House of the lost ( any can join in)

[baby frost]

Aurora nodded when Castile asked if she wanted her muffin warmed but shook her head at the butter option. She then listened to his milk options and clapped happily when she heard strawberry.” Scawbewwy miwky pease” she said smiling as she watched him turn and talk to Miss Lily. She noticed Sam reaching for her and knew she wouldn’t be able to reach him but held her hand out for him to grab and gave him a reassuring smile.

[YunicornSparkles]

“That’s a boy,” Darla replied in a comforting tone, pleased with his manners and good behaviour, leading him gently into her office and helping him find the bench seat. She then sat across from him at her desk and began asking questions about his health, whether he had any allergies or health conditions he knew of, and patient information, filling out the forms she brought with her, the scratching of her pen rather nice sounding. 

Once that was done, she ushered him onto the digital scale, recording his weight and then his height. She measured his wings with a measuring tape and asked about his flying ability and any other powers or skills he might have. Then, she also took his blood pressure, deftly writing everything down. Ms Darla then used some instruments, looking into his ears, eyes and mouth, checking his vision, hearing and head circumference, using a stethoscope to listen to his heart and lungs, plus a few other things. 

Once all of that was done, she smiled at Ry and said “Well done. That’s everything I needed from you. Thanks for your cooperation. Let me just check one more thing before I bring you over to Kate”. 

Darla stood up from her chair and stepped around her desk, getting Ry to lean forwards as she pulled out the back of his diaper and gently squeezed the bottom of the padding to test for fullness or wetness. “Hmm…diaper status is…” 

=======================================================

He chuckled at her cute display, realising how much she liked strawberries. “That’s one of your favourite flavours, isn’t it? Well it’s a good one. Okay, strawberry milk…” he repeated, making a mental note, giggling to himself at the adorable way Aurora pronounced it. 

He then paid attention to Lily and Samuel, saying the order back to confirm that too. “Pancakes with offered toppings and a heated plain milk in a baby bottle. Got it. Tropical smoothie bowl. Jasmine tea. Okay” he said, making the hand sign for ‘okay’ while grinning. 

Castile carefully put in everyone’s orders, tapping the screen and double checking the whole order before pressing submit. He then went over to grab two of the bibs that were kept there for messy littles and brought them back to the kids, handing one to Lily. “Here you go; the server should bring breakfast out in five to ten minutes”. 

Turning back to Aurora, he showed her the bib. “Look, I found you one with Strawberry Shortcake on it. I looked through all the bibs to find her,” he said, gently fastening it around Aurora’s neck. “Food will be out very soon”. 

He noticed that she and Samuel were holding hands and smiled at the cute sight. It was nice of her to be there for Sammy and comfort him like that. 

=========================================================

Lily looked down at the bib Castile got and grinned at the design on the fabric. It showed two soft pastel hippos together. She showed the little boy before putting it on him “Sammy, look, Castile found one with hippos! Let’s put it on now so you’ll be ready to eat”. 

And true to Castile’s word, five minutes later, a server brought out trays with all their food and beverages, placing them on the table and asking if there was anything else needed. 

Lily helped Castile put the right breakfast items and drinks on each highchair tray, before sitting a the table beside Sammy’s highchair, while the cat sat beside Aurora’s. Lily clasped her hands together and prayed “Dear God, thank you for this food”. With that, she picked up her spoon. “Alright - let’s eat!” the frog lady said cheerfully, scooping up some of the fruit and smoothie bowl and putting it in her mouth, chewing happily. 

==========================================================

Castile meanwhile, started in on his big breakfast platter, eating neatly but taking large bites. He looked at the kids.

“Do you need any help eating, Aurora? Sammy?” he said, “Or do you want to try to feed yourselves today? Miss Lily and I will feed you if you want”. He said with a friendly smile.

