The Danger Shop was set up like a very large childcare center today with The Tick standing in the middle of the room. "Hello, students!" he said when the students entered the shop. "Come over here and sit in a circle!"

He passed around the sign-in sheet, with the following names on it:

Angel
Callisto
Samantha Carter
John Crichton
Alphonse Elric

"Today, you'll be learning about responsibility in one of the most trying ways there is. Today, you'll be watching children! The kids themselves are just Danger Shop holograms, so they can't actually be hurt or anything, but you should still treat them as you would a real child. You're responsible for their fake well-being and you shouldn't expect me to bail you out if you have trouble. Please remember, they outnumber you. The simulation will end at 5:00 PM FHT. Okay, bring on the kids!"

Another list appeared. This list was of the children who would be here today.

Billy
Boo
Jamie
Mindy
Ralph
Stewie
Vendetta

[OOC: In the shop is pretty much everything you might need in a typical childcare facility. Toys, books, bits of electronic that could be fashioned into a laser gun laying around in some drawers... The usual. You can leave as early as 5:00 EST, but feel free to play past that if you're having fun.

The activities listed are guidelines the students should work toward. The children... well, they'll do what they'll do. Hopefully it'll all go together smoothly and we won't have someone fingerpainting during naptime. Right. Becuase what we want is for this to be easy. Sure.

That all said, this will be very hands off for me. Jump in, play, and try not to kill each other.

I have to be in the office for a couple hours, so if you need me, ping me via e-mail.]

Callisto picked up the ball and started tossing it from hand to hand.

"Dolly." Mindy stated, probably to remind herself what she was after.

She pushed herself up to a standing position, wobbling a bit, she smiled as she got her balance. She reached up for the first shelf and started scrambling up the bookshelf.

Callisto looked up from the ball to see Mindy climbing the bookshelf.

She shrugged and started wandering back towards it.

Wiggling her feet in the air while trying to get leverage, Mindy is already a good five feet up off the ground.

Callisto strolled over and looked up at Mindy. "Looking for anything in particular?"

By the time Callisto finishes strolling over to the bookcase, Mindy has made quite a bit of progress.

"Dolly!" she says as her foot catches on the spines of some large storybooks. This gives her the leverage she needs to get up on the next shelf, but it also sends an avalanche of books tumbling down at anybody standing nearby.

Callisto winced as one of the storybooks bounced off her head.

"Okay that's really not going to do."

She started climbing the bookshelf.

Callisto is much taller, but Mindy has a bit of a head start. She could probably catch up with the toddler in short order though.

Mindy's waggling searching foot finds stability on an enormous snow globe which contains a miniature version of Fandom Island.

As she tries to push herself up to the next shelf the snow globe gets closer and closer to the edge...

Callisto looked up to see how much further she had to climb.

She saw the snowglobe.

She had a very bad feeling about this...

Both of Mindy's feet slipped and slid across the top of the snow globe as she struggled to pull herself up.

"Dolly!" she called out to the object of her desire. The Butter Lettuce Baby, seemingly miles away at the top of the bookshelf, sat placidly and inanimate.

The snow globe, on the other hand, toppled over; thankfully it fell further into the shelf and not over the edge.

Mindy dangled free for a moment and then started to fall.

"Weeeeeeee!"

Knocking her head against the wood of the bookshelf. Callisto reached out her arm to catch Mindy.

Callisto catches the child with ease in her arm.

Mindy giggles as she is caught and gives Callisto that hug she offered earlier.

"Hello Pretty Hair Head Lady!"

"Hi." Pausing for one final head-shelf, Callisto started climbing down again.

That last head-shelf probably wasn't such a great idea, as it causes the tipped over snow globe to roll around and off the edge, heading directly for Callisto's head.

Mindy looked up at the falling globe.

"Sparkles!"

Callisto looked up. "Oh, frak me."

Holding tightly to Mindy, she backfliped off the shelf, avoiding the snowglobe.

"Weeeeeeeeee!" Mindy waved her arms and feet as she and Callisto flipped through the air.

The snow globe bounces once when it hits the ground. Thankfully, it just cracks rather then shattering. So no broken glass, but there's a large puddle of water and glitter spreading out in front of the bookshelf.

Callisto backed away from the puddle. "How about we do some fingerpainting now?"

Mindy smiled up at Callisto.

"Oh frak me!" she cheered with a huge smile.

"I'll take that as a yes." Callisto put Mindy down and pushed her towards the fingerpaints. "Go on."

Mindy toddles off to the fingerpainting table.
