“That’s good. So now we know one food Aurora likes!” Castile said. He saw that the hungry girl had devoured her entire serving of dinner. Considering how underfed she was at her previous foster carer’s and the fact that so much had happened on her first day at her new home, no wonder she worked up an appetite. Castile was happy with her efforts, deeming she had eaten enough ‘healthy’ nutrients to earn a sweet reward. He saw her take Samuel’s hand and smiled, proud of her for being a good friend to the lonely and timid boy. Noticing the smears of sauce all over Aurora, the cat taur chuckled and decided to use a little magic to quickly clean her up. “Looks like sauce and crumbs got everywhere, though. We better clean you up before you have dessert. I’ll use some of my bubble magic. Ready?” he told her, bringing his hands up and making a series of gestures while muttering some magic words. His nail polish glittered as he cast the spell before a rush of foamy bubbles mixed with water poured out of his palms and moved through the air towards Aurora, surrounding the four year old and her high chair, tickling and making little popping sounds while they moved around. The spell gathered all the particles of sauce, meatball and noodle before pulling away from Aurora and her chair, leaving them spotless. Castile directed the mass of reddish coloured suds over to one of the sinks, where it washed itself down the drain, disappearing with a gurgle and some pops. “Ta da! You’re all done. That was so easy!” Castile exclaimed, gratified by the convenience of his magic. Aurora would have felt soapy wetness around her before but now she was clean and completely dry. “And because you ate all your dinner, you earned a sweet dessert. Now, what do you want, my sweet little cupcake? You are so nice and clean, we should let you make another mess” he laughed softly. “Do you want…ice cream, cake, custard, jelly, pastries, doughnuts? You can have anything they make” he said, waving an arm at the menu boards.

((I'm so sorry for how long it took me to post here. I had writers block AGAIN. I am trying to keep on top of my 7 rps but sometimes it can take a while to get something out. Thanks so much for your patience!)) Lollia felt her lap grow warmer when Drew was wetting his diaper but hardly paid any attention to it. She quietly checked the padding to assess the state of the diaper though, giving the crotch a light squeeze or two. The one year old boy was nodding off in her lap, probably helped by the warm bottle and comforting touches. Oh well, he’d have to get to know the rest of the house slowly, in his own time. She couldn’t expect a baby that young to memorise its layout during the tour anyway. Lollia would cradle him in her arms once he slept, since they hadn’t picked a room for him yet. The pastel alien’s yellow eyes shifted towards Akiza, the woman smiling at the words she addressed to the bundle on her lap. “I’m sure Andrew would love a nice story book together, when he isn’t so sleepy. That sounds like a great idea, Ms Hoshi!” she replied, approving of Akiza’s ideas. “I’ll let you take over once he wakes up from his N. A. P. …Right now it’s looking like he’s going to visit the land of Nod for a spell” she told the other woman with a grin, indicating how Drew was falling asleep in her arms. Having finished the last bite and sip of her breakfast, Lollia stood and used telekinesis to clear all the tables and high chairs, rinsing things in the sink and loading them into the dishwasher before a wet cloth began wiping the tables. She cradled Drew comfortably in her grasp, letting him easily drift off against her pillowy chest as needed. She smiled gladly when she saw Xeto head over to take care of Sophie, pleased he was taking steps to interact with the bunny girl. “Alright, when everyone’s ready, we’ll begin the tour of the house” she announced. ================= Sophie had finished her meal. She grabbed her white rabbit plushie under one arm and jolted in place when she noticed Mr Xeto stepping towards her, both excited and a little startled. Her ears stood straight on end, quivering as her pinkish red eyes watched him get close to her. When he started cleaning her of the crumbs on her face and hands, she blushed pink and giggled nervously, the damp cloth feeling strange and ticklish. “Ehehe, f…fank oo, Misha Zee” she meeped out, her soft, sweet voice tickling his ears. Sophie blinked up at him, one of her ears bending in half as she tilted her head curiously to what he said. “I twied my bestest, Misha Xeto. I’m sowwy. I didn’ mean to make a mess” she apologised timidly, “The cwumbs just falled all by demselves. I couldn’t catch dem in time. Ah…fank oo fow helping me. Hee hee, dat feels funny!” Once he was done, she looked up at his silvery eyes, cuddling her bunny close. “Do you wanna see my woom? When Miss Lolly shows us the house? I fink she’s gonna stawt now. It’s pwetty big!” she told him with wide eyes. “Weally, WEALLY big! You can get losted easy” she said as she waited for him to unlock the highchair tray and take her out, remembering how many times she got lost when she first got here. ================== Frost grinned happily as she accepted the bite of savoury waffle, getting some butter and stretchy, melty cheese on her face. He continued to feed her bite after bite, until she was full up. “Don’t be embarrassed, Sweetie. I enjoy feeding you. This is my job” he comforted her, not minding in the least about having to help. “That’s why I’m here. I love taking care of people and helping people. So don’t be afraid to ask” he said brightly. “Anyway, look at that; you finished all your waffles and all your hot chocolate. Good job, kiddo!” he told Rei, chuckling at the mess of crumbs, butter, cheese, vegetables and assorted other bits and pieces on her and the highchair. Frost summoned a damp cloth from the kitchen area and used it to gently wipe her clean, sending it to the laundry hamper once he was done. The arctic fox unlatched the highchair tray and picked Rei back up into his arms, setting her down on his lap, facing forwards, so she could see when he was wheeling them around. “It doesn’t matter if you make a mess while eating. So long as you like the food and can get it into your mouth, that’s all that matters” he told her with another chuckle, “So, are you ready to be shown your new home? It’s big but it has lots of really cool rooms that I’m sure you will like” he explained, wheeling the chair over beside Mama Lolly and waiting for Akiza and Xeto to join them with Sophie. “Right! Let’s get going. Time waits for nobody! On we march” he cheered, in a peppy mood. =================== Waiting till everyone was ready, Lollia began to lead the party around the first floor of the home, showing them all the rooms and where everything was. She started at the most fun side of the house, going down the hallway and showing them the laundry just beside the kitchen and dining. “This is where all the bedding and clothes get washed and dried. We have washing lines across the ceiling for rainy and snowy days” she told the group. “Next up, we have the door to the back yard. I will show you that later. And along a bit, we come to the music room. Here the kids can play and dance to music, with dress up costumes and flags and streamers to wave, maracas to shake and so on. There are also instruments they can learn how to play” She continued the tour, showing them the games room, gym and arts and crafts room before she continued on to the play room, change room and bathroom, followed by the waiting area, then straight down the long hall to the big change room, the big bathroom and the chapel, following along to the twin classrooms with their attached changing rooms. She then pointed out the closets and basement stairs, her office, then the conservatory and living room, the attached home cinema and finally, leading everyone to look inside the library and infirmary. “That was it for the ground floor. This is where all the fun entertainment rooms are. Any questions before we go upstairs to see the bedrooms and nurseries?” she asked, looking around the kids and adults, Andrew snugly in her soft arms. "Isn't this place just fabulous? There's so much to see and do here! We'll make sure the kids never get bored"

((Do you guys want me to make Tanya the night shift carer, so Lily and Castile go back to their apartments overnight? Or prefer them to stay on night watch as well? Also, feel free to brainstorm ideas for plots and experiences with me. My Discord is RainbowPixieCat#7705 if you wanna talk OOC chat with me there. So we don't clog the rp)) Castile continued to feed Aurora, making noisy trains to take the food from her plate to her mouth. He took bites of his own meal in between feeding her, seeing the meals on the plates get smaller and smaller until his portion was gone. His stomach happily digested the meal, warm and full, making him feel content and happy. Castile politely covered a small burp. "Excuse me" Once they were done, he assessed the damage, looking to see how much Aurora managed to eat and how much sauce had gotten on her. “Was that good, Honey?” he asked her cheerfully. “Tomorrow night, we’ll pick something new to try,” he promised with a smile. “There are so many yummy foods to discover. And I think that tomorrow, we will also meet Mr Goodie and go to the aquarium. And I don't know what else yet. But the aquarium will take most of the day. There will be lots of fishies. Just like in your new toy!” ========== Lily felt bad for the boy. Choking was not a fun experience. She continued to rub his back as he drank from his bottle to calm his airway down and soothe the coughing. She worried that he wasn’t going to eat from now on but was glad when he accepted the new bite with the much tinier meatball pieces. “There, see? Isn’t that better? No more choking. You’ll be okay” she told him with a consoling manner. “I will make sure to always check your food so that doesn’t happen again. The kitchen was a bit generous with the meatball sizes. Maybe they forgot to put the kids ones and added the adult ones instead. Silly kitchen! Even adults make mistakes sometimes. Anyway, good job. Eat it up, Sweetie!” she said with an encouraging grin, taking bites of her own meal between feeding Sammy. “Ready? Here comes a bite. Chugga chugga chugga chugga…choo choo…MMmmm!” she cooed, moving the fork around like a train and making sounds to make it sound yummier. Once he was full, she inspected his plate to see if it was empty or if there was any left, watching him reach a hand out to Aurora. How cute. Looks like he was trying to be friends. It made her smile. “Hmm…how did you do? Let’s see if you qualify for dessert” she told Samuel, weighing up the info to try to make a decision. If he had eaten plenty of the healthy meal, she’d consider letting him have the sugary sweet stuff. But she wasn’t going to let him just fill up on junk if he hadn’t had enough nutrition first. She heard Castile mention tomorrow’s plans and perked up. “Wow, the aquarium! That sounds cool! And I think Mr Goodie sounds like…a GOOD guy!” she joked. “I hear he has special presents for new kids”

Castile snickered at the look on Aurora’s face when he mentioned dessert. That idea seemed to go over well. It would just depend if she had any room left in her tummy. Though people did say that you had a savoury stomach and a sweet stomach. You could always make room for sugar after savoury stuff. At least, HE always could! Castile had quite the sweet tooth and was looking forward to eating that cat paw pastry he was given earlier in the day. He planned to consume it tonight while the kids were sleeping. He wasn’t sure if they were supposed to keep caring for them overnight. Or to go back to his apartment. He knew there were night nurses and that Tanya usually did the night shifts. So maybe that was the case. Oh well, he was sure they’d find out. Castile saw Aurora stop eating and turn her head to watch Lily feeding Samuel. “Aurora. Do you want choo choos too? Here, Sweetie…” the cat picked up her tiny fork and swirled a mouthful of food onto it, the right size for her gob. He began to make it chug like a train, with soft jerking movements through the air, “Here comes the spaghetti bolognese train. Chugga chugga chugga chugga…choo choo!” he grinned, plopping the food into her mouth at the end. “Cargo delivered! Ahehe!” Castile then fed himself a mouthful off his own plate. Double duty, he could do this! ================ Lily smiled as Samuel obediently accepted the forkful of spag bol she was feeding him “Good boyyyy~” she praised with deep affection, glad that he was eating something nourishing. She grinned brightly when he surprised her by clapping at the train noises “Oh, you like that, do you? Well get ready, here comes another freight train. Chugga chugga…chugga chugga…whoo whooo!” she said, having fun feeding him in such a silly and playful manner. However, when he took the second bite, she noticed him cough after a second, quickly putting the fork down and moving to pat his back, helping clear his airway. “Oop, down the wrong hole. It’s okay, it’s okay…cough it back up” she said, sharply patting between his shoulder blades to force the bite back out into his mouth. “There, there…it’s okay. It must have been the meatball. I’ll cut them up into quarters” she told him soothingly, sitting back down and picking up the fork and knife, deftly finding and cutting all the meatballs in the heap of spaghetti strands. “Here Honey, have a drink” she said, giving him the drink to sip at. After a while she spoke again, putting the fork and knife down. “Okay. These are small now. It’s safe to eat. Here we go” she said softly, twirling another forkful of food onto his fork, this time with a tiny bit of the cut meatball. “Let’s do a whale this time. Ooooo…whooooo….ooooooo….puff! Here comes the whale, swimming through the sea. He has a bite of spaghetti for delivery~” she sang, making soft whale noises, receiving stares and snickers from the staff working in the kitchen nearby. Oh well, let them stare. She didn’t mind. She was entertaining them and Sammy. It was a one woman show.

((I’m so sorry for the long wait on a reply, everyone! I had some writer's block and was struggling to keep on top of all my rps for a while. Sometimes I can be a bit slow, but I always post eventually. Thank you for your patience!)) --- Lollia continued to eat her breakfast, finding the atmosphere in the kitchen quite cosy among their small group. She looked pleased as punch hearing that Akiza was alright with caring for Drew. “That’s splendid, Dear. If you ever need any help, do let me know. I’m here not just for the children but also my carers. Their happiness is just as important to me” she said, taking more polite bites of her waffle and sipping her drink. “There is something I need to mention to you all. During our tour upstairs, you and the new children will be able to pick your own rooms. Me, Frost and Sophie already have ours. Sophie has room 1, Frost is in room 10 and I’m in room 11,” she explained. “Every other room is empty, so there’s lots to choose from” Lollia had noticed how jumpy and sensitive Drew was. She had cried out in the softest and gentlest manner when he pulled her star earring, yet it still seemed to set him off badly, making the poor baby tremble. Thankfully, the colourful jar of sprinkles did the trick, taking his mind off what happened. The sounds of the sprinkles tinkling in the jar was somewhat musical as the boy sat on her lap and shook it. Lollia blinked and looked down at the boy, catching his reaction to Ms Hoshi being mentioned as his new caregiver. ‘Oho! Did he understand that? My, my, this little one comprehends far more than he can say’ she thought silently. Lollia saw him turn away from the bite she offered, so she calmly put it down and resumed rubbing the boy’s tummy in soothing motions, rocking him slightly. “Now, now, it will be okay, Darling. Ms Hoshi is very nice. She will take good care of you” she sang to the baby. “I will be around to make sure you two become good friends” She smiled as she continued to feed herself and care for the baby simultaneously, using her telekinesis to bring food and drink to her mouth while her human hands rocked and patted the child in her lap. She looked over at Xeto, responding to what he said. “That’s fine. Everyone starts somewhere. It’s okay to make mistakes. We don’t have school all the time and could really use your help in caretaking when you are not teaching. But Sophie is a breeze to care for. She’s very easy, apart from being shy in the beginning” she assured him. “In fact, I think she has taken a liking to you already” she chuckled, glancing over at the girl who was staring at him while she ate, getting crumbs around her mouth. “Anyway, we can discuss it more as we walk around the house” ================== Frost thought Rei looked incredibly cute in her new outfit with purple as well as white patches with rainbow polka dots. The fox ears on the hat made her especially so. He patiently waited while she got comfy in her seat. He was very happy about her reaction to wearing and using diapers, glad that she didn’t put up a fuss and simply accepted them. That should make her life much easier here. Frost’s tail wagged gently when she asked for help “Okay, Princess” He smiled and picked up the kiddy fork and knife with plastic handles that had cute cartoons on them. Frost reached over her highchair tray and began to neatly and quickly cut up her waffles into bite sized pieces, then stabbed a square on the fork and brought it to her mouth “Ahhh!” he said, opening his mouth as he made the noise to let her know to open up “Here comes the yummies” he cooed, smiling happily as he put the food in her mouth and let her crunch on the freshly made waffle. …“Good?” he asked her after a moment of chewing. “After breakfast, me, Ms Hoshi, Mr Xeto and Mama Lolly will show you kids around your new house. It’s pretty big. And it has lots of cool stuff. Your rooms will be upstairs. That’s where all the bedrooms are. And you can look at all of them and pick one just for you. Then you can ask us to decorate it however you want” he told Rei cheerfully. “But you can’t pick room 1, 10 or 11 because those are already taken” ================== Sophie was outright staring at Xeto while the adults chatted to each other, since they weren’t paying attention to her or looking in her direction. She crunched through the last half of her second waffle, crumbs sprinkled around her mouth and on her bib, as well as the highchair tray and her hands. When her rabbit ears caught Mama Lolly saying her name, she blushed and meeped softly again, ducking her head down quickly. She knew it was rude to stare but she couldn’t help it. Mr Xeto was fascinating. Sophie felt a bit proud about what Lollia said. She was easy to care for? That meant she was a good girl. That made her happy. Well, it’s not like she ever purposely tried to be bad. She was really careful to be a very good girl so that people living with her wouldn’t get scared or upset and send her away, like the other foster families did. She made sure to use her magic everyday too, so the wild magic didn’t build up and spill out in random ways. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she squirmed in place, trying to make herself look invisible and go unnoticed. She hoped Mr Xeto didn’t notice her gawping at him. She wasn’t trying to be rude. He wasn’t a circus freak or zoo animal. Mama Lolly was right though, she almost liked him already. She had a good feeling about the teacher, and expectations based on how Lollia acted and treated her. She had been staring at him with questions going through her mind, wondering what he was like. She had so many things she wanted to ask but was too shy to speak up. Sophie grabbed for her bottle and began drinking the last of the warm cocoa, calming her nerves with the familiar comfort object. She made cute little noises as she nursed, both hands holding the bottle up at an angle to get the liquid in the bottom half. She could feel the warmth in her tummy and knew that she would have a wet, warm diaper later as well. It was always such a good feeling in winter.

Once everyone had their food, Castile sat at the long table beside Aurora and Samuel’s highchairs. He was to Aurora’s right, while Samuel was to her left and Miss Lily to his left. He waved back to Aurora before handing over her bottle, seeing her eagerly take it in both hands. She nodded in approval of her meal and he hoped dinner would go smoothly with no fights. He wanted the kids to have something nourishing in their little tummies. Who knows how they were fed before coming here? He waited for her to decide what to do, seeing her look at the food with a thoughtful expression and waiting patiently. He chuckled when she decided to eat with her hands and completely ignore her knife and fork, finding the sight of her messy self feeding amusing and adorable. Castile tucked a white napkin into his uniform collar then picked up his own fork and neatly twirled some noodles and a meatball onto it, chomping it in one big bite, quietly slurping up a stray noodle. He chewed appreciatively and then swallowed and licked his lips like a cat, seeing Aurora’s reaction to her own meal. “Ahehe, good, good! I’m glad you like it, Princess~” he told her, smiling fondly at the messy toddler. “Good job, honey. It doesn’t matter how you eat it, just that you enjoy it. So long as it’s getting into your tummy, don’t worry about making a mess. Have as much as you want!” he told her happily. “And if you’re still hungry afterwards, there might be dessert” he promised with a wink and a flick of his tail. He looked over to see how Lily and Samuel were going. ================= Lily relaxed once Samuel stopped fussing, calmed by Aurora and her own kind gestures. She was thankful for the little girl’s input, glad to see that she not only cared about the other child but wanted to help him too. She hoped Samuel and Aurora would become closer friends over the coming weeks. The aquarium trip tomorrow would hopefully provide bonding opportunities and the chance to make some fun and meaningful memories together. But for now - it was dinner time. Lily watched the little boy look down at his plate of food, trying to decide how to go about eating. She wasn’t too surprised that he decided to copy Aurora. Kids often copied other children and it was cute the way he looked to her for guidance. Lily giggled softly, not minding him making a mess but noticing that he wasn’t as good as getting enough into his mouth like Aurora was. She picked up his cartoon fork and did a fancy scoop and twirl manouvre, winding a cheesy, tomato sauce drenched clump of noodles and a meatball onto the utensil. “Oh, Sammy, good try feeding yourself but you’re not getting much in your mouth. Here, Sweetie, Miss Lilly will help you so we aren't here all night. Say Ahhhh” she cooed, bringing the wad of food towards his mouth and gently placing it inside once he opened up. She let him take it off the fork, slowly moving the fork back out from closed lips as sauce blossomed from them. “There, isn’t that better? You get a proper bite. Chew it properly, Honey. We don’t want you choking. Yummy, yummy! Isn’t that so tasty?” she said, her voice warm and encouraging. While he was chewing, she picked up her own fork and knife, scooping and twirling a larger amount onto hers before neatly eating it off her fork and licking sauce off her lips. “Mm, mm!” she made happy noises while she ate, making it clear she was enjoying the food. Lily swallowed and checked Sammy, picking his fork up again and getting another portion ready for him, just the right size for his small mouth. “Here comes the choo choo train…whoo, whoo!” she said softly, moving the fork like a chugging train towards his mouth.

