ryderhareโ:
ย ย ย ย โWhat do you want?โ Ryder asked the crying baby in his arms, letting out a frustrated sigh, the idea of possibly needing to change his childโs diaper did not even crossing his head for a second. For someone like Ryder, a baby constantly crying, keeping him up, and not being able to fully informing him what they needed; this project was absolute torture. One day he wanted children, absolutely, but with the way his mind worked at the moment, he was having a hard time trying to figure out how he was going to make it through for this assignment. There werenโt many things that could hold Ryderโs attention, so it was becoming increasingly difficult to force himself to focus on caring for a baby (mechanical or not, it stressed him out a lot to know something bad could still happen to the little one), and for once, he really didnโt want to fail.ย
ย ย ย โOh, I know!โ He happily exclaimed, reaching into his bag for his lucky tiny spoon, โHowโs this?โ His hazel eyes watched the baby with a silent plea of hope, anything to get the little one to relax, but that hope quickly diminished the moment the crying got even louder. โI donโt know what you want from me!โ Ryder groaned, sighing again. As his mind raced with what could have his mechanical baby so fussy, he spotted a someone heading in his direction and did not hesitate to approach them for some help. โHey!โ He called out to them, waving his free hand in the air, attempting to catch their attention. โHey, quick question! How did you get your baby thing to shut up?โ

startling at the interruption, wendy looked up from where she was rooting through her bag and took quick stock of the situation. the crying baby. the panicked look in his eyes. the general frantic air. so, weirdly enough, not an uncommon sight on campus these days. while wendy herself had taken to the assignment like a duck to water, effortlessly juggling both parental duties and academic ones ( thanks in no small part to raising two younger brothersย ) that seemed to be the exception, and the campus was a sea of bleary eyed miserable students.
sighing inwardly, wendy resigned herself to another day as the resident baby expert. this was hardly the first time sheโd been asked advice, not even the first in 12 hours, and she suspected it would not be the last.ย โ itโs not exactly that hard. babies only ever want one or more of the following โ attention, food, or a diaper change. or i suppose sleep is in there, too,ย โย she explained matter of factly. honestly, the student body wasnโt giving her much hope for the parents of the future. if they couldnโt accomplish what she was doing at ten, that did not bode well.ย โ if theyโre fussing, itโs because theyโre uncomfortable, and probably for one of those four reasons. then you just run through the list and see which works, unfortunately. โ
chaseintothefireโ:
it wasnโt exactly the fact that she was being listened to or anything. really, annaโs volume spoke, well, volumes. she was used to getting looks from people now that she was at sherwood and actually had her etiquette lessons to remember - not that she did or anything, but her loud voice had earned her a reprimand or two already. she didnโt need to stick out like a sore thumb here, but she was excited. things just happened. it was more the fact that the guy who talked to her now didnโt seem to mind that she was too loud !! a rare occurrence - so she said her goodbyes and hung up. โ no, no !! being ignored is terrible, i wouldnโt want you to get that feeling. โ anna would know.ย โ i mean, heโs doing okay at home, i know he has wonderful people to take care of him while iโm here, but iโd rather have him close โฆ so i can see him too. โ then it dawned on her.
โ wait โฆ i didnโt even realize. you understood me ?? do you speak norwegian ?? oh my gosh - โ and hereโs when she switched to norwegian in her excitement. no one could really blame her, she hadnโt met anyone from her home country since moving to england and the only contact she had in her native tongue was over the phone. things were different in a face-to-face conversation, and the prospect of it made her over-excited and giggly.ย โ are you from norway too ?? what are the odds, iโve barely met anyone from outside oslo, and the country is so big !! so itโs not likely we wouldโve met before, but the possibility still exists, right ?? imagine that, itโd be so cool โฆ but wait, โ she stammered, suddenly a bit more self-conscious than before, switching back to english.ย โ are you norwegian ?? โ
x
henrik ... could definitely not say he related. he didnโt even have a horse he could miss, and the very idea of him somehow being posh enough to have stables back home was ludicrous. was that a normal thing ? pet horses ? he didnโt think so. she seemed about 10 times too sophisticated for him, from what he gathered, but he nodded along encouragingly anyway, still feeling a little awkward at being called out and not wanting to be rude.ย
the mood then changed so quickly it gave him whiplash, though, and the rapid onset of her excitement left him blinking at the rapid fire questioning.ย it quickly became clear she didnโt even seem to need him to answer much, carrying on the conversation half by herself. every time she asked a new question and he opened his mouth to answer, she was already jumping on the next, before he finally just gave up and let her wear herself out.ย
โ ah, ja, i understand you, โ henrik finally confirmed once he got the breathing room, half laughing. there was a certain charm to her rambling tirade โ an innocent excitement. all the tension basically bled out of his shoulders; he wasnโt particularly worried about judgement coming from her, of all people. clearly they were cut from the same oversharing cloth. besides, there was a certain automatic bond between two countrymen in a foreign place.ย
โ and i speak norweigan, and am from norway, โ he made sure to confirm as well, probably redundantly. โ nothing so exciting as oslo for me though, sorry to disappoint. iโm afraid you would all find me something of a country bumpkin. iโm from far, far up north, here on scholarship. โ slipping into the tongue of his home country was easier than he thought it would be after months, refreshing almost. he felt he could articulate himself far better, and there was a kind of confidence that came with that.ย โ iโm surprised you would leave oslo, though, itโs a beautiful city from what iโve seen visiting, nothing like the icy pit of my hometown. and lots of well respected schools. are you enjoying your time away ?ย โย

