“You too, bro!” the Californian answered, subtly reminding Nevada that his unexpected disappearance had been part of the reason for his staying up. “I actually slept even less than that, mind you. Did Houdini teach you that trick? You should teach me how to disappear like that! It would sure help when Mexi blows up at us again!” He wondered why María didn’t get mad at Nevada or Utah, considering that they had both joined him, New Mex, Arizona, and Texas in seceding for the Union.
A French voice, speaking words of introduction, caught his attention, and Landon smoothly redirected his right hand, which had been aiming to playfully shove Marcus back, into a firm shake of Picardy’s proffered hand. “Shujinko, a pleasure,” he said grandly. “Landon’s the name, and California’s my domain. Is there a lot of Japanese influence in your province?” he asked, unable to resist. The cat ears reminded him of something that he couldn’t quite put his finger on…

°o.O—¤ 𝔗ris ¤—O.o° εїз The Tennessee Walking Horse εїз If the Math teacher had hoped to get through the class period without some sort of crazy incident then said teacher was about to be sorely disappointed. Without warning the door to the classroom burst open and a chestnut brown mare trotted in excitedly carrying England across her back. The horse scanned the room, expecting to find her special person here. Certainly there were states here, but not the one she had been hoping to find. Iris' brown eyes dimmed slightly with disappointment although she was glad to spot there was at least a Southerner among them.
Ignoring the stunned teacher and students, Iris trotted over to where Florida was and tried to get the Southern state to wake up and hopefully point her in the right direction. The mare nudged him gently yet firmly hoping to get his attention without needing to knock him out of his chair.

 Picardy
Shujinko Bonnefoy
The Trickster Sophomore “Pleasure to meet you as well Monsieur Landon.” Picardy scowled when Japan was brought up. “I don't know what Francis was thinking when he named me that.” he said, a hint of anger creeping into his usually calm tone. Picardy nearly jumped out of his chair when a HORSE trotted into the classroom. And people called his ferret a strange pet!
Already finished with the simple math assignment, and bored now that Florida was asleep, Georgia was close to falling asleep himself when a horse trotted in and began to attempt to wake Florida up. “Hey Rutilio!” He said, giving the state a little shove to try and wake him up. “I think zhis horse wants you.” Georgia

The State of Florida
Rutilio Acosta Carriedo
Grade 10
The Sunny Sophomore!
Florida isn't so much a place
where one goes to reinvent oneself,
as it is a place where one goes
if one no longer wished to be found.
☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Rutilio whined softly and tried to bury his head into his arms when something began to nudge him. The smell and distinctive feel of that something told the rancher it had to be a horse, but he didn't remember doing any herding before he fell asleep. "Carmelita... I will put the cattle to pasture later..." he mumbled drowsily, thinking it was the Florida Cracker Horse who was disturbing him.
It was only when Georgia stepped in to shove him, too, that the state sat up in a hurry, blinking in confusion at his surroundings. He'd never taken Kartlos to see his cattle herds before. Heck, most other states didn't know of his historical prominence in cattle raising! The Floridian gave his Georgian friend a startled look before he finally noticed the chestnut coated mare standing behind them. "Mios dio!" he yelped. "What is Iris doing in Math class!? A-Am I still drunk...? You will not fool me this time, illusion horse!" ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>
<> Florida has its own rhythm, too.
People go to work,
they watch their children learn and grow
and start families of their own.
They play in the sun and pass their lives
enjoying the outsized blessings
that make our state unique.

Landon was surprised to hear Shujinko vehemently deny any connection whatsoever to Japan. At the same time, he remembered what those ears reminded him of. "Maybe France had been dreaming when he named you?" he asked. "By the way," he added, "I love your ears; they're so soft-looking, like the California Spangled cats we have back home!" Landon always found it fun to pet the leopardlike animals, but no one had brought them here...
He jumped when Picardy jumped, and soon saw why: A horse trotted boldly into the math class, England on its back, head raised as if looking for someone. Landon recognized the equine as Tennessee's. He grinned mischievously when he saw England. Time to poke fun at the adopted Motherland! "Nice eyebrows, England!" he joked, wondering as well why the self-proclaimed gentleman was even riding Tennessee's horse.