He noticed that both Aurora, Samuel and himself had bacon on their plates, Samuel’s being part of the different toppings he could choose to put on the pancakes along with maple syrup, butter, whipped cream and other small bowls of stuff. 

[diaperdragonry]

What was heard when Darla squeezed the dinosaur train padding on ry was a giant squish, as ry had a accident earlier today it was even more prominent as his butt was squished between the poop not that ry minded besides blushing a tiny bit at this "Mrs Darla do I need a change" ry asked not knowing how messy his pampers were.

[Grumvakk]

Samuel smiled and squeezed auroras hand and waited for his food as Miss lily fastened the bib around him. He watched as Miss Lily and Mr. Castile talked until the food came and he looked at the options that came with his pancakes. Samuel picked up some of the chocolate chip and put them on the pancakes and tried to pick up the bottle of maple syrup but couldn’t, lift it.

[baby frost]

Aurora smiled back at Samuel before Castile came back with the bibs. She giggled and clapped likingthe strawberry shortcake bib.” Tank you” she said to Castile and soon the food was there she let everything get sorted out before digging into her muffin with her hands enjoying the yummy moist blueberry treat

[YunicornSparkles]

“Messy”, Darla concluded, noticing it was wet, as well. The smell wafted up from the diaper, making her wrinkle her nose slightly. “Yes, you do need a change, Sweetie. Your diaper is quite full. Here, come with me to the bed, over here,” she said, taking his hand and gently leading him over to the padded and flat medical bed that had paper sheeting on it for hygiene reasons, as well as a paper cover on the pillow. The curtain was already pushed back. Darla moved a stepping stool out from under the bed and pressed a button on the bed to lower it down so he could climb onto it. 

“Lay down and I’ll take care of that for you,” she instructed sweetly, with a smile, reaching under the table and taking out a box of changing supplies and a clean, folded diaper, which was the Rearz Lil’ Monsters design but with a hole designed for the dragon’s tail. 

Above Ry, on the ceiling, a baby mobile was hanging, which had little dinosaurs slowly spinning around. “Let’s get you cleaned up before I take you over to Kate’s office. Can’t have you smelling up her room,” she giggled, starting to unfasten the diaper tapes as soon as he was laying down. She pulled out some large wet wipes from a warming container and began cleaning him up, humming softly while she did so. 

“When Kate gives you back to Nanny Lynn, she can take you to the dining hall to get some food. When was the last time you ate, Darling?” Darla asked, concerned, as she continued changing him. 

If Mrs Lynn heard that Castile and Lily were taking Aurora and Samuel on a trip to the aquarium today, Ry might be able to join them, so long as Mrs Lynn came along and watched over Ry. "By the way, no need to hold back on the amount you eat, as we have enough food to match any dragon's appetite. So eat as much as you want for breakfast, okay Honey". 

====================================================

Lily put down her spoon after taking another bite of fruit and smoothie puree, chewing and swallowing before she said; “Here, Sugar Plum, let me help you with that!”. 

Leaning over, Lily picked up the large bottle of pure maple syrup and held it above the pancakes. “Okay, how much do you want? Say when…” she advised, slowly dripping a little bit of the syrup onto the pancake, little by little, so he could stop her at the right moment. “Is this enough?” She didn’t wanna put too much and drown the pancakes and make them soggy. 

She helped him put any other toppings on the pancakes and then cut them into bite sized pieces for him, saying “This will be easier to eat, Mr Cool Guy. Little bites for a little mouth. Open wide for the cargo train…” Lily stabbed a piece of the pancake on his fork and brought it to his mouth, making a soft “Choo choo…” noise as she waved the fork around before depositing the bite into his mouth. “Eat up! Is it yummy?” 

While Sammy was chewing, she fed herself more of her own breakfast, accidentally dripping some purple smoothie on her froggy print smock dress. “Oops! Maybe I need a bib too!” she giggled, grabbing a napkin and wiping the spill. She then tucked a paper napkin into her collar and continued eating, laughing at her mishap, feeding Samuel more bites in between eating her own food. His bottle of warm milk was waiting on the side of the highchair tray when he needed a drink. 