((The waffles are savoury ones with egg, vegetables, grated cheese etc. There are a couple of different savoury flavours. Since Sophie is a vegetarian, she chose those for breakfast as a healthy alternative to the usual sugar laden kind)) “Ouch! Oh no, Honey, that hurts! No, no. We don’t pull Mama’s earrings” Lollia yipped softly and spoke calmly and gently when Drew managed to grab her earring. She used her telekinesis to gently pry his fingers off and then brought over a half full plastic container of large, rainbow sprinkles, shaking it in front of him to get his attention, then placing the colourful makeshift rattle in his hand to shake like a rattle. “Here we go, that’s much better!” she cooed. “You play with this one” Once Andrew was occupied, Lollia prepared a cup of tea for Akiza, adding one sugar and a dollop of fresh cream then stirring it delicately with a teaspoon held in the tip of a tentacle. She smiled and placed it down in front of the woman gently. “Here you go, Dear. Oh, thank you. I’ll gladly have your assistance once we have eaten and after I have shown you and Xeto the house. I am thinking I’ll assign baby Andrew to you, Ms Hoshi. And baby Sophie to Xeto. And for baby Rei, she will go with Frosty” she said sweetly. “Three adults and three children works out quite nicely. Oh, not counting myself, ho ho!” she chuckled. “I suppose I matter as well!” The alien woman said jokingly. This place wouldn't even exist without her. She had also been making a nice cappuccino for Xeto, even making a fern pattern with the fluff and chocolate powder on top. She placed the big mug of high quality coffee in front of him. “You are most welcome, Dear. Here you go. Enjoy~” she smiled. "Now, I'm going to give you a double role here but we will talk about that after breakfast" she told him. Andrew was full of formula at the moment but she used telekinesis to cut up some of the waffles into tiny, toddler sized bites and put them on a plastic cartoon plate, knowing children 6 months and older could eat solid foods. She came to sit next to Akiza, her tentacle pulling a chair out for her while she sat down and cradled the baby in her lap. Lollia cuddled Drew, rubbing his belly with one hand in little circles to keep him from fussing. She used telekinesis to bring a bite of savoury waffle to her mouth and chewed happily. The toddler plate floated over to them and set itself down. Lollia speared a tiny bite on a toddler fork and brought it in front of Andrew with her hand, “Want some waffle, Drew Drew?” she asked him softly. ==================== Seeing everyone else begin eating their breakfast and not paying attention to her, Sophie tucked her bunny plush beside her in the highchair and used her little hands to pick up the warm waffle on her cartoon plate, taking some big bites and chewing happily. She hummed while she ate, swinging her legs to and fro at the delicious taste. “So yummy!” she whispered, nibbling at the waffle contentedly. “Evweybody wikes waffles, tee hee!” She looked at the other alien in the room, who chose to sit at the counter and not at one of the long tables. Sophie liked his antennas. She wondered if his could light up like Mama Lolly’s did. The rabbit twitched her nose cutely as she watched him from her high seat, peeking over her waffle. She felt like she would be the most comfortable with the teacher and caregiver, because he was the most like Mama Lolly and she already felt comfortable with her. In her tiny bit of experience, she had learned that aliens were nice people. Because she hadn’t met any mean ones. “Xeto” she mumbled, eating some more waffle as she tried out his name “Mishta Xeto has shiny eyes” she said, not knowing the colour was silver. She wondered what the funny markings on his blue-green skin were. Did he take a marker and draw on himself? Maybe she could draw on herself too! Mama Lolly had a butterfly on her face. Xeto had squiggly patterns. What could she draw on herself? ==================== Frost smiled at the sneeze, finding it cute. He also found it sweet when she said thank you. She had lovely manners. “No problem, you’re welcome” he told Rei. They reached the kitchen and he let her look around and make a choice of where she wanted to sit. “Okie dokie. High chair it is. Here’s a nice one near Mama Lolly and Ms Hoshi. It has butterflies on it” he said, wheeling over to it and gently lifting Rei with his winter magic, placing her in the padded seat and buckling her in then snapping the highchair tray into place, all using glittering magic to do so. The magic trickled back into him and he gave a signal to Lollia, who used telekinesis to float over a toddler plate of savoury waffles and a baby bottle full of warm cocoa. They gently set themselves down on Rei’s highchair tray as a bib tied itself around Rei’s neck. It had a picture of a smiley flower on it. Frost parked his wheelchair at the table next to her, making himself a cushion with ice magic so he could reach the table and the highchair tray. He saw there was already a plate and a mug of cocoa waiting for him. When Rei asked about the potty, he nodded “That’s right, Rei. No more big girl potty for you and no more accidents. While you live here, you only need diapers. Sophie and Drew are wearing diapers too. All the kids here wear them! It’s easier than trying to go potty, don’t you think?” he asked with a grin, his tail wagging. “Because of Mama Lolly’s magic, your body will go potty in your diapers from now on. So you don’t have to worry. Now…we are all having breakfast. Do you want some help to eat your waffles, or would you like to eat with your hands like Sophie over there?” he asked Rei, pointing at the bunny girl who was sitting on the other side of the adults and happily chowing down on her second waffle already.

“Okay. I’ll be right back with your moo moo then” he told her, patting her hair gently. Castle walked up to the counter to ask for the milk in a baby bottle. He came back over and placed it on Aurora’s tray. Not long after, one of the kitchen workers came over and placed a plastic kiddy plate with spaghetti bolognese on the highchair tray. It had melty cheese, meatballs, red sauce and lots of squiggly noodles. There was a plastic fork and knife with cartoons on the handles. “Wow, Aurora, doesn’t that look yummy? Do you want to feed yourself or would you like a bit of help?” Castile asked her with a smile. The server went to place another plate on Samuel’s tray, then placed down two bigger plates for the two adults, along with some table water. ================= She watched him shuffle in the chair and fight with the bib. “No no, Sammy, keep the bib on. You don’t want your new whale onesie to get dirty, do you? The bib will protect your clothes” she explained kindly. “Now, no whining, little one. Dinner is here. Let’s eat up all the yummy noodles and sauce!” she enthused. Hearing his stomach growl, she giggled. “Your tummy is saying it’s hungry. It wants to eat. Look, your cutlery has cartoons on them. Isn’t that fun?” she asked, pointing out the plastic knife and fork. “Do you want to try to feed yourself? Do you want to give it a go? If not, I’ll be happy to feed you, or just lend some help” she offered him, “Look, Castile and I ordered the same as you. We are all having spaghetti bolognese” she grinned. “Yummy yummy!”

She smiled at Akiza’s response. “You might be right about that. We’ll have to wait and see how it goes. But I certainly encourage everyone to get to know each other. After all, we are family now” she stated with glee. “Sophie will open up in her own time, for sure. We will help all the kids adjust. Just like anyone, they need time to learn how to trust and get to know people. She’s a sweet girl though, so it’s highly likely they’d become friends, as you say. Especially since our little bunny rabbit hasn’t had any other kids to play with till now. I imagine all the new people are just a bit much for her right now” she explained. Lollia used her tentacles to pull out a chair for Akiza to sit in, another taking the serving tongs and placing two waffles on her plate, moving the sauces and toppings within reach. “Do you prefer tea, coffee, juice or hot chocolate for a drink, M’Dear?” the alien asked, her tentacle hovering over the tray of drinks options. The way she handled everything, it would feel like they were having breakfast at a fancy hotel. While she was multitasking, she noticed Andrew had stopped drinking and put the half empty bottle in the fridge. She draped a cloth over her shoulder and laid his chin on top of it, gently patting his back to help him burp any swallowed air. She then wiped his mouth with the cloth and tossed it in the laundry hamper. Seeing that he was scared, she used her arms to cuddle him as he hid his face, while she began to sway gently, rubbing his back. “Shhhhhh, shhhhhhh, you’re okay, Sweetheart” she cooed. “Mama’s got you” Lollia then saw Xeto sit at the bar counter. Her stretchable tentacles set the counter in front of him with a plate and utensils then plated up two waffles of different flavours and brought over some of the toppings. “Here you go, Dear. Make yourself comfortable. And what would you like to drink? Tea, coffee, juice, hot chocolate? We have it all” ========================= Frost was glad that Rei was so cooperative. With her assistance, he had her undressed and cleaned up in minutes. He noticed her blushing and felt bad that she was embarrassed, even though she looked extremely adorable with a bright red face. Hopefully that would fade over time as she became more used to being cared for and got familiar with her new family members. “It’s okay, Sweetie. No need to be shy. I am like a big brother, or your uncle, or daddy. I am here to help and will never laugh at you” he said sincerely, in a calming tone. He smiled when she agreed that the room was pretty. “I’m glad you like it, Darling. It’s a nice, colourful place and I hope it’s gonna be a happy place to live” he replied. His furry ears fluttered softly as he listened to her while she tried to make a choice. Frost gave a gentle smile and nod. “Okay. I will pick for you. How about this Luvs diaper with the cute pandas? And…hmm…let’s see…” he looked around at the clothes, spotting a purple velour dress with polka dot pockets and matching leggings. “This should do nicely. The purple will match your lovely eyes” he told her. All the other clothes marched back into the closet and the diapers put themselves away, leaving just what he had chosen. He slipped the Luvs diaper under the girl and applied baby oil then shook on plenty of powder, lightly rubbing it in. He then pulled the garment closed and secured it nice and snug with the tapes, giving it a friendly pat. “There, now that’s done. And here comes the new, clean clothes” he said, helping to pull the soft dress over her head and thread her arms through the sleeves, then pulling the tights up her legs. He found a knitted purple beanie with a pair of fox ears on it and tugged it onto her head, making sure her hair was sitting comfy. Then he slipped some white socks with frilly edges on her feet and lastly pulled on some soft purple boots with bows on the top. Seeing her sucking her thumb, Frost summoned a matching pacifier on a lanyard and clipped it to her dress, removing her thumb with a small tug and placing the soft teat in her mouth instead. “Here here, your thumb might be dirty. Have this paci to suck on instead. And…Ta-da! You’re all dressed and ready to go!” he cheered, picking her up off the table and placing her on his lap. “Let’s roll!” he said with a grin as he literally rolled them back out of the change room and all the way back to the kitchen & dining area, wheel beads jingling all the way. “We’re ba-aack!~” he sung out, smiling at everyone with the little girl on his lap. “Where do you want to sit, Rei? You can sit in a highchair, a toddler chair, or in a booster at the big table” he offered. “Breakfast is waffles and hot cocoa” He realised he forgot something important and gasped, ears standing up. "Oh, Rei, I am so sorry. I forgot to explain why I put you in a diaper. It's beacause all the kids wear them here. That's just how it is. Mama Lolly has special magic that makes it that way. So everyone wears diapers here. Sophie is the same and Andrew has to as well. Everyone here is Mama Lolly's babies. So you always have to wear diapers"

“Okay. That’s a cool chair” Castile spotted the highchair she pointed out and grinned as he carried her over to it. He swung the plastic tray to one side and carefully sat her in the pouch seat, making sure her bum was against the backrest before buckling her in with the safety straps and clicking the tray back into place with a satisfying snap. Castile went and got a bib from the storage shelf, searching through them and coming back in a minute or so to tie it onto the girl. It had a plush kangaroo on it that was pastel colours and had a baby peeking out of its pouch, with coloured kangaroo paw marks around them. “Ta-da! I found a matching bib. This will protect your nice new onesie from sauce stains” he explained cheerfully. “You’ve got your blueberry cherry juice but would you like another drink to go along with your food?” he offered. =================== Lily saw that it was a blue highchair with cute images of T-rex dinosaurs and miniature castles on it. It was right next to Castile and Aurora. Maybe the kids could talk to each other while they ate. She took the boy over to the chair and did the same as Castile, placing his puffy bottom in the seat, buckling the safety strap and clicking the tray into place securely. “Okay, now we need a bib. Spaghetti can be messy” she told him, lightly patting his left hand, over the Mickey Mouse bandaid. She came back with a bib that had a T-Rex in the middle, dancing with some flowers flying around him. Lily attached it around his neck with the velcro and pulled over an adult sized chair, sitting down. “Food should be out in a few minutes. Do you want another drink to go with it?” She wasn’t sure if the kids would be too full after their meals but she would offer them dessert if they ate a decent amount.

Lollia was a very pretty woman, with her candied pastel colouring and soft clothes. She looked like a nice dolly, which probably helped Andrew not to freak out so much upon a 7 foot tall stranger holding him and talking to him. Kindness and love poured out of her along with a sweet calming perfume, making her a reassuring presence that was easy to listen to. He whined and fussed at having his nose cleaned but that was soon over. She expected that kind of reaction anyway. Now they were in the kitchen. She rubbed the toddler’s back as she sensed him trembling, either from cold, nerves, or both. “There, there, it’s okay. We’re going to have a nice time here” she cooed, smiling at the one year old. She watched him touch the milk bottle and expected him to take it, since most babies this age could hold their own bottles. But Andrew seemed to not have developed in that area yet. Lollia quickly figured out that he was used to having the bottle held for him. She shifted him into a semi lying down, angled position in her grasp and brought the bottle to his mouth with her right hand, gently nudging it into his mouth and tipping the bottle at the right angle so that the milk would flow, not too fast or too slow. “There, that’s much better, isn’t it?” she cooed to the infant, grinning as he closed his eyes and nursed in bliss, drinking steadily. “Yes, that’s what you wanted. Some nummies in your little tummy!” ====================== Frost saw all the books and tablets Xeto was carrying, watching him look around. “I’m Frost. Frost Snowpowder. Arctic fox furry” the Arctic fox replied with a friendly grin and a small half bow from his seated position. “You certainly came prepared, Mr teacher. I’m sure Lollia will tell you where the classrooms are once we reach her” he explained. He then looked at Akiza, “Likewise, My Dear. Oh, breakfast WILL be good. Lollia’s a good cook” he stated. “She has to be with fussy children part of the picture. She can whip up just about anything in a matter of minutes. Though, I think she has an unfair advantage with those extra arms” he chuckled, referring to his boss’ tentacles. He led Rei and the two adults to the kitchen. ================= Lollia looked up from nursing Andrew and greeted Xeto as he stepped into her sight “Good morning to you, as well, Xeto. Yes, you’re quite the memorable face from our talks. It’s great to have another alien around,” she said happily. “Oh, the classrooms are just back that way, past the entrance hall and my office. You’ll see some big, double doors that lead into two classrooms, each with their own changing rooms” she explained. “You can store the teaching materials inside the desk in whichever classroom you pick to be yours. They have a key to lock them up with too. So no worries about the kids getting into them” She then turned her gaze to Akiza, her yellow eyes gleaming “Why thank you! You are so sweet. I’m glad to hear it. Right now we only have a few children, as we haven’t been open for very long. But I’m sure they’ll keep us adults on our toes” she tittered, amused, while she continued to feed Andrew “This little one here in my arms is Andrew, nicknamed Drew. He’s about 1 year old” she explained “So currently the youngest here. We also have Sophie, who’s hiding over there in her high chair. She’s around six, we think but looks and acts three. Looks like little Rei is just the same height. And don’t mind the little bunny. She’s shy but we’ll help her warm up to her new friends. Now, how would you care for a bite? We all eat meals together in this house to feel like one big family. Please, do take a seat and get comfy. I’ll bring the food to the table for everyone” she stated, using her tentacles to grab the platters of waffles out of the warm oven and wheel over a trolley with plates, cutlery and drinking gear on it. Faster than you could think, her tentacles began to set the table while her two more human arms kept cuddling and feeding Drew his formula. “I’m sure Xeto, Rei and Frost will join us in a minute” =================== Sophie blushed even darker and let out a small squeak when she heard Mama Lolly mention her again and continued to hide behind her bunny, squirming in embarrassment as she tried to make herself invisible from all the newcomers. She wasn’t ready to be called out like that. She didn’t want everyone to look at her! Her white and pink ears twitched, absorbing everything the others said. She got a peek at Rei standing beside Frost and looked at her curiously between the gap in Bunny’s ears. They were the same size and both had white hair. Maybe they could be friends. She would have to watch from a proper hiding spot to assess if Rei would be safe to approach or not. Having a playmate would be nice. She was lonely being the only child here but she couldn’t just trust anyone. She took a peek at the other baby. Andrew was very cute and little. Maybe he’d be the easier one to talk to at first. Sophie’s stomach growled, making her eep again “Shoosh!” she whispered to it, eying all the food being set at the table, especially the bottle of cocoa Mama Lolly’s tentacle dropped on her highchair tray. Staying behind her plushie, she nipped a hand out to snatch the warm beverage back behind him and put the teat in her mouth, drinking it with a soft burble. Mmmm. So chocolatey. Her little toes curled in pleasure at the taste. ======================= Frost, seeing the others busy, decided to act on Mama’s orders. He looked at Rei and gave her hand a small squeeze, rubbing the back of it with his thumb as he reassured her “Aw, that’s okay, Honey. No need to be sorry. We all have accidents sometimes, even grown ups. Okay, come along with me, Sweetie. I’ll find you some nice, warm, clean clothes to get you dressed up in. You can cuddle into me on the way there” he smiled. “Upsy daisy, up you come!” He put his hands out and gently picked up Rei around the waist, setting her on his lap with a small grin. “Let’s go to the nearest changing room with day clothes, shall we?” he began to wheel the chair back out down the hallway, surprisingly fast at moving them along. The wheels tinkled merrily with the ice beads as they spun and soon the pair reached the changing room beside the living room. He wheeled over to one of the four changing tables and pressed the button to lower it down, then sat Rei on the rainbow printed table mat. “Alright, now, let’s take these cold, wet rags off. It’s okay, I’m just going to help you” Frost then gently began to remove the ragged clothing the small girl was in, tossing her top and bottoms on the floor before sliding her panties down and dropping them with the rest. He took a packet of wet wipes from under the change table and pulled some out “Is it okay if we clean off all the pee pee first before we get you some clean clothes?” he asked her, showing her the wipes. He began to gently clean her off as she would look around the place, seeing the choo choo train around the walls and the balloon lights on the ceiling. A mobile slowly spun overhead and the floor looked like a spring meadow. “Sort of a cheery place, eh? All the rooms are decorated to make the kids happy” he told her, tossing the used wipes away and waving a paw at the closet. Sparkling winter magic swirled through the air and the closet doors and drawers opened, articles of clothes in just her size floating out and hovering in the air around Rei’s changing table. Frost also brought some diapers up from under the table, his magic dancing around everything “Okay, little Miss, do you wanna pick what you want to wear? It can be anything you like, or I can choose for you if you don’t know. Then we can join the others back at the kitchen for hot cocoa and waffles!” the fox explained cheerily. His tail was wagging. "You just point at what you like" he instructed the tiny girl.

