Maruki and I have found a nice space to set up a nursery.

It's got a comfortable amount of space and I've added a chair and a speaker - since music is supposed to be quite important for growth, according to studies. I'm already looking forward to taking care of them in here, even with the inevitable hard work.

It'll be my first foray in quite a while raising something that isn't an AI! ʱªʱªʱª (´ᗢू`∗)

I'm sure they'll keep me quite busy.


All of that said, I've never furnished a nursery before. Any advice on furnishing the space would be appreciated.

[ ...At least there aren't gonna be any baby Marukis. Morning is bad enough; Ren doesn't even want to know what Maruki would do to a newborn.

He scrolls through the post again. ]

Thank you, thank you! I had that drafted juuust right to make a certain someone do a double-take.

[willowandoak]

what if someone did get pregnant tho
like what would happen to the kid
would it stay here forever or go home with one of the parents
+ if so which parent
kinda fucked up to think abt actually

[dollmaxing]

Could be, but with the ability for our phones to communicate across dimensions, and with Phoenix's whole story... well, maybe there's some interesting workarounds yet to be discovered?

Most of you are paired off with partners that couldn't get you pregnant though, so between that and forms of birth control, I imagine the odds of finding out through a mishap are minimal.

[willowandoak]

ig thats true
phoenix casting an evil demon spell to send a baby to a different dimension

[dollmaxing]

That sounds like the start of a TERRIBLE isekai. And how evil can you be, reuniting families... unless there's a monkey's paw twist!

[willowandoak]

when has there ever NOT been a monkeys paw twist be fr

[dollmaxing]

Right? But I guess it would be anticlimactic if things just were straightforward all the time. Then again, people tend to innately bias their memories on the extremes - saves the brain some work and effort not bothering to try and recall every time you brushed your teeth or got on the train, right?

[willowandoak]

ok
but whats the horrible extreme brushing teeth incident tho

[dollmaxing]

Brushing your teeth and a tooth falls out, I'd say. Or your gums are exceptionally bloody.

Did you know that about 40% of the population, roughly, has nightmares about their teeth falling out?

[willowandoak]

tf???
i thought that was just me

[dollmaxing]

Nope! It's one of the more common nightmares. I used to have the ones where I'd bite on something like a candy or an almond and my tooth cracked instead of the food. I always woke up feeling nauseous because I remember it feeling like gravel was in my mouth.

[willowandoak]

thats so fucking weird
why teeth falling out
falling or w/e makes sense but teeth????

[vampirethief]

God I hope that doesn't ever happen. That egg baby thing a while back was weird as hell.

[Granted Kaitou is fairly sure he's infertile due to being undead, but he doesn't know if that's true or not. Granted his version of Tae Takemi was "naturally born" as a vampire, so who knows?]

[willowandoak]

yea..... igor has some weird ideas
the lil orbs are funny tho

[vampirethief]

Yeah, I can't tell if it's desperation for us to make bonds with each other or boredom or both.

True, they are funny.

[willowandoak]

or some weird third option
idk what it is
but theres no way that guy is on the level

[ Ren's back with his anti-Igor agenda again. ]

[vampirethief]

I'm not sure I wanna know what that weird third option would be.

[First thought is a seahorse situation and no thanks.]
