An image that features two adolescent boys running. The boy on the left (Dion) has his blonde hair tied in a ponytail with a braid along the side of his head. He wears a dark teal tunic top with puffed short sleeves, white flowy long sleeves, and a white ruffled neck accent. A ruffled cravat is pinned by a turquoise and silver brooch. The pants are a simple light teal with knee high dark teal boots.
The boy on the right (Joshua) has wavy strawberry blonde hair. He wears a red and white church choir-esque dress with a white tar flap and red puffed short sleeves and white long sleeves that cinches at the wrists. The red dress is pleated with ruffles ending at the shins with dark brown boots underneath.
Both boys are seen running, with Dion's left arm stretching outwards towards Joshua's right. The words "Mod apps & Interest Check Open July 17th to August 1st" separates the two characters. The same previous purple background with the moon phases and vines appears behind the two.
