 George "Christian" JonesGeorgia, U.S.A.Freshman
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from  Georgia heard someone approach, but hoped they were too involved in their own work that they would ignore him or pretend he wasn't there. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be. He heard a familiar voice and raised his head to look up to Leilani with tear-filled cyan eyes filled with surprise.
As she made her way around the booth, he quickly began rubbing at his eyes with the back of his jacket sleeve, trying to hide his crying like a child. Of all the people he didn't want seeing him being weak and in tears, his baby sister Hawaii was on the top of the list.
He looked up to her blushing lightly at being caught and pouted... Before his eyes grew wide and be quickly turned his head away, face turnin bright red. In a flurry of cloth, Georgia's jacket was whipped off fast enough to break the speed of light and quickly thrown over the Hawaiin, the first few buttons buttoned so she at least had the freedom of her stomach being exposed.
"Right now what's troubling me is that my little sister decides to be a nudist the one day I'm not totin a tomahawk or my M16! That's what!" Once satisfied that she was decent enough (although, slapping a turtleneck sweater on her was sounding like a good plan right about now), he sighed softly. He then looked up to her, knowing full well there was no sense in lying to her.
"... If you really want to know.... I think the family hates me because I'm bisexual and dating Rutilio... Uh, Florida...." He sighed and looked down, hugging his knees against his cheat once more. "I understand if you hate me. God knows I've hated myself for a long time for even having those feelings from the time I met Florida back when I was a brand new colony, but.... It was considered wrong back then, so I never let anyone know... But last night, Rutilio and I both found out that we've loved one another for a long time, and California wanted to turn it into a movie. Florida got mad, Cali threatened him, I punched him in his golden-boy face, and now I'm convinced you're the only one who doesn't completely despise me aside from Rutilio..."

 ~The Yellow Hammer State~ "Johnny Kane" Johnny gladly took two, no, three bottles of whiskey fromhis booth, and handed two to Tennessee."Here ya are buddy! Two of the state spirits!" He exclaimed happily, before opening his bottle, and taking a swig.
He saw his older brother Georgia however...Looking a bit down.So he used his old "Back toss" trick and tossed the peach state a bottle with a note on it when Andrew wasn't looking.The note, which, even when scribbled hastily and behind his back, still looked neater than a nun's house.The note read;
"Seems like quite a mess you got into...Drink up, and forget about the world for a moment!

(icons are linked to songs either from or about North Carolina. Not all of them are necessarily my favorites.) "First In Flight"
The Tarheel State
The Old North State
North Carolina, USA
Charlotte C. "Jones"
Freshman So Georgia was part of the newspaper club. There were things she wanted to ask of him but they were for another time. Before she could interject the two, the Volunteer state continued with his vent. "Andrew!" the elder state cried for her little brother, but he had already turned and walked away. All this anger really wasn't helping anything and it was hurting her emotionally to see her family get torn apart so easily. Next thing she knew, Georgia ran off. "Christian!" Now what was she to do? Both brothers were hurting. Luckily Johnny took the notion to comfort Andrew, which was good since Tennessee needed to cool off. However Charlotte remembered the last time the Georgian ran off being upset at the last event. Before the Tarheel could run after she had to place her food on the booth and keep it warm. Finally she ran to the last direction she had seen him. "Christain?" she called out searching for her brother among the empty booths. Now she knew she saw him in this direction so where could- ah! Thankfully the state recognized her brothers voice and found him with Leilani under the booth. North Carolina blushed. Although it wasn't as if she hadn't seen it before, it was still a bit embarrassing to come across in public. But the Tarheel paused and listened to the Georgian's words for a moment. He really believed that he couldn't trust them? At least the picture was starting to become complete. So all this time... The Carolina slumped to her knees not far from them.

everyone is called 'darling',
"yall" is a proper noun,
sweet tea is the house wine,
and you never EVER disrespect your elders...

