~ Arda nursery, kindergarten and pre-school ~


[source]

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...

Celebrían

((Either as teacher/mom...

Or adorable little girl with long silver braids and bright grey eyes wanting to get into everything))

BITTY

[sylvanguard]

[Oh another girl to play with! Tauriel bounds over, forgetting things like personal space and waves enthusiastically.] Hi m' Tauriel

We're just gonna pretend she has bitty icons/a bitty account

[westboundwounded]

Hi! I'm Celebrían! Want to play?

Tauriel has one bitty icon

[sylvanguard]

SURE! Lets play? Whatcha wanna play? [The girl looked like she might be into dolls and Tauriel wasn't but hey she was so desperate to play with another girl.]

[westboundwounded]

[She thinks for a minute, trying to size up the other girl. She didn't look like the dolls-and-tea-parties sort. Which was fine with Celebrían.]

D'you wanna play Explorers?

[sylvanguard]

[Tauriel smiled brightly and nodded] I'd love to. And maybe we can climb some trees and hop across rocks as we do it cos' cos that's that explorers do, right?

[westboundwounded]

[Celebrían laughs]

Of course! I love to climb trees. Do you?

[sylvanguard]

Mmm! Very much Trees are my favoritest thing to climb! I know where some really good ones are with twisty branches!
[Tauriel motions Celebrian to follow her.] This way!

[westboundwounded]

[Celebrían giggles and follows her, watching those red locks streaming behind her new friend.]

You have pretty hair. I haven't seen that color before.

[sylvanguard]

Really? It's pretty common in Mirkwood. Though most have more uhm brown instead of red hair. I guess I'm lucky. Your hair its pretty too all shiney and stuff.

[Glorfindel smiles at Celebrían when she returns, but puts a finger to his lip to indicate quiet, before nodding towards three figures on the sleeping mats, tucked up under a blanket. Getting Arwen to sleep wasn't too difficult, but the twins (as always) were more of a handful, and he's only just managed to get them to drift off. Even the balrog slayer is looking a little tired after that feat!]

[westboundwounded]

Well done, Glorfindel. Did you get them to lie down, or did they just drop there from exhaustion?

[thebalrogslayer]

Would you believe me if I said that I convinced them to sleep? [He's grinning; it's half true. He wore them down and then tricked them into lying down.]

[westboundwounded]

If so, I'd say you've reached a new level of charm, mellon nín. Though the children are quite fond of you.

[elflings]

Naaana!

[Two unhappy elflings =( ]

Elladan hit me!
I did not!

[westboundwounded]

All right, all right. Slow down. Now, what happened, exactly?

[elflings]

[Elrohir pouts, leaning away from his twin.]

He hit me when we were playing! Right on my ear!

[Elladan scowls back at his brother.]

I did not mean to! You stood up just as I tried to throw the ball!

[That makes the other elfling pout even more.]

But you laughed at me!

[westboundwounded]

Easy, boys. I'm sure it was an accident. But, Elladan, it's not nice to laugh when people get hurt. Especially not your brother. Elrohir, an Elflord does not tattle to his mother when he receives a minor slight. You are young yet, but one day you will grow into fine men like your father and grandfather. Now, apologize to your brother. Both of you.

[elflings]

[The boys look at each other and then up to their mother.]

Yes, naneth.
Yes, nana...

[They could never stay mad at each other for too long, so the twins finally smile a little and hold hands.]

I'm sorry, Elladan...
I'm sorry, too!
