"I'm worried that if we do go, and we take the children, we will suddenly be stuck on an island with a bunch of homeless kids." Karma frowned, "I really aught to wait until there is someone that can watch them, and then the two of us can go together." The thought that Dark could watch them flashed briefly through her mind, and then out just as quickly - that was a bad idea! He was too much like a kid himself sometimes.
"Hopefully it wont take Kail and Razz long to get back..." she started to say as the door opened and a new filly walked in. The aura surrounding her was a sickly green with... purple? Karma blinked as she watched the aura move into the room, not realizing that the purple she saw was part of the virus as well; Karma hadn't been alive during the first attack of the Smooze - there were very few ponies anylonger who were.
Not sure how to greet new children (or even if this was a new child or simply someone she had overlooked, although she wasn't sure how she could have overlooked all that green and purple - purple auras were rare in children), Karma smiled at the filly and said hello.

Baby Sea Spray smiled. "Hi." She said to Karma, even though she didn't know who Karma was, since the filly had never met her. She wondered what the adults were talking about. She had a feeling it was adult stuff that she wouldn't know about til she was older, so she didn't ask them what they were talking about.

"I'm worried that if we do go, and we take the children, we will suddenly be stuck on an island with a bunch of homeless kids."
Well, obviously. They are a Bunch and they certainly are homeless, Whisper thought with pity. She did not really understand what Karma meant. Maybe it sounded too obvious.
"I really aught to wait until there is someone that can watch them, and then the two of us can go together."
Whis smiled slightly. She was glad not to be turned down. Karma actually believed her.
"Hopefully it wont take Kail and Razz long to get back..."
The door opened. Whisper wasn't surprised to see another baby pony enter the room. "Hello," she said, feeling the familiar uncertainly.
***
Loo was chocked. Raposa was a very different pony from her. The white peg had difficulties to tell whether or not Raposa was serious. But she was happy to hear the other suggestion, and started to build the dungeon.
"Hi". Honulu-Loo waved at Seaspray. "Do you want to build a castle with us?" This woke another thought. "Raposa, who shall live in the castle, and what are we going to use?" She looked around. Was there something they could use as a princess and a dragon?

The teal-colored baby pony looked over at Loo and smiled. "Sure!" She said. She looked over at Raposa. "And hi to you, too."

"Hmm..." Raposa pondered, "Well, you mentioned a princess when you were building the tower, I suppose we'll have to have one since it is a castle. Maybe something ferocious to guard her with, since that always seems to be the case. But I've got no idea what to use... What do you think, Harvest Moon? You haven't said much." She glanced at Moon expectantly.
"And hi to you, too"
"Hello!" Raposa beamed, thrusting a hoof (incedentally, the very hoof over which had hovered a ball of Black Magic moments before ;D) toward Baby Seaspray to shake, "I don't believe we've met... Have we?"

The baby pony shook her head. "No, we haven't!" She said, shaking the other pony's hoof. "I'm Baby Sea Spray. What would your name be?" She asked with her blue eyes glowing.

Rapoas shook back, then replied, "Hi, Seaspray! I'm Raposa," She grinned even wider, "We're building a castle, do you want to help? Well, that is, if it's okay with Loo and Harvest Moon..." She gave a sideways glance to the other two block-builders hopefully. She was beginning to like this Seaspray. Raposa was an easy pushover for anyone who smiled at her.

The teal baby pony smiled. "Sure!" She said excitedly. "I'd love to, if that is alright."