anna knew that living with wendy wouldnโt be an ideal situation for either of the girls. they werenโt alike, anna was objectively messy, and wendy was โฆ a lot like elsa. a bit uptight and controlling of her environment ( not of people !! anna would never accuse her of that ) and โฆ well, she acted a lot like her big sister in many ways. their dynamic didnโt necessarily work at all times, but most of the time they didnโt really bother each other. she knew things could be a lot worse, so that was something to be grateful for.
something else to be grateful forย ?? wendyโs willingness to help anna out of tricky situations like this one.ย โ thank you so much, โ she sighed, sifting through some other pens she pulled out of a pencil case.ย โ i brought it to class with me, but it wasnโt in my bag โฆย but i distinctly remember putting it in there !! itโs my favorite โฆ it was a gift from when i was really young. you can refill it and everything, and the fluffy ball is very calming when you write with it. when i find it, you have to try it out !! โ
x
wendy resisted the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose โ sheโd brought it to class with her ? that thing could be long gone by now. whoโs to say it was even in the dorm and not collecting dust abandoned in some empty lecture hall ?ย and university students were known for being horrid pen thieves.ย โ well, iโd upend the entire bag first, if i were you, to make sure it hasnโt just fallen out of the case and gotten lost along the bottom. โ her eyes scanned the room once more, appraisingly.ย โ ... though it does seem to look like youโve already upended several bags. โ and a desk drawer, and the entire wardrobe. really, everything was exactly where it wasnโt supposed to be.ย
sentimental value, though โ that was something wendyย could understand. there were a rare few items her parents hadnโt deemed her grown out of, and she clung to those early relics desperately. she wasnโt sure what sheโd do if her childhood copy ofย paddington bear disappeared suddenly. cry, probably. ( hence why she made sure to take good care of it, not carelessly tote it around ) it did soften her heart to annaโs plight, though.ย โ iโm sure your fluffy pen is ... lovely. i look forward to trying it,ย โ she agreed, reassuringlyย ? pen etiquette was unclear.ย ย โ thereโs always the lost and found in your classes building if we canโt find it here ? โย ย
chaseintothefireโ:
anna liked to think of herself as chaotically organized. really, to an outsider, her part of the dorm might look like an absolute mess, but she knew exactly where everything was located. wellโฆ sometimes. really, she just watched too manyย โ how to organize your room โ videos and got confused with all the systems, therefore deciding to adopt all of them. it wasnโt working so far.
and poor wendy had to deal with it. anna felt bad, really, but she was too stressed to think about anything else.ย โ oh, hi, wendy !! donโt worry, iโm not re-organizing our entire dorm !! i think our other roomie might kill me. but you see, i couldnโt find my pen with the orange fluffy ball on it and i thought i lost itโฆ so i had to look for it. but i havenโt found it yet. โ she smiled sheepishly, shrugging her shoulders and looking around helplessly.ย โ would you mind giving me a hand ?? iโm sure itโs around here somewhereโฆ โ

