Maverick stood at the front of the school and stared at it. He had never been one to get nervous and normally liked attention, but this was a whole new world. After quickly checking his uniform to make sure it all looked good, he took a deep breath to calm himself and went to take his first step until-
"Do you have your lunch?"
He stopped midstep and sighed with his head down in embarrassment. "Yes dad."
"And all your books? Pencils? Notebooks? A change of clothes? I change of underwear?"
"Dad! Holy shit!"
"Sorry! Sorry. It's just..." His dad took his face in his hands before petting his head. "You've never been alone for so long. What if some crazy fan comes for you? Or you end up unprepared and something goes horribly wrong? Or-"
"Dad!" He removed his dad's hands from him and instead put his hands on his old man's shoulders. "I did this to figure myself out. How am I going to do that if you hover over everything I do?"
His dad seemed to deflate but nodded with a sad smile and pat his head. "Right. You're right, it's just. Ugh, you grew up so quickly. When did you get so big and mature?"
"I make a living doing funny voices for cartoons. I'm mature?"
His dad chuckled and nodded. "Alright, just big then." Sighing he added, "Be careful. Don't get overwhelmed. If anything happens, call immediately."
"I will, dad." Patting his dad's shoulder, the actor turned to face the school again and took another breath. "Ok. Here we go." He took a few steps forward... then stopped, turned around, ran back to his dad, and jumped on him for a big hug.
"Love you." He noted quietly in the older man's ear, then hopped off him and jogged into the schoolyard, leaving his dad smiling at the gate for a bit before heading off.

A large black ball arrived to the front of the school. Harmonic tones released from it, as it gently released a tiny body from it's abyss. "Have a good day at work, papa." Pommery waved her father off, as he floated off to work. They weren't too worried about one another. The method of solving things was to just destro- mmm well, to be honest the young girl had stumbled onto her coven early in her arrival. They were teaching her something called conflict resolution. More importantly, she wasn't in unifor- mmm, there was a magic for that. Nevermind. She'd slowly strut toward school's courtyard to people watch. It's what she did until first period started. It's what everyone did before first period started... right? She was mainly just going to the flow. "Terra Dweller are so strange." She muttered, looking around before finding a quiet corner to sit in.
Simultaneously, Niihaishi cowered in fear of the large THING, that just dropped a freshman off. Buster City High was just getting weirder and weirder. He'd avoid eye contact, it was the only way. He hoped his new look would be worth it. He hoped his new look would give him confidence. He clammed up at the thought of his classmates possibly not recognizing him. That might actually be better... Also... since when did a famous person go to this school. Figure that. WAIT, SINCE WHEN DID A FAMOUS PERSON GO TO THIS SCHOOL?!!? The boy's goal here was to b-line passed everyone and go throw up in the bathroom. This place was so anxiety-inducing, he was shocked he made it passed his first day. Rather than a b-line, his cloudy thoughts led him to continue in a slow and almost model-sque strut. To the nearest vending machine. "Ginger-ale ought to fix things." He tapped the button vigorously, thinking doing so would speed up the process. A green tea came out. He took a moment to look at his finger placement, and- "Oh..." He was so anxious, he simply just pushed whatever button that was closest to the coin slot.

A dust cloud was seen in the distance. Something had been picking up speed and showed no signs of stopping. There were calls of annoyance and surprise wherever the cloud went. It was getting closer and closer to the school and it didn't seem deterred by the big thing that now passed by it that had previously stopped at the school itself. The sound of footsteps rapidly followed the cloud as the cries of shock grew louder and louder. The footsteps sounded thundering at this point as it was just now a stone's throw away from the schoolyard.
Just then, it stopped directly in front of the school and the cloud lingered. From it stood a lone figure that then leapt into the yard itself with arms raised.
"Salutations, Buster City High! Good morning!"
A green-skinned pink-haired rather tall female made her brazen entrance and declared in a loud voice so there was no way that anyone could have NOT noticed. She placed her fists on her hips and gave a self-assured nod. She looked quite proud of her display. Be loud and direct. That is what the book said to do. If you are heard, people will look. She then proudly strode into the yard looking chipper and ready to take on the day. Today, she was wearing her school uniform.

Well wasn't this just a fancy day... there were so many odd-balls rounding up at the high school that Akio just did not recognize. Or maybe he had just been too introverted to notice them. Regardless, the hyena beast-human would be seen riding over to the high school entrance as he'd kick off of his skateboard, catching the board and clutching it to his side, blinking twice as first thing he realized was... well, someone of high importance had just been dropped off, as he noticed Maverick for a while... but was quick to have his focus shift to the overly-energetic THING that just rushed past him, almost consuming him in its dust-cloud wake!
"H-HEY! Watch it!"
He yelped as he almost lost balance, glancing over to spot the green-skinned and pink-haired girl made her loud declaration, as he'd just huff a bit and roll his eyes. Some people... he just wanted to have a good day at school, this being his first day in sophomore year and all. He'd wander past the odd girl, and noticed Niihaishi being stuck at the vending machine, looking like he only just NOW realized what he had purchased.
"Trouble with the vending machine? It's kinda wonky sometimes, y'know?"

Maverick was in awe at all the other colorful characters that came through the gates. Each one got him more excited. One particular was damn attractive, but seemed nervous. Poor guy looked like he was gonna vomit any minute.
Pushing passed his fans and signing a few autographs along the way, the voice actor came over to check on the him. Looks like he wasn't the only one to take notice as an beastly boy also approach and mentioned the machine being messed up. Maverick was pretty intuitive with people. Character analysis was pretty similar to people analysis after all. Looking down the line of available drinks it wasn't hard to see what the boy was actually going for since he looked so queasy. Without hesitation he paid for a ginger ale and held it out to the hit guy in front of him.
"Here, trade me. I like green tea, its good for the throat." He noted with a gleaming smile. He also acknowledge the other guy with a nod. "Want anything? My treat. I'm Maverick. And you two?" This was it. Make friends! REAL friends! Not fans. Not costars. Actual friends his age! He couldn't help but beam at the prospect.

With his mistake plaguing him, Niihaishi eyed the machine as if it weren't his fault. He knew it was, but... today wasn't supposed to start off like this. Someone had caught up to him, and even spoken to him. It he wasn't entirely sure, but this kid was a sophmore as well right. Had they had classes together? To be fair, Niiihaishi was so deep into his own little world, that they could have even sat together, and he wouldn't have noticed. "The machine's not wonky, I am..." He replied with a glum expression. This person didn't seem threatening so far... -save for the hyena fangs. This was buster city though, oddballs were relatively normal here.
Up came the famous boy. Honestly he brought more attention than Niihaishi was prepared for or wanted. People stared and fawned after this Maverick-boy, and if he talked to himself and Akio, it meant eyes would be on them to. They weren't relatively on the same planet, what could possibly be so importa- "I think it's a fair trade. Green tea taste like piss." There wasn't a filter despite his shy behavior. He'd quickly exchange the pi-green tea for the ginger ale, and stare at it. This wasn't an ordinary ginger ale anymore, but a famous ginger ale. Was drinking it really an option? Probably not. He'd tuck it in his bag so he could dwell on it later. "I'm a second year, Shiratori Niihaishi. I prefer Niihaishi, or Niiha."
He angled himself toward Akio. Was Maverick trying to buy their friendship? It felt like it... Though Niihaishi was a poor judge of such things. He'd never had a friend before. His home base of safety was the library where on could be solitary and as quiet as they wished.
(OOC: two characters feels like too much here, I'll just act like Pommery went to class or something)
