Auradon

Food Fright!

Fresh food stores have been running low! And with a focus on trying to get to the Isle rather than to farms or stores... the pickings are getting kind of slim. Well, there was enough shelf stable food to feed a whole school and castle worth of people, but is it really worth anything without fresh fruit and ice cream? Maybe you drew the short straw and have to make a meal with this. Or maybe this is a ton of food and you're sick of the griping and determined to make a meal they'll never forget out of the "scraps" they all turned their noses up at. Or maybe you just popped in to get a snack and someone else was already cooking. No matter what the story is, the kitchen is a little weird right now. So... how hungry are you?

Zen And The Art Of The Lawn

One of the first things most people noticed when they arrived at Auradon Prep was the perfectly manicured vibrantly green lawns. Well, now that some time has passed without a staff, the lawns are starting to look a little... not perfect. The king mentioned in passing that he was trying to figure out a solution, that while he knew there were other priorities he still wanted to fix this problem. And being the do-gooder you must be to land here... Well, perhaps you have some ideas how to mow and revitalize the landscaping?

The Isle

Un-Fun House Hall Of Mirrors

Somehow you wandered into Mother Gothel's office and it is just amazing. Oh, no sorry, it is just a maze. Of mirrors. It is hard enough to find a way out, but a glimpse of a face that isn't yours tells you that you might not be alone here after all....

Homeschool

Doc F, the headmaster gave everyone what might have been a homework assignment, if any of the students could actually make it home. But since everyone was trapped in the school, he decided to have everyone make it home in a different way. The current assignment was to make some part of the school feel more like it belonged to you. Make your mark. Claim your space. He made available spray paint and markers and all sorts of things most adults didn't want you using on school property. But then, the headmaster wasn't most adults, was he?

Rren gave pause then. "I just wish I knew her better. Because I do not know what she might be doing and do not know how I feel about interrupting. And.. this does not seem like something I could scrounge from a classroom like I have been with paints."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"Well, if nothing else, this would be a way to get to know her better, wouldn't it?" Ian considered what Rren had said. "Do you... have a crush on her?"

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren choked at that, unable to hold back that sudden and shocked of a reaction. "No." A pause. "Ah, I can see how I gave that impression. No, it is more... she is one of the leaders here, the idea makes approach a bit. Daunting."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"Ah. Well I can understand that. Is there a proper title she prefers?"

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

"Not sure if preference quite suits, but Queen is the accurate title. King Ben and Queen Mal."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"So.... your highness? Your majesty?" They asked, looking and sounding unsure. A king and queen? Really? Somewhere other than England?

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren shrugged. "I have heard both used for them in formal settings, though this may be because most of us are uncertain which title to use in this sort of setting. Outside of that they seem to mostly use their names."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"Names work. You are kidding about the whole king and queen thing, right?"

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren shook there head. "While I admit, it would be a fun joke, no. And most of us are unused to monarchies either, so it is... strange."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"Seriously?" Ian asked. "I think this may be the weirdest part of arriving here yet."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Amusement lit across Rren's expression. "I am in the top 5 at least, I trust?"

From:

ian_never_wrong

Ian chuckled. "Top five of best parts, anyway."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren flushed, trying their best to look disappointed and failing. Utterly. "I, ah, I would think a Synth in a human body would have to have some significant ranking for strange. But I suppose I am up against an alternate reality with such things as magic and a monarchy. So I understand."

From:

ian_never_wrong

Ian chuckled. "Given the technology I work with, I'd say more fascinating and inspiring than strange."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren paused a long moment, considering. "I will take it." They leaned back somewhat. "We still need a break, even if I did not think through my initial purpose. I do not wish to be scolded because we are still in here when Aqua comes to find me for tomorrow morning's training.

From:

ian_never_wrong

"But then you could rightfully claim you had been awake the whole time and needed rest...?"

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

"Having met Aqua, do you truly believe that would be effective?"

From:

ian_never_wrong

"You... may have a point there..."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

"I know I have a point, thus enforcing taking breaks." A pause and they put a hand on Ian's arm. "Also for your sake, you will not remember much even under ideal conditions if you work so hard your brain fogs from fatigue."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"You really do sound like Magic sometimes," they muttered, running a hand through their hair.

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Once again Rren gave a confused expression and then it dawned on them. Right. They had mentioned a person named Magic. The confusion shifted to a mix of sheepishness and realization. "Clearly he is an amazing person."

"Now ah, what do we want to do for our break?"

From:

ian_never_wrong

"He is. Sometimes anyway." A hint of a grin, of someone used to teasing with friends. "Well.... we could just work on something easier. Like when I used to get yelled at to take a break so I moved on to programming. This time we're moving off of programing of course..."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren shook their head, amused. "I am uncertain that distinction would hold water with my friends, but.. hmm. I suppose we could go back to the Ecological Disaster Maintainer? Or I could show you around. I am uncertain how much exploring you have done on your own though."

From:

ian_never_wrong

"I think both sound good, but perhaps the EDM is the way to go."

From:

cheep_soongbird_knockoff

Rren did not quite beam at Ian using EDM, but it pleased them. A lot. They pushed hair from their eyes and nodded. "That works." They stood and paused. "If we get scolded, I am blaming you."