Karma was still mulling over her concern about the green and purple in the newest filly's aura when the phone rang. She let it sound three times before she finally realized she was the only one there who really could answer it, but before she could get to it it stopped and she heard a voice in another room squeal "Kail!"
Smiling, because maybe she would finally get some instructions for this place, she made her way past the kids playing castles on the floor and into the kitchen, where Sherbet had picked up the too-big phone and was talking animatedly into while trying not to drop it. "Oh! Here's Karma," the filly squealed as the dark mare walked into the room and motioned for the filly to hand it over.
"Kail? Thank the Rainbows. Razz left a note, what's going on?"
"The locket holding the Rainbow was stolen last night by pirates. I've called all the Champions to Dream Valley so we can chase after them and get it back, and unfortunatly it will probably be some time before we return."
Kail sounded very upset, very nervous, and Karma could only imagine what her aura must look like right then. "Is there anything I should be doing here? We had a new filly come in just a short while ago, what do I do with her? She looks sick."
There was a pause on the other end of the line and Karma guessed Kail had mostly forgotten about the duties of running a nursery for the morning. "Just give her a cot to sleep on tonight and do your best to heal her and keep the others from catching it. Its awful when the whole nursery goes up in sickness." Another pause, "do you know if the Champions left town yet?"
"Sorry, no idea. I found a note from Razz this morning, but that's the last I've heard of him. He may still be looking for the others."
"No, they found the others, I could feel it. I hope they are on the way, we don't have alot of time to waste." Kail sighed into the phone. "If he calls, tell him I'm waiting at home and give him dirrections - he's never been here before. I'm not sure he's ever been to Dream Valley at all, so maybe give the dirrections to someone else. The yellow one. I better go before I rip this cord out of the wall with my pacing."
Karma could hear the worry in her voice, under the strain to keep it light and said her goodbyes. It seemed she would be running the nursery on her own for a while now. She hoped Dark would join them soon.

(ooc: hope it's ok if I squeeze in here. Character herding is like cow herding, except instead of people on horses there are a bunch of ponies on my shoulders shooting me with cupcakes. I planned on having Swirl find PAARS somewhere, but I guess I'll skip that part. It's getting pretty easy to "find" in this town, anyway!)
Sister Strawberry Swirl stuck her head around the corner, her bleary eyes inquisitive. "Wassat Kail?" Her voice sounded a bit bleary.
She came the rest of the way into the room, and a strong smell of sage floated around her. Her face was slightly damp, and her mane hung limply around her eyes. She'd locked herself in a closet with an electric kettle and some decongesting herbs, determined to decongest her head. These allergies were just killer. Though already she was feeling a lot better, when she was first out in town they'd hit her really hard, but now it seemed to be settling down. She'd wondered if maybe she'd caught some illness, but since she just felt a bit sniffly she'd finally decided it was no big deal.
"And how was the excursion?" She did a quick headcount, at first glance there seemed to be the right number of foals, plus...."Whis?" She turned and looked wide eyed at the familiar unicorn that had been missing from the nursery for so long.

(Of course its ok!)
"Yes, it looks like her and Razz are going to be gone for quite some time." Karma finished hanging up the phone before she turned around and took in the aura before her. She had recognized the voice as Swirl's but her aura looked nearly the same as the little filly's who had just walked in.
"The, uh, excursion went well... are you feeling ok?" Karma's face twisted up in concern. The filly had sounded and acted fine, just the aura had looked bad, but Swirl was obviously sick. And that was bad. It was bad to be the only adult here, but it was even worse to be the only healthy adult here and have to take care of sick adults as well as the children.

(ooc: Hurray!)
Swirl turned her attention back to Karma and smiled reassuringly. "Oh, yes, just allergies, I think. I felt sicker last night, but now I feel like my usual self." And that part was true, she'd felt sick before but now it really did seem to be passing. Oh well, allergies affected everyone differently, and for her part she was thankful that she wouldn't suffer for a whole season like some other poor ponies do. "Well enough for foal wrangling, anyway." This last part she'd whispered in a conspiratorial tone.
Swirl straightened up and puffed some stray candy pink hair out of her eye. "What was that about Razz?" Swirl fidgeted with her hair some more as she thought things over.Kail and Razz? Swirl mused to herself Early honeymoon or another crisis requiring the champions? Should I alert the Sisters? Well, I suppose if it's a big crisis they'll already know about it, somehow. Though would they intervene, or try to keep Treat and I far away from any danger? Maybe it's not a crisis...

Baby Sea Spray watched as Karma left. She turned to the other baby ponies. "Why did that pony go into another room for?" She asked, curiously.

"What? Which pony?" Raposa raised her head from building a front drawbridge and looked around comically, then turned to Loo, "Which pony left? What's Seaspray talking about? Do you know?" She fired off the questions as fast as her tounge would allow. She stared wide-eyed at her fellow foals , staring at each one expectantly in turn. But suddenly aware of how goofy she looked, Raposa quickly averted her gaze. "Heh, sorry 'bout that. It's kinda hard being new around these parts." She glacced at each foal apolegetically, but her curiosity still shined brightly beneath her embarrassment.

The tealish baby pony giggled at Raposa, then she quickly stopped, and nodded in agreement. She then continued to build the towers of her castle.