Castile was touched to see Aurora look so carefree and full of joy while in his care, reinforcing that he was doing something right and not messing this up. The diapers and baby treatment seemed to be a huge success with her. It was only her first day but there was already a massive difference in the girl’s behaviour. Some genuine TLC sure went a long way. He’d do everything he could to make sure that this place, this new home, felt like a true home should. Not like all the others she’d been in. If babying her was what made her happy, he’d do it for as long as she wanted. Along with the other orphans here. He loved babying others because it brought back memories of caring for his own children. And in a way, it was like they never left. Because their memories were stirred up all the time. Castile noticed the little girl having trouble choosing what type of noodles to eat. Well, there were a lot of options. Even adults had a hard time picking from that many. He pointed to the noodles with the red sauce, meatballs and melted cheese. “Hooowwww about spaghetti bolognese? It’s soft and very tasty with a yummy tomato sauce and tangy cheese. Kids usually love it” he told her. He knew the red sauce from the dish would probably end up all over the kids but they were gonna have a bubble bath after tea, anyway. So it didn’t really matter. Let them make a mess. ========================= Lily was glad to see Samuel in a happy mood. He had been pretty quiet and didn’t smile much on first arriving but it looked like he was starting to feel more comfortable and free to express himself with her assistance. Castile talking to him seemed to send him back into a flap, though. She chuckled and sighed as he hid against her shoulder, rubbing his back “It’s alright Samuel. Castile’s just trying to help. He’s not scary” she paused to flash a smile at the cat taur. “We’ll be copy-cats and take the same as you two. I don’t know if Sammy has tried spaghetti before but it’s usually a hit with the kids, like you say. Once they’ve tried a bit of everything from the menus they should have a better idea of what meals they enjoy here” she said, thinking out loud. Lily pressed the picture of the meal on the electronic display and then brought Samuel over to the high chairs “Do you want to pick a high chair to sit in? Or maybe you want to sit at the toddler table like a big boy” she offered, pointing the two areas out to him. “Or sit in a booster seat at the grown ups table. You tell me which one you want. The kitchen is cooking your food now so it won’t be long. And I’ll go get you a bib once you’re seated. Spaghetti is very yummy but it tends to get everywhere” ========================= Castile pressed their display to put in an order to the kitchen, then followed Lily and Samuel. He pointed to the highchairs. “Do you want to sit in a highchair, too? Or the toddler seats and table, or a booster seat at the big table?” he offered her, giving the same options as Samuel. “Your food will be ready in a few minutes and I'll sit with you”

((Hey guys, am still sick with a bad cold or possibly Covid, will reply as soon as I can))

((Thanks for posting I am sick with a cold right now, so my replies might be slow. I'm usually slow anyway tho, lmao XDD )) Lollia heard the doorbell loud and clear. Her pointed elfin ears heard everything. She put the last of the waffles in the oven warmer and walked out of the kitchen, down the hall, past the conservatory and into the entrance hall, opening the front door. The tall alien woman instantly spotted the one year old boy in the service worker’s arms and smiled gently at the sight of him. “Ohh, look who’s here. It’s baby Andrew. Welcome, Sweetheart. It’s so nice to see you. Aren't you just a precious thing!?” she cooed, stepping forwards and gently taking the bundle from the man. “Thank you for dropping him off. I’ll take it from here. Have a pleasant day, sir. Good bye” she told him politely, taking the little boy inside and softly closing the door behind them. She cuddled Drew, lightly rocking him in her arms, looking down at him with a smile as one of her tentacles took a few tissues from a pack of them in her apron pocket and began gently wiping his nose with them. “Hello there, little one. Don’t be afraid. I’m Mama Lolly and I’m here to look after you. This big house is going to be your new home!~” she said in a sweet, singsong tone. Her voice lilted like an elven maiden’s. “Bless you. That was a big sneeze” she giggled, carrying Drew into the bathroom beside the office to throw the snotty tissues in the bin. “It’s much warmer in here than it is out there, my Love. Let’s bring you to the kitchen and see if we can warm you up, huh?” she said, stroking the boy’s silky brown hair to comfort him as she took him into the kitchen. She took one of the baby bottles from the bottle warmer and held it out to him “Here, you want a nice baba? Mmmm! So yummy~” she cooed, pressing the warm bottle of formula against the palm of his hand, hoping he would grab it and begin to nurse. The warm milk would be sweet, creamy and comforting. It’d warm him up from the inside out. Loliia continued to gently sway with the baby in her arms, starting to hum a soft nursery rhyme. Her long ears cutely twitched as she heard footsteps stepping up the garden path towards the front of the mansion. “Frost, can you be a Dear and answer the door for me? The others have arrived” she asked him, “I don’t want to overwhelm our new baby with meeting too many new people at once” ============================= Frost nodded, smiling as he placed the small animals he made on Sophie’s highchair tray, picking up her rabbit and putting it in her arms. “Sure thing, Mama Lolly. I’ll be right back, Sophie, m’love!” he said, wheeling his wheelchair out down the hall and into the entrance hall, the crystal beads tinkling on the spokes of the wheels. He swung open the big front door, rolling his chair backwards as he pulled it open wider for the newcomers. Frost smiled and wagged his tail when he saw two people standing there, sweeping an arm to beckon them inside “Well hello, hello and a fine morning to you both! We’ve been expecting you. Welcome to the Innocence orphanage. You must be the new school teacher…Xeto, was it?” he said, looking at Xeto with a smile, then his eyes shifted to Akiza “And you must be Miss Hoshi. It’s a pleasure to meet you both! Please, do come in and make yourselves at home. Mama Lollia is waiting for you in the kitchen” he said, “I’ll show you the way. She’s just finished making breakfast and I know she would love for you to join us” he said. “She accepted one of our new orphans a few minutes ago; a little one year old boy named Andrew. And she didn’t want him being overwhelmed” He let the two adults step inside, then noticed a little girl walking up to the manor in wet panties and thin clothes “Oh, hello there, Sweetie Pie! You must be the other little girl that we were waiting to show up. Welcome to your new home, child. Come right on in, that’s the way” he encouraged as he held out his paw to her, the white fur sparkling with white glitter hairspray, his paw pads and beans a pretty light blue. He wagged his tail happily, directing a warm, affectionate smile towards Rei. She looked three years old at the most. He felt his heart pang for the sight of her wet clothes. “You poor thing, it’s freezing outside. Come in out of the cold and we’ll get you some clean, warm clothes and a yummy meal, okay?” he enticed. “No need to be nervous, Rei. We’re all nice, here. And we are happy to have you” he said sweetly. “Don’t mind the two big adults. These are some new carers that are going to be helping look after you kids. Mister Xeto the teacher and Ms Hoshi the caregiver” he explained. “They are both very nice people. I promise” Once Rei came close enough, he gently took her hand and began to slowly wheel along the floor, letting her walk beside him as he led everyone down the hallway past the conservatory, the library and the infirmary and all the way to the kitchen and dining, where he led them to the left towards the dining tables. There, they would see Lollia in the kitchen, holding Andrew. ======================= The alien lady smiled at the two adults and the little girl, waving at them and giving a hearty smile “Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Innocence Orphanage. I am Lollia Ziellie, owner and carer of this place. But you can call me Mama Lolly” she chuckled, “Lovely to see you all and welcome to the family. I thought what we would do is get the new little ones settled, have some breakky together and then we will give everybody a grand tour of the house, before picking which child goes with which carers” she stated, letting them know the plan “I’ve made lots of savoury waffles in different flavours. And there’s hot cocoa and warm bottles for the wee ones” she told them. "Frost, be a Dear and take little Rei to get changed first. She's got to be frozen solid in those wet clothes. I think some warm padding and winter clothes are in order" ========================= Meanwhile, Sophie, who was shy of all the new people, was hiding her face behind her white plush rabbit, burying her face in his fur for comfort, breathing in his smell. She eeped softly when they came into the dining area, curling in on herself, trying to fold her ears down and shrink in her highchair seat. She didn't want to be noticed yet. She wasn't ready! Usually, she would hide and then peek out from her safe spot upon meeting new people, approaching when she felt ready. But now, she was stuck in the chair waiting on her breakfast. The rabbit girl was wearing a knitted, long sleeve, woollen dress which was pink with white hearts patterns, wavy frills on the shoulders, a pleated skirt, two pearl buttons on the chest, a white floppy collar and a white bow on the waist, to one side. She also had thick, white winter tights over her thick Merries diaper, soft fur lined pink boots with bows, and a pink bow in her snow white hair. Her reddish pink eyes peered at everyone sneakily from behind the plush rabbit's ears. "Eep!"

Lollia was up early, as she often was, hardly needing much sleep due to her energy source being stellar magic from the moon and stars. She had a feeling they were going to get some new kids today after talking with child services earlier that week, as well as new caregivers whom she had interviewed recently. The tall alien woman was in the red and white kitchen of the large mansion, humming while she made batches of savoury waffles and put them in the oven to keep warm. She was wearing an apron over her lavender dress with puff sleeves, her tentacles helping her grab objects and cook around the kitchen. "I think we'll have someone knocking on the door before breakfast is ready today," she commented to her coworker and fellow 'family member' at the residence, an Arctic fox furry named Frost, "I hope these hot waffles will warm everyone up once they come in out of the cold" she smiled, checking the waffle irons. She had two going that cooked four at once. There was a delicious smell of cheese, egg and fried vegetables and batter wafting through the warmed kitchen and dining. The house's heating system was working nicely. Mama Lolly's yellow star earrings danced with her movements as she continued cooking, preparing enough food for themselves and the newcomers that would be here shortly. ================= Frost was stationed at one of the long, trestle style tables, the pastel blue one. He had his wheelchair pulled up to it and slightly at an angle as he talked to Sophie Button, one of their already existing orphans, who was sat in a highchair that had been adjusted to sit lower so that he could reach it and talk to her. The fox was making small animals out of ice crystals, animating them for the little girl. She in turn, had her stuffed bunny sitting on the table, using her own powers to make it play with the ice elemental constructs. She had to use her powers every day to prevent magic building up and 'spilling over', as it were. Frost looked over at the 7 foot alien and grinned happily. "Wow, really? They're coming today?! Great! I can't wait to meet everyone" he replied with enthusiasm. "Don't you worry, Mama Lolly. This place will fill up a little more and it won't feel so empty with just me and Sophie. Our family WILL get bigger" he reassured her kindly. He inhaled the scents of her cooking, letting out an appreciative sigh and licking his lips as his stomach rumbled "Ahh, I do love the smell of savoury waffles in the morning. Are you gonna make hot cocoa and bottles of formula for the kids as well? Oh, and what about assigning carers to children?" He turned back to Sophie "By the way, Little Miss, your choice of savoury waffles for breakfast was a good one. Everybody loves waffles and these are nice and healthy, more than just empty calories and a sugar rush" he said, patting her hair and rabbit ears playfully. ================= Sophie giggled softly and moved her hands like she was conducting an orchestra, her plush rabbit walking across the table to wrap its cloth arms around Frost's arm in a hug, the face nuzzling him. "Bunny and me say fank you. It was his idea" she explained with a small smile. "We want to keep evewyone healfy so we don' get colds when we play outside in the snow. It wouldn't be good if all the new cawews and kids end ups in the infiwmawy" she said. "Eating healfy is good fow you" The little vegetarian rabbit proclaimed. ================= Lollia looked into the dining area across from the kitchen, leaning towards them a little as she answered Frost's questions. "Yes, we'll have at least four. Two carers and two little ones" she replied with a warm smile, "And thank you, Dear. I'm looking forward to it as well. I'm excited to meet them too. We have a one year old, a ten year old and then two adults. As for assigning who to whom, we'll sort that out once they get here and get comfortable, after we've given them the grand tour of the house. And of course! Warm drinks are almost ready. Sophie, do you want cocoa or formula in your baba?"

~*~*~Daily Schedule Guide~*~*~ This is just a rough daily guide so you generally know how the days go at the orphanage. You don't have to strictly adhere to this, it's just in case you're wondering what to do with your character, depending on what time it is in the rp. The calendar will show that. Below the calendar will be the rp prompt for that session. Also, please keep in mind that there's a ratio of 1 caregiver per 2 children. Morning - Caregivers wake up early and get ready. Children begin waking up. Carers go into their rooms to get them up and change their night diapers and get them dressed for the day, brush and style their hair, clean their teeth etc. Bring kids downstairs to the kitchen and dining room for breakfast. Caregivers cook breakfast and can help feed the littles. Afterwards, they clean them off, remove bibs and let them go play, or will play with them. Kids have periods of free play and self-directed play. They can also have guided play with carers. Dishes get washed by carers, who can encourage older kids to help. Used bibs are taken to the laundry. Older Littles (5 - 17) are sent to the school rooms on Mon, Tues, Weds and Thurs from 9:00am till 2:30pm. On Fri, Sat and Sun, they are no-school days. Younger kids (0-4) are looked after around the orphanage and do not have to go to school. Mid morning - diaper checks for littles. Changes if needed. Morning tea for Littles. Morning tea is held in the kitchen and dining room and the kids taking a break from school can have a little bit of play before going back to class. Morning tea and bathroom breaks for carers is at the same time as the kids to feel like a big family. Older kids (5 - 17) go back to class. Midday - Diaper checks and changes performed for Littles. Caregivers bring them to the kitchen and dining room to have lunch. They put bibs on them and can help feed them if needed. Carers have lunch as well. Kids are cleaned up and have bibs removed. Dishes done. Bibs to laundry. Leftover food is stored in tupperware containers and put neatly in the fridge. Older kids have some play time then go back to class for the last couple of hours. Afternoon - Older kids have finished school for the day. Hooray! They can now spend their free time doing whatever they want. Before they leave class, they will get diaper checks and changes if needed. The caregivers will then round eveyone up for afternoon tea in the kitchen and dining. Using bibs on all Littles and helping feed those who need it. Carers eat with Littles. Caregivers clean up little ones and remove bibs. Dishes are done. Bibs to laundry. Kids can go back to playing for some hours. Evening - Diaper checks and changes for kiddos. Caregivers round everyone up for dinner, bring them to the dining area, use bibs and feed those who want/need help. After dinner they can have dessert if they want to. Carers eat with kids, like one big family. Kids are then cleaned up, bibs to laundry, dishes are washed. The little ones can go and play or do whatever they feel like until bath time. Caregivers can put a movie on in the cinema/ home theatre for them. Bath Time - Caregivers take kids to the changing rooms to undress, clean up and prepare them for a bath. They are brought to the big bathroom which has lots of bath tubs. Carers bathe the kids at the wash stations, washing them clean and helping them with self grooming before letting them get in a tub to play while being supervised at all times. Babies use small baby tubs and/or baby bath chairs and such. Kids can play with toys and have splashy fun. Once they have had some fun, caregivers take them out of the baths and dry them off with clean towels, taking them back to the change tables and changing them into fresh diapers. They will then take them upstairs to their bedrooms to dress into their pajamas/footed sleepers/nighties etc. Kids can play some more indoors but are discouraged from playing outside since it is getting dark out there. Bed Time Routine - Caregivers will do a diaper check and changes. They will also begin to bring children to do quiet activities and winding down exercises. For instance, reading bed time stories, giving cuddles and lullabies, putting them into their cribs and helping them settle to sleep. And so on. Once they are asleep, carers get to go hang out in the staff room, or in their bedrooms. They can relax and if tired, they can get into pjs and go to sleep. Overnight - Caregivers will be available through the night for any kids who need them for changes, feeds, resettling, comfort due to nightmares etc. Mostly Lollia since she gets energy from stars and does not need to sleep. All staff have a device they use that acts as a baby monitor. It will wake them up by vibrating and beeping if it senses a child in distress. =================================== ~*~*~Calendar~*~*~ Time of day: Morning Day of week: Friday Month: January Season: Winter Weather: snow on the ground, cold wind, snowing on and off, cloudy ================================== ~*~*~Current Prompt~*~*~ "New Arrivals" - this is your character's first day at the orphanage.

~*~*~Character Profiles~*~*~ The Innocence Orphanage has 23 bedrooms, so we could probably have a max of 6-7 caregivers and 14 children. I honestly don't expect to get that many rpers though. 2 - 4 players or even 4-6 players would be very good.

~*~*~Welcome to the Innocence Orphanage!~*~*~ A huge, Victorian style home set in the suburban countryside. This two storey building has clean, white walls and a light green, tiled roof. This place is picturesque and has lots of character. Partly because it was built by someone with no architectural knowledge. The house is surrounded by flowering shrubs and flowerbeds as well as some acreage that contains sprawling lawns and gardens. Beyond that there is a forest, a river, and other people’s farmlands and residences. This is a special home for children (ages 0 - 17) who have been abused, abandoned, or otherwise taken from their parents or previous foster home. It’s special because the owner emits a powerful magic aura that seeps into the house as well as the land and water around it, regressing all kids into ‘Babies and Diaper Lovers’. For some reason, it doesn’t affect adults. Only minors. This is a place where you can adopt child characters for family rps and take them to your own rp threads. You can also bring them back here for visits if you want. So they can play with their friends. To join, read everything on the front page first THEN send me a PM with your character profile(s) filled out. I will reply and quote you to let you know if you have been accepted. If you are accepted, you can start role playing. I’ll also add your profiles to the profile section on the front page. Please Note: Child characters must be under 18. Caregivers must be over 18. The setting for the rp is a modern day Earth but with fantasy elements such as magic and different races. ======================================== PROMPTS: To make it easy, we will do rp sessions where I will pick a single word prompt OR a phrase for everyone to explore with their characters as they see fit. It's fine to interpret the prompt in different ways, or have your character do it with someone else's. Once everyone's completed the prompt to their satisfaction, the session ends and we will choose another one to do. Players can vote for the next prompt or submit a prompt as a single word or a sentence. ======================================== ~*~*~Contents~*~*~ Post 1: Welcome, Contents, Updates, Profile Skeletons Post 2: Rules Post 3: Setting, Overview map Post 4: Character profiles Post 5: Daily Schedule Post 6: Calendar Post 7: Prompts ===================================== ~*~*~Updates ~*~*~ 29/01/24 - Welcome back to Angela the Latias and a warm welcome to another new orphan, Ry the dragon!

