THE BABY PARTY

[afineknight]

WHO: everyone!!
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Day 33, around lunchtime

[ Since it is a Daffodil rite, the Daffodils (at least, the ones that are not children who have no idea what they're doing and therefore aren't Tart, the best baby shepherd ever) have set up a little party in the rec room for all the kids and their poor beleaguered adults!

They've set up snacks and pulled out a few games as well as some pillows from the library for naptime and books — including picture books — nearby before putting the word out to others to stop by the rec room around lunchtime. And hey, if they have anything they can bring along, all the better! ]

Oh. It... wasn't so bad. I wonder if that was really my future.

[leonheartedly]

Should I hope it is or hope that it's better?

[adorabrawler]

[ a lazy shrug ]

I dunno. The details are fuzzy on me now, anyway.

[leonheartedly]

Hah, that doesn't surprise me. I'll just hope it's good, then.

[adorabrawler]

Well, I don't see any reason why it'd go bad... I have a home to go to, and good friends, and I make good grades, and all that other stuff.

[leonheartedly]

Well - good. I'm glad to hear that.

[adorabrawler]

Anyway, I'm surprised you only went kinda younger and not full on baby.

[leonheartedly]

Full on baby would have been a little less awkward, I think.

[adorabrawler]

Would it? 'Cause I could've gotten some actually embarrassing stories about you.

[leonheartedly]

[his lips twitch]

Ah, you want blackmail material.

[adorabrawler]

More... I crave more blackmail!

[leonheartedly]

Sorry, I've never done anything embarrassing in my entire life.

[adorabrawler]

Wow, that's sad. Are you just boring?

[leonheartedly]

[a huff of laughter]

You saw what I was like when I was younger. Do you really think that guy never did anything embarrassing?

[adorabrawler]

That's more like it. I bet you did all sorts of stuff.

[leonheartedly]

[solemnly]

I dressed like a dad. Super uncool.

[adorabrawler]

[ ? ]

Dressed like a dad...?

[leonheartedly]

[a little puff of laughter]

I wore like, button-downs and white sneakers. Real boring stuff.

Someone told me I dressed like a dad and it stuck with me.

[adorabrawler]

Huh... Are dads supposed to have a certain look?

[leonheartedly]

It's like . . . a joke-y cliché.

[adorabrawler]

Ohhh.

... Sorry. Ruined the joke.

[leonheartedly]

Heh, it's fine. You can't ruin a joke if you didn't know it existed.

[adorabrawler]

Guess not. I rarely saw my own dad in stuff that wasn't fancy business attire.

[leonheartedly]

Yeah? A couple of my friends' dads were like that. Never saw 'em in anything else.

[adorabrawler]

Yeah, but it's probably 'cause he was always working.
