Now, I'd like to announce our new school project. You will be graded for this, of course, but most of all it is a learning experience. All the practical knowledge you gain may very well be put to use in the future. You see...

[She reaches down to pick up a small basket, placing it on the desk before her. What's inside the basket, you wonder? It's eggs. A lot of them. They aren't boiled or anything of the sort.]

For an entire week, you all will be proud parents. These [she indicates the eggs again.] will be your frail, loved children. You may name them, dress them or even try to feed them. As long as your child is still in one piece next Thursday, you pass the project. Of course, one can never become a parent on their own, which is why I've taken the liberty of assigning you all a partner. Both of you will have to cooperate and take it in turns to care for your baby. That is the trick behind parenting, after all. Stella, already being a proud mother herself, is exempt from the project and will be giving a guest lecture early next week.

When I call your names, you will come forth and take one 'child' out of the basket. Once you've all had your turn, I'd like you to take a while to get to know your partner better and make some agreements on the ways you feel this project should be handled.

Any questions? If not, feel free to start planning child care with your partner. You have fifteen minutes.

[[OOC: The pairings were randomly selected by me, mostly according to age. Whenever there was a third person left in one of the categories, they'd be placed with one of the younger couples in that same category. If I forgot your character, or you see any mistakes, let me know!]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Why's that? There can't possibly be anyone stupid enough to mistake it for breakfast.

Things get a little...rough sometimes. [Mostly the pillow fights with Riku and the wrestling the boys still do, but uh.] Our apartment's sort of small anyway.

Rough, huh? Well, there are only three of us at our house, so it should be okay there. Anyway, it's only for a week.

It shouldn't be bad. It's just an egg, right? It'll be okay.

[He nods.] Just an egg, and just for a week. We'll ace this assignment, no problem.

Definitely. So, how do you want to do this? Keep it at your house and I can just come over after school to "bond" with it?

Yeah, sounds simple enough. I wonder how we're going to be graded on this, though.

Probably just making sure the egg's in tact and then writing on the experience. This is a guaranteed A, I'm thinking.

It's probably to help pull up some of the other students' grades, is what I'm thinking. Ahh, Raine and Miss Gelda are too nice.

I like them though. They both seem really nice. Even if this is kind of a charity project, it's something fun at least.

Fun, huh? I guess so, if you like playing house... I mean, it is a strange project, but you can probably learn a lot from it.

You're a really serious person, aren't you?

I like to think that I'm more practical, than serious.

-- Besides, you say that like it's a bad thing-!

Practical's still another synonym for serious. And I didn't say it was a bad thing, did I?

The way you said it made it sound like I was boring or something.

No, you're just really serious for somebody your age.

I'm fifteen. I think I should be acting serious, if only a little.

My best friends are both fifteen too and sometimes they still have five-year-old tendencies.

Yeah, well, some people can't help but act like kids.

[Geez, Genis. You're a kid, too.]

And when was the last time you acted like a kid?

What kind of question is that? I can act my age, you know. And fifteen's hardly a kid's age. so...

[She's just going to give him a look. Sorry, Genis, you've convinced Kairi you don't really know how to have fun.]

[And he can kind of tell. Fff.]

... I so know how to have fun! Geez, what do you take me for?

A stick-in-the-mud kind of guy. [She knows how to tease people enough to be a little snarky.]

Oh, and I'm sure you're the life of the party. [Snark? Hey, we know snark!]