wendy let the rambling explanation wash over her from her position at the door, hand still clinging to the handle. of course. a pen. somehow that seemed totally in character for the image sheโd constructed of her new roommate so far. enthusiastic, yes, and always well intentioned, but rarely having it all together. it reminded her of her youngest brother, michael, honestly โ forever misplacing things and bumbling through life, teasing her for having that mother ability to somehow always know where things were. and here she thought university was going to be a place to grow away from parenting.
resigning herself to helping, because thatโs just what she did, wendy picked carefully across the room to kneel adjacent to anna and start sifting methodically through the items. how could one person own so many things ?ย โ now, where did you last see it ? โ she started with, the perfect imitation of a placating parent.ย โย and how desperate are you for that pen, specifically ? as far as iโm concerned, a pens relative fluffiness doesnโt impact how well it writes. โ

So far Meridaโs experiences of Sherwood had consisted of a party (good), alcohol (also good) and a letter from the bloody dean of the school (not so good). She was on day five, had attended a single lesson and was already being threatened with expulsion. And she wouldnโt have minded, but she honestly had no clue what anyone was talking about and hadnโt been apart of any prank. Her mum was seriously gonna murder her if she got kicked out so soon, and she was pretty sure at least one brother would be loosing a bet. Blowing a strand of hair out of her face Merida picks up her sandwich, taking a bite.ย โโhole place might be fucking dramatic but the food supply is great.โ It was the small things in life.
stirring her protein shake with her straw, vidia frowned from her position lounging back in her seat. similarly to merida she was annoyed about the whole thing, yes, but considering vidia was generally displeased as a standardย โ well, what else was new. it only solidified her intentions to continue to avoid the rest of the student population going forward. she tried not to wrinkle her nose too much at her companions poor manners, eying the sandwich.ย โ watch what you say, who knows whoโs listening inย โ maybe theyโll see fit to sabotage our precious lunch meats next, โ she drawled.ย โ iโm starting to think sherwood is hardly a step above primary school at this rate. youโd think they just let anyone inย โ

Kim wished she was one of those athletes who could look cute after a work out, to be so strong and so diligent while not even breaking a sweat. Unfortunately, that wasnโt the case as she started to walk back towards Clumber House, the epicenter of campus drama and utter doom, dabbing a towel on her forehead in case wandering eyes found their way to her face.ย โSo what youโre saying is,โ she stated to the person walking beside her,ย โhad I been in charge of the party, maybe it wouldnโt have turned into such a disaster?โ Teasing, of course, but now she couldnโt help but feel guilty that she wasnโt involved, instead she was wallowing on her own amongst her fighting roommates whilst wishing she was talking to Ron right about now.
vidia couldnโt relate โ unpleasant as she was, nobody could deny her uncanny ability to still look perfectly put together post work out. she could give it her all and somehow there wouldnโt even be a single hair out of place from her immaculate ponytail. ( honestly, the worst people always seemed to have it the best ) falling into step with her red faced roommate, vidia rolled her eyes as she picked a spare lint off her leggings, the picture of casual relaxation.ย โ that is absolutely not what iโm saying, and you know it, wonder girl. โ she wouldnโt deny kim was capable, and honestly if it wasnโt for her embarrassing super hero shtick vidia may even like her, but she certainly wasnโt going to give her that much credit.ย โ simply that perhaps if everyone had pulled their weight, maybe we wouldnโt be the laughing stock of the campus right now. โ

Jack had been spending his morning walking around the halls and courtyards, a black clipboard in one hand and Zeroโs harness leash in the other. Now that Halloween had come and gone, he had already started decorating his side of his dorm with various Christmas decorations ( along with a few little wall decals of menorahs and dreidels, to show his support for the Jewish population of Sherwood of course ) and had been struck with the realization that he still had Thanksgiving to get too.
With Zeroโs bark drawing his attention towards a person walking passed that he had yet to question, Jack turned his stroll into a brisk walk until he was up by their side and pulled out his pen. โHi, hello! Quick question; do you think there would be a demand for a Friendsgiving party on campus?ย โย He looked up from his clipboard, eyebrow cocked in curiosity. In Jackโs opinion, this was the best way to go about trying to plan any sort of get-together, with a census and written questionnaire.ย
โย Because I know Thanksgiving is not the type of holiday I wish to endorse due to all the, you know, horrible atrocities towards the Native American people, but my moms taught me how to bake a mean pumpkin pie and I feel like thatโs something everyone deserves to experience. โ Zero let out a happy yap, tail wagging and tongue out at the mention of his favorite under-the-table desert.ย โ Zero agrees with me, โ Jack said with a smile, clicking the end of novelty bat-covered pen with enthusiasm.ย

