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.

Ages 6-12:
Kotaro, Chibi-Usa, Nanako
Klonoa, Hanyuu
WW Link, Kyrie
(Saku)Bo, Hikari "Kari"
Yamato "Matt", Rika
Taichi "Tai", Lymle

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!]]

Same here man, this guy's CR is ridic. Sorry for the slow, by the by

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[This is her getting a look right back]

There's plenty of people here could could probably magic up a temperature-regulated blanket or something.

the smart ones tend to do that, don't they? And don't worry about it. Slow is good for me |D;b

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Well, fine, if you want to cheat.]

I'll conjure one, then, and we won't even have to worry about me coming over to your house unless it's to pass off control of the egg.

[That way they don't have to see each other more than a few seconds a day. Not that she's particularly happy with the idea of leaving the egg alone with him but hey if she's going to get THAT obsessive over it, she may as well take both shifts...]

Clearly, this two need a new post for them to hit up each other in after this

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[WAIT- Wait.../INSTANT INTEREST]

You can do that?

[Somehow, he was not aware of her being a witch. The thought had not crossed in mind, in all due honesty. If she outright said it in the thread they may or may not have had before pretend I suck. :C]

They so do XD to bicker about how the egg was treated obvs

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Have a slight eyeroll.]

Yes, I can. Since magical abilities in general are dampened here, I may or may not be able to do it easily, but I have the ability. [She's not going to give you the satisfaction of seeing it til you ask C: She's so nice.]


[I don't think they got to that topic if they did talk so let's just say no for now xD]

Quite. I shall put this up in due time. Or you. Either way.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[He grunts there and then=] Yeah, then you might as well do it. I mean if we're gunna be parents you might as well give the kid the best fighting chance.

Whichever XD Hermione just did one but she's got another coming up next week so

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[So she pulls out her wand and after a minute's muttering and waving, manages to conjure up a nice thermal blanket, which she proceeds to wrap around the egg. It makes it look a bit like a tiny kitten or something, but it's kinda cute that way.]

There. That ought to help it. I don't think there's anything else to worry with, do you?

/makes the post

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Done (http://god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com/19934.html). Also that is cute, but more important it's practical. Haruki looks at it carefully, feels it, and...]

Guess not.

win :3

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Oh... what are we going to name it?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Flatly, the first thing that comes to mind:] Sekai.

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Stare.] Why?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Because that's an awesome name, obviously.

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Have another stare.] Not really. Does it even have a meaning?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

'Course it does! And that's why it's the name of our baby!

[And he's not taking no for an answer! ...And he's not going to mention just yet it refers to "the world" in the cosmic sense of things]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Then what does it mean.

[She's not giving in that easily... not yet.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

That it's the name of the kid and that's that. Glad we're agreed!

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

What? It is not! I only asked what it meant! I wasn't agreeing!

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

You just agreed! And that's final.

[SAGE NOD]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

I wasn't agreeing then! [But she can't see how this is going to end well anyway. She'll concede defeat for now.] But fine, seeing as you don't have any other ideas. [And she'll angrily write the name on her schedule.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Excellent! [...Because he's proud he got that much in.]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Anything else? [Have another glare.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Well, the plan's me in the evening and you in the day, right?

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Yes, so I should take it home after class today.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Guess so-

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[She just gives him a look daring him to disagree before moving the egg closer to her and looking down at it.] At least it shouldn't be difficult to take care of.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Now he vaguely wants to disagree just for the hell of it because arguing turns him on- I MEAN WHAT-] Seo long as you remember it's a baby.