=====================================================

“You’re welcome, Princess!~ Enjoy!” Castile responded to Aurora’s thanks, watching her dig into her sweet yet healthy breakfast food. “Don’t forget your crispy bacon strips”, he reminded her, so they wouldn’t go cold before she could eat them, munching away at his own plate of nosh. “We got a lot to do and see today at the aquarium, so you’ll need as much energy as you can”. 

Hearing footsteps coming in behind him, Castile turned to see none other than Mr Balverk in his customary suit, along with a man who must be Mr Goodie, who was carrying some fully packed diaper bags and pushing a twin stroller. He was also carrying a bag that had a picture of a cellphone on it. His ears and tail pricked up "Oh!"

====================================

Mr Balverk smiled at the sight of his new nannies and kids in the dining room, walking over to their table and greeting the group. 

“Good morning, everyone. It’s nice to see you all here, so bright eyed and bushy tailed. I have brought Mr Goodie to meet and talk with you, once you all finish eating. He has some new phones to give to the kids, and their shopping cards as well, for if they want to buy anything on their outings. Plus, he has prepared a double stroller and packed diaper bags for Aurora and Samuel, for their aquarium visit today. I hope it’ll be a fun little outing for you all,” he said cheerfully.

“No need to rush. I am going to get myself something from the kitchen, so please take your time. Mr Goodie and I will be over at another table talking, until you are ready for our presentation”. 

He then remembered something he was told this morning “Oh, by the way, we have a new boy that just arrived this morning. A little dragon named Ry. He might join you for breakfast, along with Nanny Lynn, soon. Would you mind if he wanted to come to the aquarium with you guys today? He hasn’t made any friends yet and I think it would be a good bonding experience”. 

[diaperdragonry]

"ok Ms Darla thank you and I ate I believe 30 minutes ago" ry said smiling as he watched her wipe his big butt and wee wee clean of his accident "Mrs Darla do any of the diapers have dragons or t rex's on them those are my favorite ones and I'm also guessing your gonna dress me," ry asked her curiously as he watched her remove his clothes to get him some clean ones to wear.

[Grumvakk]

Samuel watched Aurora start to eat and then Ms Lily as she cut up the pancakes and he opened his mouth as she fed him bites of the pancakes. He watched as Ms Lily dropped some of her smoothie and he clapped a little giggling coughing a little on a chocolate chip and spits it out.

[baby frost]

Aurora nodded before digging into her bacon as well enjoying the salt and sweet combination. She smiled as she saw the two men come over and start talking to Castile 

[YunicornSparkles]

“You’re most welcome, Sweetheart,” Ms Darla replied, hearing that he ate not long ago. “Oh, so you won’t be hungry then. Well, it might be a good idea to meet up with the other new children anyway and get something to drink and snack on”. 

She expertly cleaned the dragon’s smooth scales, dropping the wipes into the used diaper before bundling it up and putting it in a diaper genie beside the medical bed. When she was about to slide the new diaper under him, she paused, listening to his questions. “Oh, you don’t want monsters? Okay, um, let me see here…” She put the unfolded diaper back away and took out a Tykables Little Rawrs with a blue T-Rex on the landing zone. “Will this do, Honey? We have lots of dragon and dinosaur diapees. Thank you for letting me know those are your favourite”. 

She opened the clean diaper fully and smoothed it out before gently touching his thigh with a command “Bottoms up, legs in the air”. Once he did that, she slipped it under his tail and stuck the tape at the back that went over top of the tail, then began to rub in baby oil onto his diaper area, adding sweetly scented baby powder afterwards that drifted onto him softly. She lightly rubbed it in and cleaned her hands on a wipe before she pulled the diaper closed, taping it all secure and making sure the leak guards around the leg and tail holes were all standing. 

