2nd Floor Common Room [Friday, Evening]

Mar 09, 2012 22:59

Some people were cut out to be parents. They were patient, and calm, and loved the whole idea of raising progeny. Kate... was not one of these people. Dave had deposited her with their droid baby earlier, and she'd done as little parenting as possible since. In the name of giving it something to do that wasn't spread everything she owned all over ( Read more... )

Wesley took two steps into the common room, caught sight of the droid baby, and briefly closed his eyes. "Oh, it's that week, is it?"

He should probably start bracing himself for a lot of shrieking. Since, you know, his roommate had one.

Oh, Kate's roommate had one too. This week was going to be hell on them. She got little enough sleep as it was, without bawling mechanical infants.

"Mmhm," she intoned, unenthusiastically. "You've done it?"

"I've somehow managed to avoid that particular torment," Wesley replied. Not at aaaall smugly, nope. "Or -- discounting my overhearing all the crying, I suppose. Professor Skywalker seems to have devised the one assignment that can affect the entire student body rather than just his classes."

And they said he'd gotten over the whole 'evil' thing.

"Less about learning to raise a kid ethically, more about learning how to make it not drive everyone up a wall."

Kate sighed, and gave in to tossing the nearest pillow just near the grabby droid. "How about you play with that?" she suggested, with little hope it would pay attention.

Toby gave the robot-baby something akin to a grimace as he recognized it on his way into the common room. "Ugh," he said to Kate. "That was my least favourite part of Ethics class."

It wasn't a highlight for Kate either. "Any parenting advice?" It was worth the asking. She was fairly sure they were programmed to be as annoying as possible, any loopholes were good.

"Ignoring it doesn't really work as a long-term strategy?" Toby offered.

"I was hoping maybe it would be really entertained by its own feet, and not go slobbering over everything." Wishful thinking, Kate. Wishful thinking.

"It's not like I have toys to give it."
