Emily: DMLE's late-80s bring-your-kid-to-work-day Emily: was bad news Emily: oh wow I just had the saddest thought Larissa: ? Emily: Frank and Alice wouldnt be able to bring Neville to bring-your-kid-to-work day :-( Anna: Awwwww Cassie: :-\ Larissa: :( yeah Emily: Maybe Augusta would bring him in anyway Larissa: And if they can squeeze some magic out of him, all the better. ;) Emily: lol yeah Emily: ;-) Emily: I bet all the kids would harrass Rufus Cassie: augusta is like "you're a natural with children! why aren't you married?" Emily: hahaha yesss Xan: LOL. Emily: the kids are all sitting in a circle around Rufus's desk Emily: like Emily: TELL US A STORY ABOUT FIGHTING DARK WIZARDS Cassie: "READ US A STORY!" Cassie: "i have work to do" Cassie: "NOOOOOOOO" Xan: He would be like :| :| :| :| :| :| Emily: PLEAAASE? Emily: Well, Evil Savage baby wouldnt bother him? Larissa: And those would be the faces staring back at him! Larissa: ha Emily: he'd have snuck away to break into the Department of Mysteries or something Emily: gotten turned around, ended up in the cafeteria, and then he'd just hang out with Greta Xan: Rudiger can entertain the kids. Emily: aww Emily: Rudiger would be traumatized after that Xan: Also, I just tried to make a Rufus emoticon taking his glasses and chin into account, and it ended up looking like >8{B Emily: LOL Emily: Mary would probably lead bring-your-kid-to-work day Larissa: Ha! Anna: Sherlock would get super nervous and wonder if there's anything he should read into that Emily: loooool Emily: no Emily: she'd rather have other peoples babies Xan: I think bb Cormac would be the closest thing Rufus would have to a baby of his own, if he takes him hunting and stuff later. Anna: He'd feel much better knowing that. Provided she doesn't plan to steal one, obviously. Anna: That's pretty adorable Emily: awww Anna: Though I think children make him nervous IN GENERAL Emily: bb Cormac is always up for adoption ;-) Xan: Rufus can be the daddy lion, taking his lion cub out to learn how to hunt. Emily: HAHA yes Anna: Sherlock and children always reminds me of that Christmas episode of Psych Emily: lol Anna: All right, fellas, what do we got here? You know, Drake... technically, Jesus was born around April, so we need to get rid of this winter foliage. Oh, and Finn, the word "manger" actually refers to the wooden feeding trough that the animals used, so let's put baby Jesus in this little shot glass. Emily: I was rereading the babymeme Emily: and I think Marlock's evil child should exist Anna: Hahahaha Anna: I kind of agree Anna: I think that child would be epic Emily: pure evil Anna: EXACTLY.] Emily: he'd cause so much strife Emily: he'd end up banned from Bring Your Child to Work Day Cassie: banned for life Emily: yup Emily: he and Lydia Yaxley should be housemates Emily: and enemies 4 lyfe Emily: lol my future headcanon is on crack :| Anna: But it's AWESOME crack Anna: NGL Sherlock would be just a little proud of him when he got banned whurrwolves has left the room. 2:02 pm Emily: of course Emily: Kaz, you know who should really be leading Bring Your Kid To Work Day...Moody. Emily: (we were talking about DMLE babies) Xan: I wonder how many animals paperweights there will be running around by then. Emily: a lot Emily: they'd have an animal army Xan: Rudiger is the original~, so he will try to turn them into his pride of honorary lions. Emily: lol He SHOULD be the leader Xan: And also because he will imitate Rufus. Emily: I think Moody's will be a bear Emily: Joey is getting a panda Emily: Rudigers only real competition will be Kingsley junglecat Xan: I think Rufus is going to try and charm it to do tiny roars and actually make sounds soon. Xan: When he's bored during desk duty. Kaz: dear lord, Moody and bring your kid to work day ... this must happen Lauren: does moody have a kid Kaz: well no Kaz: but moody with everyone ELSE'S kids Kaz: because Moody with kids asking about his EYE and the patch ... decorating the patch ... they could each have one :-\ Emily: LOL YES Emily: it's that or them sit in a giant ring around Rufus's desk demanding story time Xan: Rufus will make him dress up as a pirate. Emily: LOL Emily: uh if baby Savage exists, he'll be like "you're not a real pirate..." Emily: i feel like Moody's fake eye would freak out a bunch of 5 year olds Anna: ACTUALLY he would describe the historical inaccuracies Anna: Sherlock would just put a hand over his mouth and say he has NO IDEA where he got that Xan: Rufus says asking questions is insubordination >:{ Emily: I feel like Evil Savage would bite Emily: lol Anna: Oh, THAT he gets from his dad Emily: "Insubordination? I don't work for you!" Anna: Sherlock mostly just THREATENS to bite people now Emily: in the stereotypical "you're not the boss of me!" little kid voice Xan: Some kid should make fun of Rufus' butt chin too. Emily: I'm trying to imagine who in the DMLE would have a kid that would have balls that big, Xan Emily: maybe one of the Ridgebit kids would say it Anna: I think any kid Joey and Robbie had that was more Robbie than Joey would do it Emily: aw yeah Emily: too bad that kid cant exist :'( Xan: Maybe Rufus will grow a beard one day to cover up his chin. Xan: And aww :( Anna: :( Emily: maybe Joey will adopt a plucky kid one day Anna: I suppose it's also possible that he knocks her up immediately prior to his death Emily: Charley does that to Lettie Emily: I think Katie has enough tragic surprise pregnancies under her belt Emily: (well charley goes to jail) Kaz: first - Moody so will be a better pirate when he loses his leg. second - I think a lot of kids would be curious about it. :-D third - he wants to see Rufus story time. four - even he finds the idea of babies after deaths/imprisonment a sad thing