Ms Darla began removing his dirty and worn clothing, putting them in a hamper to be taken to the laundry later. “Well, I am not going to dress you myself, but the nannies over at the nanny station will certainly find you something cute to wear,” she informed the young dragon boy. “You’ll have to waddle around in just a diaper for a little while until Kate has finished her interview”. 

Kate was the social worker who would make the reports and collect paperwork about children’s previous caregivers. She would then inform lawyers where they were and have investigators go out and find more information about the former living situation, why the children have come to the mansion and whether criminal charges need to be laid against the caregivers. They’d put notes on the children’s files, for protection and to make sure their abusers never found them or came near them again. 

“Well, that’s it, all fresh and clean. Now, I’ll take you to Kate’s office. Come on”. So saying, Darla reached out to help Ry sit up, taking his hands like he was a small toddler and pulling them as he righted himself, then assisting him to step down off the side of the table onto the stepping stool, only letting go once she saw his feet were firmly planted on the floor. She took his hand in her warm, soft one and led him out of her office, past the other nurses, who smiled and made comments about how cute he looked. She knocked on Kate’s door. “Kate? I have the new boy for you. And he needs to be taken to the nannies’ station after he sees you”.

The brunette woman who had a stern looking face, aka resting bitch face, looked up from her desk work and smiled. 

“Sure, leave him with me. I’ll escort him there once we are done”. She then looked at Ry and although she seemed scary when talking to other adults, her face softened and she sounded more kind when speaking to him. “Hello there, Ry. Please, come, take a seat. I am just going to talk to you about your previous circumstances that led to you ending up here. That’s all. After that, the nannies will help you get some new clothes and decide how to decorate your bedroom here. Oh, is that a blue T-Rex on your diaper? Very cool! Come on now, I don't bite...”. 

========================================

“Oh you think that’s funny, do you?!” the frog girl asked Sammy playfully before he nearly breathed in a chocolate chip, getting up to pat him on the back, seeing him spit it out. “Be careful, don’t choke on your breakfast! Chocolate chips don’t go in your lungs,” she said jokingly, but soothing at the same time, taking a paper napkin and wiping his mouth. “Here, I’ll get you a sip of milk” she said, picking up the warm baby bottle and putting the teat in his mouth “Drink” she commanded gently, “It will help. There you go, you’re alright…that’s my boy~” she cooed. “Now, eat this bite slower. Chew it carefully…” she stated, picking up a new piece of yummy fluffy pancakes on the kiddy fork and gently popping it into his mouth with soft choo choo train noises. 

While feeding him, she continued to finish her breakfast, at last pushing her empty bowl away and taking sips of the warm jasmine tea to wash it down, happily rubbing her full belly. She was surprised when Mr Balverk and Mr Goodie turned up, listening to them talk while nursing her teacup in her hands. 

“Good morning,” she returned the greeting, looking at the man standing beside Mr Balverk. He seemed to have an honest and open expression. ‘So, this is Mr Goodie’, she thought, ‘what a funny name. I hope he’s as nice as his name suggests’. 

She listened to the rest of what the mansion’s owner said, wondering what kind of phones the kids would be given. Hopefully not a new smartphone. Those were bad for kids. $500 was a lot of money for allowance, too. She’d try to make sure that the kids made wise choices when using their cards, not letting them spend it on junk or something they’d get bored of or not use. Maybe she could use it as a teaching opportunity about budgeting and maths. 

She saw the double stroller and diaper bags and was thankful for them. Little ones in diapers definitely needed changing supplies and a change of clothes in case of accidents. She’d been wondering who to ask about getting those things. “Thanks, I’m sure we’ll have a nice time,” Lily said to Mr Balverk. “As their nannies, we’ll try to make it a rewarding and educational experience”. 

