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.

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

[meteorical]

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

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[And he can kind of tell. Fff.]

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

[meteorical]

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

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

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

[meteorical]

You'd be surprised.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, try me.

[Have a little sigh, Kairi.] But whatever. You're welcome to drop by my house after school or something. For the assignment or just for fun. [Because we know how to have fun! We promise!]

[meteorical]

Maybe later.

I'll keep that in mind. Which house though? [You're going to have to prove it, Genis!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

House 42. It's on the eastern side of town, right on the edge of the forest. Bit of a walk, if you're up for it.

[We're going to be the funnest dad ever, you'll see. B|]

[meteorical]

I don't mind walking. I walked everywhere back home. I'll let you know before I come over though.

[Prove it~]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

All right, that works. See, that wasn't so hard now, was it?

[He uses a children's toy as a weapon D: See that ingenious fusion of work and play? He's fun, gdit!]

[meteorical]

Guess it wasn't. [Well thanks for proving her point. Kairi wins. But she's decided Genis is a pretty okay guy, so really everybody wins.]
