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.]

Angel brightened as he thought of something. "You know what would be great for him?"

Callisto raised an eyebrow. "Baby's First Book of Deliberately Inflicted Boo-Boos?"

"Yes," Angel said, nodding with approval at the idea. "But I was also thinking of those little torches chefs use to make creme brulee. You got your fire, you got your precision, you got your easy to hold handle - what's not to love?"

Callisto thought about it. "Could work. Of course he'd need someone to teach him to use it properly."

"Oh of course," Angel agreed. "Otherwise he'd be getting the whole extremities/torso order mixed up."

"Which as we both know, leads to nothing but tears all round."

"Well then they die too quick and what's the fun of that?"

"Exactly, it entirely defeats the purpose."

"If you're going to do something, do it right."

"That's always been my philosophy, and not just when it comes to torture."

"Do you realize how bad I want to kiss you right now?"

"Even considering how much of a mood-killer the brats are?"

"Mood-killer?" Angel blinked in confusion. "The kids are great!"

"You're joking right?"

"Look at 'em!" Angel said, possibly oblivious to Callisto's disbelief. "They're so cute!"

He looked hopeful. "Think there'll be story time later?"

Callisto shook her head. "No, puppies are cute, weetiny bunnies are cute, giant squid are cute, children aren't."

"I don't know. There might be."

Angel? Still oblivious.

"We could play tag! And hide and seek! Oh! Think we could teach 'em to play hockey?"

Callisto? Was suddenly very, very glad vampires couldn't have children.

"Honey, they're not real children."

"But they could be."

"No, they couldn't."

"Could."

"Couldn't."

Angel refused to let go of hope. "You don't know that for sure."

"Only if you intend on being the pregnant one."

"What?" Angel blinked rapidly at this particular curve ball. "Oh. You were talking about... I didn't mean. I just... I just like kids is all."