Please be patient...ETA Okay, it's finally ready, I think. I've set the rp to open so let's see what happens. There might be some kinks to work out, since this is my first ABDL orphanage rp. So please try your best to work with me to make this fun and functional. Thanks! ===================================== ~*~*~Profile Skeletons~*~*~ Please use this as a basic profile for your characters. Just copy and paste then fill out the info. PM to me once finished. Wait for my approval before you rp. Sometimes I might have to ask you to add or change something before I can accept it. Name: Age: Sex: Race: Appearance: Personality: Abilities: Short Bio: Other: ~*~*~Rules~*~*~ Extremely important! Must read! 1. Nothing sexual allowed. Keep things platonic. 2. You may post as you like. Whether it be with * *'s or Literate. Do not criticize how other people roleplay. However, keep in mind that people will be a lot warmer towards you if you try to be at least semi-literate. 3. This rp will be turn based posting, so wait for others to respond before replying. It makes the rp slower but that gives people plenty of time to think about what to write. There is no pressure to rush. 4. If you join, you must play a caregiver AND a little. You can play two of each, max. This ensures we have no shortage of carers so no one gets left out or ignored. 5. There is a limited number of slots for this rp. Once they are full, we are not taking any more characters. Unless someone leaves or gets adopted. To prove you read the rules, include the words Mama Lolly in your PM with your character profile. Rules may be changed or updated at any time. Make sure you stay up-to-date. ~*~*~Overview Map~*~*~ Refer back to the map while role playing! Ground Floor: Entrance Hall/Lobby - where cloaks, raincoats, bags, shoes, umbrellas etc. can be put before entering the house. There are shoe racks, umbrella hooks and stands, hooks for hanging school bags, cloaks etc. There are also scrapers to scrape mud off of shoes. There’s a big welcome mat to wipe feet on before entering the main door to the home. The shoe racks have a padded seat on top, acting as benches to sit on and wait after knocking or ringing the doorbell. The floor is polished wooden boards and the walls are wood panelling. Owner’s office - (keeps child records and talks to potential adopters) There’s a thick rectangular green rug covering the polished wood floors, a large wooden desk with carved legs and plenty of sturdy drawers. This holds a computer and large desk planner, lacy woven metal intrays with a pen holder cup and a telephone, among other things. There are shelves full of books and documents behind the desk. There are also pale pink, blue and cream filing cabinets locked and neatly kept, decorated with cute and colourful magnets. Little touches like a bouquet of flowers from the garden or conservatory and framed paintings of pretty scenes make it a welcoming room. The office is nice and the chairs are comfortable and easy to move around, being light cream in colour. The walls are a muted green grey shade with images of delicate tree branches frothing with white blossoms, tiny birds perched or flitting in them. There’s an all in one print, scan and copy machine on the far side of the desk. The ceiling is white and the light looks like a cluster of white bell shaped flowers upon winding light green vines studded with pale pink roses. Storage closets/linen closets- walk in - the orphanage has no shortage of storage and these closets are actually much bigger inside than they appear on the outside. Again, the wonderful pocket dimensions have been used, meaning that copious amounts of sheets, pillow cases, quilts, blankets, tea towels and much more can be stored in them. Everything is neatly organised and labelled, each being put in its correct place. Easy to find and easy to put away. Office Bathroom - this is much more cheerful and bright than anyone would have suspected. It’s mostly filled with large, smooth, square and bright coloured tiles for the floor and white tiles halfway up the walls, the upper half of the walls are splattered with big polka dots that look like a watercolour brush or a round ink stamp made them. These are in each colour of the rainbow and really stand out on the white background. The toilet lid is acrylic and clear with big dahlia daisies inside it in bright colours. There is a shower curtain around a combined tub and shower, with big polka dots of different sizes and colours on the white material. The towels and other bathroom things are stored in white box shelves with the inside of each box being painted a different hue of the rainbow. The towels have bright colours and some have colourful patterns or stripes on them. Everything in this bathroom is cheerful. A bath mat near the sink is a pastel rainbow sitting on a long cloud that says Lucky in the middle, with stars sprinkled on the corners. To remind workers how lucky they are to work here and be part of this big family. This bathroom resonates positivity. The countertops have round smiley faces on them. The cabinets and the drawers of the sink counter are vertical stripes in bright hues. There is a wide, floor to ceiling mirror so workers can check their outfit and selves easily. There are also some padded cube shaped seats, one in hot pink, another lime and another emerald. These are covered with waterproof rubber which is the bright coloured material. The cabinets and drawers all have pocket dimensions in them and hold a great many items such a packs of new toothbrushes, hairbrushes, hair scrunchies and other decorations, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, hair straighteners and more. Schoolroom 1 - is the first one closest to the office and the main entrance. It looks like a preschooler or kindergarten room mixed with an elementary room. There is a milkshake pink laminate floor with pictures of white, pink and red hearts of different kinds and a soft orange wall with a white skirting board. It holds a round white clock with magenta inside and white numbers and hands. The ceiling is white and has those long white halogen lights as well as bright, round, unlit lanterns dangling from the ceiling. There is a big whiteboard at the front of the class (back of each room) as well as a smaller black board and there are large cork board panels around the other walls, one which has a paper mural of a forest with butterflies and flowers. The walls are covered with colourful educational posters like times tables, sight words, ABCs, writing prompts and more. Covering an area in the middle of the room are pastel play mats that interlock, the ones made of foam. These are similar to those in the play room, only a paler colour scheme. Atop of this sit rows of desks with built in chunky seats, some sized for toddlers, with a sliding drawer underneath the top of the desk and under the chair seat, which curves around from the side. The seat and top of the desk are decorated with coloured images from cartoons and kids favourite shows. These desks grow bigger in size, to range through all the sizes up to teen and adult but their babyish designs remain the same. There are strings across the ceiling to hang student’s art and school projects as well as some crepe paper chains to add jollity. At the front of the room is the teacher's desk which is a contemporary curved bean shape and painted light green with images of red and pink apples on it, as well as some rolling trolleys full of workbooks and sheets and a deep set table on wheels full of fidget toys. There’s a couple of box shelves and display tables around the walls of the room to display student’s projects and work. And there are a few stacked racks of sliding filing trays with the trays being different candy colours. On the desks are built in raised circular holders for crayons and pencils and such. Schoolroom 2 - it’s like the first classroom, only slightly different. This is the one that sits next to the chapel. The floor of this room is a pale blue with images of pastel baby items on it such as bibs, bottles, diapers, pacifiers, rattles, a ring stacker, spinning top, ducky etc. The walls have a white background with what looks like painted handprints all over them in rainbow hues. There’s a big white board and smaller blackboard at the front of the room and all kinds of educational posters on the walls. Big cork boards are on the walls, one showing a paper collage scene of a teddy bears’ picnic. The teacher’s table at the front is shaped like a thick banana, painted yellow with white daisies that have smiley face emojis in the middle and flying around them are honey bees. The teacher’s chair is padded and on wheels and sits in the curved part. There’s a rolling trolley full of workbooks in cardboard cartons and worksheets. This one also has a deep set table on wheels full of fidget toys. There are box shelves and display tables around the sides of the room to display projects here too. The lights are white halogen ones and there are star shaped lanterns dangling down, unlit but brightly coloured. Crepe paper chains also decorate the ceiling. This room also has the candy coloured stacking filing tray things. This room has the interlocking baby flooring in the middle as well, just in slightly different pastel colours like pale blues, greens, purples, pinks etc. However, where the first classroom has toddler desks in all sizes, this one is a little different. The desks look like single person elementary school desks which are painted different pastel colours and have stickers on top and they have the sliding drawer/tray under them. However, the seats are another matter. These seats are plush animal shaped kiddy chairs. The desks and chairs range from toddler size all the way up to teen and adult. Some of them are standing animals that you have to straddle like you are riding them, others cup the person’s back with their arms while they sit on the toy’s lap. You can help but feel little and slightly ridiculous if you are older. Changing rooms: All changing tables have adjustable height by electronics where you can press two buttons that move it up or down. In the event of power failure, there is also a hand crank. School change rooms x2 Number one - vinyl on the floor that looks like pastel jigsaw pieces in candy colours. The walls of this room look like light green blackboards with bright coloured alphabet letters and numbers on them as well as cute cartoon chalk drawings and emoji stickers. The ceiling is white with coloured shapes in bold colours, such as a triangle, square, octagon and so on. The lights are a chain of four thick jigsaw puzzle pieces each rimmed in a different primary colour. There is an air purifier, extraction fan and auto air freshener. The changing tables are four in total, two to each wall, horizontally facing, having raised edges and safety straps. The mats have cute caterpillars, coloured crayons, jigsaw pieces, number jumbles and more. Under the tables are drawers and bins that contain changing supplies, diapers, diaper genies and laundry hampers plus other stuff. There is a sink between the changing tables in the middle of both walls. There is also a closet with babyish clothes of every size at the far end of the room. Number two - this changing room has big, apple shaped lights rimmed in bright primary colours on the ceiling. The ceiling is a light green. The walls are white with light blue lines like a textbook, over the top are cartoon depictions of school supplies like glue, safety scissors, ruler, pencil, eraser, teacher stickers saying well done or great, crayons, flowers, apples, books etc. The floor is white and printed with red and green apples that have different emoji faces on them, some with a worm, some cut in half, some with a bite out of them, some dancing, etc. The changing tables are four to a wall, placed horizontally and facing end to end. Between them on either wall are two sinks in the middle. There’s a cupboard at the far end just like the other room. Their layout is the same. There’s also an auto air freshener, extraction fan and purifier. There are bins and drawers under the change tables with, again, diapers, changing supplies, diaper genie, clothes hamper and more. The closet also has babyish clothes in all sizes. The tables have raised sides and safety straps as well as the wipe clean padded mats with different cute and colourful designs like baby items, teddy bears, books, toys and so on. Chapel - this little chapel is rather pretty, with stained glass windows standing tall and elegant at the wall facing outdoors. It has a polished wood floor covered by a luxurious persian rug. The wooden chairs are covered with comfortable padded cushions. There stands a simple yet pretty altar at the front and centre made of painted white wood with a pretty tablecloth and an alcove with a simple praying figurine in it. There are candle holders with white wax candles and there is an ornate incense burner as well. Gold and white lanterns hang from the walls and a crystal chandelier from the middle of the ceiling. There are fresh bunches of white flowers in crystal vases. Arched, small alcoves with rounded ledges hold more praying statues. On the backs of each pew are little ledges for resting your holy book or hymnals on. This chapel is a pretty and peaceful place with lovely carvings on the rounded, arched ceiling of flowers and animals. The extremely odd thing about this nice chapel is that there are no religious symbols or statues of any kind. They are just simple praying figurines. There’s no icons or paintings. It would seem that this place is for those who would like to come there and pray and worship whichever gods they follow. This is a place for all to use. It is non denominational. Big bathroom - This bathroom isn’t quite the same as the others. It’s designed more like a Japanese public bath house combined with a swimming pool locker room. On one side of the room there are wash stations made of half walls with a detachable shower (with a children’s shower attachment on each one, shaped like a ducky, a rainbow and cloud, a dolphin, starfish, frog, etc) as well as faucet and taps to sit and wash, which also have the children’s tap protectors fitted. There is a small ledge to put your items on like shampoo and conditioner, body wash etc. And at each seat and set of taps and shower, there is a mirror so you can see yourself washing to make sure you get all the dirt off. On the other side of the room there are some shower stalls and stall toilets like you’d find at a swimming pool. The toilets have locks on them for staff only. In the centre of the room is a big tub the size of a swimming pool but only the depth of a normal tub. On the bottom are designs of koi fish, lily pads and flowers. The tub is divided by four small walls like a plus sign that split it into four different parts. The tiled walls of the room are painted to depict murals of ponds and lakes in a large garden full of flowering trees and shrubs, deer, fairies, ducks with lots of cute ducklings, butterflies, birds, waterfalls and other such things. They are very peaceful scenery while also having a playful air that children would love. There are other, smaller tubs of various shapes and sizes that are sunken in the ground for easier access. These have non-slip clear mats with yellow ducks on the bottoms and also have safety rails to hold onto when getting in and out. There are also ducky themed tap covers and shower attachments. Around the shower stalls, there are shower curtains with a white background and yellow rubber duck prints. These rubber ducks swim across wavy aqua patterns on the top and bottom hem of the curtain while the rest fill out the white space like a duck army. There are ducky themed bath mats around the tiled floors, which depict either yellow ducklings or their rubber ducky toy counterparts. There are silicone tubs full of ducky bath toys of every kind imaginable along with scoops to try and catch them from the water, as well as toy holders with yellow mesh bags attached to duck heads with orange bills, that suction onto the tile walls and hold more toys. Toys include wind up plastic ducks that can swim, a duck you pour water into its hat and then the water makes the eyes move and a waterwheel with coloured scoops rotate around its middle, a plastic water fountain that you sit in the bath and place rubber ducks to swim around and around the bubbler in the middle etc. There are also some large towel racks and storage cupboards all around the room that contain pastel coloured and white towels, hooded fluffy towels, baby bath seats of all sizes, small tubs for washing tiny babies and many more things. There are definitely special needs equipment as well, for people with disabilities. The floor tiles of the room are large, clean white squares with a sort of rougher grip to prevent slips and falls. Yes, there is an overall rubber duck theme but it feels like you’re bathing in the botanical gardens during spring in the duck ponds! The toilets also have…you guessed, ducky toilet seats. Clear acrylic with yellow rubber ducks inside them that have orange bills and cartoon eyes. The toilet stalls are private rooms only usable by staff members with key cards and there are 2. They have half sinks on the side of the walls with small mirrors. The doors of the stalls are one blue, one yellow and say staff only. Near the entrance of the room there are some simple changing areas where people can pull a curtain around a round rail looped on the side of the wall to get dressed in privacy. Mostly for adults/teachers. There are big laundry baskets to throw used towels in. Littles are changed out of their used diapers and dirty clothes in the changing room next door. They are then wrapped in towels once they are out of the bath or showers and are brought back to the changing room to be padded up again and redressed. The lights in this room are shaped like big white clouds hanging from the ceiling. Big bathroom change room - this has soothing aqua walls with wall stickers of umbrellas, raindrops, rainbows and clouds, smiley sun, gumboots, frogs, rubber ducks, and then lower they have little trees, flowers, mushrooms etc. These wall decals are bright and pastel colours. The floor tiles in here are the same non-slip white ones as the big bathroom. Changing tables run around the entire wall covering up to halfway, with there being sunken parts in rows/beside each other that have a long padded changing mat with a childish or baby pattern or pictures on them. It looks like a daycare changing room but with longer change tables and mats to fit up to adult sizes. The tables have a safety strap. These change mats are able to be wiped clean. Underneath the tables/countertop are shelves and pull out drawers and bins that contain changing supplies, every diaper imaginable and more (pacifiers, lanyards, grooming tools, tissues, etc). The lights on the light aqua ceiling are softly lit and shaped like a bee, an aeroplane, a butterfly and a smiley cloud with a rainbow. Something for the kids to look at while being changed. There are also various baby mobiles dangling above each table from the wall. There are laundry hampers and diaper genie bins for used clothing and diapers. There are some closets with ABDL clothes of all size categories in them as well. There are automatic air fresheners up high on the walls near the ceiling as well as an air purifier unit on the wall. There’s also some sinks on the wall for carers to wash their hands after changes. Waiting area - the waiting area has plenty of comfortable, squishy chairs, each in a soothing pastel shade, seated in a circle around a big, round rug. There are small side tables with magazines. The rug is fluffy, thick and with a pastel rainbow colour scheme. Like pale chalk, the purple, blue, green, pink, yellow and orange delicately mottle together like a watercolour painting. This is where potential adopters and visitors are told to wait until the owner calls them into her office to talk. Basement stairs - this is a small closet that contains the wooden stairs leading down to the basement. They are well lit and have non-slip carpet stair treads on them so no one falls. The stairs have a sturdy railing to grab onto and protect from falling as well. There is a mat at the bottom. There is also a baby gate at the beginning of the stairs so younger kids can’t wander down there. Arts and Crafts room - this room has a laminate floor which is pale cream coloured with big, stylised paint splatter patterns on it. It also has some trails to follow such as pairs of footprints each in a different colour, flowers the same, the alphabet in different coloured shapes, stars, fish and blobs. These paths wind all around the room and desks. The walls are decorated with pastel Easter hues in smaller splatters, as well as a big rainbow in each corner, diagonal facing, with trails of butterflies coming from its ends. These walls also have some white panels with holes in them that hold hooks for safety scissors and craft tools, little shelves, baskets of pom poms or other craft supplies, cups of crayons, markers, etc, They hold rolls of stickers, containers of play doh, small naked dolls about three inches tall that kids can make clothes for from paper, play doh etc. There are also cork boards with children’s artworks pinned on them. There are strings of coloured flags across the ceiling, as well as lines to hang and peg children’s crafts and art. There are some multi layered stacking drying racks for lots of pictures to sit and dry. There are also some sinks to wash hands and cupboards of glass and plastic jars to wash brushes and get water for painting. There are hooks that hold plastic aprons and smocks to protect kids’ clothes, each with cute and bright designs or cartoons. There are also new supplies in a locked cupboard that carers can get to. This contains sharper scissors, more glitter, new packs of paintbrushes, replacement reams of paper, glue and more. The classroom has wooden furniture painted in bright and pastel candy colours like the wooden block series from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Some of the tables are oval or rectangular to fit multiple children, whereas others are smaller for just one or two. There is also a section where easels stand, each side having a whiteboard and a blackboard. You can clip sheets of paper to them with big bulldog clips so kids can paint and they have cut outs and holders to place paint pots, markers and crayons, water pots and other supplies. One the tables are plastic ice cream containers and caddies fully stocked with crafts materials like dry pasta, coloured cardboard, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, coloured feathers, foam shapes to glue onto things, washi tape, watercolour palettes, leaves, milk bottle caps, straws, dot a dot markers/bingo pens, string, and more. There are also some big craft paper rolls on rollers on the walls. Empty egg cartons are often used as paint holders, and there are other recycled craft supplies like cardboard boxes, magazines, paper towel roll tubes, and much more. The lighting in this room are ceiling lights that look like round clusters of butterflies in bright hues. It’s good lighting so kids can see what they are drawing and making without eye strain. There is also a shelf with a radio and CD player to listen to music, maybe kids tunes or classical music to inspire creativity. Home gym - this room contains a home gym with a couple of treadmills facing a wall with a TV screen, a climbing wall with different coloured hand and foot holds, each colour representing a level of difficulty. There are some monkey bars and chin up bars painted in bright colours. There’s a ladder to practise climbing too. Some kids’ punching bags that look like angry birds and emoji faces.