The State of Tennessee
☀Andrew S. Hickory☀ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Tennessee remained facing towards Alabama's booth when he heard Georgia run. He never once looked back to see what sort of face he made, but the boy could imagine and only tightened his grip around one of the whiskeys Johnny had given him. Of course Christian would run away. That was no big surprise to Andrew and he took an angry swig himself. Without pausing he downed half the bottle in one go before finally taking a small breather with a frustrated huff. The burn of alcohol down his throat was comforting, but the buzz couldn't come fast enough for Tennessee's taste. "Stupid b*****d... I'll betcha he didn't understand a thing I said to him, neither," he suddenly complained to Johnny after he finished railroading the rest of the bottle down his gullet. "He's always stupid an' never listens an' he's just so... so stupid! I ain't gonna 'pologize, you hear me?" He jabbed the butt of his bottle in Alabama's direction as if pointing at him to make sure he understood his point. Normally he took his time getting to the point of being tipsy by savoring his liquor, but the emotional state had just guzzled down an entire bottle of straight whiskey in less than two minutes. The sudden rush of alcohol into his system sped up the process a bit. ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

~The Yellow Hammer State~ "Johnny Kane" Johnny downed his first bottle a few seconds before Andrew did, and simply grabbed another from the shelf..Though, unlike Tennessee, he wasn't even tipsy."Yea yea...But he's smarter than a lot of the folks we know...He's smarter than Rutilio...And a LOT better than New York if ya ask me..." He stated.Johnny never really liked New York, but he still loved him, but that's another story."Besides...He's definitely a teeny, weeny, itty, bit of a smudged hair smarter 'an me...But only a little smudge." He said after downing his second bottle, finally getting tipsy.He stopped after that, knowing he still had to cook."...Want some soup an' biscuits brother?" He asked with a smirk.

You're tryin' to make me feel better by gettin' me to eat ain't ya?" he asked. "It ain't gonna work, ya hear? I'm onto you!" Andrew was silent for a moment as he opened his next whiskey and sipped on it a little slower than the first. "... I'd like some biscuits, though..." he finally admitted in a soft, embarrassed mumble. He couldn't help it if he liked to eat.

The Useless Junior "Ludwig! Maureen! Ciao!" The Italian waved. "Ve, how could I miss such an event as this." he said smiling and arms spread out in gesture to everyone around them. Feliciano quickly placed his things at this booth and decided to follow the two. "Hm that is true. Arthur is the type to be right on time unless something has happened. You know, I've been seeing states around but no America, do you think he could possible be with him?" he thought curiously. (Out of Pasta: )

"They do share a dorm."

"N-no, thank you Ludwig, It is sweet of you to offer but I got things from here."
Still blushing she pulled out her phone finaly locating it. She couldn't bring herself to look back up at him.
"I'm gona text him and North now to see what's going on."
She opened her phone.

