hail the orphan king(s)

[kickingand]

Who: Dean and uh.... a wee Sam Winchester
Broadcast: fleetwide!
Action: Red Fish
When: nooww

[ Dean looks ultimately..... tired. And vaguely grumpy, but when does he not look like either of those things. Though it could be said he has good reason for this as there is a toddler-sized child in his arms, preoccupied with screeching and reaching desperately for the ground. It's shouting his name on repeat 'Dean, dowwn, Dean, dooowwn!' but as soon as he puts the child back on the floor, he's immediately reaching back up again, tugging on Dean's jacket, arms reaching for the sky.

'Dean! Deaaan!'

Truth be told, this is not actually something unfamiliar to him.

It's just something that feels as if it happened a million years ago. ]

Looking for some place to take a kid. [ Wait, let's rephrase. ] Not to dump him, but to get him outside.

Don't feel like cramping him up in here while we've got the chance to get out and-- haven't exactly toured the place much. Just want to get him out without having to deal with... anything. Keep him in here and he'll find his way to the armory when i'm not looking.

[ You think he's kidding. Winchesters and guns are like peanut butter and jelly.... give Dean another second while he swaps the kiddo from one hip to another, almost like he's done this once or twice before. It almost even looks like he's doing that bouncing-baby thing. ]

I'd appreciate the advice.

What the actual fuck.

[ well, isn't this curious... ]

If you're not keen to take him down where the factions are constantly squabbling over themselves, you may want to try that dog park instead. The new one they just added to the fleet. Children like dogs, don't they?

[ flying by the seat of her well-tailored pants, here. ]

[ eww your face ]

Glad to know you've never seen a real live kid before.

[kickingand]

[ Now if that isn't one of the best damn ideas he's ever heard.... ]

Kid's always had a thing for dogs.

[ ah, righty-o then. ]

Is he yours?

[ your son, she means. ]

[kickingand]

[ The question earns an arched brow becuase of course he's his, he's Sa-- Oh.

Duh.

Let's just all witness as the small child smacks him on his cheek before asking to once again be put down on the floor. ]

My brother. Think his augment turned back the clock.

-- I've seen it happen, before. That particular sort of glitch. [ ... ] Never so young, however.

[ peggy clears her throat. it was (by all accounts) an unfortunate assumption. ] What's his name?

[kickingand]

[ In all honesty he's not terribly fussed, even if he's fairly sure nobody should ever allow him near most children. But this one he's fairly used to, so he's practically nonchalant. ]

Guess we just got lucky. [ Just like they always do. ] Sam.

[ sam. and with a brother. my, doesn't that sound familiar?

all business: ] How long has he been like this?

[angelherding]

[no eww YOUR face!!]

I've seen plenty. I don't live under a rock, Dean.

[kickingand]

Not very long, little less than a day. Wouldn't keep him cooped up in here any longer than that.

[kickingand]

No, just a hole in the ground.

[ He has no time for your shenanigans, he has a feisty wee one!! Who is now once again toddling around his feet. ]

[angelherding]

Wow, that was almost a joke.

[because she crawled out of a hole, get it, look Dean your humor is still there!!]

Farming planet. Lots of space to run. Kids like to do that, don't they? And it'll tire him out and shut him up.

[did she just offer legit advice?

shut up]

-- Also, they've got something of a garden put together on the Iskaulit. I can't speak to its suitability for children. Dogs, flowers, and maybe a twirl in one of the shuttles wouldn't do him any harm if you've got the pilot augment.

[kickingand]

[ ...... was that legit advice.

And the thing is he wants to take it BUT YOU'RE YOU. What hardships he has to face for the small child who is babbling prolifically at his feet before once again (insert heavy sigh) he asks to be picked up. And by ask I mean jerking his arms skyward and whining with an exaggerated 'DEAAN.' ]

Is there some place where the factions aren't around to bitch. [ Just gonna gingerly scoop up kiddo again. ]

Security. [ Thus: the extra concern for the armory. Little grubby fingers might totally be pulling at his hair now, lord above Sammy, why are you the handsiest of children. ] Otherwise i'd take him for a spin.

But keeping up with him in the garden could be worth it. Long as he doesn't try to eat anything. [ .... well okay, Dean might be rethinking that idea. ]

[angelherding]

[your life is, as always, so incredibly difficult]

Lucky you, farmland is lacking in faction politics. It's surprisingly peaceful there, which is why I got the hell out of there as soon as I realized.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Oh no small children. Cara's eternal nemesis. ]

Why do you have a child.

[namisan]

[Give her a few seconds while she just stares blankly and the other shoe drops.




Oh. There we go.]

Don't tell me.

...Is that much of a risk, with him? [ good god this poor child. ]

video.

[paraclete]

[Kaworu knows only the barest fraction about children, and even then, barely that. But he's at least trying to speak from experience: there was a time when he was little, too, and at that time... Well,]

Swimming, perhaps.

[His face is noticeably enthralled, despite that ever-present composure.]

[kickingand]

[ Baby Sam's cheek patting game is strong, after which he claps his hands, quite pleased with himself.


... Dean is just kind of used to this. ]

He wasn't always twenty feet tall.

video.

[kickingand]

[ Dean is not sure if he's enthralled by this turn of events, but he's kind of pleased Sam has changed tactics when it comes to exactly how he's following him around. Even with this up and down nonsense, he's not overly bothered.

Kid is cute though, he'll give him that. ]

There a place with a shallow end?

[ video ]

[kickingand]

[ Dean would agree with this if this small child didn't happen to be related to him. ]

Because my brother's augment decided he was better off as a kid, maybe.

[kickingand]

[ Dean would say he doesn't remember much of what baby Sam did as a child, but that would be the hugest of lies. ]

Think this is the age where everything was worth eating.