The room walls are printed with a montage of 8 bit video game characters in a cartoon, side scrolling game similar to Mario Brothers. The ceiling is light blue with motivational words in bright colours across it like You Can Do It and Never Give Up. Games room/arcade - this room has tables with board games for all ages set up, as well as pinball machines, air hockey table, pool table, arcade machines, claw machine with toys inside, ball toss game, giant chess, giant connect 4 etc. It’s basically a miniature arcade and indoor games room.

People can play Playstations, XBox etc. There are also computers at desks that you can play on with comfy padded gaming chairs with headphones that look like animal ears and such. The computers and internet have parental controls on them and are monitored. The walls of this room are a smooth, rather bright purple and the ceiling is as well. The flooring is carpet from 90s arcades with a black background, deep blue swirls and neon starbursts. It’s a lot prettier than it sounds. The ceiling lights are a chandelier shaped like a big dark blue UFO the size of a round dinner table, with the round lights studding the outer part. There are also some strings of LED lights shaped like little rocket ships. If you want to play a game, you have to ask an adult to set it up for you for games targeted at older age groups, otherwise there are plenty of family friendly games for little ones preinstalled on consoles and computers. Both the music room and games room have sound proof walls. Music Room - it contains musical toys and miniature instruments for younger kids, as well as piano and other instruments, music players with headphones, a stereo, speakers, toy pianos and instruments for kids and babies - decorated with colourful pattern of musical instruments with musical notes, a frieze of rainbow notes around the middle of the walls and carpet that looks like a piano with keys in each colour of the rainbow. Stairs up to bedrooms - like the basement stairs, these also have non slip stair treads to ensure safety. They are painted bright white with polished wood tops. The bannister is also white and has pretty carved white bars plus a rail you can slide all the way down if you’re careful. There is a baby gate at the bottom and top of the stairs so that babies and toddlers can’t get in any accidents. The stairs look beautiful during Christmas when they are decorated with tinsel and ornaments, bows, fairy lights etc. There are some simple down lights illuminating them so it’s easy to see where to tread. Hallways - the halls of the orphanage have polished wooden floorboards and have light cream coloured walls with skirting boards at the top and bottom. There are framed paintings hanging up that show picturesque scenes like an English cottage or a botanical garden, a beach with coloured umbrellas and so on. Places anyone would like to be. Perhaps to remind the occupants of the outside world. Laundry - this is a big room with a light grey and white colour scheme. The walls, cabinets and drawers are white and the floor tiles are diagonal chess squares in misty marble grey and white. There are plenty of cabinets and a big silver sink and tub for soaking things that get stained. There are buckets for soiled cloth diapers and a power rinse shower head attachment on the sink.

There are some green ferns and potted plants in here to accentuate it. There is ceiling light with a golden mesh frame as well as some small round downlights. It’s a good thing the laundry is right next to the back door that leads out to the yard and gardens, because there are rotary washing lines and post washing lines there in abundance. Laundry day sees them full of sheets, towels, clothing and cloth diapers. Kitchen and dining - this area has polished wooden floorboards for ease of cleaning. The kitchen has sparkly white and light grey tiles along with white counter tops and handles, bright red cupboards, drawers and seats and a double wide white fridge with kids pictures, drawings and magnets on it. It has a kitchen island with padded bar seats as well. There’s a built-in oven with stove top, a nook for the microwave and a built-in dishwasher. The walls are painted white where there aren’t tiles and there are white borders on the bottoms of the counters. The white walls have stickers showing food decals of all kinds as well as a few framed posters with bold rainbow letters stating ‘Eat Healthy’ and ‘Wash Your Hands’. The dining room is joined onto the kitchen in an open plan layout at the opposite end of the room. There are large, long wooden tables in rows that are painted in pretty shades of pastel hues, with matching wooden chairs that each have a heart cutout in the back. There are also miniature versions of them for toddlers. There are plenty of highchairs of different sizes, designs and colours as well. On one wall of the dining room is a wall mural of animals having a picnic on a sunny day in a forest clearing, brightly coloured. The ceiling lights are bright enough to see clearly what you’re eating and there are some round ones that look like fruit dangling down from a blue patch that looks like sky. In the middle of the fruit lights (apple, orange, lime), there is a fan with multi-colored blades. Strung across the dining room ceiling are also colourful paper lanterns and fairy lights in strings. Walk in pantry - A large pantry with wrap around shelves that are divided into blocks of spaces. The shelves are well organised and everything is labelled clearly and fully stocked. Infirmary - This room is rather long, with tall windows on the wall facing outside that are covered by fresh white blinds. There are some sinks and medicine cabinets in here. The floor is white laminate with pastel rainbow hearts. This has medical cribs with bars on them in different colours and comfy, adjustable mattresses that can sit the patient up or lay them down using a remote control, with cartoon printed curtains on rails above the beds to lend privacy for the patients if something medical is happening or they have an injury, are sick etc. The walls are mint green halfway up and white the rest of the way but on the white parts are pastel and bright coloured shapes and stripes like diamonds in four quarters or geometric patterns. There are health posters on the walls about body parts, washing your hands, brushing teeth and so on. There are also some eye test charts. Looks a bit like a colourful childrens’ hospital ward mixed with a school infirmary. There’s some weight scales and height charts in here too. There are cabinets around the room with medical supplies in them, both at ground level and higher up the walls. There are chairs beside the beds for visitors to sit in. There are decals and pictures of teddy bears on the ceiling reminiscent of the Care Bears. There are also medical trolleys with supplies and a few desks for the nurses to sit at and do computer and paperwork. They have filing cabinets under the desks. There’s some shelves with plushies and nurse dolls for the nurses to hand out to the patients. The nurses often do health checks and vaccinations here. But they can give first aid and some medical care if a student has an injury, such as stitching and bandaging a wound or applying a dressing. The nurses are usually caregivers of the residence who double with first aid skills. Basically how parents treat and care for sick children. In some cases, a doctor or ambulance can be called. Medical changing room - the changing room in the infirmary has each wall a different pastel colour: mint green, lavender, blue and pink. There are wall decals of cartoon child doctors with stuffed animals bearing bandages, an eye patch, using a thermometer and other medical toys, like Doc McStuffins. There are also stickers of toy ambulances, bandaids, chibi nurses, hearts with plusses, pastel hearts, syringes, and other toy medical instruments. On the ceiling are heart shaped lights of different sizes with a soft glow. The ceiling is painted like a fluffy cloudy sky with white fuzzy fluff that has patches of blue peeking out and pastel glowing stars among them. There are four changing tables, two on each side. They are big enough to fit an adult and feature raised edges so the baby/child can’t roll off. These run horizontal to the walls, end to end. There are diapers, changing supplies and diaper genie bins and laundry hampers underneath in pull out drawers that can be large and deep. There is also a sink for washing hands, with a mirror. There are some cabinets higher up the wall that contain medical stuff, as well as a cupboard filled with hospital gowns and other medical clothing and items. The floor is pale blue tiles with silver glitter embedded. There’s an air purifier, an extraction fan and an auto air freshener unit up on the wall near the ceiling. Infirmary Bathroom - this bathroom has clean white tiles on the floor and halfway up the walls and the rest of the walls have a minty blue colour with a pattern of cute medical objects like hearts with plus symbols in them, instruments you’d find in a toy doctor playset, bandaids, coloured pills, droppers, rubber gloves, scrubs and more. There is an in-ground tub with steps leading down into it as well as metal safety rails like for the disabled and a non-slip mat on the bottom of the tub and the steps that doubles as a massaging surface and is transparent light blue. The faucet and taps are covered with flower shaped protectors to prevent littles bumping their heads on them. Next is a white toilet with a child lock on it that has an acrylic seat with red hearts and silver glitter inside. The cabinets for the sink are the same minty blue shade as the wallpaper, just a little darker, and the counter top is white, with a plastic handle and a faucet extender that are shaped like flowers. The shower is in one corner and is open access for people in a wheelchair, with the same safety rails as the tub. On the walls are foam ABC, animals and other toys that stick to surfaces using water. There is a non-slip mat on the floor similar to the one in the tub. The shower has a smiling flower shower head attachment and works similar to the one in the bathroom by the living room. Just turn the handle of the shower to the right and water flows from the flower. This shower head is one of those detachable ones that can also be hung up in one spot. There are plenty of towels folded neatly in floor to ceiling shelves where any age can reach. These are pastel colours with the word infirmary printed along the top on either end in blue or white lettering. On the floor are big heart shaped bath mats that change colours when wet. There is a tall cupboard that works as another hammerspace, storing things like bath chairs for disabled children, bathing aids and equipment etc. There is also a medicine cabinet high up on the wall beside the counter which has a lock so only the staff can use it. There are stepping stools and other aids for small kids to reach wall hooks and the sink. The mirror is large and easy to see in. Library - with books for all ages, study desks and computers - this has colourful furniture that looks like the wooden block series from Animal Crossing New Horizons, the bookshelves and desks are funky shapes and also bright colours, the carpet is a deep green, mimicking a mossy forest, and over it are two rugs showing ABCs with pictures and letters in lots of squares. There are soft, comfy chairs, lounges and beanbags, as well as hidey holes, pop up tents, and other such comfy nooks. The walls are a bright, light yellow with wall stickers showing letters, emojis and pictures from nursery rhymes and fairy tales. The lighting is extremely good and perfect for reading without eye strain. There are colourful paper flags and chains of paper butterflies hanging on the ceiling above and a sign that spells out Welcome in block letters, with the ends of a Christmas cracker on each end. Secret entrance in the library - which leads to a hidden room underneath which is a part of the basement and contains the magic spell books and such. Using those books, opening portals to pocket dimensions and other realms should be possible. There is a round wooden table that you can twist and if you twist it enough, it’ll move aside to reveal a spiral staircase in the ground, leading down. The table closes over you once you go down the stairs, covering them up again. The library underneath is very different to the one above. It has floor to ceiling wooden bookshelves that are beautifully carved and filled with scrolls and spellbooks, as well as magical books of different kinds. Books about fantasy races and creatures as well. Books containing otherworldly plants, fauna and flora plus much more. The floorboards are also dark polished wood. There is a sliding ladder that moves around on a track that you can climb to reach the higher shelves. There are thick rugs on the floor in forest greens that look like moss, some sprinkled with fabric flowers. Here are also some sofa chairs in shades of shimmery green that look like velvet with wooden legs and accents. The ceiling bears what looks like round balls made of cracked purple glass with pink and blue fairy lights inside. There are also lanterns with intricate metalwork designs and crystal panes hanging from ornate hooks on the shelves and walls. These seem to be lit with green and purple fire that emits no heat. On one of the stone walls there appears to be a tree that grows up from the floor, forming an archway, the roots and branches of the twin trees having joined together over time. The dark green foliage lending some fresh air. The stone wall is smooth and flat inside the trees’ embrace. It looks like there should be a doorway there but there is nothing. Conservatory/indoor greenhouse - this contains miniature to medium trees (some with tiny fruit), shrubs cut into animal or other cute shapes, riots of colourful flowers and plants of all kinds, along with some water features such a little fish pond with sparkling rainbow guppies and a mini stream with a tiny wooden arched bridge over the middle, hanging egg shaped seats to relax in (called hammock chairs, swing chairs or egg chairs), some wooden slatted lounge chairs with cushioned mats, a painted white wrought iron table and chairs with cushions tied on them. Meandering little stone paths that wind around artfully designed garden beds and have inlays of tiles and stones shaped like flowers. The place is perfumed by some of the flowers and there are big windows with white lattice panels. There is a three tiered fountain carved with dancing fairies that has a small round wading pool at the bottom. The fountain sits in the centre. There is also a little rocky waterfall going down some stacked rocks into the little stream and some of those balls with water that bubbles over them. There are some solar lights planted in the garden beds that come on automatically during dull days and at night. Most of the light comes from the many large windows fitted with thick security glass and white wooden frames and lattices. At night you can see the stars. And a good view of storms and rain or snow. There really are bunches and oodles of flowers. There are some pretty paper lanterns strung in the indoor small trees. All around are painted statues of garden gnomes, fairies, toadstools, cats, frogs and other cute things. There are also some cute toadstool seats and miniature tables. The flowers are arranged to look like images of a smiley face, a big heart, a white ruffled teddy bear, a lollipop, a round birthday cake with a slice cut out etc. Living room - this is fitted with a large flatscreen TV on one wall and on another there is a hearth for fires and Christmas stockings, along with thick, plush multi-colored carpet with a white diamond pattern crisscrossing it and comfortable couches and chairs. The lounges are thick and squishy with plenty of padding and cushions and they come in bright hues. They can be moved around, joined together and rearranged into any number of configurations and are easily cleaned. There is a large white marble fireplace with carvings of flowers and two lions heads either side at the top of the pillars and cherubs sitting on perches at the bottom. You can see the feathers of their wings in great detail. The walls are covered in high quality wallpaper that shows colourful flowers of all kinds on top of a washed watercolour greys background, the flowers popping out from the foggy, misty greys. In amongst the flowers frolic leopards, tropical birds, alicorns, butterflies and other creatures. On the ceiling are gold lights that have a geometric pattern on a round fabric shade that are multiple pastel rainbow shades. There are elongated, oval shaped coffee tables that have been padded underneath the rubber or vinyl coating. Living room change room - this changing room which joins onto the living room has a vinyl floor that looks like a grassy meadow with coloured flowers and clover sprinkled over it. The walls are a cheery light yellow with a long choo choo train travelling around all four walls that has many little cabooses in bright colours, each showing a cartoon animal having fun and doing something different. The main engine has a stack that puffs coloured clouds over the rest of the carriages. The lights on the sky blue ceiling are designed to look like balloons with strings hanging down that have a stuffed animal tied to each of them by their arm. The light in the middle looks like a cluster of balloons attached to a tiny house like the movie UP. There are butterfly, bird and other stickers on the sky ceiling. The changing tables are four in total, two per wall, end to end like in the medical changing room and also have rails so no one can roll off. Big enough to hold adults. With safety straps. The mats of these are padded, easy to wipe clean and have rainbows, smiley faces, flowers and ladybugs on them. There are mobiles attached to the wall above where the person’s head will be. There is a sink at one end of the room and a cupboard at the other. Underneath the tables are bins and drawers full of changing supplies, diapers, laundry hamper, diaper genies and more. The cupboard contains babyish clothes of every size and pacifiers plus more. There is an air purifier, an extraction fan and automatic air freshener on the walls. Bathrooms - Main the bathroom next to the living room has pale blue walls that look like shapes of waves near the top, closer to the ceiling. There are pastel, multi coloured fish of different kinds swimming across the walls. There’s a big tub that is sunken into the ground for easier access that is white and oval shaped with a non-slip fishy print mat on the bottom. The fittings are silver and fitted with protectors that are silicon whales so babies can’t bump their heads on them and water comes out the whale’s mouth. The sink has darker blue cupboards and drawers with a white countertop, handles and sink, again with silver taps, each marked red and blue for hot and cold. The toilet is white with a blue acrylic toilet seat that has seashells, glitter and toy fish set inside, as well as having a magic child lock on it. The towel hooks are wooden blocks shaped and painted like a sailboat, a whale, a mermaid and so on, with painted hooks that have a harmless round ball on the end. There is a big silicone tub of bath toys along with plenty of bath bombs, bubble bath, no tears wash, loofahs and sponges shaped like ocean animals, bath crayons and baby bathing products. The towels for the bathroom are huge, soft and printed with all kinds of designs, folded neatly on towel racks that reach from the ground to the top of the wall. Butterflies, dinosaurs, rainbow sharks, pastel hearts, duckies, anything you can think of. There are stepping stools for those too short to reach the sinks. There’s a plastic handle and a faucet extender that looks like a friendly blue dolphin for anyone who wants to brush teeth or wash hands but is too small. There are also fish shaped bath mats that change colour when they get wet. And there’s a shower with a friendly dolphin shower head attachment that brings the water down lower for tinier children, as well as makes it come out more gentle. There are some foam letters and shapes that kids can stick to the glass or the walls and play with. Beside the tub, stuck to the wall, are also some water pouring toys like funnels and pipes, and water wheels. There’s a big mirror above the sink cabinets with a fishy pattern around the edges. Under the sink there is a dimensional storage where baby baths, baby bath seats and other things are stored. Theatre - This is like a miniature cinema with enough padded foam seats covered with bright colours of vinyl for everyone. (Wipe clean in case of spilled soda or a leaky diaper) It has a big screen on the far wall and rows of seats, as well as beanbags and giant cushions to sit on. The room has dark blue sapphire carpet and walls with white stars sprinkled on them in different sizes. There are five pointed star shaped lights on the dark blue ceiling. There are some giant plushies to cuddle and sit on as well. Caregivers or teens can put on a movie if they want using the remote and the streaming services and younger kids have to ask them to put one on. Playroom with ball pit - designed like an indoor play centre or play room at a daycare with mesh around the ramps and structures you can climb in the top right hand corner (soft play centre) that go along and up one wall, as well as some tunnels to crawl through and little rooms in the centre where several tunnels meet. Think of the daycare structures from FNAF Security Breach only on a much smaller scale. It doesn’t take up the whole room. Everything is brightly coloured and there are padded/medium density foam sections and furniture with vinyl coverings in bright colours. There are some slides, one wavy and one straight, as well as a spiral tunnel slide. The rest of the room has those padded, interlocking foam play mats in bright colours on the entire floor. There are plenty of toys such as wooden and LEGO Duplo building blocks with people figures, train sets, doll houses and dolls with furniture, rocking horses or soft padded rockers, a ball pool with a short sloped ramp going into it, plushies, a cubby house, pop up tents, big soft balls, a busy board on the wall, a miniature toy basketball hoop, plastic and wooden toys on shelves, baby gyms, baby bouncer, baby swings, walkers, a toy car mat with cars, plastic farm animal playset, other playsets, plastic toys, small pretend kitchen and food, dress ups, ride on toys, baby dolls, rattles, fidget toys, ring stackers, shape sorter, one of those toys you hammer pegs into…basically Google baby and toddler toys of your choice and that’s what is in the playroom. Keep in mind that older children can have toys for their age in their private, personal bedrooms. But in the playroom, all the kids can play so we need to make sure little ones can’t get hurt or choke on anything. Like a normal daycare, oodles of toys and different ways to play but everything is safe for little people. The play room is tidied and cleaned by the children and carers at the end of each day, working together as a team to keep it tidy. The teachers/carers also swap out toys and replace them with other toys throughout the week so it never gets boring and there’s always something new to play with. There’s a big pile of plushies and cushions to hide in as well. Whatever you can dream of in the perfect baby playroom! The walls are cream and are decorated with stickers of all kinds of toys, as well as crafts, drawings and paintings that the children have done. These also dangle from the ceiling and are pegged across lines of string that stretch across the ceiling. Like in a kindergarten school room. There are two play pens. There are some posters on the walls about ABCs, 123s, Animals, foods and more. There are also decals of cartoon characters on the walls. The ceiling lights look like coloured clusters of Christmas baubles that glow. Floor 2: Upstairs - kids’ bedrooms, staff bedrooms Kids’ rooms - these are each different and decorated in a theme the child themselves chooses (e.g. teddy bears, doll house, princess room, nautical) and they look like a baby nursery of various sizes. Empty rooms are plain and bare with polished wooden floors and white cream walls. They look a lot better when they are occupied and decorated. Staff bedrooms - these are decorated however the staff member prefers. They usually look like miniature homes, showing things the person likes, their hobbies, their fashion style and so on. They are places for the caregivers to relax and spend some alone time. Staff room - this room is full of comfortable couches and chairs as well as some long tables with bright coloured plastic chairs and a small kitchenette on one wall. There are some bookshelves, a radio and CD player, charging ports for phones, laptops and such, a small fridge, a few desks, a small TV on the wall, a dishwasher and sink, microwave, cupboards with tea cups and coffee mugs etc. This is where staff can go on break. There are a couple of vending machines selling drinks, foods and snacks. A water cooler. There is a small ping pong table set and some bookshelves. It’s sort of like a library meeting room. The floor is linoleum and is white with watercolour flowers and leaves. The walls are a light grassy green with flower decals and butterflies on them. The staff room is large and has three doors for easier exits around the home. Staff bathrooms - these 5 separate bathrooms have white tile floors and painted white walls and ceilings, with sleek, clean downlights. However, they are spotlessly clean. Each one is like a private bathroom in a house, containing a bathtub, shower, toilet, sink and cabinets, laundry hamper, towel rack and so on. Each bathroom has its own matching set of accessories to decorate it. One shower curtain, bath mat, shower mat, toilet seat cover and toilet mat adds a lot of personality and colour to each room, making them come to life. One set is pictures of butterflies, there’s a flowery one, a beach image one, sakura blossoms and colourful parrots. These bathrooms are for staff only and the doors are locked for anyone without a swipe/key card. Staff wear their key cards (which also have their name and picture for ID) either pinned to their clothes or on lanyards. Children are expected to bathe and perform grooming and hygiene tasks in the downstairs bathrooms. Spiral Stairs to Attic - much like the basement stairs, these are hidden in what looks to be an ordinary boring closet, but if you open the door and flick on the light using the switch, you’ll see a nice spiral staircase twisting upwards. It is tightly wound and made of polished wood the colour of light honey. There is a protective railing around it as well in matching tones. There is a baby gate at the bottom to prevent tiny ones going up there. These stairs are quite steep and rather smaller than the main staircase or the basement steps. Once you get to the top, the attic is quite airy and filled with natural lighting from the slanted skylight windows. Attic: Attic - This is a nice wooden attic with an A frame roof that leaves lots of space for standing. The wood is light, almost honey coloured and the basic light on the ceiling, though simple, provides a nice, white, airy illumination. It contains flatpacks and ready built furniture for nurseries that haven't been painted or decorated yet, new bedding, toys, gifts and such for new kids. Tins of paint, paintbrushes, rolls of wallpaper, paint scrapers, tarps, masking tape, and more supplies for making up and decorating bedrooms are in here. There are also catalogues with coloured pictures full of nursery and kids room ideas. There are also catalogues that recommend the best toys and equipment for daycares. Wooden boxes and crates full of stuff are stored here. There are some windows that look out over the gardens and surroundings of the orphanage and a couple that are slanted to match the angle of the roof and stare into the sky. Fun to watch rain or snow fall on the panes. Basement: Basement - This room is climate controlled like the rest of the house. It contains the hot water heater, the furnace, the air conditioning system, the breaker panel and fuse box and for some odd reason, looks like a few empty stables and pet enclosures. There are also spares of things that might be needed in the house like replacement light bulbs and light fixtures, tools to do repairs, garden hoses, etc. There is some antique furniture plus rugs and carpets in rolls or hanging up. There is also a hidden panel in the floor that leads to some underground caves, concealed well to match the stone pavers and hidden beneath an enormous persian carpet. Storage of all holiday decorations and seasonal decor. Storage of bulk food supplies as well as supplies in case of an emergency. (Water, batteries, torches, first aid kits, towels, etc). There is storage of replacement kitchen wares such as pots, pans, crockery and cutlery. There are also travel items like suitcases. And some sports and outdoor equipment too. Boxes of swapped out toys from the play room. Basement room 1- sewing room. Here are shelves with bolts of fabric, sewing machines, quilting patterns and mannequins of all sizes from baby to adult. This is where all of the ABDL clothing is made that is given to the orphans while they live in the orphanage. There are also bedding and quilts made here as well as stuffed animals. Basement room 2 - carpenter's shop to make ABDL furniture and equipment of all kinds as well as wooden toys. Lots of woodworking tools, sandpaper, etc. Basement room 3 with cupboard - this is a storage room full of items collected from other worlds, including furniture, wands, clothing, potions, toys, jewellery, ornaments, magical artefacts and ingredients, weapons and more. Dangerous or extremely powerful items are kept in the locked walk in cupboard in the top left corner of the room. Door to this room is also locked with a lock that needs 5 keys and is hidden behind a huge painting in a heavy frame. ================================ Outdoors - big backyard with several playgrounds for different ages, open lawn, hopscotch, bounce house, trampoline, meandering paths, washing lines, flower garden, fruit n veg gardens, treehouse fort, trees and bushes, wishing well, fountain, miniature hedge maze, swimming pools that are fenced and gated, with locks. Garage - this large building is separate from the main house and sits beside it, connected by a stone paver walkway. Two cars, strollers for all ages, bikes, sleds, scooters, skateboards, carriages, etc. lawn mowers, snow blowers and shovels, gardening tools, sports equipment and outdoor play equipment, toolboxes, spare tyres, oil, petrol and stuff for cars, extension cords, hoses, pool accessories, ladders, step stools, kayaks, outdoor toys, camping gear, gazebos, small private plane…all the chemicals and products dangerous for kids are locked in cabinets.