【 Mahalo nui ia Ke Ali`i wahine 】
〖 `O Lili`ulani `O ka Wo hi ku 〗 Leilani Kamea Malu
Freshmen ﹙ There’s no place I’d rather be ﹚
x﹙ Then on my surfboard out at sea ﹚
xx﹙ Lingering in the ocean blue ﹚
xxx﹙And If I had one wish come true ﹚  When Christian neared her suddenly and buttoned his jacket around her shoulders, the Hawaiian blinked at him with a surprised expression but holding her ground nonetheless. As he retracted his hands, she let out a light snort through her nose. She couldn't pinpoint exactly why she snorted in this rebellious manner, but something about being covered by a jacket similar to this one reminded Leilani of some not-so-great days with the mainlanders. After tilting her head down at the garment she had been so blessed with, she then looked up to Christian, crystal iris' staring sternly. But as soon as her eyes made contact with his own, she felt her gaze was too harsh for his and softened, biting on the inside of her cheek as he continued to speak to her in a private confession.
"Rutilio? Ah, I know of him, he's the other tropical state other than me," Leilani thought out loud as she adjusted her position slightly on the grass, allowing her bottom to be on the ground but with her legs still bent and her feet behind her. After her adjustment, she then looked back to Christian, her mouth agape as he began to speak of her hating him and how he hated himself for loving Rutilio as he did. "Of course I don't hate you Christian, you're my 'ohana," She began as she got an idea. Taking a moment, she adjusted herself once more to get up onto her knees and stride over to the counter to retrieve the box she had placed there earlier. Once safely lowering it down to the grass, she rummaged around for a moment before pulling out a delicately crafted lei of Cherokee Roses that she had made for Christian sometime the previous night. Once in hand, Leilani strided over to her eastern sibling before plopping down right beside him with the lei carefully placed in her lap, her thumb gracing one petal with a tender stroke of affection as she breathed slowly.
"You're my 'ohana. You're my family. So no, I don't hate you. You have never given me a reason to hate you. Whenever I think back on the interactions we've had over the years, you're one of the only people that I can think of that have risen to the occassion more when it comes to strength, durability, and passion." She paused for a moment. "And when I think back to that time long ago when I was attacked. That day...I don't remember that day very well because I lost too much blood. But I remember there was this time while I was in the hospital. I don't think anyone knew I was even close to being conscious, but I was for a little bit. I remember there was someone sitting there beside me, he kept whispering something to himself. I couldn't really make it out, but he was grunting something fierce under his breath. But then I remember the voice of my boss, he came and spoke to the person who was with me but the other would stop hollering. My hearing started to fade at this point as did my consciousness, but one thing definitely cut through the haze. "She's my family now! And I protect my family! And I will seek out whoever hurts my family!" I am sure that it was you." She paused again, this time tilting her head upwards at the ceiling of the booth.
"And I don't mind that you and Rutilio are together. I don't think that anyone in the family who's against it...well their opinion shouldn't matter as much as the ones who are supportive and still love you the same. Right now, I believe that the people who are shocked or that are against it right now are only this way because it was a sudden change for them. Onipa'a, be steadfast and don't let these negative opinions affect this pure relationship you have with Florida. You've loved him since you were a new colony, and if he's felt the same all of thise time, you shouldn't let petty negativity ruin what could be such a beautiful connection between the two of you. I can just feel the way you love each other must be a lot since your passion shows not just from your joy, but from your sorrow as well," She paused again, this time picking up the lei carefully in her slender palms before extending her arms above his head and plopping the lei around his neck in a single motion. Once finished, she lowered her left hand to her lap and her right on top of Christian's. "They will come around eventually Christian. They're your 'ohana; your family. And well, 'family means no one gets left behind or forgotten', so don't think that they've abandoned you or that you've abandoned them. I've seen how tight-knit a lot of you are and it's pridictible that once whoever is against your love gets over their selfish problems you and Rutilio will be free to be happy as yourselves."
Leilani softly chuckled at her statement before she looked down and moved her hands to her leaf-fashioned skirt, adjusting some leaves to fit her thighs better so she wasn't revealing anything else to her older sibling. "I hope I was able to help you somewhat. Although you other states consider me the 'baby' of the United States, I have been around a lot longer than you think," She told him as she turned her head to face him at an angle as she winked at him, "I remember there was a time, many many centuries ago, when my people would be able to have multiple partners living within the same community. Many mainlanders believed that it was 'barbaric' but honestly, you can't control who you fall in love with right? Sometimes it came be more than one person, or someone of the same gender, or even many people of the same gender; if it felt the most natural to you then well that's how you live your life. But now that's not allowed anymore 'cause it's 'looked down upon'," She said with an annoying mocking voice that somehow her voice still made sound endearing. "But whatever, times have changed. People have changed. Things will always continue to change. But the one thing that will always be consistent during that...is family."
The Hawaiian smiled to Georgia for a moment before she adjusted herself once more and stood, taking a few brisk steps to the box she had on the ground once more, she rummaged around for a moment before pulling out a beautifully crafted lei made entirely of Dogwood blossoms. Padding around the back counter of the booth, Leilani then stumbled upon Charlotte who had found herself on her knees in a rather unreadable expression. With an endearing smile, she then placed the lei around her sister's head and lowered it to her shoulders, even going so far as to moving her hair so that it was more comfortable with the large blossoms. "'Ike aku, 'ike mai, kokua aku kokua mai; pela iho la ka nohana 'ohana." She told the Carolina before she helped the eastern state to her feet, looking up to her proudly. "What I said was" Recognize others, be recognized," She looked from Charlotte and back to Christian, continuing to smile gently the entire time. "Help others, be helped," She looked back to Charlote before taking both her hands into her own and giving them a reassuring squeeze, an almost motherly aura emitting from the petite state as she stared with her crystal-blue iris'. "Such is the family relationship."
After a moment, she released Charlotte's hands and then placed her hand on the small of her back before nudging her forward. "Well I have to go finish prepping," She stated suddenly as she walked forward and unbuttoned the buttons on Christian's jacket before folding it in half and then handing it to him. "Since today is to celebrate our cultures, I would appreciate it if you let me wear my traditional garb, nudity and all," She told him before she moved forward and picked up her box of leis into her arms and positioned it so that it would cover anything that needed to for the moment. "Now if you excuse me, I hope to see the two of you, especially you," She shot a quick glance to Christian as she passed him and turned to face them both. "Later today smiling and having a great time and truly enjoying the festivities. Aloha~" And with that, Leilani turned on her heel and headed back towards the direction of her booth and began to set everything up. （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

