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 snickered. "His friend Mandy Gilligan. So one day Spike-head Billy-Mike Wazowski and his friend Mandy Gilligan were out playing in the snow, when all of a sudden there was a big - " Angel held up his hands a little bit " - bad - " a little bit more " - SNOW MONSTER, RARRRR!!!!" He held up his hands all the way and acted like he was going to chase the kids.

[ooc: and sadly I have TOTALLY lost track of time. Must run to dinner. Back in a few hours, say 9pm Eastern give or take]

Boo held up her hands like claws and growled back. "Rarrrr!"

Mindy watched this exchange with wide eyes and then applauded.

"Aaaaah!" screamed Stewie, jumping off the floor. He regained his composure and tried to play it off. "I was just...getting a little into the story...SHUT UP!"

Vendetta rolls her eyes at everyone. "Stupid children," she grumbles.

Jamie peered up at Angel through his gas mask. "Are you my mummy?"

Ralph yelled and leapt up.

And then frowned, lower lip a-tremble.

"I think I wet myself."

He quietly sat back down, though.

Angel smiled with pleasure at their reactions. He sat back down. "The monster was big, and scary, and had - how many legs did the monster have?"

"Free!" yelled Mindy holding up five fingers.

"Yellow!"

"Three million legs," Angel said, nodding at Mindy. He used his arms to pantomime the monster's legs, reaching for the kids as though to tickle them. "And the legs were here - and here - and here - and everywhere!"

"Ahhh!" Billy spazzed and flailed at the threat of tickles.

Ralph fell over laughing and flailing.

No, he hadn't been tickled, actually.

"Our heros were trapped," Angel said, miming being trapped. "Snow monster everywhere! What could they do?"

Boo made her hands into claws again. "Rarrr!"

"Oh no!"

"Boo is right," Angel said. He made his hands into claws just like hers. "They had to be just as scary as the snow monster. Do you know what snow monsters are scared of?"

"Lobsters?" Ralph asked seriously.

"Balloon!"

"Crackers!"

"Fire!" Angel said. "Now fortunately our prince, who was incredibly smart as well as handsome, had wooden stakes on him and a cigarette lighter. Do you know what those make if you put them together?"

"Barbecue!" Billy exclaimed, salivating on the floor in huge gouts.

Mindy is listening to intently to yell anything out.

Angel tapped his finger to his nose. "That's right! It makes barbeque. So our prince and his good friend lit up the stakes and threw them at the snow monster, zap, zap, zap!"

Angel mimed throwing stakes.
