[OPEN]

Who: Slaine Troyard ([personal profile] terrantrash) & YOU
What: Slaine's got a new, more domestic job, working at an orphanage. Taking care of kids is a lot harder than he thought, not to mention shopping for diapers is embarrassing.
When: June
Where: Around Olympia, at one of the orphanages.
Warning(s): N/A



PLAYGROUND GAMES

[It's definitely not a job he ever saw himself fulfilling, but ever since Mikazuki more or less forbade him from returning to the Institute, Slaine's been doing his best to settle into a new, domestic role. The orphanage the martian had suggested he apply to had welcomed him with open arms, desperate for younger workers to help out. It isn't a very big building and it doesn't house too many children, but there's a big enough gated yard outside for them to play in that Slaine can only hope doesn't feel too restrictive. As someone who grew up without playmates his age he finds it hard at first to relate to the wild, fantastical games they want him to play with them. Luckily though for Slaine his imagination helps bridge the gap and once he'd managed to get over his self-consciousness, he'd thrown himself right into their make-believe worlds.

It's funny, how much the kids seem to gravitate toward him. Even the more quiet, shy residents will go out of their way sometimes to take up a spot beside him if he's got a book ready for storytime. Currently Slaine's out in the yard, dressed casually with a half apron tied around his waist. He seems to be running away from a small hoard of little children of various races (some have fangs or pointed ears or horns on display) only to dramatically throw himself up against the metal fencing of the yard. He'd agreed to play 'capture the wyvern' and it's clear from the shouts of the kids that he's clearly their prey.]


Ah-! Help!

[It might seem like he's calling out to whoever's on the street walking by to save him from the rascals but the shout isn't directed really at anyone specific. Not that one couldn't mistake his cry for help as genuine.]

BABIES R US

[This is definitely not a shopping trip Slaine ever thought he'd have to embark on. Armed with a list of various items he has to pick up for the youngest members of the orphanage, Slaine's basket is already filled with various baby paraphernalia. There are bibs, diapers and even bottles shoved into his basket, as he stares down a wall of various baby formula mixtures. Who knew infants could be so complicated? How was he supposed to choose the right one?

If he notices you passing by he'll call out to you timidly, gesturing to the formula behind him. Slaine definitely looks too young to be a dad just yet, so he's well aware his little shopping trip is probably raising a few eyebrows.]


Um...you wouldn't happen to know the difference between these, would you? I'm not really sure which is the best to get...

WILDCARD

[Slaine can be found working at the orphanage in Olympia with a smile on his face, either playing with the kids in the yard or reading to them under a tree. It's probably the happiest he's looked in awhile for those that know him. He can also always be caught leaving the place in the evening after his shift is over or out pushing a pram with two interesting looking toddlers strapped inside, one with purple skin and tiny horns, the other pale with pointed ears and silvery hair. Hit me up with whatever and I'll work with it or I can start something as well!]

[Mephisto knew of Slaine's departure from the Institute after... something went down, who ever know tbh. But he's been busy with his own matters as of late, and hasn't had quite as much free time to keep an eye on Slaine. But surely after all those months of secrets spying on him and Yona, he'd probably prefer his privacy, right?]

[Well, apparently Mephisto should have been keeping an even closer eye on Slaine-- because that sure is a baby stroller he's pushing. With two children who are very clearly unrelated.]

[Slaine will hear a voice calling from just above his field of vision, where "Faust" stands perched up on top of a lamp-post like it's the most natural thing.]


Oh my! Just how many wives do you have now? And here I thought only Miss Asseylum had your heart!

Well, of course not! It wouldn't exactly work as a joke if you were.

[Slaine y u gotta be such a stick in the mud??]

[he disappears with a poof, only to reappear standing beside Slaine -- just out of view of the babies, lest he startle them into crying. It might seem like a rather thoughtful move, but really, he'd just find it annoying.]


Baby sitting for a friend, perhaps?

An orphanage, hm? Well, I can't say you ever struck me as the sort to be interested in child rearing... but perhaps a demon isn't the best person to be judging such a thing.

[Since they don't really raise their children, if they ever even both having any. They don't even childhoods, really.]

[But there's nothing particularly mocking when he says it -- since it's just an observation. Even if his general demeanor might make it easy to assume there's some hidden motive behind his words.]


Do you enjoy it?