He liked her positive response to being taught colours, expecting her to try to repeat the words, only for her to react like a much younger baby would. It didn’t bother him, though it gave him some idea of where she was at mentally, development-wise. He wasn’t sure if her foster families ever organised any schooling. The employee guide on the tablet Mr Balverk gave him did tell of there being school rooms, either in the mansion or somewhere nearby. This was a good thing, as kids in diapers and with special needs would find it much more accommodating than a regular school. Aurora would probably have to start at the preschool level, since she didn’t know the basics most 4 year olds mastered at this age. She was either neglected or overlooked by the foster families and/or teachers, or too stressed and unhappy to learn while living with them. Being treated like a baby did seem to make her incredibly happy, though. So he would continue to do so, even if she increased her educational knowledge. Learning was important for kids. That way, they could read, write, and do more activities. Not to mention learning crafts, hobbies, magic skills for those with powers, and other such things. Castile would try to find out where her interests lie. She didn’t have to have a career when she grew up but it was always fun and helpful to learn stuff. Heck, if she or any of the others simply wanted to live here and be babied, then he wouldn’t say no. They deserved to be happy and to choose how they lived their own lives. Either way, he’d be supportive. The change was soon done and she was obediently drinking her bottle again, settled snugly in his arms. She seemed happy to go along with his plans. He smiled when she got uncertain about being allowed noodles. “Well of course you can have noodles! Noodles are super yummy. We’ll go put your clothes in your room then go see what flavours the kitchen can whip up for us” he said, carrying her back to the playroom to fetch the clothes then looping back in a quick side trip to drop the clothes in her nursery. He took her into the kitchen and dining area next, going to one of the touch screen menu boards that displayed all the food choices. Castile swiped through options till he saw noodles, then showed Aurora all the different choices. “Okay, do you want ramen? Or stir fry noodles with veggies? That sounds yummy. Or maybe you’d like spaghetti bolognese, chicken, pork or seafood noodles, or Asian noodles. You tell me which one you want” he said, “If you try it and you don’t like it, we can put it on the Do Not Eat list and pick something else” he explained. ========================= Lily took the bottle and popped it in one of her uniform pockets for safekeeping. She noticed him fussing over the hippo being left in his room, which she thought might happen, but he thankfully calmed down once she reassured him his new buddy would be waiting for him when he got back. “We have to leave Hippo here to wait, otherwise he could get lost or get dirty eating dinner” she explained to Samuel. “You wouldn’t want another kid to take him, would you?” she asked, patting Sammy’s back as she walked with him. They made it to the playroom and she gathered her bag and his clothes, which she put in there with her other stuff. Noticing the little boy in her arms leaning to get a look in the bag, she chuckled and held it open for him, reaching in to move stuff around to show him the contents. “You wanna see what’s in my bag? Okay! Well, there’s nothing much exciting here. Just a 2 dot keycard for humans, my work tablet, 2 apartment keys, my ID card and…a spare uniform!” she told him, “Pretty boring, huh? Then of course we got your new clothes. Let’s swing on by the firetruck nursery and then wee woo wee woo all the way to the dining room” she grinned, making good on her word and taking Sammy to deposit his clothes safely in his nursery. She then put him on her shoulders, holding onto his ankles as she walked towards the kitchen and dining, making firetruck siren noises to make him laugh, walking in a wiggly line down the hallways till they emerged in the dining room to delicious cooking smells. Lily inhaled a big breath, sighing as she breathed out again “Man, that smells good! What do you want to eat? Let’s go look at the menu” she said, walking up to the touch screen board right in front of Castile and Aurora. “Hey, what are you guys having for dinner?” she asked. ========================= Castile turned to greet her with a friendly wave. “Oh, hey, you two. Finally made it to the kitchen, I see. We’re having noodles! I think... Aurora’s just choosing now” he explained happily. “What about you, Kiddo? Are you a noodle man? Or something else?” he asked playfully.

She was glad to see him nod at her questions. “That’s good, Sweetie. I want you to be happy here. Your room is your own private place where you can feel comfortable and escape to any time you need some alone time” she explained. “I know talking to others wears you out, so it’s okay to come here whenever you need a break” She watched him yawn and wondered if he needed a nap. Aurora had one earlier. The day was probably catching up to him. He also still had a cold, so that was probably sapping his energy too. Lily walked over and picked him up when he reached out to her, making sure he didn’t drop his hippo. She glanced at the Mickey Mouse bandaid on his left hand. Blood tests make you tired sometimes as well. She decided he would be getting an early night. Lily listened to the little boy as she cuddled him in her arms. He was soft around the bottom and warm due to having a higher body temperature than the amphibious Lily. “Oh. Well, I’m sorry to hear that no one ever asked you what you wanted. That isn’t very fair. From now on, me and Castile will make sure to ask. That way, you can make choices about what you want” she said, not sure if he understood. “And if you don’t know, we will try to make the best choices for you. Right now, I think a little playtime in the playroom is a good idea. Leave hippo here so he doesn’t get taken by another child". She rubbed his back as he drank from the bottle, walking over to the crib and gently taking the plush toy from his arms, putting it on his pillow. “Hippo will be right here waiting for you when you go to bed” she told him. “Let’s go get your new clothes from the play room so we can put them away in your bedroom” Lily carried him back to the playroom and grabbed her tote bag along with Samuel’s clothes; two pairs of shortalls, four t-shirts, three onesies and two rompers. “Anything you want to play with in here before we drop by your room and then go for dinner?” she asked him, giving him the choice of more playtime. ================ Castile had a feeling that Mr Goodie would introduce himself tomorrow morning. After all, he was going to be the one driving them all to the aquarium, so they’d HAVE to meet him. He thought it was a good idea to give the kids kid-friendly phones. They’d have the number for the nannies, nurses station and Mr Goodie himself preinstalled on them. And they’d be handy if the worst happened and a kid ever got lost or even kidnapped. Though that would be hard with two otherworldly caretakers. One who used bubble magic and the other having frog abilities. The phones likely had tracking chips in them as well. He smiled as she declared her liking of the nursery that she had designed. “Me too. You did very well” he told her, knowing most kids her age would probably pick random things that didn’t match. He saw her look surprised and start checking her diaper, making him chuckle a bit. She was funny. Once she was assured that her diaper was in fact, very soggy, she crawled over to the changing table, her puffy butt wiggling cutely and making him chuckle some more. Castile readjusted one of the paw booties covering his paws while watching her pick out a new diaper. He wandered over in an unhurried manner and crouched down to see what she picked. “Oh, how cute. A Luv’s diaper. Okay, we’ll put that on your little tushy” he agreed, taking the diaper and scooping Aurora up with his other arm. He felt her padding squish against his uniform as she was set on his hip. He gently lay her down on the padded table with higher sides that prevented little ones rolling off. Castile set the diaper aside and pulled open her pink onesie, the snaps clicking open with nice pops. He then pushed it up her tummy out of the way and easily unhooked both the tabs with each hand, peeling them back. Castile pulled the diaper open and grabbed a handful of wipes from the cute warmer container. He began to wipe her down, lifting her legs once her front was done and raising her ankles in the air to clean her bottom. The old diaper got tossed in the diaper genie while Castile grabbed the Luv’s diaper and opened it up, smoothing it out. “Oh look, Aurora. Do you know the colours on this diaper? We have purple…green…blue and white” he said, holding it up where she could see it and pointing to each colour. He'd have to talk to Mr Balverk about schooling the kids tomorrow. There were things they needed to learn. He then slid the nappy underneath her bum and applied baby oil and powder, lightly rubbing it in. Castile taped it closed and reclosed her onesie, tugging it back down and sealing the poppers with small clicks. Last, he wiped his hands with a wet wipe before scooping her back off the table. “And we are alllll….done!” he pronounced, booping her nose and bouncing her in his arms slightly. He picked up the bottle of blueberry cherry juice from the floor, putting it back into her hand. “I think we should go grab your other new clothes and put them away in your new nursery. Then go have dinner. What do you feel like eating?” He asked her as he began to carry her towards the playroom. Samuel and Lily were currently there too.

Lily quietly watched the little boy explore his surroundings, taking his time to look around. There were a lot of new things to see at once. But it was all of the things he picked out of the catalogue that he wanted, so it should be to his liking. She smiled seeing him hug the stuffed hippo and then drop to all fours and crawl around. That was very cute. His diapered bottom crinkled with every movement, wiggling side to side, making her stifle a soft laugh. Lily watched him point to the fire truck crib and walked over, looking impressed “Woooow, is that your brand new bed? It’s really cool. I didn’t know they could make cribs like that” she enthused, admiring the paint job and handiwork. This was definitely custom made. “You’re going to be so comfy in there tonight, with all the soft blankies and pillows. Maybe you’ll drive it around in your dreams” she said, sparking his imagination. Lily enjoyed watching him look around some more. “Did your nursery turn out good? Is this what you wanted?” she asked him, checking to make sure. “I know they can always add or change things if you ask nicely” she informed Samuel. “Looks like there isn’t many toys or clothing in here yet. But that’s okay, you got some new clothes back in the playroom that I can bring here. And you’ll get more new toys when you go on shopping trips with Mr Goodie. You haven’t met him yet but he is the one that takes kids shopping. He will also give you phones and your own credit card with $500 on it. We might meet him tomorrow” she explained with a smile, “Do you want to sit and play with your new hippo friend here, or leave him here and go back to the playroom? After that it’ll be dinner and a bath” she told Samuel, letting him know what was going to happen. “Make sure you drink as much of that mango juice baby bottle as you can” she said, noticing it on the floor. “Keeping hydrated will help with your little cold” ================ He watched her drink the ‘juice’, glad she seemed to like it. It was important to replenish the fluid lost from the earlier test. On the bottle he read the words ‘blueberry cherry’, a rather odd flavour combination he had never tried before. But they were both fruits so they were probably nice together. “That’s good, Sweetie” he replied, “I’m glad you had fun playing the virtual reality set and meeting some other princesses. Maybe you can pick up where you left off next time we see the nurse. I hear there’s a games room where you can play more video games too. This place seems to have everything” he grinned. It was nice to see her smile. Something she probably hadn’t done for months if not years before coming here. She had to be comparing that life to this one and this one was definitely better. Castile waited patiently while she looked over the toy cart from Storage Room 11, not wanting to rush her. There were so many cool toys it would be hard to choose just one. When she picked the crib toy that looked like a miniature aquarium that babies could play with on the side of their cribs, he smiled approvingly “Ah, fishies, those are always lots of fun. Looks like a super cool toy you got there!” he told her. “What a lucky girl” It was either the Fisher Price Aquarium Wonders Crib Toy or the Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Crib Toy. He couldn’t make out what it said on first glance. He watched her take it out of the box and start playing with it, noticing how her diaper squished as she plopped down onto her bum. Looks like another change was due. Castile let her play for a while and then nodded when she asked to take the toy “Go right ahead, Sweetheart. You earned it” he replied. “We can get you more toys maybe tomorrow. When Mr Goodie shows up. That’s the man who takes kids out on shopping trips” he said. “I think he has a gift for new kids too. Your own kiddy phones” He took her to the nursery with her new vintage toy in hand, along with her cherry blueberry Pedialyte. The name on the door was in pink and purple wooden letters with glitter sprinkled through them. “Now you’ll always know which one is your room, because it has your name on the door” Castile told her as they stepped inside. She seemed to like the rug a lot. He saw her looking around the room “This is all the stuff you picked out earlier today. Are you proud of how it turned out? I think you did a good job” he told her in a friendly manner. “It suits you to a tee. Oh and I’ll bring your new clothes in here from the playroom later. Now, I think it might be a good idea to test out your new changie table. What do you say?” he asked the little girl, pointing to the padded table that was fully stocked with diapers and changing supplies. “Somebody had a visit from the sog monster during their nurse checkups~” he said, teasing her playfully.

Yayyy! Thank you~! I made my two caregivers today as well. A pastel Alien mama and an Arctic fox furry who is in a wheelchair.

Good news, everyone. I'm almost ready to make the RP so we can start. I'm just making my characters. I've got a child character done already so I have two caregivers to craft and then it should be ready. Oh and I wanted to let you know it'll be a relaxed pace rp, so everyone takes a turn to post and we wait for people to catch up. Slow paced ones are easier for everyone since we all get busy irl from time to time. Especially with the holidays drawing close.

