Open Starter: Staying Dry

Mackenzie hummed to herself, scrolling through messages from her nod. Devon had gone antiquing with Charlie and their siblings to find things to decorate the new house. She smiled softly, wrinkling her nose when she scrolled past a picture of an old painting. She hadn’t liked it at all. It looked creepy.

The oracle’s eyes shimmered gold, glowing slightly. Sprinklers? Sprinklers. She shook her head, blinking away the glow. “The sprinklers are about to turn on,” she instinctively blurted out. She looked around. Thankfully the courtyard seemed empty other than herself. So why...?

Mackenzie froze and stared at a person who had been standing close enough to hear her. Shit. “Uh... My mom works here. So-So I know the schedule.” She cleared her throat. “Sorry. We should get somewhere to stay dry.”

Open Starter: Beautiful

Emala felt different the second she stepped off the ship. She was actually very surprised at the place. It was so... beautiful. The school was an old castle, the trees were in full bloom, there were all types of flowers... She'd never seen anything like it. Not even in Syracuse.

The pirate wandered the grounds. She didn't see any maps anywhere. That was a little more than just a tad annoying. Any place should have extra maps laying around. She grumbled, then walked up to a random person, putting on a sweet smile as she tapped their shoulder.

"Hey there," she said. "I'm new here, I just came in about ten minutes ago, and I have no idea where I'm going. Where do I find Fairy Godmother's office?"

Open Starter: Clumsy (Brynn/Judd)

"Come on, Daddy!" Brynn laughed, dragging her father along behind her. "We've got things to do, food to eat, and games to play!"

"The only game I'd be interested in playing is cornhole," Judd chuckled. He let himself be pulled by his daughter, shaking his head.

"Well we can play cornhole! There's all kinds of people for you to meet, too! Maleficent is even here!"

Judd rolled his eyes playfully. "Okay, come on. Let's get some punch and then we can go play the best game on the planet."

Brynn grinned and turned, ready to rush to the punch bowl, but just running straight into somebody. She gasped. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry!"

"Please excuse my daughter," Judd said, putting his arm around Brynn's shoulders, "she doesn't like to look where she's going."

Brynn smacked his arm lightly, looking back at the person. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to run into you."

“I don’t like being told what to do. Tell me I can’t, and that’s why I will.”

Open Starter: Sugar

Brynn closed her eyes, reaching up to put a hand to her head. She was dizzy. Really dizzy. And lightheaded. Which was never a good combination.

She pulled out her phone and, leaning against the wall, opened her dexcom app. "Jesus, 65?" She groaned softly. She hated being low and not feeling it until she was really low.

She stumbled over to somebody. "Hey, I'm sorry but do you-" She closed her eyes for a second. "Do you have any candy? Something sugary? I'm- I'm dangerously low and I need to boost my sugar."