Lily was again surprised, hearing about Ry. “A dragon; wow! I wouldn’t expect that. Of course I wouldn’t mind, so long as he’s well behaved. Everyone needs friends. I’m sure Sammy and Aurora would be excited to meet someone like him and they’ll all warm up to each other over the course of the day,” Lily said, optimistic. She did kind of worry about how he would be out in public and around human kids but then she remembered Castile, also a magical creature, sitting right next to her.

Other species weren’t extremely common in this world so they were bound to get lots of stares but if anyone tried to cause trouble, she was sure Castile and herself could protect the kids and handle the situation. She just hoped Ry was a good, friendly child and not prone to flying indoors, biting, scratching, breathing fire and that kind of thing. When the two men moved to another table, out of earshot, she reminded herself that she wanted to ask Mr Balverk a question about the rose. 

=========================================

Castile watched Aurora eat, glancing at her every so often to make sure she was fine and not getting too messy, plowing through his plate of food at a quick rate, the plate almost empty after 10 minutes while the little girl took small bites of blueberry muffin and crunched on chewy bacon, washing her meal down with strawberry milk. He looked up when he heard footsteps and the sounds of a stroller wheeling over the floor, spotting Mr Balverk and Mr Goodie before they reached the table, thanks to his feline sight and hearing. 

He waited till they got closer and showed a polite grin, “Morning!” Castile’s tail swayed happily when Mr Balverk complimented them being up this early, all dressed and ready for their big adventure. “Greetings,” Castile said towards Mr Goodie as he was introduced, bobbing his head in acknowledgement. Hearing about the phones and cards did make the cat curious but he’d wait to find out more once the kids were done with breakfast. He hoped the phones were just so the kids had a lifeline to adults or other orphan friends at the manor, and not smart phones that were addictive and full of social media. Though he was sure that Mr Balverk was way smarter than to give them that. He was definitely a generous man. Castile eyed the full diaper bags, seeing the one for Sammy was fireman themed and the one for Aurora was princess themed. Easy to tell whose was whose. How thoughtful! He also noticed that the double stroller was sized for bigger children, so Sammy and Aurora would feel little when sitting in the seats being pushed around. He figured he’d do the pushing if their legs got tired, since he was strong enough to without getting tired from the weight of two kiddos. It was probably best to have them strapped in the stroller in crowded areas or when moving from one section of the aquarium to the other. That way, they wouldn’t get lost or kidnapped, or run off suddenly in excitement, wanting to look at something. Underneath the stroller were storage space for the two diaper bags, thankfully. So the nannies wouldn’t be lugging those on their shoulders all day. 

“Sure!” he answered when Mr Balverk pointed to the table across the room where they would be at. He was glad they said to take their time, since he didn’t want to rush the little ones with their meal. Castile’s ears pricked up when Mr Balverk said there was a newcomer to the mansion. “Ohh, a dragon. How unexpected”, he remarked, intrigued.

“I haven’t seen one of those for a long time. I wonder which kind he is. Either way, I’m with Miss Lily. We’d be glad to have the new boy along. He’ll be safe with us two and his own nanny. And being a magical creature myself, I’ll protect him and look out for him. I’m sure he’d feel better knowing he’s not the only one who’ll stand out”. He then looked at Aurora and Samuel.

“What do you guys think about that? Are you okay with Ry joining our trip to the aquarium? He’s a dragon but he’s only a child, like you two, so I’m sure he won’t be that big. You never know, you all might become good friends. Don’t be scared, Aurora. I won’t let a dragon kidnap my pretty princess,” Castile said, giving Aurora a playful wink to make her laugh. He then said “It’s nice to give new people a chance. I’m sure Ry is going to be lonely, just like you two when you first got here. Remember…all kids who come here have no family. And Ry should be wearing diapers like you both, so you will have that in common”. 

