Ghost Jarky's Babysitting Service

[lass of something much]

* Infant Lass's eyelashes flutter shut

[Verdauga]

*Uses the selfie stick to hold onto the window.*
I WAS JUST TRYING TO HEAT MY PIZZA!

[Kade Rivok]

Teen Verdie has gotta go.

[Verdauga]

*Climbs back through the window and heads to the kitchen, pulling an entire pizza out of the fridge.*

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Um. That accelerated fast.
*Encases Infant Ebantu in a dark, swirling cloud*
*On second, thought, does the same to Infant Lass and Teenage Verdauga*
*On third thought, walks away*
You can take the ghost out of the evil ethereal essence, but you can't take the evil ethereal essence out of the ghost.
...But also you cannot take the love of babies and small fluffy things out of the ghost.
*Walks back inside and tucks Ebantu and Lass into their beds*
As for teenagers... eh.
*Throws Verdauga out a window*

(The two lines made me laugh IRL and Yue got a fright because we were just sitting in silence together. So I had to explain everything and then read this post to her. )

*Infant Ebby is not sleepy*

*Infant Ebby is hungry*

*Infant Ebby can smell pizza*

[Jarky Thistlebrush]

*Smashes the pizza over Verdauga's head*
*Heats up the smashed pizza and feeds it to Ebantu*
*Sings Lass a lullaby*
Rock-a-bye baby

On the tree tops,

When the wind blows

The cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks

The cradle will fall,

And down will come baby

Cradle and all.
*Was thinking of... modifying the lyrics but they are ominous enough already*

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*Infant Ebby speaks through a mouthful of smashed up pizza* They's not the right words. The right words is
Rock-a-bye baby on the treetops, when the wind blows thy cradle will rock. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, and Daddy catch baby, cradle and all.

[Kade Rivok]

Who's putting babies in trees anyways?

[Verdauga]

*Eats pizza from the crust in.*

*With mouth still full*

Y'know, most nursery rhymes are pretty brutal. The "pocket full of posies" being about the bubonic plague, "rockabye baby about a cradle with a baby in a tree falling to the ground...

[Russa Nodrey]

*Eats pizza from the crust in.*

*Gasp* You're a monster.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*Infant Ebby nods in a satisfied way* I knew so.

[Kade Rivok]

I miss stuffed crust pizza....

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*Infant Ebby yawns and rubs her eyes sleepily*

[Kade Rivok]

*Sticks a grape in Infant Ebby's mouth as she yawns.*

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*Infant Ebby spits the grape at Kade*
