RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Kalooeh - 04-16-2015
Kal gets along well enough with kids. No problems with entertaining them, playing tag, letting them use her as a jungle gym, play wrestling them and letting them win, etc. Problem is if there's any kids intent on being problematic and being a little shit she would be completely willing to ductape them to a wall or shove them in an empty closet (maybe even restrained) and let them scream and wear themselves out while she goes back to the other kids. High risk of bedtime stories such as "Go the fuck to sleep".
Dheina can get along well enough with kids (not babies) if they're behaved but can be easily enough bullied by the meaner ones that just refuse to listen, and they could very easily make her cry. She would definitely have to bring someone else with that was better with discipline or even just handling stress and wouldn't be able to be pushed around or bullied by some little kid.
Most likely she'd find Lili and beg her to help because Lili has kids. Lili has lots of kids! Lili can help! Lili please help! (Lili, Ado is being mean to me! *sob*)
Sam can handle kids well enough and would be relatively good at keeping them entertained or disciplining them if they do things they shouldn't be. They'd get annoyed at the trouble makers but they'd still be able to handle them well enough. Worse case scenario they put the kids to sleep with magic when patience ran out.
Armimi would probably try to teach them about possibly interesting things about plants or Alchemy without going in to details that they wouldn't be able to understand, tell some stories, and probably use sleep spells on them so they'd just be sleeping the majority of the time. Kid isn't tired for their bed time? Well sucks for the parent but Armimi doesn't really have the patience to put up with the energy of kids for the most part, or for any trouble makers.
Cardea would teach the kids swear words and about adult related topics that they really should not be learning about and will make you regret leaving kids in her care. She would purposely feed them junk food too and caffeine or whatever eorzea equivalent to make them hyper or even sick. Sure the kids won't die or be maimed or seriously injured or anything, but she will make you regret leaving your kids with her.
Samhain..... someone call child services please. She's made a fighting ring and is making the kids and babies fight each other and encouraging the bullies to beat the shit out of the others.
At the very least she may at least make an effort to make sure they at least don't manage to kill themselves by falling down the stairs or drink the stuff under the sink..... but then again good chance they will just leave the kids completely alone and go to a bar or something. Only chance those kids arn't going to end up in poor situation is if they're relatively responsible kids themselves and only reason you need Samhain is for legal reasons, and you offer them to pay them well for no or very little work for caring for the child, or you pay them a large amount of money for them to make the effort to prevent the kids from getting hurt. The kids still likely be very unhappy because scary babysitter that won't let them do anything, but hey at least they arn't hurt or dead.
Probably would have been a better idea to just find someone that was less of a sociopath that you didn't have to pay so much gil to watch the kids.

Enla... Would probably make the children cry, and then just wonder why anyone would ever trust her around children. THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Ruran - 04-16-2015
Locke tries his best to be good with children, but he didn't have to deal with them much until recently. Mainly he'd just let them do what they want but keep an eye on them to make sure they stay out of danger/trouble. Maybe try playing a game or find something educational.
Orrian (or basically any of my alts) with kids?

RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Caspar - 04-16-2015
I think it'd depend on how old they were.
It's irresponsible to place children in Virara's care in general, but if they were young enough that she doesn't have to do much with them, feeding and changing a baby and making sure they don't wander off is not too difficult. Crying and making noise wouldn't change her endless pokerface, but she wouldn't smile and play with them either.
If they are older, it would be much worse, as Virara has no concept of what a parent is and would most likely train them with the same draconian methods as her Master, traumatizing them for life. o_0
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - C'kayah Polaali - 04-16-2015
C'kayah is fantastic with kids, and adores them. He'd have a great time babysitting. He'd probably organize them into a big, chaotic lunch production line, and then they'd all go trooping out into Thanalan for a picnic and an adventure.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Val - 04-16-2015
One of the children may end up dead, or Val will do everything he can to convince Faye to do it for him.Â
There was that one time that Val threatened to kill someone's kid because it wouldn't shut up, so I imagine anything would go.

S'khai, truth told, would probably have a blast. He raised his sisters from about 6 or 7 on, and so he has that 'motherly instinct' almost ingrained into him, not that he'd ever admit it. There would be games, and he'd probably teach them how to sew. That said, he'd also threaten their lives if they revealed any of this to anyone.
If someone caught him having fun surrounded by kids, though? Twelve have mercy, he'd switch to his 'I'm grumpy and hate this' act so damn fast them kids'd have whiplash.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Kyrio Lamansque - 04-16-2015
Kyrio has been told that he's been charming. So he would try to keep the attention of the kids with a story. Or take them to the QuickSand and teach them the art of introducing himself into conversations, whether the other people like it or not.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Erik Mynhier - 04-16-2015
Erik/I love kids. He would gather them and bring them to Sable Hall, let them play in the yard. I would let them play tag with Montblanc, ride around on Fury and delight them with aetheric tricks, summoning my armor, Flash, RoH on the practice dummies, and maybe even teach them sword and shield skill with child equipment as Tellah taught him.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Azureus Scipio - 04-16-2015
Azureus grabs all the roudy children, take them into the next room, neck snap em and then stuff them into Magitek Animatronic animals. Then he would treat the good kids to cookies and pizza
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Harmonixer - 04-19-2015
Coffin-sled rides sound like a lot of fun to me and Yhur.
I fail to foresee a problem of any kind.
They are all likely to be snappily dressed afterwards as well. Don't worry about where those clothes come from though. They won't need them anymore.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Cliodhna Eoghan - 04-21-2015
clio can not stand children. they're sticky, loud, annoying, leeches that drain you of your sanity, time and energy. i could see clio just straight up locking herself in the hanger and dumping them on erik and tellah.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Dante Abigor - 04-24-2015
Force them all to learn basic self defense and bargaining techniques until their little hearts couldn't take it anymore, then feed them meat and veggies until they fall asleep.
If that doesn't work then light something on fire and crush something hard to get them to shut up, then take a nap.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Desu Nee - 04-24-2015
Quki is quite childish herself, being the youngest of a BIG family, so she would handle it very well. It helps that she's probably the size of the kids, and she's good at making flashy stuff to impress them. All in all, it would go very well.
RE: Oh noes! Babysitting! - Unnamed Mercenary - 04-24-2015
Franz has had plenty of experience raising children, -technically- having had a daughter with his wife before his life was erm, "interrupted".
There has been an IC instance of him being stuck babysitting someone's child for an evening while they ran off, which he wasn't too excited about. Nevertheless, he tried to talk to the little girl some, played "count the people in the Quicksand", saw to it that she had a dinner that wasn't candy, and even managed to get her in bed on time.
All the while, he had only entered the Quicksand so he could buy a pitcher of ale to drown his worries in. As soon as responsibility was handed to him, he had to abandon the thought.
It was a long night.