Castile waited for the kids to finish eating, downing the rest of the scrumptious feast off his plate (managing to prevent himself from licking it), as well as draining the energising cappuccino, licking the froth moustache from his top lip with a small purr. He loved dairy. Once they were all done eating, he would grab the wet wipes from his duffle bag and begin cleaning them up. “Ready to go see Mr Balverk and Mr Goodie, babies? I hear that Mr Goodie has presents for you!”

[diaperdragonry]

"Alright then" ry said as he waddled up and sat in the seat infront of kate" well Mrs Kate yes this is a t rex I tend to always ask for either dragons t rex's, Spider-Man my favorite superhero paw patrol blues clues seaseme street mlp or bluey yes I love mlp I can't help it one of my favorite shows I've seen also in essence I was born 12 years ago in a dark blue and black egg in a nest apon hatching I noticed that no one was around which probably meant I was either abandoned or taken away sadly enough so I had to learn my way around the world. Luckily we dragons learn mega fast so I had learn to read write draw and talk all by the age of 2 diaper changes were much harder given I had no one around to help, and as for my clothes I found those in a box on the outskirts of the city and seeing as they were abandoned with no one around I figured I could use them seeing as I had nothing but an old paw patrol diaper on so after that I learned more as I studied what I could at the library as for my age I'm 12 years old turning 13 next week I weigh 157 pounds and am at the height of 6'2 at least in terms of dragons though we do grow to around 9'11 along adult hood and also I always have my stuffie blue dog with me he's 12 like me and was in my one strap backpack that was put in the Cubbi any other questions " ry asked smiling at her.

[YunicornSparkles]

Kate began to write quickly in Ry’s file as he spoke, astonished that the information just poured forth without her needing to ask any questions, or needing to prompt the boy. He was tall for a 12 year old, about the size of an adult human, in fact. Yet he definitely stated that he was 12, so still a child, despite his appearance. She would have to make sure others knew that so he wasn’t mistaken for a caregiver or adult while in public.

Nodding along to show she was listening, Kate scribbled down the kinds of diapers and fandoms he was into, so that the manor staff could use those while caring for him. 

“There’s nothing wrong with a boy liking My Little Pony, or things that are gendered towards girls. You don’t have to explain yourself, Hon. No one is allowed to bully you here. You’re free to like what you like”. 

She then listened to his backstory, up until he came to the orphanage, writing down the main points. 

“So, you hatched all alone and then raised yourself? That sounds like it would have been very lonely or hard at times,” Kate frowned, “You don’t need to worry about that any more. You’ve been love starved but now you should get all the TLC you need,” she explained, making notes in his file. It was amazing that he'd grown up so well adjusted and polite, even though he had no one to teach him social skills or manners.

“Everyone deserves somebody who cares about them. I am sorry whoever made your egg wasn’t around to raise you. Sounds like you have a lot of catching up to do. I’m glad you found your way here”. 

Kate was impressed that he had learned all the basic life skills on his own. It was lucky his species was a kind that matured rapidly, in some ways. But in other ways, not so much. He shouldn’t have had to be isolated for so many years. She wondered if she could send a private investigator to find whoever had stolen his egg, way back when. They might be stealing other dragon eggs too. 

“You had to change your own diapers, all that time? You poor thing!” Kate said sympathetically. 

“Well, it’s very impressive that you taught yourself all of that, since there was no one to help you. But I am sorry you had to spend 12 years alone. Now that you’re with us, just relax and let the manor take care of you. You don’t have to try to be a grown up any more and we’ll protect you from grown ups. We do have a school on the grounds to further your studies but usually give the new kids a week or so to settle in before starting classes. Your story is very different from most children here. I think it’s a special case. But I’m glad that there is no one from your past that wants to hurt you. I will send an investigation to find out what happened to your parents, if I can”

She finished writing and closed his file, putting it aside to scan into the computer system later. “I just have one last question for you. You said it was your birthday next week? We celebrate birthdays here. Is there anything you want to do for it?” Kate asked him. 

“I’ll take you to Nanny Lyn next”.

