When We Were Young

[Phantom]

I know everyone's been dying to get this started, so here we go.

Basic premise is that characters are kids, around 6 or 7 age-wise, and are in kindergarten together. Just a cute thread to have characters interacting with one another as little kids and to have cute kid shenanigans in. No post order, but please don't let this thread get too fast. I want everyone to have fun with it.

Cast list:
Phantom - Crona and Maka
Partner - Captain Amelia
Patchy - Beatrice and Giselle
ZeeWolfsbane - Dr. Doppler and Jumba
Solaurea - Clopin and Taylor
Sapphire - Vixey
Tsukaiz - Saya
Mo - Miyuki and possibly Chibitalia

Somehow, Maka had a good feeling that the day would be a fairly enjoyable one. Nothing had gone wrong when she had been getting ready for school, her papa hadn't gotten on her nerves that morning, and the weather was absolutely perfect without a single cloud in the sky. It was easy to see that Maka was in good spirits as she entered the little classroom. Well, not so much a 'class' room as it was a playroom, seeing as they were still young and weren't so much taught as they were kept an eye on by their teacher. Either way, Maka was prepared to enjoy the day.

Seeing as she was the first to arrive, Maka settled herself at the drawing table and took a piece of paper from the pile set in the middle of the table next to a box of crayons. Was it that her artistic inspiration had been sparked somehow? No. Maka just wanted to draw while she had a chance.

The second arrival was a more timid looking little boy. Crona had never been the bravest boy in the world, and it was made more obvious by the fact that he was just standing a little bit away from the door and looking out of place. He just didn't know what he ought to be doing. The poor boy did want to approach Maka, he wanted to draw with her, but was too timid to make a move. So he just stood where he was and watched, shifting his feet awkwardly against the rug and keeping one hand covered over the other.

(ooc: Anyone, feel free to give Crona a push of encouragement. CX)

The third arrival to the classroom was a bit more rambunctious, dragging along a young girl behind him.
The boy with the oversized hat was Clopin Trouillefou. Faced with heavy prejudice in his young life, he figured there wasn't much to be happy about, that is, until he began to attend this "school" of sorts. At least, that's what his parents called it. It was there that he'd gotten the chance to meet many new kids. But, there was one kid who managed to become his friend, and rather quickly.

The girl being dragged was Taylor Ruse. She had a rough life as well, since her near-death experience. At a much younger age, she'd become infected with a hydroglistic bacteria, of the type you'd find in mold. It was a miracle that she made it out alive, but at the same time, the experience made her and her parents extremely cautious of her surroundings. When she began to attend school, many of the kids there thought her unusual. Only one of the other kids, Clopin, came to be one that she considered a "friend".

But on this particular day, both had a feeling that the day would be different from the others. In a good way, of course. And this time, Clopin had forced Taylor to change into some new clothes, being shorts and a regular t-shirt, instead of the bundled up mess she was always in. Taylor was a bit uncomfortable about the whole thing, and as Clopin sped past her, she was left by the door...next to a small, timid looking boy.

"Hi there." Taylor said quietly, offering a small, gap-toothed smile.

[Patchy]

The forth to arrive was a young girl, she had no time to really change into something more playful being it the first day, so she was wearing a fancy dress, all the while the rose still in her hair. Like Crona, she was a bit nervous. "Excuse me..." she slid by Crona.

[Phantom]

The fact that someone was actually greeting him surprised Crona. Usually he was looked upon as the quiet, weird kid and was typically ignored. Still, he had to admit it was nice being acknowledged. "H-Hi." Crona greeted quietly as he looked to Taylor. She looked quite friendly, actually. More so than the kids he was used to. The ones that mainly made fun of him for his strange pink hair and quiet ways. "M-My name's Crona." Crona decided to say. It only made sense that he should introduce himself. After all, he didn't know this girl. Perhaps she would want to be his friend.

Maka looked up from her paper, not all that surprised to see others were beginning to arrive. The green-eyed girl smiled a little and waved to the others that had come in. She wondered if maybe they would like to join her in drawing. "Hey... do you guys wanna draw with me? There's lotsa room here." Maka offered.

