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!]]

[That sounds good!]

Should we meet every other day, then?

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[Okay!]

Yeah, I'm cool with that! I think that'll work out great. Hey, can I ask where you live in case I need to meet you there?

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

I live in Room 24 of Building 2. And you?

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

I'm in Room 1 of Building 3! Thanks!

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

We can also meet after school, if you want.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, good idea! Since we'll be seein' each other in class too. Yeah, that works!

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

[Your enthusiasm is infectious, Sonic.]

I predict that this will be a good partnership.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[He appreciates that she's serious about the project too.]

Me too! We're gonna rock this project, I know it!

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

[Do you want to play out some of their interactions or have them all occur behind the scenes?:)]

Definitely.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[I wouldn't mind some interaction, if you'd like. ^^ I also don't mind backthreading if you find your semi-hiatus has to include Mitsuru too. Up to you! ^^]

Awesome. So if we're meetin' every other day, I'll be takin' it home on Saturday then, right?

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

[Pfft. I can't stay away from this place entirely, anyway.xD Do you want to plot stuff on AIM?]

That is correct.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[Let's plot stuff! XD When will you be on? My timezone's in the US, and I'll have to be on in the evening. ^^]

Cool, thanks!

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

[My timezone is PST, which is three hours earlier than EST, I think. Hit me up on oct0puss when you have the time!]

You're welcome.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[Sure, I'll keep an eye out for you then! ^-^ I should be on now.]

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

[I'm online right now, just invi.:P I was gonna poke you, but your AIM isn't listed in the Taken Characters list.]
