The drinks were acceptable and the accommodations adequate. Though I doubt I am not the first to express distaste for the situation itself, there is not much to be done at this time other than to do what we were brought to do.

So.
Children will be involved, more or less.

I have only one recommendation: do not impose a lesson you yourself deemed unnecessary as a child.
Something to bear in mind.

And what of lessons you thought you didn't need as a child but actually did? I can think of a few of those.

[He pauses. The tattoos are curious, as are the pointed ears, but neither of which he has any right to call out. Curiosity doesn't need to be immediately sated.]

Several.
For instance, do not teach them to cheat at Go. They will be caught, eventually.

[ hmm, observing the other conversation between Hanzo and Maellan as well as the context and username-- ]

Samurai? Ninja? [ he has no idea from when or what variation but it's impossible not to notice this guy handles himself different than... well, every other recruit he's observed so far. It's still a familiar way of handling to Masamune, though—or as least as much one can get out of text. ]

[whatshimadayou]

The age of samurai ended many years ago.
I was trained in many fighting techniques if that is what you wanted to know.

[But he isn't denying the ninja part. Technically no, but also technically yes.]

Oh... That's a great lesson, thank you! [ she's so glad for this mission, to be honest... after chantes and nalawi, it's just nice to have something pleasant to look forward to.

plus! it's just so nice to see how everyone is rising up to the challenge. ]

I don't think I've seen your name before... Are you new?

You are welcome.

I arrived not long ago. You are correct.
Have you been here long?

yeah thas right

[OH IT'S YOU]

Not all lessons from those who raised us are to be ignored, but not every lesson should be considered necessary.
Perhaps someone should help you ensure you are making the best choice for the little one you'll be assigned with.

There is a lot to consider when one takes over the protection and care of a child, it seems.

[Far more than he'd initially expected. Suddenly, his respect for Shingen has increased tenfold, and it was already pretty high.]

[whatshimadayou]

Children are impressionable, the the truest definition of innocence. Every action you take on their behalf could have consequence for how they develop.
It is no simple thing to care for one.

[sadsack]

uh what if i dont remember anything about being a child. let alone whatever lessons i may or may not have learned

any suggestions on what the children SHOULD be taught? i can teach it to not eat dirt but thats about it

[whatshimadayou]

Consider, then: what would you teach yourself if you met a more inexperienced version of yourself?
If you cannot remember your childhood, perhaps that advice will help.

so on a scale of 1 to 10 how willing are you to babysit

How often and why?

[oh...]

Are you a father?

[whatshimadayou]

No.





But I had often looked after others.

[sengetsu]

Some lessons we deem unnecessary as children turn out to be useful as we grow older. But worth considering, yes.

[whatshimadayou]

At times true.
I suppose I am thinking more along the lines of what did not turn out to benefit us as we grew. What festered and made us worse.

I don't know much about being a

Parent? That's the word, isn't it?

I don't know much about raising young, but I don't imagine anyone would intentionally teach something they thought didn't benefit them in the long run. Do you have a different experience?

[whatshimadayou]

Caretaker, guardian, parent; take your pick.

I did not say it was intentional. Just to be aware of one's own actions and what it may do to a young mind.

[ An amused huff. ] My childhood was quite long ago, and filled from what I remember to be very necessary lessons.

A good piece of advice regardless. I do not intend to fail.

[whatshimadayou]

You do not appear to be that old. Was it so long ago?

I will take note of your confidence.

[soru]

We'll want to take care in this case. Some people are bound to have a skewed idea of 'unneccesary'.

[whatshimadayou]

Fair enough.
Perhaps we should keep an eye on some people.

There are more important things than bacon.

Ah, so I shouldn't kick these things in the face when they cry?

Would you kick a human infant?

[weatherscience]

Unnecessary lessons, is it... that is good advice. Some people here are going to need more of those, to have any chance of succeeding.

[whatshimadayou]

[He takes note of the display name. After all, Luffy is a captain, and he knows about his navigator a little.

It would be a curious coincidence, in any case.]

If some would pay heed, then perhaps the mission will not be completely hopeless.

i was told you would not mind a late tag; un: hawkeye

[strictdiscipline]

Children have always been involved.

[In fewer numbers, admittedly, but there are children here, many of whom she finds herself very fond of. That said:]

You seem to have particular lessons in mind, if you were prompted to provide that piece of advice.

i never do!

[whatshimadayou]

So I have started to notice.

Call it strictly from experience.