when the foreign barking reached his ears, erik reflexively tightened the grip on the leash he was holding. uh oh. he was currently out for a walk with max through the quad, and while it had been quite peaceful up until now, his dog was known to be a bit er ... enthusiastic, at times. all in good fun, of course, but considering max was the size of a small horse, he didnโt particularly enjoy the idea of him getting expelled for his pet mowing down another dog in a friendly frenzy. figuring it was already too late now that the little shit had already spotted a new potential friend, erik resigned himself to dealing with the fallout.ย ย โ max. sit. โย with a quick warning glare down at his pupย โ who simply gazed back up at him from his feet blankly, tongue lollingย โ erik turned to greet the newcomer with a smile.
โ hey !! iโm gonna be honest with you dudeย โ i have absolutely no idea what friendsgiving is. โ erik admitted, bluntly honest as always. but he was always willing to hear someone out, and this new holiday thing sounded kind of interesting.ย ย โ but nor do i care if the promise of pumpkin pie is somehow involved, because iโd really like to get in on thatย โย max ! โ seeing the other dogs enthusiasm had apparently given max the wrong idea as he let out a similar, though much deeper in tone, yap of his own, positively wiggling in delight. erik barely managed to stop him from making a break for it.ย โ that is not how we treat strangers ! theyโre going to think youโre raised in a barn and now the lovely poodle is never going to want to be your friend. and iโm not going to get any pie. โ refocusing his attention on the actual human at hand, erik grinned sheepishly.ย โ i am so sorry. my son usually has better manners than this. โ the last part directed downward, very pointedly.ย
yeah a boyfriend sounds nice but a supreme enemy you can make out with sometimes in secret sounds a lot more hardcore

Henry was burrowed under his sheets in bed, just trying to avoid the rest of the world for a little while longer. Things had only calmed down slightly but that wasnโt much of an incentive to leave (though it was clear his remaining roommates didnโt share this sentiment). The pounding at the door was completely unwelcome, as was the shouting, but once heโd figured out that it was Erik yelling, he begrudgingly dragged himself up and to the door. Swinging it open, Henry feigned the most disinterested expression he could, but it was difficult to uphold while staring one of his best friends in the face.ย โWhat are you trying to do, break the door down? Whatever happened to just texting me, dude!โ He said, as if he hadnโt been ignoring his phone for the day.
the second the door swung open, henry was greeted with a blinding grin. โ henry ! as i live and breathe ! โ erik greeted jovially, as if he hadnโt been about to kick in the door swat team style literally two moments earlier. โ i thought we were going to have to drag your comatose body out of there.ย โ completely unfazed by the lukewarm acceptance line, and ignoring the clear grouchy aura practically emanating from the dorm, erik clapped his friend on the back and pushed on in ( invited or not ). it was clear this was going to be a forceful evening of relaxation. spinning around to face henry, erik crossed his arms as he leaned on the counter to assess his friend.ย โ now sourpuss, is that any way to greet a guest ? i thought daddyย morbucks would have instilled better manners in you than that. and you know better than i that if i didnโt come here to cheer up your mopey ass you were just going to ignore your phone forever. this is an interventionย โ

