Sex Ed, Wednesday, Period 2, Class #8
At the front of the classroom, a table was set up with an assortment of baby accessories; clothes, bottles, diapers and carriers.
Edward stood at the front of the classroom holding a baby doll. "I hope you enjoyed your family visits. After this week's project, you may appreciate your parents a little more. For the next seven days, you are all parents to your own babies." He held up the infant simulator and demonstrated how to "take care" of the baby, using the diapers and bottle made for the doll. The baby began to cry and Edward rocked it gently until it quieted.
"The bottle and diapers have sensors that register when the baby is being fed or changed," he said. "You will each have a wristband," he held up his arm to show the one he was wearing, "that will let the baby sense when you are near. All you have to do is keep the baby healthy and happy for one week and you'll get an A on this project. Which, by the way, is forty percent of your grade. These dolls are programmed to act just like a real child, so expect to be feeding and changing your little one at all hours. And don't try to mess around with the programming. If the doll is opened up, it will register as 'abused' and you will get an 'F' on the project."
"I've paired you off into couples for this. As 'husband' and 'wife' you will be equally responsible for the child's wellbeing." He paused. "Actually, we have a greater number of girls than boys in this class, so some of you girls will have to work together. Just assume you're sisters helping each other out while your husbands are off in the Army."
Once all the students had their babies, Edward said, "The rest of the period is free time for you to practice your parenting skills. I have baby carriers and other useful items here to help you with caring for your young one. If you need anything else during the week, you can stop by my office."
[It's the inevitable baby project! The dolls have programs that require them to be fed and changed at least every four hours. For more info on how these work, check out the YouTube links below.
OOC, it's up to you how much you want to play out. I'm not going to check on you. I encourage you to play with it and find an IC babysitter if possible, but handwavily saying "someone watched the kid all week" is fine.
Also, the "parents" to each child will get graded on that child's "health", but Edward can't keep track of who takes care of the doll. Forming non-traditional family units is fine as long as the child is taken care of.
Feeding.
Comforting the baby.
How the doll works.
Wait for OCD up!]

Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
Jenny glanced up at their teacher, then reached out and gingerly touched the 'baby' with one index finger. Sparks flew.
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
Okay. Sparks were kind of awesome. Almost as awesome as fire.
Warren, therefore, was going to contribute by oh so carefully making as though to coddle the child.
... Oh, dear. There must have been a short in the weird baby's circuits. Because now it was sparking and sort of on fire.
"This is why we should never raise children together," Warren intoned.

Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
[*dies* Detention okay?]
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
((...afraid not. I have plans Saturday. 'My school is in contention for the national championship and it's Homecoming' type plans. So, very drunk plans. :D ))
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
Warren managed to say all that entirely blandly. It wasn't like a little fire bothered him.
Naturally.
[And I work. I'll happily take some form of alternative punishment, but Saturdays kind of suck for me.]
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
[Talked to Zoe and Edward's handing you off to her. Up for an office visit with the principal tomorrow?]
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
"Well, I hope you do speak to the principal about this malfunctioning equipment," Jenny said, grabbing her jacket. "Good day."
((Works for me!))
Re: Jenny Sparks/Warren Peace
"Weird things are fire hazards," he said over his shoulder as he headed for the door. "I can't believe you're sending them home with students."
And out he went.
[Just so long as Zoe is fine with late-night roleplay or slowplay supreme, that's fine with me. I work tomorrow, too, but a one-on-one seems far more forgiving on my avilability than detention.]