Think I've settled on this as a vague plot Magical orphanage where the person who runs it has powers and regresses or babies all the orphans in her care, making them love being babies. They are adopted by people who want permanent babies.

Sure, I'd be more than happy for you to join in. Once I finish setting it up. This is just the interest check thread. I've got an updated basement for it and a text description of every room and area. That took me tons of reference images lol. Now I'm just making my main characters, one child and probably two caregivers. And I still kind of need a main plot. Here are the text descriptions of all areas. I will love you forever if you guys give me feedback on them. Setting: modern world with fantasy elements An orphanage that babies all the kids who come there. Maybe there’s something in the water (fountain of youth) that makes everyone BDLs, or perhaps it’s a motherly type magical person who babies all in her care...OR it could be a place for people who are permanent babies for one reason or another, like a curse, spell or genetic defect. Still plotting ideas.... Music Room - it contains musical toys and miniature instruments for younger kids, as well as piano and other instruments, music players with headphones, a stereo, speakers, toy pianos and instruments for kids and babies - decorated with colourful pattern of musical instruments with musical notes, a frieze of rainbow notes around the middle of the walls and carpet that looks like a piano with keys in each colour of the rainbow Library with books for all ages, study desks and computers - this has colourful furniture that looks like the wooden block series from Animal Crossing New Horizons, the bookshelves and desks are funky shapes and also bright colours, the carpet is a deep green mimicking a mossy forest, and over it are two rugs showing ABCs with pictures and letters in lots of squares. There are soft comfy chairs, lounges and beanbags, as well as hidey holes, pop up tents, and other such comfy nooks. The walls are a bright light yellow with wall stickers showing letters, emojis and pictures from nursery rhymes and fairy tales. The lighting is extremely good and perfect for reading without eye strain. There are colourful paper flags and chains of paper butterflies hanging on the ceiling above and a sign that spells out Welcome in block letters, with the ends of a Christmas cracker on each end. Secret entrance in the library which leads to a hidden room underneath which is a part of the basement and contains the magic spell books and such. Using those books, opening portals to pocket dimensions and other realms should be possible. There is a round wooden table that you can twist and if you twist it enough, it’ll move aside to reveal a spiral staircase in the ground leading down. The table closes over you once you go down the stairs, covering them up again. The library underneath is very different to the one above. It has floor to ceiling wooden bookshelves that are beautifully carved and filled with scrolls and spellbooks, as well as magical books of different kinds. Books about fantasy races and creatures as well. Books containing otherworldly plants, fauna and flora plus much more. The floorboards are also dark polished wood. There is a sliding ladder that moves around on a track that you can climb to reach the higher shelves. There are thick rugs on the floor in forest greens that look like moss, some sprinkled with fabric flowers. Here are also some sofa chairs in shades of shimmery green that look like velvet with wooden legs and accents. The ceiling bears what looks like round balls made of cracked purple glass with pink and blue fairy lights inside. There are also lanterns with intricate metalwork designs and crystal panes hanging from ornate hooks on the shelves and walls. These seem to be lit with green and purple fire that emits no heat. On one of the stone walls there appears to be a tree that grows up from the floor, forming an archway, the roots and branches of the twin trees having joined together over time. The dark green foliage lending some fresh air. The stone wall is smooth and flat inside the trees embrace. It looks like there should be a doorway there but there is nothing. Kitchen and dining - this area has polished wooden floorboards for ease of cleaning. The kitchen has sparkly white and light grey tiles along with white counter tops and handles, bright red cupboards, drawers and seats and a double wide white fridge with kids pictures, drawings and magnets on it. It has a kitchen island with padded bar seats as well. There’s a built-in oven with stove top, a nook for the microwave and a built-in dishwasher. The walls are painted white where there aren’t tiles and there are white borders on the bottoms of the counters. The white walls have stickers showing food decals of all kinds as well as a few framed posters with bold rainbow letters stating ‘Eat Healthy’ and ‘Wash Your Hands’. The dining room is joined onto the kitchen in an open plan layout at the opposite end of the room. There are large, long wooden tables in rows that are painted in pretty shades of pastel hues, with matching wooden chairs that each have a heart cutout in the back. There are also miniature versions of them for toddlers. There are plenty of highchairs of different sizes, designs and colours as well. On one wall of the dining room is a wall mural of animals having a picnic on a sunny day in a forest clearing, brightly coloured. The ceiling lights are bright enough to see clearly what you’re eating and there are some round ones that look like fruit dangling down from a blue patch that looks like sky. In the middle of the fruit lights (apple, orange, lime), there is a fan with multi-colored blades. Strung across the dining room ceiling are also colourful paper lanterns and fairy lights in strings. Walk in pantry - A large pantry with wrap around shelves that are divided into blocks of spaces. The shelves are well organised and everything is labelled clearly and fully stocked. Living room - this is fitted with a large flatscreen TV on one wall and on another there is a hearth for fires and Christmas stockings, along with thick, plush multi-colored carpet with a white diamond pattern crisscrossing it and comfortable couches and chairs. The lounges are thick and squishy with plenty of padding and cushions and they come in bright hues. They can be moved around, joined together and rearranged into any number of configurations and are easily cleaned. There is a large white marble fireplace with carvings of flowers and two lions heads either side at the top of the pillars and cherubs sitting on perches at the bottom. You can see the feathers of their wings in great detail. The walls are covered in high quality wallpaper that shows colourful flowers of all kinds on top of a washed watercolour greys background, the flowers popping out from the foggy, misty greys. In amongst the flowers frolic leopards, tropical birds, alicorns, butterflies and other creatures. On the ceiling are gold lights that have a geometric pattern on a round fabric shade that are multiple pastel rainbow shades. There are elongated oval shaped coffee tables that have been padded underneath the rubber or vinyl coating. Bathrooms - Main the bathroom next to the living room has pale blue walls that look like shapes of waves near the top, closer to the ceiling. There are pastel, multi coloured fish of different kinds swimming across the walls. There’s a big tub that is sunken into the ground for easier access that is white and oval shaped with a non-slip fishy print mat on the bottom. The fittings are silver and fitted with protectors that are silicon whales so babies can’t bump their heads on them and water comes out the whale’s mouth. The sink has darker blue cupboards and drawers with a white countertop, handles and sink, again with silver taps, each marked red and blue for hot and cold. The toilet is white with a blue acrylic toilet seat that has seashells, glitter and toy fish set inside, as well as having a magic child lock on it. The towel hooks are wooden blocks shaped and painted like a sailboat, a whale, a mermaid and so on, with painted hooks that have a harmless round ball on the end. There is a big silicone tub of bath toys along with plenty of bath bombs, bubble bath, no tears wash, loofahs and sponges shaped like ocean animals, bath crayons and baby bathing products. The towels for the bathroom are huge, soft and printed with all kinds of designs, folded neatly on towel racks that reach from the ground to the top of the wall. Butterflies, dinosaurs, rainbow sharks, pastel hearts, duckies, anything you can think of. There are stepping stools for those too short to reach the sinks. There’s a plastic handle and a faucet extender that looks like a friendly blue dolphin for anyone who wants to brush teeth or wash hands but is too small. There are also fish shaped bath mats that change colour when they get wet. And there’s a shower with a friendly dolphin shower head attachment that brings the water down lower for tinier children, as well as makes it come out more gentle. There are some foam letters and shapes that kids can stick to the glass or the walls and play with. Beside the tub, stuck to the wall, are also some water pouring toys like funnels and pipes, and water wheels. There’s a big mirror above the sink cabinets with a fishy pattern around the edges. Under the sink there is a dimensional storage where baby baths, baby bath seats and other things are stored. Infirmary Bathroom - this bathroom has clean white tiles on the floor and halfway up the walls and the rest of the walls have a minty blue colour with a pattern of cute medical objects like hearts with plus symbols in them, instruments you’d find in a toy doctor playset, bandaids, coloured pills, droppers, rubber gloves, scrubs and more. There is an in-ground tub with steps leading down into it as well as metal safety rails like for the disabled and a non-slip mat on the bottom of the tub and the steps that doubles as a massaging surface and is transparent light blue. The faucet and taps are covered with flower shaped protectors to prevent littles bumping their heads on them. Next is a white toilet with a child lock on it that has an acrylic seat with red hearts and silver glitter inside. The cabinets for the sink are the same minty blue shade as the wallpaper, just a little darker, and the counter top is white, with a plastic handle and a faucet extender that are shaped like flowers. The shower is in one corner and is open access for people in a wheelchair, with the same safety rails as the tub. On the walls are foam ABC, animals and other toys that stick to surfaces using water. There is a non-slip mat on the floor similar to the one in the tub. The shower has a smiling flower shower head attachment and works similar to the one in the bathroom by the living room. Just turn the handle of the shower to the right and water flows from the flower. This shower head is one of those detachable ones that can also be hung up in one spot. There are plenty of towels folded neatly in floor to ceiling shelves where any age can reach. These are pastel colours with the word infirmary printed along the top on either end in blue or white lettering. On the floor are big heart shaped bath mats that change colours when wet. There is a tall cupboard that works as another hammerspace, storing things like bath chairs for disabled children, bathing aids and equipment etc. There is also a medicine cabinet high up on the wall beside the counter which has a lock so only the staff can use it. There are stepping stools and other aids for small kids to reach wall hooks and the sink. The mirror is large and easy to see in. Office Bathroom - this is much more cheerful and bright than anyone would have suspected. It’s mostly filled with large, smooth, square and bright coloured tiles for the floor and white tiles halfway up the walls, the upper half of the walls are splattered with big polka dots that look like a watercolour brush or a round ink stamp made them. These are in each colour of the rainbow and really stand out on the white background. The toilet lid is acrylic and clear with big dahlia daisies inside it in bright colours. There is a shower curtain around a combined tub and shower, with big polka dots of different sizes and colours on the white material. The towels and other bathroom things are stored in white box shelves with the inside of each box being painted a different hue of the rainbow. The towels have bright colours and some have colourful patterns or stripes on them. Everything in this bathroom is cheerful. A bathmat near the sink is a pastel rainbow sitting on a long cloud that says Lucky in the middle, with stars sprinkled on the corners. To remind workers how lucky they are to work here and be part of this big family. This bathroom resonates positivity. The countertops have round smiley faces on them. The cabinets and the drawers of the sink counter are vertical stripes in bright hues. There is a wide, floor to ceiling mirror so workers can check their outfit and selves easily. There are also some padded cube shaped seats, one in hot pink, another lime and another emerald. These are covered with waterproof rubber which is the bright coloured material. The cabinets and drawers all have pocket dimensions in them and hold a great many items such a packs of new toothbrushes, hairbrushes, hair scrunchies and other decorations, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, hair straighteners and more. Big bathroom - This bathroom isn’t quite the same as the others. It’s designed more like a Japanese public bath house combined with a swimming pool locker room. On one side of the room there are wash stations made of half walls with a detachable shower (with a children’s shower attachment on each one, shaped like a ducky, a rainbow and cloud, a dolphin, starfish, frog, etc) as well as faucet and taps to sit and wash, which also have the children’s tap protectors fitted. There is a small ledge to put your items on like shampoo and conditioner, body wash etc. And at each seat and set of taps and shower, there is a mirror so you can see yourself washing to make sure you get all the dirt off. On the other side of the room there are some shower stalls and stall toilets like you’d find at a swimming pool. The toilets have locks on them for staff only. In the centre of the room is a big tub the size of a swimming pool but only the depth of a normal tub. On the bottom are designs of koi fish, lily pads and flowers. The tub is divided by four small walls like a plus sign that split it into four different parts. The tiled walls of the room are painted to depict murals of ponds and lakes in a large garden full of flowering trees and shrubs, deer, fairies, ducks with lots of cute ducklings, butterflies, birds, waterfalls and other such things. They are very peaceful scenery while also having a playful air that children would love. There are other smaller tubs of various shapes and sizes that are sunken in the ground for easier access. These have non-slip clear mats with yellow ducks on the bottoms and also have safety rails to hold onto when getting in and out. There are also ducky themed tap covers and shower attachments. Around the shower stalls, there are shower curtains with a white background and yellow rubber duck prints. These rubber ducks swim across wavy aqua patterns on the top and bottom hem of the curtain while the rest fill out the white space like a duck army. There are ducky themed bath mats around the tiled floors, which depict either yellow ducklings or their rubber ducky toy counterparts. There are silicone tubs full of ducky bath toys of every kind imaginable along with scoops to try and catch them from the water, as well as toy holders with yellow mesh bags attached to duck heads with orange bills, that suction onto the tile walls and hold more toys. Toys include wind up plastic ducks that can swim, a duck you pour water into its hat and then the water makes the eyes move and a waterwheel with coloured scoops rotate around its middle, a plastic water fountain that you sit in the bath and place rubber ducks to swim around and around the bubbler in the middle etc. There are also some large towel racks and storage cupboards all around the room that contain pastel coloured and white towels, hooded fluffy towels, baby bath seats of all sizes, small tubs for washing tiny babies and many more things. There are definitely special needs equipment as well, for people with disabilities. The floor tiles of the room are large, clean white squares with a sort of rougher grip to prevent slips and falls. Yes, there is an overall rubber duck theme but it feels like you’re bathing in the botanical gardens during spring in the duck ponds! The toilets also have…you guessed, ducky toilet seats. Clear acrylic with yellow rubber ducks inside them that have orange bills and cartoon eyes. The toilet stalls are private rooms only usable by staff members with key cards and there are 2. They have half sinks on the side of the walls with small mirrors. The doors of the stalls are one blue, one yellow and say staff only. Near the entrance of the room there are some simple changing areas where people can pull a curtain around a round rail looped on the side of the wall to get dressed in privacy. Mostly for adults/teachers. There are big laundry baskets to throw used towels in. Littles are changed out of their used diapers and dirty clothes in the changing room next door. They are then wrapped in towels once they are out of the bath or showers and are brought back to the changing room to be padded up again and redressed. The lights in this room are shaped like big white clouds hanging from the ceiling. Changing rooms: Medical changing room - the changing room in the infirmary has each wall a different pastel colour: mint green, lavender, blue and pink. There are wall decals of cartoon child doctors with stuffed animals bearing bandages, an eye patch, using a thermometer and other medical toys, like Doc McStuffins. There are also stickers of toy ambulances, bandaids, chibi nurses, hearts with plusses, pastel hearts, syringes, and other toy medical instruments. On the ceiling are heart shaped lights of different sizes with a soft glow. The ceiling is painted like a fluffy cloudy sky with white fuzzy fluff that has patches of blue peeking out and pastel glowing stars among them. There are four changing tables, two on each side. They are big enough to fit an adult and feature raised edges so the baby/child can’t roll off. These run horizontal to the walls, end to end. There are diapers, changing supplies and diaper genie bins and laundry hampers underneath in pull out drawers that can be large and deep. There is also a sink for washing hands, with a mirror.

Changing tables run around the entire wall covering up to halfway, with there being sunken parts in rows/beside each other that have a long padded changing mat with a childish or baby pattern or pictures on them. It looks like a daycare changing room but with longer change tables and mats to fit up to adult sizes. The tables have a safety strap. These change mats are able to be wiped clean. Underneath the tables/countertop are shelves and pull out drawers and bins that contain changing supplies, every diaper imaginable and more (pacifiers, lanyards, grooming tools, tissues, etc). The lights on the light aqua ceiling are softly lit and shaped like a bee, an aeroplane, a butterfly and a smiley cloud with a rainbow. Something for the kids to look at while being changed.

Living room change room - this changing room which joins onto the living room has a vinyl floor that looks like a grassy meadow with coloured flowers and clover sprinkled over it. The walls are a cheery light yellow with a long choo choo train travelling around all four walls that has many little cabooses in bright colours, each showing a cartoon animal having fun and doing something different. The main engine has a stack that puffs coloured clouds over the rest of the carriages. The lights on the sky blue ceiling are designed to look like balloons with strings hanging down that have a stuffed animal tied to each of them by their arm. The light in the middle looks like a cluster of balloons attached to a tiny house like the movie UP. There are butterfly, bird and other stickers on the sky ceiling. The changing tables are four in total, two per wall, end to end like in the medical changing room and also have rails so no one can roll off. Big enough to hold adults. With safety straps.

School change rooms x2 Number one - vinyl on the floor that looks like pastel jigsaw pieces in candy colours. The walls of this room look like light green blackboards with bright coloured alphabet letters and numbers on them as well as cute cartoon chalk drawings and emoji stickers. The ceiling is white with coloured shapes in bold colours, such as a triangle, square, octagon and so on. The lights are a chain of four thick jigsaw puzzle pieces each rimmed in a different primary colour. There is an air purifier, extraction fan and auto air freshener.

Playroom with ball pit - designed like an indoor play centre or play room at a daycare with mesh around the ramps and structures you can climb in the top right hand corner (soft play centre) that go along and up one wall, as well as some tunnels to crawl through and little rooms in the centre where several tunnels meet. Think of the daycare structures from FNAF Security Breach only on a much smaller scale. It doesn’t take up the whole room. Everything is brightly coloured and there are padded/medium density foam sections and furniture with vinyl coverings in bright colours. There are some slides, one wavy and one straight, as well as a spiral tunnel slide. The rest of the room has those padded, interlocking foam play mats in bright colours on the entire floor.

Keep in mind that older children can have toys for their age in their private, personal bedrooms. But in the playroom, all the kids can play so we need to make sure little ones can’t get hurt or choke on anything. Like a normal daycare, oodles of toys and different ways to play but everything is safe for little people. The play room is tidied and cleaned by the children and carers at the end of each day, working together as a team to keep it tidy. The teachers/carers also swap out toys and replace them with other toys throughout the week so it never gets boring and there’s always something new to play with. There’s a big pile of plushies and cushions to hide in as well. Whatever you can dream of in the perfect baby playroom! The walls are cream and are decorated with stickers of all kinds of toys, as well as crafts, drawings and paintings that the children have done. These also dangle from the ceiling and are pegged across lines of string that stretch across the ceiling. Like in a kindergarten school room. There are two play pens. There are some posters on the walls about ABCs, 123s, Animals, foods and more. There are also decals of cartoon characters on the walls. The ceiling lights look like coloured clusters of Christmas baubles that glow. Theatre - This is like a miniature cinema with enough padded foam seats covered with bright colours of vinyl for everyone. (Wipe clean in case of spilled soda or a leaky diaper) It has a big screen on the far wall and rows of seats, as well as beanbags and giant cushions to sit on. The room has dark blue sapphire carpet and walls with white stars sprinkled on them in different sizes. There are five pointed star shaped lights on the dark blue ceiling.