~Slovakia~Zlata Augustine Lietchinsk 11th Grade The slovak blinked when someone greeted her. Smiling she looked up reluctantly and response to his question shook her head fiercely. Zlata had actually rushed to get here, and not realised that she may have been earlier than she thought she was. The poor slovak had been so determined on finding her traditional clothing, she was sure she would be late! Zlata thanked the other cheerfully.

  ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀Rutilio was in a good mood as he obliviously reported to his booth. His shrimp and grits came out nicely and he was actually feeling pretty good about this. Lots of people didn't even know about his North Florida culture so maybe it would turn out surprisingly well to embrace his Southern heritage. Maybe he should even let his Florida Cracker accent slip out? ...N-No, that was a bit much. Sure he had gone roughly a century talking like that after he'd been taken from Spain the final time, but most other states hadn't paid enough attention to him back then to even remember it now. In some odd ways being so backwater and overlooked for so long turned out to be a bit of a blessing when even your own neighbors forgot you had more than one accent. Rutilio was pretty sure he could have spent that entire century dressed in drag and no one would have noticed. Except for maybe Georgia who had always been hyper sensitive to every move the Floridian made. And now they knew why~! Florida grinned to himself as he recalled the fact that Georgia actually had confessed his secret love that he'd teased the younger boy about for the longest time. It was in many ways an odd sort of victory as much as it was an exciting new chapter in his life to have Christian confess. While he set up his things he heard some students shrieking in fear not far away. Some were even fleeing in his direction as something headed his way. It probably meant his guest had arrived. Soon he saw the sleek, mysterious and intense figure of the Puma concolor also known, to him, as the Florida panther. In all honesty it was only a medium sized beast as far as the Puma species went and wasn't nearly as large as some of the mountain lions in the more northern regions, but it certainly had a presence about it. For years Rutilio himself had been convinced his panthers were spiritual guides or something to that effect. "Hola, amigo~!" he chirped happily as the panther came up to him. "You are looking well today. I am glad you could make it, Asén!" The beast snorted softly and Florida chuckled awkwardly as he remembered Asén could only understand the Seminole language. The panther always had been stubborn about sticking to his true roots, but it was kind of a pain to need to translate everything for him. When Florida and his friend finally finished setting up he finally noticed Cuba and Canada not too far off and grinned. He hadn't talked to his hermano in what felt like ages! The Floridian grinned before running over and pouncing the Cuban from behind in a cheerful hug. "Juan, I have missed you~!" he said dramatically as if it really had been ages. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀<>

All of a sudden, he felt someone hug him "Ah! maldito!" he then saw it was just Rutilio "Oh, it's you. Missed me? It's only been a few hours, you're acting we haven't seen each other in years. Also, I thought you'd be with Alfred."{Translations:}(Out of Havana: )Cuban Republic

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀Rutilio grinned happily at Cuba's outburst and was glad that Juan recognized him before trying to take a swing at the playful state. He chuckled when his brother figure pointed out they had only seen each other a few hours ago. "One hour is one too many," he explained as he finally let go of the nation to respect his personal space. "Is America here?" he asked as his eyes widened slightly in surprise. He hadn't heard any obnoxious laughs or seen any Nantucket's bobbing around so the Floridian assumed he wasn't even at the school or maybe he had left for the semester to take care of business elsewhere. "Huh... I did not see his booth anywhere. He is slow, si?" The Floridian glanced back at where the other states were setting up and noticed there was no Georgia among them. He must still be off somewhere doing his newspaper reporting. It never once occurred to him to look towards any European booths. Or, to be more accurate, under any of them. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀<>

Juan MachadoThe Headstrong JuniorThe Cuban rolled his eyes, again with the exagerations. "Well, I hope he won't move his booth next to mine, or I'll seriously lose it." he thought he'd be hanging out with that guy from last night, looks like he isn't today. he smelled the air and caught a familiar scent "Mmmm, Mexican tacos. Looks like hermana is making her signature dish." he sure loved her food. However, he can't handle spice too well, like her.{Translations:}(Out of Havana: )Cuban Republic
