1st floor lobby, Monday after classes

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Trees are to be treasured!" Tributary yelled, marching around the lobby carrying a sign decorated with a crying tree. "Not used for toilet paper!"

Blair waved his own sign, a roll of toilet paper with a big X over it, at River and grinned. She and Ananda were standing on the sidelines, acting as either bodyguards or very silent protesters. With a tired look, River directed Blair's attention to Tributary. Kid-watching was easier when you could read what they were thinking about doing.

"Uh, sweetie?" Blair hurried over and started dragging her away from the front doors. "Let's work on not defacing public property during this protest. Daddy doesn't need any more detentions."

[Open for interaction to everyone who has access to the 1st floor!]

Mommy was doing mommy things so Sebastian wandered around until he came all the way downstairs where he saw his girlfriend carrying a sign that he didn't get.

He slowly walked over to her, glancing at the big people as he passed them.

"Hi, Tribtary. Whatcha doing?"

[smalltributary.livejournal.com]

"Protesting." Tributary said before noticing just who was asking her. "Oh, it's you. I don't like you anymore."

She brandished her sign like a very large papery weapon.

Sebastian asked, "Protesting what?" Then he frowned. "I didn't not like you first."

River would have said no, but Tributary had asked her with all the emotions of a mental hug, and when River had first said no, the girl had felt so tormented that River had had to curl up on the floor for a while. Now Tributary was back to mental hugging again.

River gave Ananda an apologetic look. Sorry.

Tiffany was actually looking for the gym, but the sight of the protesters made her stop and stare. She spotted aunt River and sidled over to her. "Auntie? What are they doing?"

ooc:oopsie. meant to post here!

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

At least not another one of hers! River blinked. "Protesting the use of non-recycled toilet paper." She added: "I'm just here as bodyguard." And, as Ananda looked at her. "So is Ananda."

Aiden was exploring the building while his mommy was elsewhere. He knew not to go outside without her, so he was searching the different floors.

And he was now distracted by the people with the signs. Aiden wondered if he could march too, it looked like fun.

[smalltributary.livejournal.com]

"Save the trees!" Tributary called to the new boy.

[beach-babyboy.livejournal.com]

"Are they sick?" Aiden wondered. He wasn't really paying attention to the signs.

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"I saw you yesterday. Your mommy talked to my mommy. My name is Sebastian."

[beach-babyboy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I saw you too!" Aiden smiled. "I'm Aiden." He offered Sebastian his hand.

"Blair?" Broots's hair was standing pretty much straight up. "Why is our room covered in popcorn?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Ask your babymomma." Blair smirked. "She showed up with half a dozen kids last night and dumped it all over the place."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots blinked. "Huh?"

After class, Aziraphale took a walk through the first floor lobby on his way to meet Wilson by the door. He was somewhat surprised to see a protest happening, and even more surprised at all the children running around.

"Er... Good morning, Mr Sandburg," he said, wandering over to Blair and eying the sign with the crying tree. "What's going on?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm so glad you showed up, I wanted you to meet-" Blair stopped as a high pitched screech sounded across the lobby.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale's eyebrows went up at the screech, and he turned quickly to see what was happening.

"Do you need some help, my dear?" he asked Blair, wondering if the young man had somehow gotten stuck with some kind of babysitting punishment.

Wilson, who had experience a few warm and fuzzy kidlet moments of his own in his class, came along through the lobby where he'd agreed to meet with Phale after classes.

He paused when he caught sight of the picture that was his lover with a small person bouncing around his legs.

Okay...that was too adorable for words.

Leto and Ghanima walked to the lobby in search for their mother and paused at the interesting spectacle.

"We don't have this in Arrakis," commented Ghanima in all her ten year old knowledge.

"Mother would not allow it." Leto answered.

[smalltributary.livejournal.com]

"Save the trees!" Tributary yelled and then stopped in front of the twins. "Hi!"

[harknesshorde.livejournal.com]

Ananda stared at the newcomers, doing her best to look like a bodyguard.

Catie had a baking sheet. And a plan.

She sat down on the sheet at the top of the staircase, and then pushed herself off with her feet.

"WHEEEEEEEEEE!"

"What are you doing?" Sophia demanded, going over to talk to Catie. "Mom is looking all over for you and you're going to crack your head open!"

[tinyevilparkers.livejournal.com]

Catie waited until Sophia went to tell on her to Mommy. Not lots of time left.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

And she surfed down the stairs again.

[smalltributary.livejournal.com]

"Hi Catie! Hi!" Tributary waved excitedly from her position in front of the doors.
