Teamwork 101 -- Period 1 [Monday]
The small children were still about today and while Genesis had not be so blessed as to get any children of his own (oh thank Ifrit), he’d approached the idea of class with dread. No doubt there would be at least some children in class, no matter how dreadful he thought it would be, which meant--
Either ignore them and deal with their irritating presence when ignoring them didn’t work... or provide distraction.
The Danger Shop was proving useful for that today.
“Yo! Rookies and Rookie Rookies!” There was a term for junior Rookies, yes. This was Reno. He was prepared for any eventuality that Rookiedom might toss his way. “I couldn’t help but notice that there are a few more kids on the island lately than we’re used to, and that brought up an important topic that fits in with that ‘Teamwork’ thing we got goin’ here: Parenting.”
Which Reno knew about because of quite similar weekends in years past. Thank you Fandom.
“Presumably you’ve all figured out by now that children need to be fed and watered and cleaned regularly,” Genesis announced, a hint of a drawl in his voice. “If not, you’re a worse parent than I would be. My condolences, if that is the case.”
Genesis had no illusions about what sort of a parent he’d be. He’d drop the kid on Angeal and never look back.
“Rather than subjecting you all to a lecture,” Genesis continued, “which a number of you likely wouldn’t have the attention span to listen to anyway, we’ve prepared something else for you today.” Well, flicked a few buttons. Toyed with a program. It counted as preparing.
Making a sandwich took more effort.
“Games,” Reno piped in, grinning. Maybe looking a little wistfully around the room. “Whether you got kids or not this weekend, keepin’ ‘em occupied is always gonna be a concern. So, you all got your pick today. Leapfrog? Hopscotch? We got some sidewalk chalk over here, if you want to scribble the he--ck out of the fake sidewalks today, yo. Call it bonding time. And when you’re done, we got juice and cookies.”
Because Reno thought it was funny to pump the children full of sugar, and then send them home with their mommies and daddies. As you do.
“Get to it, kids!”
[Open!]