The computers and internet have parental controls on them and are monitored. The walls of this room are a smooth, rather bright purple and the ceiling is as well. The flooring is carpet from 90s arcades with a black background, deep blue swirls and neon starbursts. It’s a lot prettier than it sounds. The ceiling lights are a chandelier shaped like a big dark blue UFO the size of a round dinner table, with the round lights studding the outer part. There are also some strings of LED lights shaped like little rocket ships. If you want to play a game, you have to ask an adult to set it up for you for games targeted at older age groups, otherwise there are plenty of family friendly games for little ones preinstalled on consoles and computers. Both the music room and games room have sound proof walls. Laundry - this is a big room with a light grey and white colour scheme.

There are some green ferns and potted plants in here to accentuate it. There is ceiling light with a golden mesh frame as well as some small round downlights. It’s a good thing the laundry is right next to the back door that leads out to the yard and gardens, because there are rotary washing lines and post washing lines there in abundance. Laundry day sees them full of sheets, towels, clothing and cloth diapers. Entrance Hall/Lobby - where cloaks, raincoats, bags, shoes, umbrellas etc. can be put before entering the house. There are shoe racks, umbrella hooks and stands, hooks for hanging school bags, cloaks etc. There are also scrapers to scrape mud off of shoes. There’s a big welcome mat to wipe feet on before entering the main door to the home. The shoe racks have a padded seat on top, acting as benches to sit on and wait after knocking or ringing the doorbell. The floor is polished wooden boards and the walls are wood panelling. Infirmary - This room is rather long, with tall windows on the wall facing outside that are covered by fresh white blinds. There are some sinks and medicine cabinets in here. The floor is white laminate with pastel rainbow hearts. This has medical cribs with bars on them in different colours and comfy, adjustable mattresses that can sit the patient up or lay them down using a remote control, with cartoon printed curtains on rails above the beds to lend privacy for the patients if something medical is happening or they have an injury, are sick etc. The walls are mint green halfway up and white the rest of the way but on the white parts are pastel and bright coloured shapes and stripes like diamonds in four quarters or geometric patterns. There are health posters on the walls about body parts, washing your hands, brushing teeth and so on. There are also some eye test charts. Looks a bit like a colourful childrens’ hospital ward mixed with a school infirmary. There’s some weight scales and height charts in here too. There are cabinets around the room with medical supplies in them, both at ground level and higher up the walls. There are chairs beside the beds for visitors to sit in. There are decals and pictures of teddy bears on the ceiling reminiscent of the Care Bears. There are also medical trolleys with supplies and a few desks for the nurses to sit at and do computer and paperwork. They have filing cabinets under the desks. There’s some shelves with plushies and nurse dolls for the nurses to hand out to the patients. The nurses often do health checks and vaccinations here. But they can give first aid and some medical care if a student has an injury, such as stitching and bandaging a wound or applying a dressing. The nurses are usually caregivers of the residence who double with first aid skills. Basically how parents treat and care for sick children. In some cases, a doctor or ambulance can be called. Conservatory/indoor greenhouse - this contains miniature to medium trees (some with tiny fruit), shrubs cut into animal or other cute shapes, riots of colourful flowers and plants of all kinds, along with some water features such a little fish pond with sparkling rainbow guppies and a mini stream with a tiny wooden arched bridge over the middle, hanging egg shaped seats to relax in (called hammock chairs, swing chairs or egg chairs), some wooden slatted lounge chairs with cushioned mats, a painted white wrought iron table and chairs with cushions tied on them. Meandering little stone paths that wind around artfully designed garden beds and have inlays of tiles and stones shaped like flowers. The place is perfumed by some of the flowers and there are big windows with white lattice panels. There is a three tiered fountain carved with dancing fairies that has a small round wading pool at the bottom. The fountain sits in the centre. There is also a little rocky waterfall going down some stacked rocks into the little stream and some of those balls with water that bubbles over them. There are some solar lights planted in the garden beds that come on automatically during dull days and at night. Most of the light comes from the many large windows fitted with thick security glass and white wooden frames and lattices. At night you can see the stars. And a good view of storms and rain or snow. There really are bunches and oodles of flowers. There are some pretty paper lanterns strung in the indoor small trees. All around are painted statues of garden gnomes, fairies, toadstools, cats, frogs and other cute things. There are also some cute toadstool seats and miniature tables. The flowers are arranged to look like images of a smiley face, a big heart, a white ruffled teddy bear, a lollipop, a round birthday cake with a slice cut out etc. Garage - this large building is separate from the main house and sits beside it, connected by a stone paver walkway. Two cars, strollers for all ages, bikes, sleds, scooters, skateboards, carriages, etc. lawn mowers, snow blowers and shovels, gardening tools, sports equipment and outdoor play equipment, toolboxes, spare tyres, oil, petrol and stuff for cars, extension cords, hoses, pool accessories, ladders, step stools, kayaks, outdoor toys, camping gear, gazebos, small private plane…all the chemicals and products dangerous for kids are locked in cabinets. Basement - This room is climate controlled like the rest of the house. It contains the hot water heater, the furnace, the air conditioning system, the breaker panel and fuse box and for some odd reason, looks like a few empty stables and pet enclosures. There are also spares of things that might be needed in the house like replacement light bulbs and light fixtures, tools to do repairs, garden hoses, etc. There is some antique furniture plus rugs and carpets in rolls or hanging up. There is also a hidden panel in the floor that leads to some underground caves, concealed well to match the stone pavers and hidden beneath an enormous persian carpet.

Dangerous or extremely powerful items are kept in the locked walk in cupboard in the top left corner of the room. Door to this room is also locked with a lock that needs 5 keys and is hidden behind a huge painting in a heavy frame. Attic - This is a nice wooden attic with an A frame roof that leaves lots of space for standing. The wood is light, almost honey coloured and the basic light on the ceiling, though simple, provides a nice, white, airy illumination. It contains flatpacks and ready built furniture for nurseries that haven't been painted or decorated yet, new bedding, toys, gifts and such for new kids. Tins of paint, paintbrushes, rolls of wallpaper, paint scrapers, tarps, masking tape, and more supplies for making up and decorating bedrooms are in here.

Wooden boxes and crates full of stuff are stored here. There are some windows that look out over the gardens and surroundings of the orphanage and a couple that are slanted to match the angle of the roof and stare into the sky. Fun to watch rain or snow fall on the panes. Home gym - this room contains a home gym with a couple of treadmills facing a wall with a TV screen, a climbing wall with different coloured hand and foot holds, each colour representing a level of difficulty. There are some monkey bars and chin up bars painted in bright colours. There’s a ladder to practise climbing too. Some kids’ punching bags that look like angry birds and emoji faces.

The room walls are printed with a montage of 8 bit video game characters in a cartoon, side scrolling game similar to Mario Brothers. The ceiling is light blue with motivational words in bright colours across it like You Can Do It and Never Give Up. Schoolrooms - 1 is the first one closest to the office and the main entrance. It looks like a preschooler or kindergarten room mixed with an elementary room. There is a milkshake pink laminate floor with pictures of white, pink and red hearts of different kinds and a soft orange wall with a white skirting board. It holds a round white clock with magenta inside and white numbers and hands. The ceiling is white and has those long white halogen lights as well as bright, round, unlit lanterns dangling from the ceiling. There is a big whiteboard at the front of the class (back of each room) as well as a smaller black board and there are large cork board panels around the other walls, one which has a paper mural of a forest with butterflies and flowers. The walls are covered with colourful educational posters like times tables, sight words, ABCs, writing prompts and more. Covering an area in the middle of the room are pastel play mats that interlock, the ones made of foam. These are similar to those in the play room, only a paler colour scheme. Atop of this sit rows of desks with built in chunky seats, some sized for toddlers, with a sliding drawer underneath the top of the desk and under the chair seat, which curves around from the side. The seat and top of the desk are decorated with coloured images from cartoons and kids favourite shows. These desks grow bigger in size, to range through all the sizes up to teen and adult but their babyish designs remain the same. There are strings across the ceiling to hang student’s art and school projects as well as some crepe paper chains to add jollity. At the front of the room is the teacher's desk which is a contemporary curved bean shape and painted light green with images of red and pink apples on it, as well as some rolling trolleys full of workbooks and sheets and a deep set table on wheels full of fidget toys. There’s a couple of box shelves and display tables around the walls of the room to display student’s projects and work. And there are a few stacked racks of sliding filing trays with the trays being different candy colours. On the desks are built in raised circular holders for crayons and pencils and such. Schoolroom 2 - it’s like the first classroom, only slightly different. This is the one that sits next to the chapel. The floor of this room is a pale blue with images of pastel baby items on it such as bibs, bottles, diapers, pacifiers, rattles, a ring stacker, spinning top, ducky etc. The walls have a white background with what looks like painted handprints all over them in rainbow hues. There’s a big white board and smaller blackboard at the front of the room and all kinds of educational posters on the walls. Big cork boards are on the walls, one showing a paper collage scene of a teddy bears’ picnic. The teacher’s table at the front is shaped like a thick banana, painted yellow with white daisies that have smiley face emojis in the middle and flying around them are honey bees. The teacher’s chair is padded and on wheels and sits in the curved part. There’s a rolling trolley full of workbooks in cardboard cartons and worksheets. This one also has a deep set table on wheels full of fidget toys. There are box shelves and display tables around the sides of the room to display projects here too. The lights are white halogen ones and there are star shaped lanterns dangling down, unlit but brightly coloured. Crepe paper chains also decorate the ceiling. This room also has the candy coloured stacking filing tray things. This room has the interlocking baby flooring in the middle as well, just in slightly different pastel colours like pale blues, greens, purples, pinks etc. However, where the first classroom has toddler desks in all sizes, this one is a little different. The desks look like single person elementary school desks which are painted different pastel colours and have stickers on top and they have the sliding drawer/tray under them. However, the seats are another matter. These seats are plush animal shaped kiddy chairs. The desks and chairs range from toddler size all the way up to teen and adult. Some of them are standing animals that you have to straddle like you are riding them, others cup the person’s back with their arms while they sit on the toy’s lap. You can help but feel little and slightly ridiculous if you are older. Arts and Crafts room - this room has a laminate floor which is pale cream coloured with big, stylised paint splatter patterns on it. It also has some trails to follow such as pairs of footprints each in a different colour, flowers the same, the alphabet in different coloured shapes, stars, fish and blobs. These paths wind all around the room and desks. The walls are decorated with pastel Easter hues in smaller splatters, as well as a big rainbow in each corner, diagonal facing, with trails of butterflies coming from its ends. These walls also have some white panels with holes in them that hold hooks for safety scissors and craft tools, little shelves, baskets of pom poms or other craft supplies, cups of crayons, markers, etc, They hold rolls of stickers, containers of play doh, small naked dolls about three inches tall that kids can make clothes for from paper, play doh etc. There are also cork boards with children’s artworks pinned on them. There are strings of coloured flags across the ceiling, as well as lines to hang and peg children’s crafts and art. There are some multi layered stacking drying racks for lots of pictures to sit and dry. There are also some sinks to wash hands and cupboards of glass and plastic jars to wash brushes and get water for painting. There are hooks that hold plastic aprons and smocks to protect kids’ clothes, each with cute and bright designs or cartoons. There are also new supplies in a locked cupboard that carers can get to. This contains sharper scissors, more glitter, new packs of paintbrushes, replacement reams of paper, glue and more. The classroom has wooden furniture painted in bright and pastel candy colours like the wooden block series from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Some of the tables are oval or rectangular to fit multiple children, whereas others are smaller for just one or two. There is also a section where easels stand, each side having a whiteboard and a blackboard. You can clip sheets of paper to them with big bulldog clips so kids can paint and they have cut outs and holders to place paint pots, markers and crayons, water pots and other supplies. One the tables are plastic ice cream containers and caddies fully stocked with crafts materials like dry pasta, coloured cardboard, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, coloured feathers, foam shapes to glue onto things, washi tape, watercolour palettes, leaves, milk bottle caps, straws, dot a dot markers/bingo pens, string, and more. There are also some big craft paper rolls on rollers on the walls. Empty egg cartons are often used as paint holders, and there are other recycled craft supplies like cardboard boxes, magazines, paper towel roll tubes, and much more. The lighting in this room are ceiling lights that look like round clusters of butterflies in bright hues. It’s good lighting so kids can see what they are drawing and making without eye strain. There is also a shelf with a radio and CD player to listen to music, maybe kids tunes or classical music to inspire creativity. Basement stairs - this is a small closet that contains the wooden stairs leading down to the basement. They are well lit and have non-slip carpet stair treads on them so no one falls. The stairs have a sturdy railing to grab onto and protect from falling as well. There is a mat at the bottom. There is also a baby gate at the beginning of the stairs so younger kids can’t wander down there. Stairs up to bedrooms - like the basement stairs, these also have non slip stair treads to ensure safety. They are painted bright white with polished wood tops. The bannister is also white and has pretty carved white bars plus a rail you can slide all the way down if you’re careful. There is a baby gate at the bottom and top of the stairs so that babies and toddlers can’t get in any accidents. The stairs look beautiful during Christmas when they are decorated with tinsel and ornaments, bows, fairy lights etc. There are some simple down lights illuminating them so it’s easy to see where to tread. Spiral Stairs to Attic - much like the basement stairs, these are hidden in what looks to be an ordinary boring closet, but if you open the door and flick on the light using the switch, you’ll see a nice spiral staircase twisting upwards. It is tightly wound and made of polished wood the colour of light honey. There is a protective railing around it as well in matching tones. There is a baby gate at the bottom to prevent tiny ones going up there. These stairs are quite steep and rather smaller than the main staircase or the basement steps. Once you get to the top, the attic is quite airy and filled with natural lighting from the slanted skylight windows. Owner’s office - (keeps child records and talks to potential adopters) There’s a thick rectangular green rug covering the polished wood floors, a large wooden desk with carved legs and plenty of sturdy drawers. This holds a computer and large desk planner, lacy woven metal intrays with a pen holder cup and a telephone, among other things. There are shelves full of books and documents behind the desk. There are also pale pink, blue and cream filing cabinets locked and neatly kept, decorated with cute and colourful magnets. Little touches like a bouquet of flowers from the garden or conservatory and framed paintings of pretty scenes make it a welcoming room. The office is nice and the chairs are comfortable and easy to move around, being light cream in colour. The walls are a muted green grey shade with images of delicate tree branches frothing with white blossoms, tiny birds perched or flitting in them. There’s an all in one print, scan and copy machine on the far side of the desk. The ceiling is white and the light looks like a cluster of white bell shaped flowers upon winding light green vines studded with pale pink roses. Chapel - this little chapel is rather pretty, with stained glass windows standing tall and elegant at the wall facing outdoors. It has a polished wood floor covered by a luxurious persian rug. The wooden chairs are covered with comfortable padded cushions. There stands a simple yet pretty altar at the front and centre made of painted white wood with a pretty tablecloth and an alcove with a simple praying figurine in it. There are candle holders with white wax candles and there is an ornate incense burner as well. Gold and white lanterns hang from the walls and a crystal chandelier from the middle of the ceiling. There are fresh bunches of white flowers in crystal vases. Arched, small alcoves with rounded ledges hold more praying statues. On the backs of each pew are little ledges for resting your holy book or hymnals on. This chapel is a pretty and peaceful place with lovely carvings on the rounded, arched ceiling of flowers and animals. The extremely odd thing about this nice chapel is that there are no religious symbols or statues of any kind. They are just simple praying figurines. There’s no icons or paintings. It would seem that this place is for those who would like to come there and pray and worship whichever gods they follow. This is a place for all to use. It is non denominational. Waiting area - the waiting area has plenty of comfortable, squishy chairs, each in a soothing pastel shade, seated in a circle around a big round rug. There are small side tables with magazines. The rug is fluffy, thick and with a pastel rainbow colour scheme. Like pale chalk, the purple, blue, green, pink, yellow and orange delicately mottle together like a watercolour painting. This is where potential adopters and visitors are told to wait until the owner calls them into her office to talk. Storage closets/linen closets- walk in - the orphanage has no shortage of storage and these closets are actually much bigger inside than they appear on the outside. Again, the wonderful pocket dimensions have been used, meaning that copious amounts of sheets, pillow cases, quilts, blankets, tea towels and much more can be stored in them. Everything is neatly organised and labelled, each being put in its correct place. Easy to find and easy to put away. Hallways - the halls of the orphanage have polished wooden floorboards and have light cream coloured walls with skirting boards at the top and bottom. There are framed paintings hanging up that show picturesque scenes like an English cottage or a botanical garden, a beach with coloured umbrellas and so on. Places anyone would like to be. Perhaps to remind the occupants of the outside world. Upstairs - kids’ bedrooms, staff bathrooms, staff room, staff bedrooms Kids’ rooms - these are each different and decorated in a theme the child themselves chooses (e.g. teddy bears, doll house, princess room, nautical) and they look like a baby nursery of various sizes. Empty rooms are plain and bare with polished wooden floors and white cream walls. They look a lot better when they are occupied and decorated. Staff bedrooms - these are decorated however the staff member prefers. They usually look like miniature homes, showing things the person likes, their hobbies, their fashion style and so on. They are places for the caregivers to relax and spend some alone time. Staff room - this room is full of comfortable couches and chairs as well as some long tables with bright coloured plastic chairs and a small kitchenette on one wall. There are some bookshelves, a radio and CD player, charging ports for phones, laptops and such, a small fridge, a few desks, a small TV on the wall, a dishwasher and sink, microwave, cupboards with tea cups and coffee mugs etc. This is where staff can go on break. There are a couple of vending machines selling drinks, foods and snacks. A water cooler. There is a small ping pong table set and some bookshelves. It’s sort of like a library meeting room. The floor is linoleum and is white with watercolour flowers and leaves. The walls are a light grassy green with flower decals and butterflies on them. The staff room is large and has three doors for easier exits around the home. Staff bathrooms - these 5 separate bathrooms have white tile floors and painted white walls and ceilings, with sleek, clean downlights. However, they are spotlessly clean. Each one is like a private bathroom in a house, containing a bathtub, shower, toilet, sink and cabinets, laundry hamper, towel rack and so on. Each bathroom has its own matching set of accessories to decorate it. One shower curtain, bath mat, shower mat, toilet seat cover and toilet mat adds a lot of personality and colour to each room, making them come to life. One set is pictures of butterflies, there’s a flowery one, a beach image one, sakura blossoms and colourful parrots. These bathrooms are for staff only and the doors are locked for anyone without a swipe/key card. Staff wear their key cards (which also have their name and picture for ID) either pinned to their clothes or on lanyards. Children are expected to bathe and perform grooming and hygiene tasks in the downstairs bathrooms. Outdoors - big backyard with several playgrounds for different ages, open lawn, hopscotch, bounce house, trampoline, meandering paths, washing lines, flower garden, fruit n veg gardens, treehouse fort, trees and bushes, wishing well, fountain, miniature hedge maze, swimming pools
