So!
[Iris looks somewhat troubled, frowning a little with her brows knitted in worry, one hand on her hip.]
There's gotta be some moms and dads here, right? A big brother or a big sister, maybe? Somebody who's taken care of a baby?
... I need some help finding teething toys, there's gotta be a substitute from my hair.
[And with that terribly vague message, the feed ends!]

[And with their exciting lives? There were pinches.]
no subject
Huh, you look pretty young for a guy with three kids! How old are they?
[She nods, considering the advice.]
I'll go give it a shot and we'll see how it goes!
no subject
The twins are five and the little guy is three.
[Well, no, very important distinction]
And a half.
no subject
[Well, that explains how young he looks! She thought they'd all be a couple of years apart.]
Haha, what a kid! That "half" really means a lot to little kids, doesn't it?
[... speaking as if she isn't a child herself.]
no subject
[If he does say so himself]
It's easy to underestimate Anakin because he's quieter than his big brother and sister. But when he really sets his mind to something, he can be pretty stubborn. Like that and a half.
no subject
[Oh, but the stubbornness sounds familiar.] HA, I'll bet! Sounds like one of my friends.
no subject
[Yeah, he adores them.]
I thought I'd known stubborn. Then he learned to talk.
[Belated! Due to exams. ^^; ]
Little kids do that. It can be so annoying!
no subject
And that it won't always be that he doesn't want a nap.
no subject
Maybe like frozen vegetables?
no subject
No ice!
Nooooooooo ice! I hate frozen things and cold and snow and winter and they'd definitely be bad for this little one! We're both weak to ice.
no subject
I guess, maybe a towel or washcloth then?
[Anise isn't exactly trained in the art of taking care of babies.]
no subject
She nods.] Oh, you're the second person to mention washcloths... it's gotta be good advice!
Thanks! Say, who're you?
no subject
[Aka the
self-proclaimedsmartest and cutest girl in the enclosure.][There was probably a time where she would have introduced herself with her full title, but that doesn't seem as relevant here.]
What's your name?
[And why do you have a dragon?]
[Super belated due to exams!]
[That explains it! Except not really.]
We both have flower names! Anise, anise... [Iris taps her cheek thoughtfully.] That's good for treating wind!
[
I'M SO SORRY.]voice.
Or you could always rub whiskey on their gums.
[A+ PARENTING I AM THE BEST]
[SUPER BELATED because of exams and somehow missing this the first time, wow]
[Mister, you weren't the only one who brought alcohol into their suggestion, hello, Iris is ten and her dragon baby is dizzily swaying as it stagger-skips across the room, what've you done?!]
[NO PROB]
You're supposed to just put some on your finger!
Do you have an adult around to look out for the kid?
[BECAUSE HE IS USED TO 10-YEAR-OLDS CARING FOR OTHER KIDS LIKE THEY'RE ADULTS ALREADY BUT — also um he's not sure what's going on thanks to the whole audio thing, but is that... the sound of tiny drunken feet...]
[DW, why are you not cooperating with my e-mail provider... xD;;; BUT THANKS for the patience!]
I'm ten years old, Mister! Don't talk to me like some little kid. [She pouts, offense clear in her voice.
Er, seems like the age of majority's a teeny bit on the low side wherever she comes from...]
Cilan's brother gave me a bottle so I kind of plopped it on the washcloth like antiseptic! That's... not what I was supposed to do, was it?
[CRASH.]
Gible!
no subject
You're calling me mister and pouting, so you're pretty close to one.
[HAHA. But his good humor cringes at the crashing.]
... I'm guessing it's not an actual human baby.
no subject
['Cause um, yeah, he's noticed from day one that Gible likes to use those teeth on everything, so he can only assume that's who you're talking about...
(...Also wow don't listen to that guy right above us, Cilan might flip tables if you try to do that??)]
no subject
Well, yeah! Gible's not scared anymore, but it seems like biting is also a display of affection...
no subject
Better not have been one of the ones he liked....Well, as long as you didn't soak it in whiskey or something first because that's terrible parenting...]Perhaps that's just part of it's natural flavor? [Though, he can certainly understand why she would want it to chew on something other than her hair.] It is young, though, so it's possible that it might grow out of this "teething" phase in time...
[...Maybe.]
no subject
Uh, Cilan, your brother gave me something he said was "better than whiskey" and I haven't been able to get Gible down from the ceiling.
