1. You are a kid! Maybe you are a toddler in nursery or already in pre-school, or anywhere in between, but you are a kid who comes here more or less regularly, interacts with other kids and the teachers and the nurse and is dropped off in the morning and picked up sometime later during the day.
2. You are an adult! Maybe you are a teacher, or doing an internship, or you are a parent or older sibling picking up their kid, or the nurse or whatever an adult would do in such a place...
...of course you can change which one your muse is depending on whom they thread with.

And as for scenarios - you can of course do whatever you want, but a few ideas:
I. The first day in kindregarten. Being left behind by mommy or daddy, encountering new friends, so many things to discover...
II. Nap time! Maybe you just need to tell your friend this story before falling asleep. Or your teddy has gotten lost. And as for adults, oftentimes the parents will be present for the first few days of nursery to ease their child into things. Don't glare too many daggers at that other parents who is easing their child into the situation at the same time, you might make a child cry... Cuddling with their child is a much nicer option, yes?
III. Playground! Maybe you build a sandcastle together, or maybe you kick each others sandcastle down, who knows? Or maybe you are in the crafts room, or in the dolls corner, or you are having a class...
IV. Uh oh. Something isn't going too smoothly, and you have to mend things with another child or explain yourself to a teacher or maybe discuss a case with another staff member, or even call in the parents...
V. Field trip! Or maybe it is some holiday, or a birthday/conception day is happening in your group, or or or...

You can't get me over there! You're not strong enough!

[thebalrogslayer]

[Calling his bluff is cheating!]

I'll put you on the seesaw and slingshot you in! [Redoubling his attempts to tickle instead.]

[kurdith]

Uncle Thorin'll get ma--aah!

[No not tickling! Kíli starts convulsing, trying to get away]

[thebalrogslayer]

Mr Thorin doesn't scare me! [Lies, all lies.

Glorfindel uses his bigger size to his advantage, pinning him down while clever hands look for weak spots.]

[kurdith]

No no no no lemme go! Lemme go!

[Now he's screeching and laughing and kicking and he might get a rib or something. Sorry?]

[thebalrogslayer]

[He can take it!!]

But I thought you were going to -- ow! [Okay, no, that kick hurt. Glorfindel falls back a little, eyes big. He's a big boy, he's not going to cry!]

[kurdith]

Glorfindel?

[Kíli sits up, concerned]

Did I kick you? Are you okay? I didn't mean to!

[thebalrogslayer]

Haha! Got you! [While Kili's guard is down, Glorfindel pounces again, tickling along his sides. His grin is still a little forced, though. He had to think on his toes to make sure that Kili didn't feel bad or worry about him!]

[kurdith]

Oooh!

[He laughs and tries not to kick him this time, just tickling back]

[thebalrogslayer]

[Laughing, Glorfindel tries to pin the dwarf down, but he's too small. It turns into something of a wresting match, small and strong against bigger and more flexible. At least he very quickly forgets the pain of the kick and they are slowly but surely rolling closer to the paddling pool...]
