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.]

"That's great. What're you making?"

'Mike' added some straight lines for arms and legs and then stuck her other hand in the blue paint. She added a blue blob to the middle of the green blob and then held it up for Sam to see, not caring that she got hand prints all over the paper. "Mike Wazowski."

To Sam, it kind of looked like a star going nova. "That's very pretty. You must have done this before."

Some of the paint dripped off the paper and onto Sam's pants and the floor. "Oops. Stay here while I get some paper towels, okay?"

'Mike' was three. Staying put was not on her list of learned behaviors. As soon as Sam's back was turned, Mike got up and went over to the bookshelf. She started pulling books off the shelf with her paint covered hands until she found one she liked. Then, she sat down and started reading, singing to herself the whole time.

Sam returned from the sink, carrying dripping paper towels, and saw Mike, sitting among a pile of colorfully handpainted books. She groaned--it served her right.

She made her way over to the little girl. "Are you doing painting? I'll wipe your hands off so you don't get the book all painty. Er, paintier."

Mike started telling Sam about the pictures in the book, pointing emphatically to the picture of a ducky. The ducky was soon obscured by green paint.

"I see," Sam nodded at the description, even though she understood about one word in eight. "That's quite a ducky. And so very green, now."

She decided to go with it--the paint wasn't hurting anything, and it was just a simulation. "So you like duckies? What kind of sound do the duckies make?"

Mike looked up at Sam. "Ducky. Quik-quik." She pointed at the picture again.

"Quack-quack," Sam agreed. She pointed at the picture and promptly got green paint all over her index finger. She showed it to Mike. "Green, see?"
