Sexual Health and Education, Tuesday, 1st Period
"So, you're probably going to get a hit of this for real in a couple of weeks," Kathy said, cradling a fake baby in her arms as it fussed a bit. "Prom usually comes complete with its own bundles of rambunctious energy for a few days. But they're all generally old enough for a bit of independence. Not like infants."
The baby's fussing turned to outright crying and Kathy turned to pass it over to Dante.
"Eugh," Dante said, holding the loud thing a little... gingerly. "So yeah, this is the start of your lessons about heterosexuality and shit. Sometimes you get babies!"
He waved the baby helplessly at them.
Don't wave the baby, Dante.
Kathy tsked. "There are plenty of queer relationships that can also result in unwanted pregnancies and childcare," she reminded. "Especially on this island." Beat. "Don't wave the baby, Dante."
Setting a bad example for the class!
"Anyway, these babies that you'll be caring for over the next week need to be fed, changed, dressed, put to bed, and, as you would for any baby, never left alone." She was just going to elide over the fact that they also kept track of how often all of those things happened - especially the 'being left alone' thing. "Unfortunately, since the class is so small, you're all going to be single parents this week. That's right, each of you get your own bundle of..." She looked at the crying doll. "...Joy."
"I just wanna say Dean Skywalker started this tradition, so if you wanna complain, you can take it up with him," Dante piped up.
He was so fucking glad he wasn't getting one of these.

Lecture
They're gonna dump a baby on you and also give you a handout. You're welcome.
(As well as all the appropriate baby accoutrements! So kind! So generous!)
Re: Lecture
WHY. HOW.
Meet Your Baby!
(Come get a robo!baby. You each get one to name yourself and care for for the week!)
Re: Meet Your Baby!
Look. Sometimes the more demonic parts of her soul acted up in weird ways when she was under stress. Considering how often S'ym had threatened to eat her as a child, she wasn't crossing actual-baby-eating off the list of something she'd do if provoked past the point of her self-control.
Re: Meet Your Baby!
He, uh....he didn't care much fer kids.
And then he wondered if it was a terrible thought if he was wondering what Shuri might think about helpin' him with lookin' after it a bit.
It was robotic, after all. Right up her alley!
