tale as old as time 🌹

Herkie knew what had to be done, if he wanted to prove he could be a great hero like his father this was his chance. He couldn’t do it alone though, he would need help and he knew exactly who could join him.

“I won’t let you down father!”

He went to the dorm and knocked on a door. “Hey, would you join me to go on a quest to save Everett Andal?”

it been a long day of trying to get things back to normal on campus. she was tired and everett was still in the back of her mind as she attempts to put together some thoughts for events to hype people up again. to show that if they could come together, everything will be okay in the end.

tempest had never been one to handle emotion very well. she could admit that, or at the least, she could admit it to herself. the truth was that all this missing prince business was bothering her a bit more than she wanted to let on - and how bothered everyone else seemed to be only made it worse. she hated the tension, and she hated the seriousness of it all. she didn’t really know how to deal with it, so she fell back on her usual tried and true tactics of dealing with difficult situations - that is, acting even more impulsive and odd than usual, and absolutely not dealing with anything. “you, yeah you! hey, i need your super important, totally honest opinion on something.” she called, catching the attention of the first person she saw, and striking a pose. “how hot would i look with a sword? pretty hot, right? but do you think i’d be hot enough to make it worth all the work i’d have to put into joining the fencing team?” 

ever since the incident with the missing prince and then that weird computer message, cj had been avoiding most people on the campus. this included skipping her classes and art club. the young pirate knew it was only a matter of time before auradon turned on those from the isle again. finding a secluded place on campus, the blonde settled on the grass, leaning against a tree before opening her sketch book. after a few minutes, cj groaned before ripping out the page and tossing it next to her, “this is just great..”

Lucy smiled. “I was saying that we should get away for the weekend. Take a day trip to Tangletown or Sherwood forest, or something.” She shrugged. “Everyone’s been so tense lately, I kinda need to get away, you know?” She had another motive for suggesting the trip: roommate bonding. She didn’t think she had much in common with Hazel, but she still wanted to try to be her friend anyways, and what better way to start a friendship than a mini-vacation?

Jay knew of Hazel. She was Ben’s sister and somehow he had become good friends with Ben, knowing that he was a good person. So really she would be good too right? He also knew that Hazel was student body president and if he felt bad about the missing boy, she must be feeling worse.  “A walk, I haven’t really had a chance to fully explore all the campus or really whatever you want to do.:” Jay said with a charming smile.

being ben’s little sister resulted in her knowing a lot of his friends -- some she even befriended herself. she always knew that jay had good intentions deep down and she was glad to see his growth within the time he had been in auradon. a soft smile spreads across her face as she nods her head. “that sounds good to me! have you been anywhere outside of auradon?” she questions curiously as she began to walk besides him. 

mal didn’t expect to have gotten close to hazel especially as close as they gotten over the course of the last few years. “i was asking if you wanted to do something, you know, get our minds off everything,” she knew that the stress that was on her was also on the princess and the king. it felt like it was their problem outside of belle and adam’s to solve this. “is everything okay?” she wondered, “besides the obvious.” 

ever since Everett dissapeared, Jay had felt like he was somewhat responsible. It had happened on the way back from a tourney bonding party and as captain he should of made sure the had walked back together in a group, or something. Needing some time to just not think about anything he needed a bit of fun. “Hey wait up. I have a question for you.” He ran up to the first person he saw. “How do you feel like having a bit of fun?” 

hazel was on edge as everett had been reported missing. those random messages that everyone been receiving was something that she wanted to solve. as president of the student body, she wanted to ensure that everyone was safe and as soon as the missing person’s report filed through it made her heart drop. lost in thought about the latest message, she didn’t realize someone was talking to her until he ran up to her. hazel tilted her head to the side a bit before nibbling on her bottom lip. “um.. what exactly do you have in mind?” 

( LAURA MARANO || EIGHTEEN || CIS-FEMALE || SHE/HER ) HAZEL FLORIAN is the child of BELLE & BEAST. they’re currently a FRESHMAN & MUSIC & NURSING major at auradon royal university, where they’re described by friends as +BUBBLY. however, others sometimes complain that they’re -NAIVE. maybe that’s why they’re called the MEDIATOR around campus.
