[sounds of tea being poured] Oh, yes, Romana dear? Did you happen to check the journals before you came by?

[paper crinkling after a tin is popped open] You mean about the sudden arrival of those tots in the castle?

[clicking sound as tea cups are being set down] Mhm, those exactly. ...Oh those scones look delectable [in an obviously amused tone] But yes, those tots. I believe a future companion of mine has found one, along with one of my regenerations.

I think you might enjoy them - I tried something a bit new. [china clinking, the cup being taken up from it's saucer] You don't say? Well now that is certainly interesting. [chuckling lightly before sipping] This place does have quite the odd sense of humor. Not to mention it's rather difficult to imagine you, any of you, settling down with a child.

[sound of rummaging for a scone, then a moment later] ...Is that...jelly babies? Truly, you are a credit to bakers everywhere! [then chuckles] I'm only thankful I have avoided this mess somehow. Perhaps the castle likes us as much as I love your scones.

[a light 'tsk, tsk' is heard] Remember, you do have a habit of jinxing yourself when you say such things. Whenever you've said 'what could go wrong' something would take a turn for the worse. [siiiiip] I thought that jelly babies would be a nice surprise. I certainly have not seen anyone do such a thing.

[a slight huff] All things considered, I am quite sure that I will be involved in some sort of chaos in this place soon, so I am merely noting my good fortune for this round. [happily munching scones] And if I am able to enjoy such scones in your company, it is very good fortune. We have had a lot to catch up on.

[sipping lightly] I can only wonder how long my own good luck will last. But, never the less, at least there aren't any little time tots running about either one of our rooms. [lady-like munching slash nibbling] hough I have always wondered if you appreciated my tea and scone making skills over my intellect and quick thinking.

[sighs] I hope we don't get stuck with any babysitting duties. [and then he laughs] It only adds to your charm. Though I happen to think my tea making is quite superb [sips tea]

I'll have to pass on that. Besides, it only proves to teach responsibility to the parents. [munching] I'm sure they'll do well enough. [pause] ... ah, Doctor, did you leave your journal open?

[pauses as well and sets his tea cup down] It appears I have. I always forget about that thing. [closes journal]

[for a while, there is silence, and only the sniffling sounds of an infant can be heard. They get increasingly louder until they turn into an ear-piercing cry which accompanies the sound of various items being thrown at the wall and even louder yelling.]

All of these children, and none of the fun part. Unless there was a mass orgy nine months ago that someone failed to mention.

I suppose it's nice to imagine a world without the pains of labor, though~

[Kousuke stumbles after Chris orbs him to the construction site. Yeah, um, that'll take a while to get used to.]

Wow... everything is coming along really nicely...

[Anyone working on the stage will see a 15 year-old Japanese boy with a big hoodie following Chris. Without all the makeup and the stagecraft, it's nigh impossible to pin Kousuke and Romeo as the same person, unless your character knows Romeo by scent.]

[OOC: I apologize for the spam. Anyone who's working on the stage project with Romeo can interact on this thread. For the last couple of days, Chris has been heading the project, but yeah.~]

My baby is so cute! I wonder who the father is? Oh well. It's like playing house... but a lot more realistic!

But I wonder... are they going to stick around like the puppies, or is this REALLY going to go away in a week? This might be fun for a week, but I'm too young to have a kid!! [illegible]

[sniffling]  This is like that time in the Digital World when Takato and I got separared, except this is worse cause I don't think this is the Digital World!

Awwww.

Nursery

[witchesper.livejournal.com]

There are so many young ones here now. It's amazing!

Although... I worry about their welfare. Some of what I've read in the journals is very distressing. I was thinking that perhaps I could ask the castle to let me start a nursery of sorts for these children.

It would be horrible if these children weren't loved and cared for in the way they deserve.

Ok. This isn't the Digitial World. Too many humans. But I don't know which part....

So if you all could just kindly point me in the right direction out of here, that'd be GREAT.

[cruxthesis.livejournal.com]

An increase in the population of newborns? I hardly ever experienced a surge of baby boomers in my lifetime, so this felt strange.

I'm not surprised that I don't have an offspring of my own. Some things are not meant to be. I think I won't be able to tolerate those noisy things.

Y-you know, at first I... I thought it was, um, an alien or something. Because of the... the... container. But, uh... it... looks scarily like...

[A muffled response in the background, intermixed is an amused cackle and an angry huff, sharply interrupted by a very strange baby's cry]

...And someone left their kid in here, too. I can deal with kids, but now is not the time for something like...

...Hey. Get up. You gotta see this--

Do these...things "kids" look familiar to you, or is it just me? [And one of the babies can be heard mimicking a very familiar cackle.]

Whew! Finally got this kid under control. He's strong as hell! How do you humans deal with these things, anyway? I liked him better when he ate, shat, and cried while STATIONARY!

[a happy sigh at how &hearts cute &hearts the baby is]

Ha ha... I guess I'm really like Mom right now...

Excuse me... does anyone belong to the Sohma, Hanajima or Uotani families by chance?

Please tell me the rules and customs of the Paradisa castle. I don't want to cause any trouble.

Children are adorable, and I know they're a big responsibility. But... If this is what it's going to be like when I'm older, I don't really want any. [Another pause as the baby starts fussing again, and it starts to wail] Shh, shh... it's okay...!

Hide. Um, do you think you can take care of our child while I go get some fresh air?

I think I'm going to faint.

So-- so first, could somebody help me out? I need some clothes, but I don't know where I should go... if somebody could let me borrow something, I'll get it back to you as soon as I can buy some of my own. [muttered "this is really embarrassing..."]

I'd really appreciate it if anybody could tell me anything important about this place, too.

...I didn't expect that anyone would be naive enough to leave a child wandering on this floor nor that the child was intelligent enough to get in my room...at least I'm not the only one stuck with the babbling, drooling burden. How irritating a woman isn't present to perform her duties.

I don't see how difficult watching one female child can be, though. Keep it clean, feed it...really, more men should rise up to meet the challenge. She likes to climb and entertain herself- that I am grateful for. I doubt they will be here for long, but a son would have been ideal-

[ the sound of a baby spitting up and then giggling ]

...That stain better come out...

[ crashing, followed by a long wail ]

I changed my mind. Someone rid me of this THING. [ tone grows terse and voice louder, obviously leaning away from the recorder ] LEAVE THAT ALONE.

Woah, it looks like a lot of people have written in this thing! And they used... sparkles?

Why would you use sparkles on a diary? Heh... That sounds like something Anise would do.

Speaking of Anise...

Where is everyone? They wouldn't leave me behind, right? And I bet Guy or Jade would know more about this place than me...

L-Lui...! What are you doing in a maiden's bed chambers, uninvited! [Dulled 'poomf' sound of a pillow coming down, spelling impending suffocation for Lui. At least before Idike herself dies first of embarrassment.]