[Mo]

Seated on the floor was another little girl, this one pink-haired and adorable as could be. She was being a quiet girl and playing with building blocks, trying to make a tower that was perfectly balanced and even on all sides. One could call her a slightly precocious child, but Miyuki Takara was never one completely for fantasies, instead posessing the strange desire to expand what little knowledge she had.
The tower was starting to reach over her head by now. She decided to pause her work for a moment, seeing new children arrive out of the corner of her eye. She smiled widely. She liked having new kids to talk to.
The smile faded a bit when she saw Crona looking extremely bashful near the door, Beatrice sliding up to him... her... him? Miyuki was a little baffled, but set it aside, whoever this was, they needed a little push, so she stood up and pranced over the the pink-haired boy and politely said, "Good morning."

[Patchy]

Beatrice gave a tiny smile at Maka and walked over. "C-can i join you?" she asked. Beatrice was not one to be great at things, in fact most of the time she would rather run and have fun. However, if someone was willing to open up and be her friend then Beatrice took her chance.

A red haired girl wearing three pink flowers in a braid skipped into the classroom, she was wearing a small pink dress and pink flats. A smile on her face, she made her way over to open a window. "Good morning little friends." she called out to the birds before turning to do something else.

[Phantom]

Crona blinked, just a bit surprised to see another pink haired child present. Perhaps it wasn't as strange as he had initially thought. Either way, Miyuki was speaking to him as well. Maybe standing so close to the door hadn't been a good idea after all. Oh well... you're here now. he reminded himself.

"Good morning." Crona said back, timidness melting away just a tiny bit. "I uh... guess I'm kinda in the way of the door, huh?" Crona offered a tiny laugh as he spoke. It must have been inconvenient to have to go around him. He did think he ought to move out of the way. He would do so soon enough.

Maka smiled and nodded in response to Beatrice's question. "Of course! There's plenty of room for everybody, and I don't mind having some company." Maka replied. "My name's Maka, by the way." she greeted.

[Mo]

Miyuki giggled a little. "Just a little bit. Are you gonna go and play with everyone else?" she asked, head tilting a bit. This new boy seemed extremely shy, so it probably went without saying that he didn't want to go and play with the others. Not yet, at least.

[Patchy]

Beatrice smiled as she took a seat. "I'm Beatrice." she glanced around the room with a tiny smile. While her father had insisted on home-schooling her, Beatrice was glad her mother had decided against it. She was looking forward to making new friends

[Phantom]

"I... uh..." play with the others? What if they made fun of him? What if they didn't like him? Crona didn't know if he could deal with that. Instead, he let a small sigh escape him and shook his head. "...Don't know if I should." he explained quietly. He at last moved just a tiny bit further away from the door, making it easier for anyone else who wanted to walk in to do so, but remained uncertain of what he should do. Both Taylor and Miyuki were at least making an effort to speak with him. That was a good start.

[Solaurea]

"Name's Taylor. It's nice to meet you, Crona." she said, before sidling away herself. Too many people were beginning to come by the door, and she felt just a little overwhelmed. Clopin had busied himself with coloring some fantastical picture..in his terms of "fantastic".

"What'cha doin' there?" she asked, peering over his shoulder.
"Coloring. What else does it look like?"
"Scribbles."
"Does not!"
"Does too!"

Taylor then marched away, and back to Crona and Miyuki. "So hey..do you guys wanna play or something?" she asked.

[ZeeStitch]

Nervous little alien boys entered the classroom. First was Jumba Jookiba. He carried his 'Saturn is Cool' lunchbox and wore a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that had the molecular structure of sugar on it.

Beside him was little Dr. Doppler. He wore overalls and a blue shirt and had on his backpack. He waited for someone to talk to him. Jumba waited as well.

[Mo]

Miyuki frowned. She could understand a bit of the shyness, but surely the boy should at least want to play? Maybe not with others, of course. But even so.
"Is there anything... you wanna do?" she asked.

[Patchy]

Giselle turned to see two new faces. They looked a little different from the other people. But who was she to judge on appearances? She approached Jumba and Doppler. "Hello there, are you two new?" she asked with a friendly smile.

[ZeeStitch]

"Ih," Jumba replied, "Jumba is new. So is fuzzy alien dog boy here." Doppler adjusted his glasses and looked to the floor. He was very nervous. "My name is Jumba," he said, "This is Doppler. What is your name, little girl?"