[Atsushi is just returning from some shopping after work when he hears that cry. Strangely - and perhaps illogically - the fact that it's a familiar voice makes him more worried than the fact that it's a cry for help. But then, he came too close to losing people he cared about, a while ago... The last thing he wants is a repeat.

So he runs on over, shopping bags in tow (he's not going to just drop food!) - and finally comes to an abrupt halt as he rounds a corner and sees what's going on.

... Look, either those are surprisingly murderous kids, or...]


Slaine-kun...?

[Ren is busy getting food for his own meals when he's stopped by the young man. The young man with all of the baby related items.]

How many babies are you planning on feeding?

[He's not well versed with taking care of infants but he is good at trying to determine how much food to make depending on the number of people to be served.]

[ why is a2 here???

she isn't a mom. she can't be a mom. she won't even think about adopting childing. so why is she in a place like this???

because i said so. she does get curious and wandering around when she has nothing better to do is fun. sometimes. this place is sort of weird though and it's not the place she would take any of her friends too. ]


I don't know what they're even for. [ babies are weird... ]

[Well, this is awkward... It's kind of funny, but Atsushi is still only 99% sure that Slaine doesn't need help, so... can he really take that 1% chance?

Hovering awkwardly with his groceries... Um.......

Fortunately Slaine fixes the situation soon enough, the kids listening to him surprisingly well, even if some of them seem a bit sulky about it. At least that proves that Slaine isn't in trouble, then...]

[It's not like Atsushi needs all the kids to disappear, but... he still stares at the clingy girl. That's adorable... and a little unexpected, somehow?

No, thinking on it some more, this seems like a really good fit for Slaine - with what little Atsushi knows of him, anyway. But even so... it is a surprise.]


I didn't know you were looking for this kind of job...

[His eyes drift to the girl again, though it's Slaine he keeps addressing.]

You seem to be quite a natural.

Do they only eat formula or do they have any solid foods?

[He's normally not that talkative, but questions about food get his attention.]

[So it was Mikazuki who suggested it... Atsushi can only agree, though. While he enjoyed working for the Institute, himself, after finding out about the kind of research that was being done, he couldn't stay on, himself. He's even been on a few of Cree's missions against it, in spite of the fact that he doesn't trust Cree.]

Well... he was probably right.

[He could explain that opinion, but... not here and now, least of all with children present.]

But that's a really good career switch. Look, she really likes you! [That poor girl, afraid of even Atsushi. All things considered, Atsushi thinks it's best not to address her directly. He crouches near the fencing.] Can I say hi?

[Look, babies and small children come to the clinic sometimes too. Sometimes supplies run low, and Mipha'll make a run to the store to pick things up for everyone--it's just easier that way and she enjoys it.

Slaine's doing his best, apparently, and Mipha looks up as she's addressed.
]

Hm...? [oh. Poor thing looks Very Lost. It's not like Zora children need milk or formula so Mipha doesn't realy know everything here, but...] Well, I'm not exactly an expert, but... [She trails off, examining the wall of formula.]

Some of these are for babies who can't handle normal formula, and different variations of that. Is there any in particular you're looking for?

Even hard work can be enjoyable when it's rewarding. Perhaps you've found your calling?

[He won't stand in his way, falling into step with him so Slaine can continue on his path. But yeah, he'll be sticking around a bit -- it's been a while, after all.]

Ah, but new employment aside, how have you been? I regret that I've been so busy lately, I haven't had the chance to check up on you since our last chat.

Yes, I imagine it is rather difficult supporting a wife and kids in this economy.

[A JOKE but a joke with a purpose, because he's pretty sure the teasing will get Slaine's mind off their last chat -- when neither of them were in a very good place, but nonetheless, were able to be there for one another in some regard.]

But I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Though I haven't had the chance to speak with you, I have kept an eye on you in some regard-- ah, not to have you thinking I'm spying on you, of course!

[It's totally spying.]
meinwaifu: (Like trying to be hellish ♪)

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2018-06-10 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not spying on your personal affairs, if that's what you're worried about.

[Hmm. There's a moment where he considers using a joke to deflect, but... Slaine deserves better than that.]

...but I know a number of the extremists who escaped on the day you came to rescue me saw your face. I've only kept tabs on you just enough to be certain that you weren't near any of the places where I later found them to be hiding.

[Just enough to make sure Slaine isn't being made a target by those who remain on the run.]

[...which also kinda explains what he's been up to all this time.]
