[closed] the (worst) babysitter club
Who: Rasu & Sawatari
When: January 13th
Where: A suburb house in Tokyo
What: Prayer 39, trying to cheer some crying babies up.
[ Children can be a lot to deal with, he knows this. He scared a child shinki on accident just a little while ago after all. But he wants to do his best, and he wants to try his hardest for the sake of Sawatari, especially. He doesn't want to be a lousy god after all.
But when he stares at the three little children just crying and screaming their eyes out, it's a lot all at once. Okay, he can do this. ]
D-do I just... pick one of them u-up? Should we f-feed them? Ch-check if it's any of the b-big baby things first?
[ He hasn't handled a baby in, what, 80 years? And that was before his parents kicked him out of the house and he was a child himself at the time! ]

hi hello i am finally Here
Uh...yeah, I guess? Let's try rocking them and singing them something? Maybe they're just weirded out since their mom's not here or whatever...
welcome welcome<3
[ Rasu only hums, he doesn't sing, but maybe that works too.
Does Rasu look like he's a nurse? Well, if you disregard the robe he wore when he came here. He's certainly far from spoiled though, and Sawatari is young, so maybe he... knows more about kids? ]
If, if they let p-people babysit they know how to b-bottle feed, right? If they're h-hungry.
[ He can't exactly offer anything in the breast milk section. ]
no subject
[Don't let him sing. It'll be loud and obnoxious. Charming in its own way, but not what these kids need.]
And, uh, yeah! They probably have instructions for formula and stuff in the kitchen or something.
no subject
[ He doesn't even know your singing is loud yet, but it's good to make things clear. ]
Sh-should I go check that wh-while you try singing a little b-bit?
no subject
[sawatari doesn't know what a low volume is.]
Don't worry, things'll be all right here!
[famous last words.]
no subject
[ He trusts you Sawatari!
He goes off to the kitchen to try and look for instructions. Luckily there are some on the fridge, if he hadn't found any he would have to look online and he can go down a rabbit hole when he does that. ]
no subject
While he's...not singing as loud as he could have been, he's clearly singing a random lullaby in a bawdier voice than necessary. The child he's currently rocking isn't really crying but...they do look visibly distressed and/or confused processing this.
Crying will probably resume shortly, and the shinki is completely oblivious to the danger.]
no subject
He can hear... something from where he left the shinki with the children, and he comes back as soon as possible, not yet knowing there's impending chaos around the corner when he comes with some bottles of milk. ]
I g-got the-- um, a-are they ok-okay, aren't they c-crying more than b-before...?
no subject
[Blinking owlishly. The question has the effect of cutting off his own lullaby, which the child in his arms looks exceedingly grateful for (if not still confused).]
Nah, of course not! As if they'd cry after my genius ministrations~
[only because they don't understand, Sawatari. It was a very close thing.]
no subject
Ah, o-okay, maybe they're just h-hungry then...
[ He hands Sawatari one of the bottles and then eyes the other baby. Okay. Now he has to pick it up. He lifts it up slooowly, making sure not to drop it. ]
M-maybe we should s-sit down so we d-don't drop them when we h-hold so much...
[ Holding baby AND bottle? Takes coordination. ]
no subject
[Dropping a baby doesn't seem like a good idea, even if Sawatari totally has enough coordination to feed like. Five babies at once. HE COULD DO IT. REALLY.
no he can't]Hopefully them being hungry is all it is...
[Except the particular child in his arms is being fussy and won't take the bottle.] Geez, this is perfectly fine formula! Really!
no subject
[ They're always hungry, right? Or maybe that was just him as a child cuz. Famine.
There's one more baby, and he's got a bottle for each, but... Should he put the one in his arms on the couch and get the other one and maybe they can feed them all at once? He doesn't want to just... prioritise. ]
C-can you make sure this one d-doesn't fall while I g-get the last o-one?
no subject
[Carelessly putting the bottle down, while the fussy child in his arms just continues to get fussier. And now he's going to take Rasu's kid. This is just asking for more trouble, isn't it?]
no subject
[ And when he's back they can feed the others and try to figure out why the one in Sawatari's arms is so upset it doesn't even want to eat.
He leaves Sawatari with one child on each arm; hopefully half a minute isn't long enough for mayhem to break out. ]
no subject
[He might be regretting this already a little.
Especially when by the time Rasu comes back, the one fussy child is now pulling on Sawatari's hair and the other is tugging at his shirt collar.
He's very tuggable.]
Wh-hff-! Ow! Cut it out already!
[They're not listening. Yugioh hair is just so fascinating, man.]
no subject
The curse of Yugioh will never die.
When he comes back into the room he's worried right away, and tries to help Sawatari out in his struggles. ]
O-oh no... A-are you okay?
[ He does his best to pry tiny fingers out of the shinki's hair while still holding on to the third child that's chewing on his hair. It's long enough that it doesn't hurt yet and he's distracted enough to not have noticed so far where he sits down next to the other. ]
no subject
[Say that again once the child stops tugging at your mouth, Sawatari.]
Awwwawawwwaaaa...sownds wike they'd waffer eat anyfing other than foowd...
no subject
P-please, child-children b-b-be nice...!
no subject
A-aah, well, I can't help it if I'm just so a-ppeal-ing to children everywhere, yeah?
[Just. Don't scratch the face. Not the face! Ack!]
no subject
Y-you're p-p-popular.
[ So much so that the kid he just removed from you is now crying and yelling, clearly wanting to go torture Sawatari some more. ]
P-p-please don't c-c-c-cry...!
no subject
Naturally! See, things are fine!
[Except when there's not enough of him to go around, apparently? Please don't ignore the crying child, Sawatari.]
