Fourteen: In Which Klaus Does His Job

[myblimpisbigger]

[It's funny. When Klaus likened running Europa to running a kindergarten, he hadn't actually had any experience in kindergarten-running.

Thanks to Mayfield, that has changed. Klaus has been the proud teacher of the Mayfield kindergarten class for quite some time now -- long enough, in fact, to have compiled several notebooks worth of notes on their behavior. As the majority, if not entirety, of his class is drones, he has decided that as there is nothing better to do, he may as well study the drone children in an attempt to better understand what long-term droning does the mind, specifically the developing mind.

Unfortunately, these notebooks are utterly devoid of documented incidents of his drone class interacting with Mayfield and its residents in a non-classroom setting.

So Klaus is taking some very excited drone kids on a field-trip to the Mayfield Fire Station. It's definitely not because he's actually rather fond of them and they sort of begged and he couldn't really say no I mean sure they're drones but they're still adorable tiny kids with big eyes and you don't know hard that is to RESIST, okay?

...Ahem.

You can find him (and his drone class):

A. Walking down the street on his way to the Fire Station (this is also a good opportunity to teach his gaggle about proper sidewalk and street-crossing etiquette), a group of kids ranging from ages three to six or so scampering behind him in a line like adorable soulless ducklings.

B. At the Fire Station, listening with veiled amusement as a drone fireman describes not a valiant fight to save someone's home, but a valiant fight to save someone's kitten that had gotten itself stuck in a tree. This is an intensely riveting story.

C. At the park because there is snow and they wanted to play in it before going home jeez don't look at him like that. Taking note of how they play is an intrinsic part of his research, okay?]

[Oh, Dist loves his chair. It means that he doesn't have to be crippled by what Mayfield has done to him(other than, you know, making him look regal and distinguished). So, of course, he likes to flaunt it around town whenever he can.

...

At least until he spots a very familiar gaggle of children running around the park. After day one, for some reason the librarian had decided to send him to deal with the children every time they came in, which turned out to be far more than he wants them there.

So! He's just going to speed up and hope no one sees him until he's well on his way. Not even Klaus. :|]

C is for CR, because you said you wanted some!

[Normally Aisling would be in school, but since she isn't very fond of it she likes to skip occasionally. Luckily she's aware of the "if you skip too much you'll get droned" rule by now, though. But she still doesn't want to be caught and brought back, so she's been wandering around Mayfield in a different form; particularly the park, which is her favourite haunt.

And she wasn't expecting this huge man with a big group of little kids to be here. So she'll just be watching them from a distance, curious.]

[Lex is sitting in the park, wanting to get away from the house as to entertain his own thoughts in peace and quiet... until the white haired man and the horde of drone children arrived. Lex was curious to find out why a normal human was leading the drones.]

Excuse me, Mr...

C. FOR COMPLETE HUMILIATION.

...What in the world?

[OH. WOW. SLEIPNIR SEES YOU THERE KLAUS. AND OH. WHAT A LOVELY HORRIFYING GAGGLE OF DRONE KIDS YOU HAVE THERE.]

[Sleipnir is just going to try and slink away before they see her.]

[Garviel will walk by the also huge fellow on his way to work, his jaw jutting out with an expression of determination. He will briefly meet Klaus' eyes, and give him a polite nod of acknowledgment.]

C BECAUSE IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE IN MY HEAD OKAY

[Walking home from school and looking kind of forlorn because this school thing makes no sense man, school to him is beating the crap out of and running the hell away from dragons. All this history and language arts crap makes no sense.

Math and science does, though. Those are pretty cool.

ANYWAY he stops in his tracks and kind of grins a little before approaching.]

Uh... hi...

[He still hasn't really figured out how he should address his not!dad. Klaus feels too informal for a father figure but he's never had to call anyone "mister..." and he sure as hell isn't going to call him "dad..."]
