hoped was his saving grace walk through the doors and waved her down profusely, "Melinda! You have to help me; you're good with legends and stuff, right?"

@xts-just-melxnda

[xts-just-melxnda]

“Oh, I’m good with them, all right,” she jokes as she sits down, but her face falls at the work he’s doing. “...is that the assignment for Medieval Legends?”

She shivers a bit. Everything related to that man being in Auradon still has her absolutely rattled. She doesn’t like that he’s here, that he knows who she is... and it’s not Bash’s fault, he’s just doing his homework, homework she’ll have to do to keep from causing any problems, but...

[askthekingofnowhere]

For a second he's relieved. With her help, he might actually pass this assignment. "Yes it is, and I'm having trouble with-"

He stops himself for a second to study her. Bash knew she didn't like talking about the things that made her 'not normal', but this was just homework. "You've got your whole 'the fate of the world is going to kill me' face on. What's wrong?"

😱 - my muse is scared

No, no, no, no, this couldn't be happening. Brynn smacked at all of her pockets again. Where was it?! Oh, this could be so bad. She needed her phone, it was her literal lifeline.

She dropped to her knees, looking under a table. "Dammit!" She sat up and looked around. "Hey, hey you!" She got up, stumbling slightly from how fast she stood, hurrying over to a nearby person. "Hey, I lost my phone. It's- It's got a black and red wallet case, and there's a little B charm hanging off the end. Have you seen it anywhere?"

@askthekingofnowhere

[askthekingofnowhere]

"Brynn's a lovely name," He said as he let go of one of her hands. He held onto the other to guide her towards the flowers, still searching for the phone. She seemed like a nice person, and he'd already messed up more than a few interactions with other girls here.

"They say panic is a great way to make new friends. Something about testing your mettle and all that."

[askthekingofnowhere]

Bash lightly grabbed her hands, looking her in the eyes in hopes of getting her to focus and calm. "It'll be okay. Let's start there, and then work our way back to when you first put your phone in your pocket. If it's not somewhere along there, we can trace your steps back to here, and, if you can figure out how to work my phone, you can call yours to see if someone else picked it up."

He was still having trouble with technology, so he didn't want to offer it as a first suggestion. Making himself look inept wouldn't inspire much confidence in helping her. "My name is Bastian, by the way. What might yours be?"

He'd been just about to ask her if she needed help when she rushed over to him. Bash immediately did a quick scan of the room, "I haven't seen it, but I'd be more than happy to help you look for it." He gave her a charming smile. "Where was the last place you remember having it?"

"So... you're back. Is everything okay?" -xts-just-melxnda

"Of course. I just had to leave for a bit to deal with some things back home. Apparently the boys got a little... anarchist without me there." Bash chuckles lightly. "Is everything okay with you?"

Bash walked down almost every hallway of the castle looking for her. Fairy Godmother wouldn’t tell him what her room number was, something about ‘student confidentiality’ or other. Her door being open was a lucky surprise, and he stopped for a second to admire her old journal. They both were a sight for sore eyes.

He finally knocked on the frame to announce his presence and put on a friendly smirk. “Miss me?”

Emma pauses only momentarily before she lights up excitedly, jumping up out of her seat and rushing to greet him. “Bash! When did you get here?!”

She’s thrilled at seeing her old friend. She’d missed him terribly… he was the only person she’d ever felt she could be herself around. And now he was here. Wait.

“Why are you here? Not that I’m not ecstatic to see you.” She hugs him tightly.

[askthekingofnowhere]

He hugs her back just as tight. "Some sort of diplomatic mission. Camelot wants to send some of its 'less fortunate' to Auradon Prep to give them a better life and give them a foot in Auradon's door. I got here months ago, but there were some things back home that got a little out of hand so I had to go back. Just got back here a few days ago, really."

[askstorykidshqnews]

I hear all these Camelot Kids have a secret rating system to judge all the other AKs. Spoiler alert, Hannah doesn’t even rank.

Oooh, this got interesting. Can I get a physical copy, in like, a list form? That’s some tea and I want it spilled. -V

Open Starter: Still Growing

Emma smiles softly as she sprays down the plants in her windowsill with water, turning a couple of them and inspecting them cautiously. Setting the spray bottle down in a minute, she opens to a page in an old leatherbound journal– one she’s used for years to keep notes on the plants in her care, in the woods at home… in her life, no matter how brief.

She goes to the part where she started keeping a daily update log on the ones in her windowsill here at AP, starting to make notes when there’s a knock at the door, which she’d left open. Turning from her desk, she looks back at the other person in her doorway. “Yes?”

[askthekingofnowhere]

"Hey, stranger. Welcome back." - Eve

He grinned and held out his arm for a side hug, "Please tell me there's no more things you need to stab me with."

“No need to thank me. I was just as lost not too long ago, so it only seems fair I’d help others in the same boat now.” With another glance at the paper, he started off towards her dorm. “Its nice to meet you Genevieve. I’m Bash. Where’re you from, if you don’t mind my asking?”

“Oh, really?” Genevieve looks curiously at him, smiling brightly. “That’s nice, guess you must know everything about this place by now,” as she looks around and even up a bit, spinning as she walks slightly to take it all in before speeding up her pace a bit.

“Oh! I grew up in the 100 Acre Woods. What about you?” Genevieve beams at him.

[askthekingofnowhere]

"I doubt I know everything. But I can get myself around now, so that's helpful." Bastian's heart melts a little at her childlike wonder. "I'm from Camelot. Not much about the place other than a cool sword and a really old guy who's good at magic tricks apparently. I don't think I've heard about the 100 Acre Woods before, is it close?"

Bastian smiled as he turned to face the person who tapped him on his shoulder. He paused at her not being able to read, but he didn’t judge. He hadn’t been able to do much better when he got here. “Let me see,” looking at the schedule, he was glad to see he actually knew where all she was going, “I might actually be able to help you. Why don’t I walk you?”

“Sure, of course,” Genevieve answers, holding out what seems to be a schedule to him, and lighting up a bit when he says he can help. “Really? Great! That’d be nice of you, thank you so much.”

Smiling brightly, she adds, “I’m Genevieve.”

Open Starter: First Day

Genevieve looks around the school buildings, wide eyed as she slowly turns to take everything in. The place was ginormous! How was she ever gonna find anything?!

Well, she supposes it’ll be a grand adventure. She looks down at the information paperwork she’d been given.

…none of it makes any sense. Who’s bright idea… Genevieve walks over to a nearby person, tapping their shoulder. “Excuse me. They gave me this paperwork for finding my room and my classes… I can’t read. Can you help me?”

[askthekingofnowhere]

Bastian smiled as he turned to face the person who tapped him on his shoulder. He paused at her not being able to read, but he didn't judge. He hadn't been able to do much better when he got here.