[Add to lengthy list of reasons to yell at Chili...
Gible sails majestically past hanging from a some Christmas decorations.]
no subject
[Oh, hi there Gible...maybe we should have taken those Christmas decorations down by now...]
Do you have any idea what it was that he gave you to use? [If Cilan knew the name for it, then maybe he would know what to do...aside from yelling at Chili about it, of course.]
voice
Anything soft and at a size baby can't swallow whole should work. Make sure the material is something someone should put in a mouth, too. Oh, if you can, make sure it's cold since the lower temperature feels better on new teeth growing in.
If you can't fine something like that, your hair seems to be doing well. It should be okay as long as none of it is swallowed.

She makes a displeased expression at "cold," shivering a bit, but nods anyway.]
B-but I don't want my cool and aggressive hairstyle ruined! [How else will she scream "FUTURE DRAGON MASTER" than hair that looks like a dragon?!]
Gible can fit something about as wide as my face in its mouth!
Thanks for the advice, miss...? [Hey, you're not someone Iris recognizes!]
voice 1/2
Wait
for it]
no subject
A-As wide as your face?!
no subject
[She brings up a baby shark-dragon with a wide mouth bearing four sharpened teeth above and two below! There's also a washcloth hanging from its mouth with so many holes it looks like Swiss cheese.]
See?
no subject
What the heck. That's not a baby -- not one she's expecting anyway. She's reminded of Linda and the talk about evolution and Masaomi called her something.]
Hey. That's not a pokemon, is it?
[Delaaayed by exams...]
[Iris, after blinking in surprise, smiled brightly.] You know what they are?!
noooo problemo
Yeah, a little. My friend was teaching me about Pokemon evolution a while back. It's like a tadpole turning into a toad, right? [METAPHORS.]
He's got a Chu. [Wait, no.] I mean, a Raichu.
What's yours? Gible you said?
no subject
A Raichu! My best friend has a Pikachu.
What's this person's name?
Yeah! Gible's just my newest Pokemon, though, I have a bunch of others with me too.
no subject
But SHOUTING OKAY. Normally this would make Kushina pull back but it's more cute, in this case. She's blasting topics at her left and right and Kushina tries to keep up, smiling a bit.]
His name is Masaomi and the Raichu's name is Linda. I knew her as a Pikachu first but she recently evolved into a Raichu. [If she doesn't include Linda she feels like she'll regret it later.]
Do all your pokemon have huge mouths and chew on hair like Gible?
[LATE because DW isn't on speaking terms with my e-mail provider, oops]
[Iris is very chirpy! Definitely more cute and mildly annoying than scary, right now anyway!]
Oh, wow, you know him? Masaomi-kun's a friend of a friend! That's so cute!
[The question takes Iris by surprise though. She blinks, then bursts into laughter!] No, no, no way! Gible's the first Pokemon I've ever had that chewed on my hair! Although, my Axew does live in my hair...
[Did you think she was joking?
If so, Kushina, prepare to be surprised! Another baby Dragon emerges from somewhere in the depths of Iris' hair! This little one's green with tusks.]
kick its butt!!!
Kushina grins a bit at the 'cute', rubbing the back of her head while mumbling "Is that so?". Luceti was a small world.
Cute and Masaomi in the same breath isn't something she would do, however. He was likeable enough, a good person. Irritating at times but Kushina thought a lot of people were annoying and it didn't stop her from calling him a friend.
... Live in what?
And there is a thing in her hair. A Pokemon thing. IS THAT WHY IT'S SCARY AND FEROCIOUS? She does look surprised but then she laughs.]
Your Pokemon really like your hair.
[GOTTA CHALLENGE IT TO A BATTLE!! o/]
[At the hair comment, Iris nods, playfully tossing her hair.]
Not a lot of humans appreciate my wild and aggressive style~ so, it's good that my Pokemon do, ri~ght?
[Axew waves politely after agreeing with Iris, waving very cheerfully and speaking in a cute, babyish voice.] Axew-axew~!
Hey, Kushina, what do you do? You never told me!
plays battle music!!!!
I like your hair just fine.
[HAIR IT'S A THING WITH HER but she's kind of charmed by the Axew. Pokemon are pretty cute. She waves back just as cheerfully, grinning.]
Hm? You never asked. You never told me your name, either.