1. Don't run in halls
2. Get along with everyone
3. Survival of the fittest Arthur Kirkland
Student Vice President
Member of the Disciplinary Committee
The Junior GentlemanArthur wasn't prepared when the horse practically threw him onto it's back like some corny Hollywood movie Alfred always showed. There wasn't much time to react other than to hold on as the horse jumped over the desk in the office and trotted down the hall into a classroom of sophomores. Once the horse had stopped, Arthur sat up to get a better look on the situation. He quickly addressed the teacher, showing them the Discipline Committee Arm band that he had to show that he was working on resolving the issue. "Terribly sorry, as I announced on the intercom, we're trying to find this horse's owner..." The Brit soon stopped as he herd Florida say something about the mare, but not before he threw Landon an evil glare first. "Rutilio? You know this horse?" Giving a serious look waiting on the state's answer. (Out of Tea: the announcement was made in another class since I didn't think it was necessary to post in every class ^.^; )

He was in such a hurry to stand he tripped and fell back into Georgia's lap but didn't linger on the odd new position he found himself in. The state practically clung to Kartlos Scooby style as he tried to come to terms with his latest drunken illusion. It was one of the oddest ones yet.
"I-I believe so... That is Iris, is it not?" Rutilio glanced at his siblings for confirmation hoping they could see this crazy thing, too. California had talked to England so that was a good sign that maybe Florida wasn't drunk or crazy and this was seriously happening. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

“That’s her name? All I remembered was that she’s Andrew’s.” Landon looked quizzically at his gulf brother. “Did you sleep well last night?” he asked. “You look tired! I know! You had too much fun partying last night, right?”
Alta had no idea how accurate he was, for he had arrived late at night without any inclination to stalk his siblings and had stayed up late in his dorm himself.

The Junior Gentleman "So her name is Iris..." England looked even more serious now, his face started to darken. "Does this mean she is yours?" Now the answer to this question would determine this poor Rutilio's fate. That is until Landon said something, causing Arthur to snap out of the dark mode. "Andrew?" he blinked trying to recall why that name seemed so familiar... Oh right! It's the name of that Runt of a state. The brit wasn't too pleased to know that it was Tennessee that's causing him trouble right now. (Out of Tea: )

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Florida saw the dark look overcoming England's face and clung tighter to poor Kartlos. He remembered all too well being punished by his former empire and it wasn't an experience he wanted to repeat. Not that the horse was his, but Rutilio had been forced to take the blame and punishment for more than a few things in the past that weren't his fault, either. "I-I am innocent!" he squeaked as his blue eyes turned watery, hoping that he could "sad face" his way out of this if push came to shove.
Luckily Landon stepped in to save the day and Florida sighed with relief when the real culprit's name was unveiled. He looked over at his savior as his usual cheerful smile came back. "I would say too much tequila if such a thing was possible," Rutilio said. "I have a terrible hangover and I do not remember most of the night... So it was great!" He still didn't seem the least bit bothered by the fact he was still hanging out in the poor Kartlos' lap at the moment. For now it was his safe spot until all danger had passed. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

°o.O—¤ 𝔗ris ¤—O.o°εїз The Tennessee Walking Horse εїз Iris flicked her tail and lightly pawed at the ground with one of her hooves while England and the students chatted. She had hoped Florida could tell her which way to go to find her state, but he was acting oddly again. The horse didn't see what the big deal was about showing up in a school building. Everyone else was doing it so she couldn't see the problem.
When Iris heard Andrew's name mentioned her ears perked up and she whinnied happily in agreement. If the ceiling had been a little higher she might have raised onto her back legs, but instead she had to content herself with stomping her hooves a little. The mare impatiently nudged California almost as if trying to encourage him to tell her where Tennessee had gotten to now. Iris had come a very long way from home to see him and she was anxious to find her state.

Arthur’s dark look unnerved the Californian, and he hoped fervently for two things. The first was that poor Andrew knew what he had coming, and the second, that England went easy on the fellow state.
As he thought, Rutilio affirmed partying as the reason for his present exhaustion. “So you did party last night! And you didn’t even invite me? For that, I should set my super-spy attack dogs on you!” Landon’s melodramatic pout was rapidly replaced with an equally melodramatic evil grin. He wouldn’t mind, though, if he actually got to witness a showdown between journalistic aggression and reptilian aggression someday.
He jolted a bit when Iris nudged him. The mare probably wanted to know where Andrew was. But he had no idea himself. "Easy, girl," he said, rubbing her neck placatingly. "I don't know where he is either, but you probably don't want Arthur getting ahold of him." Fantasies of England's dungeons flooded his imaginative mind, and he shuddered.

The Junior Gentleman England hadn't expect Florida to turn on the water works. He felt a little bad until he heard that he had a hang over... that explains a bit. Arthur took notice as to how Iris was acting to Andrew's name so Tennessee must be the owner, if not he should know who is. "If it really is Andrew then I'll be heading to the freshman class. After all that is my job as part of the Discipline Committee. Thank you Rutilio." The brit would of apologize if it weren't for other students in the room, so a 'thank you' should do. He grabbed hold of the reigns. (Out of Tea: )
