Kalon Name: Emin
Story about their favourite dessert:
Emin let out a sigh as he stumbled into the first
store he could find throughout the foreign streets. He had been so busy
admiring the urban architect, that eating had completely slipped his mind. Emin loves travelling, theres nothing be loves more, but his attention span is his greatest enemy, he gets so infactuated by his surroundings that he completely loses track of his own well-being. After he regained his composure he examined each isle with care looking for something that he could afford. He had used majority of his funds on seemingly useless trinkets he had discovered in the local businesses that were planted throughout the city. Emin is guilty of having a huge sweet tooth, anything sweet immediately catches his attention, but for some reason today nothing specifically caught his attention, nothing he could afford at least. Nothing until he saw a cheap pack of Cake Pops. He wasn't sure why they stood out, but he went with his gut feeling. He took it to the checkout and took a Cake Pop out of the box. He wasn't expecting much, He had never had a Cake Pop before, the way it was presented seemed very cheap, and it definetly didn't seem like a fair first try. But he tried it anyway. He took a bite, and it felt like heaven, after 6 hours of not eating this was exactly what he needed, he wasn't sure what it was but he adored the taste of it, it wasn't like any cake pops he had tasted before. When he returned to his hotel room he looked up a recipe and noted it in his journal, that trip became one of his best memories, the trip where he discovered his favourite treat.

Kalon Name:
Archilochus "Archie" Colubris
Story about their favourite dessert:
"Come on, Archie, we have a long ways to go still" the Kal poked up from his hibiscus tea he was sipping and the newspaper he was browsing to see his father disappearing around the hotel doorway.
"Sure thing, Pop" he chugged the last of his drink and chucked the newspaper.
Archie and his family were travelers, everyone had a job that required a lot of moving around. His specifically was wildlife and scenery photography for public use.
It was a warm September in Florida and soon they'd be making their way to Mexico for the winter, until Spring when they'd finally move back up towards Canada. Every year they made this trek, and they flew constantly so by now Archie was used to the routine.
The shine throated Kal wasn't paying attention when he started to follow where his father had gone, bag in tow, when he bowled over a Kal carrying a bulging burlap sack.
"Hey man, watch where you're going!" the kalon snarled as her bag opened and spilled out a ton of stolen hotel goods.
Archie apologized profusely and started helping to pick everything up.
"Thanks, man. Hey... Wanna like, hang out?" she brushed her hair from her eyes.
"Sure, I'm Archie" he scratched the back of his head shyly.
"Chalice. Hey, I'll take you to the bakery where I bring my sis, since I owe you for helping me pick up my uh... Loot" she chuckled.
Archie thought it was odd to go to a bakery but agreed and off they went.
"One island cake, please" Chalice took Archie's camera off his arm as they brought out a premade cake with lovely gelatin waves on top. She took a picture.
"Something to remember me by"
Archie smiled. A memory of his first and only friend.

Kalon Name: Beija
Story about their favourite dessert:
For as long as he could remember Beija had been anxious.

His teachers had described him in his report cards as restless, nervous, disruptive. His parents had never said such but privately complained of the same. He tired his friends out and even strangers at the park.

Beija knew people didn't like him but he couldn't stop himself - he needed to be moving and doing and thinking because if he stopped for even a second his brain got too loud to stand.

A babysitter had given him his first sugar cube just to shut him up for a second so she could call her boyfriend. She'd sat him in the grass outside and told him to eat the whole thing and not to chew because it would ruin his teeth. He needed to let it melt; firmly she said this was not something he could rush.

Beija had found a kind of peace that had startled him in the backyard that day. The sugar cube was painfully slow to melt but his thoughts were quiet; he could sit with his hands in his lap and just breathe, a feat that had been impossible moments before.

As he grew up, Beija kept the habit. He carried sugar cubes everywhere, tucked into pockets and bags and jackets and scarves and anytime his brain became too much he sat down in the sun and grass somewhere and jammed one in his mouth. The treat grounded him when nothing else could manage, even on his worst days.

He heard plenty of jokes over it ("Aren't those for horses?") but he always had one on hand, no matter what. Time went on and Beija got older but sugar cubes remained the single food that could both soothe his sweet tooth and his anxious mind.

Kalon Name: Rowan
Story about their favourite dessert: 296/300.
Credit to ₊˚ʚ꒷ ₊˚Mallow₊˚ ‧₊ for letting me use Mochi!

Rowan was once dared by his friend, Mochi, to do the impossible: make a dessert that was both hot and cold simultaneously. "Desserts aren't supposed to be both, they're either cold or they're hot" Rowan replied defensively. He had a strong opinion on this, as a self-proclaimed dessert connoisseur. Why in the world would you want both sensations? It's like a mind-exploding, flavour-confusing party gone wrong. "Fine, if you're not up to the challenge I'll find someone else..." Mochi said with a dismissive tone, hoping some reserve psychology would spark something within the stubborn red-throated Kalon. Mochi flicked her hair over her shoulder and went to turn away dramatically, exaggerating the disappointment she had for Rowan backing away from the challenge. However, Rowan was blind to this obvious act because he was so caught up in an internal battle. Would he go against even his own morals just to fulfil his own self esteem?

