It was a pleasant morning at Once Upon a High. The sky was cloudless and a bright robin’s egg blue. It was sunny, and if you listened hard enough, you could hear the chirping of birds and the scampering of chipmunks in the trees. It was the first day of classes at Once Upon a High, but no one was awake yet. The halls were empty, save a few cleaning fairies scrubbing the tile. Headmaster Grimm was in his office, of course at his desk scribbling furiously. Sweat dripped from his forehead and onto the yellow pages of the book he was writing in. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night-which he hadn’t-dark circles under his eyes, and messy white hair. He glanced up at the clock-it was almost time. He couldn’t stop now. He kept scribbling, the clock ticking as he did so.
The castleteria manager was stressed. It was the first day , but they were incredibly understaffed as well as behind. It seemed no one was listening to her, everyone doing something different. The eggs were blackening to a crisp, the ice cream maker had magic oozing out of the sides. How would she get everyone together? It wouldn’t be long before the students came in, expecting to be fed.
Kacie walked by only to her what sounded like complete chaos. “Do you need help with that, Miss?” She asked with a smile as she entered the kitchen. The smile disappeared as the woman explained and chaos still happened. “LISTEN UP!” Kacie grabbed a quick drink of water, she didn’t like yelling but everything that was happening was honestly a nightmare. She assessed the situation, noting the limited number of workers on duty as well as the increasing number of burnt food, “Ok, first everyone stop what you’re doing and go wash your hands. I don’t care if you already did, do it again. And you, put on a hairnet.” She washed her hands and put on a hairnet as well. Kacie then grabbed a menu off the wall, she glanced over it and nodded. “Ok, it looks like we have three flapjacks with a syrup river and 4 oinkers on the farm. There’s also…” She scanned the list muttering to herself and nodded before turning to the woman, “Ok, given the surprising number of extra crispy eggs, I’ll take the goose’s treasure chest with Mother Nature’s greens dish and the flapjacks, you give the rest dishes fitting their strengths then you will deliver the orders to us, got it?” The manager paused, her eyes wide. “…What she said.”
Soon, everything was alright, and the castleteria as well as the school hallways filled with the smells of a good, healthy breakfast. “Thank you so much for your help…” The woman paused, not even knowing the girl’s name. “Kacie.” She finished helpfully. “Oh! Yes. Thank you, Kacie.” The woman pulled out a few slightly crinkled golden tickets from her apron pocket. “Here, you can have these. Each of them is good for a free breakfast or dinner.” At first, the student humbly refused, but the woman insisted. After Kacie accepted, the room began to fill with more students, attracted to the smell.
The students were everywhere now-the hallways, classrooms, and Castleteria. Some dressed in uniforms, others not. Some hurrying for their classes, others seeing if they could get away with ditching. With so many different kinds of people, it was going to be an interesting first year let alone first day …

♔ castleteria
students are free to grab breakfast in the castleteria [maybe even with a friend], however breakfast costs money. please check the student guidebook for the breakfast menu and how much each item costs. you can just say “she got her food and paid”, you don’t have to wait for me to rp the castleteria workers. student’s dorm pantries are stuffed full of food, so they can also make their own breakfast for free. or they can just not have breakfast/ditch and head into town for a restaurant.
♔ uniforms
students are required to wear uniforms which they received along with their invitation. check the student guidebook for dress code rules. however, they are free to break dress code and wear something else. if they do this, i will put them into a large wheel called the dress coding wheel of shame. the students the wheel pick will be warned and maybe even given a punishment.
characters & starting your intro posts
let me start with this-i do not expect you to rp all of your characters at once-especially if you have a crazy amount!! you can choose which of your characters you want to play as or you can do all of them if you’re crazy. just because you don’t RP a character going to classes doesn’t mean i’ll mark them as absent or give them a bad grade. i hope all of this makes sense!! for intro posts, they have to be at least 4-5 sentences. you can post them individually or all in one big post, i am fine with either.
note : @FTDFam please do not post any introduction posts until I give the ok. if you have any comments or questions, please quote and add on the chat thread! ^-^ I recommend clicking all the arrows. I hope this was helpful.
also this Friday (i think) we are time skipping to third period!!