anna missed kjekk. honestly, thereโs nothing like bonding with an animal and then being ripped away from them in a single moment, almost not even getting a chance to say goodbye. her flight to heathrow had been sooner than expected, and having to rush packing and saying goodbye to everyone except her sister was too much to handle, so she might have broken down a little, sobbing into his flanks. that couldnโt be his last memory of her until the summer !! so here she was, calling the stable master to see what could be done. the weather was nice, she was outside, and bothering no one with her obnoxiously loud norwegian arguing.ย โ no, iโm saying that i donโt care how he gets here, i just want him to be here. they have stables !! heโd be fine. i can see him every day - oh, โ she broke off, a shadow coming between her and the nice afternoon sun.ย โ sorry, am i too loud ??ย โ
x
henrik wasnโt usually an eavesdropperย โ at least that was what he would tell anybody who asked. but considering how loud the other girl was talking while he was awkwardly loitering nearby, waiting for his next class, perhaps it didnโt even count. itโs not like he could help overhearing what she was saying. then again, maybe it wasnโt her fault either ( henrik was easily overlooked even at the best of times ).ย
it was the language that really caught his attention, though, after listening to her chatter on for a few minutes. the easily recognizable lilt of his native tongue that had him shifting in just a tad closer than was probably socially acceptable. he hadnโt even clocked it as weird at first, so used to hearing it as just the norm, before it finally clicked that that was definitely not something he should be hearing at sherwood. after being immersed in the language his entire life, it sent a pang through his heart to realize now it had somehow become a novelty.ย
her actually addressing him, of course, sent a far larger pang through henrikโs heart. the deep rooted terror of being caught privy to information that wasnโt yours. ( not that he should be feeing wrongfooted, mind you, given that he was the one edging ever closer )ย โ oh !! um, no, youโre totally good ! โ henrik was quick to assure, flustered.ย โย seriously, not an issue. ignore me completely. iโm sure being worried about your ... horse would make anybody upset. โ he winced slightly โ in his attempts to backtrack, he hadย definitelyย inadvertently outed himself as eavesdropping.ย โ not that ... i would know. โ

Henry was just trying to lay low, knowing that even if he didnโt receive a letter, he could absolutely be thrown under the bus. His entire dorm could if the dean decided to go through phones, since Ciaran openly admitted to having those balloons under his bed in the guysโ group chat. That made them all partially guilty by default, but especially himself and his roommates - Henrik and Aladdin didnโt deserve that.
With that in mind, Henry kept his head down and got on with his day, avoiding anyone from Clumber House as much as he could - after all, he felt slightly guilty for not warning anyone about the balloons. In his efforts to keep to himself, he ended up missing the person walking towards him and knocking their shoulders together.ย โOh shit- Sorry! Sorry, I wasnโt looking-โ
if henry felt guilty, then henrik felt like he should feel that magnified by a hundred. he was the one that shared a damn bunk with the guy, after all. and had literally inquired about the balloons before it all went down. in hindsightย โย well, he could see why they were always ripping on him for being scatterbrained back home.ย and a little too trusting. โ weโre not going to get in trouble, are we ? โ he couldnโt help but blurt out at his roommate, the worries bouncing around his skull all spilling out in lieu of an apology. as if somehow henry was going to have all the answers just because he was slightly older and ten times more dignified.ย โ i mean, not that we really did anything, but like, co conspiracy is a thing, and i really think my dad would kill me if i fucked something up again ... โ

itโs a long boi so under the cut
๐ : which of the four seasons suits my muse best, and why? (Hiccup)
henrik is certainly most used to winter; he grew up in a tiny fishing town in northern norway ( seriously, the population is like, 300 people ) which didnโt exactly see the best weather. from the middle of november until the end of january, the sun literally doesnโt even rise at all, and theyโre slammed with constant gales and rain and hail almost 24/7. winter is basically a november through april affair. but if you can ignore the misery of it allย โ itโs actually quite beautiful. theย fjords are breathtaking and seeing the northern lights around the end of the year is a pretty regular sight. henrikโs gotten used to winter just being the norm, and he does love getting cozy at christmas
if i had to pick a season for his vibe though, i think iโm going with spring ? that point in time when the ice is just melting and the grass is peeking through, and everything has that kind of giddy feeling of new hope and renewal. youโre kind of tired and beaten down, but youโre trying god damnit and things are looking up
๐ : how stable is my museโs physical health? do they go for regular or semi-regular checkups by a physician? do they have any diagnosed illnesses and / or take any medication? how often do they get sick? (Wendy)
thereโs not much interesting to sayย โ wendyโs physical health is pretty good. a little overworked, maybe, and certainly not getting enough sleep, but no long standing illnesses or anything. as a result of her relatively affluent status she receives fairly good medical care and regular check ups so if anything was to ever come up they would be on it. itโs really her mental health thatโs kind of suffering rn oops