Mochi knew that Rowan was not one to turn down a challenge- his independent and head-strong traits just wouldn't allow him. She could see the struggle that Rowan was going through simply by the small bead of nervous sweat that formed on the corner of his forehead. She sighed, picking herself up and theatrically getting ready to find a new challenger. Rowan, against all his self-belief, dramatically stopped Mochi in her tracks. "I will do it, but just this once, and then never again" he said as if it were a big effort. Mochi cheered with joy, quickly shuffling her friend into the kitchen. "Now work your magic Rowan!"

And this is the beginning of the banana split origin story. Cold Neapolitan ice cream, chilled banana, covered with warm chocolate sauce. A dessert formulated, perfected and adored by the once sceptical Rowan.

Kalon Name: Juniper
Story about their favourite dessert (297/300)

Sitting on an old wooden fence, looking out across a grassy spring meadow with a tiny sweet flower between your lips.
That was Juniper's childhood.

Every summer since Juniper was a little girl, her and her father would go up to visit her Grandmother who lived on the country side.
It was always something that Juniper treasured as it was the only time she got to see her Grandmother,
As well as it was the only time she got to have her one and only favorite dessert, honeysuckle ice-cream!

Ever since she was a child her and her father would always sit on an old wooden fence with a pile of honeysuckle to snack upon well her Grandmother made dinner it was a special thing the two shared.
Juniper just couldn't resist the sweetness of these flowers, they were so much for! The way you could just pick a flower and suck on its stem to get its yummy nectar.

That's why it was so special to Juniper when her Grandmother found a way to make an ice-cream that tasted like her very favorite thing!!

It was a warm summer day and Juniper had just come inside from a full day's worth of play, so to cool her down Juniper's Grandmother wanted to make her something sweet, and knowing fully well how much Juniper loved Honeysuckle did she decide to try something risky, but fun to try, and those Honeysuckle ice-cream was made.
It wasn't the easiest thing to milk the nectar from the flowers, but ho was it worth it!!

And now honeysuckle ice-cream has become their own family tradition, one in which Juniper and her dad collect honeysuckle and with the help of Grandma, ice-cream can be made with love.

Kalon Name: Ruby
Story about their favourite dessert (300 word limit):

“Hey, Kool-Aid Kal!”

Ruby has always been a Kool-Aid addict. That sweet, red drink is just one of the best things on a hot summer day. In the tropics of Hawaii where she lives, Kool-Aid is the ultimate year-round treat and her go-to drink! Sodas are too fizzy for her and juices just won’t do, but Kool-Aid is just perfect!

There’s just SO many things that you can do with Kool-Aid too! Mix it in with the local favorite, P.O.G (Passion, Orange, Guava) juice, freeze it into popsicles, put it over shaved ice and serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Hawaiian style! The only limit’s her stomach!

She grew up in a little shanty where they couldn’t afford much, but her mother’s generosity with what little they did have was famous. They became known as the neighborhood Kool-Aid house, the hostesses of the neighborhood. The kids from all around the block came to hang out and play in their huge yard and treehouse. Her mother always tried her best to scrape up a little extra change to buy something special for them. She never had the money for any other sorts of sweets other than Kool-Aid mix. Saturdays became synonymous with her mother measuring out bulk Kool-Aid powder and mixing it with water until it was as red as the shine on Ruby’s neck. Her friends always said that their family made the best Kool-Aid the islands have ever seen.

To this day, Kool-Aid makes her smile as she remembers the long hours of playing in her treehouse and all her kithood memories made. It serves as a bit of a reminder to stay childlike and playful. And always, always, generous.

Kalon Name: Clementine (aka Clem)
Story about their favourite dessert:

A sudden clatter of the garden gate and burst of pink energy was all it took to shake Clementine out of her daydreams. She was enjoying the summer heat in her garden, lounging in the soft wildflowers sprouting up against all odds. What she saw as a pink blur was her step-nephew, Simon, yelling and bounding up to her excitedly, "Auntie Clem! Auntie Clem!"

"Simon, what a surprise," Clementine exclaimed nervously, "What is it little one? Will you be taking me on another adventure?"

"No, not this time, but I did come with Auntie Danu! Happy birthday Auntie Clem! Auntie Danu even remembered how much you disliked cakes, so she baked something special for you this year!" Simon chipped in, "It came from the peach trees on her farm!"

"Oh really? Well, don't tell me anymore now or you'll ruin the surprise!" Clementine responded with a laugh, not even trying to slow down the easily excited boy. Before Simon could respond, said marbled Kalon entered through the wide-open gate carrying a large picnic basket decorated in balloons and streamers.

Danu, ethereal as ever, strolled up to the two, "Happy birthday my dear, I hope you enjoy these peach nectar custard tarts I've made, with Simon's help of course!" As she set the basket down, Simon began to help set up a small picnic area just for the three.

As the area was prepped Clementine was gently handed one of the mentioned sweets, hesitantly biting into the treat. What she didn't expect was the delightfully delicious flavor, soft and sweet just like their baker. Clementine never thought she'd be such a fan of custard, and voiced this to her two visitors exclaiming, "Goodness! This is the most savory treat in existence! I don't know if I'll be willing to share them!"
