Eighteen: In Which Klaus Trains His Adorable Gaggle Of Children To Be Ruthless Hunters

[myblimpisbigger]

[Later in the afternoon on Easter Sunday, after family time is over (whether that's church or just loafing around with chocolate bunnies), residents may notice a group of very tiny people scuttling frantically around Mayfield's park (which is where everything seems to happen, I mean, really). This is Klaus's kindergarten class, or at least, the members of said class whose parents said they could participate in this afternoon's egg hunt.

What. Don't look at him like that. These are tiny, adorable children, even if they are drones. Do you know how difficult it is to resist that many puppy dog stares? It is very very difficult. Which is why he and Hiccup have already been out here for about half an hour, hiding chocolate eggs all over a specific perimeter. And now those eggs are falling prey to the pack of mighty hunters that is Klaus's gaggle of tiny adorable children. He is so proud of them.

Are you one of these tiny adorable children (come on, we must have some kids between three and six out there)? Are you a parent of one of said children? Do you just want to stop by to see what all the fuss is about? Feel free! There may even be left over chocolate and candy for those of you that haven't already gotten your Easter fix at home.]

{ooc: This post is open to everyone, not just any characters who happen to be Kindergarten age (though characters that are are strongly encouraged to tag in because a class of all drones would just be sad)! Feel free to stop by, watch the fun, play with the kids, or just converse with Klaus and/or Hiccup.}

[Oh! It's the girl he met the night before. Clearly she has come to be impressed by his mighty hunters.]

Hello. Shana, was it?

[One of the younger, shyer children is hiding behind his leg and peering at Shana curiously. This is new person and therefore intriguing!]

That's me, yeah.

[She looks at the drone kid curiously]

Who are these kids?

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

These children are my charges -- I have been assigned the job of kindergarten teacher by the town, in yet another display of its love for irony.

[Really, Klaus. When you liken running your country to running a kindergarten, you should really expect this sort of thing to happen.]

I guess that's why the town placed me with a surly, murderous idiot instead of a competent parent, since both of the people who raised me were incredibly competent.

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

Quite likely. If I may ask, which surly, murderous idiot are you referring to? This town seems to have a surfeit of them.

[His bet is on either Gilgamesh or the Major.]

Some jerk named Tank Dempsey.

[Yeah okay Tank Dempsey definitely sounds like a name a jerk would have.]

I'm afraid -- or perhaps glad -- that I have not made his acquaintance.

Definitely glad, trust me on that one. You're one of the few people around here bigger than him, though. I bet you could punch him out.