[Grumvakk]

Samuel sipped on the bottle of milk and he ate more of what Miss Lily fed him. He looked and listened to Mr. Balverk looking at the double stroller. Samuel ate more of his breakfast making a mess of his face with the chocolate chips and syrup as he listened about the new little that may be joining them. As he thought it he saw Mr. Balverk produce two smart watches and hand one to each of the Nannies explaining that they acted as tracking devices connected to their tablets incase littles got separated from them.

[diaperdragonry]

"well I've always wanted to go out to the movies and Dave&busters as I've never been there before usually I tend to have to stay away since a kid like me can't go off on his own, and honestly I don't think your gonna find them from what I've heard and remember even after hatching that a lot of older dragons tended to die by 45 do to heart failure for me I'm a special case as my heart tends to be so calm that it doesn't even beet so yeah seems I'm kinda immortal from death as you can see also forgot to mention this but I am autistic and have low blood sugar so if I'm sleepy all of a sudden it's mainly because I don't have food in me, and I heard Spider-Man 2 was playing in theaters I would love to go see that movie also Ms Kate I do have a tablet to help me write since my writing skills aren't that good", ry said with a giggle knowing that he could't write the right way without it looking like crap.

[baby frost]

Aurora finished her muffin and bacon before nursing her bottle as she watched the adults talk. She was a bit nervous about the dragon but didn’t want to say anything as she nodded to Castile and just drank her baba listening to the information and giving her diaper a good soaking.

[YunicornSparkles]

((Thanks for waiting, everyone! I got sick a LOT lately and kept being too tired or unwell to get my rp posts done. This is a very long reply but am hoping from here they get shorter lol))

 

Lily saw Samuel eying the stroller and hoped he wouldn’t make a fuss about being put in it. He was eating well this morning and had a good appetite. Although that could’ve been because his breakfast had a lot of sugar and was essentially a kind of junk food. She’d have to make sure they had a healthy morning tea and lunch. 

Lily was taken off guard when Mr Balverk took some smart watches and handed one to her and one to Castile. She thanked him and took it out of the box, fastening it onto Samuel’s left wrist. 

“Look, Sammy! Mr Balverk gave you a present. A brand new smart watch. Isn’t that nice?” she asked him cheerfully. The watch had a soft, rubbery wristband (likely silicone), so it’d be comfortable on delicate child skin. It was blue and the face of the watch was a smooth rectangle that was durable and wouldn’t break easily during regular play.

“This will make sure that you and Aurora don’t get lost. And if you do, it will help us find you,” she explained. “Do not take this off under any circumstances,” she told him. “I’ll let you take it off at the end of the day, when we get back home, if you want to”. 

Once Samuel was done eating and full up, Lily helped Castile wipe him clean with a soft damp cloth, removing the bib to take to the laundry hamper. She then took the boy out of the highchair and balanced him on her hip, getting ready to talk to Mr Balverk and Mr Goodie before they would leave. Mr Goodie was going to be the one driving them to the aquarium today. “Okay, let’s go over and have a chat with those lovely gentlemen who greeted us this morning,” she cooed. 

Lily approached their table and sat down across from them, setting Samuel on her lap, her arms loosely holding him as she patted him to keep him calm. “Hi there, sirs. We’re ready when you are,” she said brightly, “Don’t mind Sammy; he’s a little shy”. 

=====================================

Castile took the watch from Mr Balverk and thanked him, strapping it around Aurora's left wrist. Hers was pink and had the same spongy wristband as Samuel’s. “Like Miss Lily just said; this will help us track you down if we get separated. So no taking it off, okay?” he told Aurora, his voice loving but firm. 

Once she was done eating, he cleaned her off with wet wipes and tossed them in the bin, removing her bib and letting it join the other used bibs in the laundry hamper. Castile noticed her body language was signalling nervousness and deduced it was probably about Ry joining them. Aurora and Samuel were both pretty shy people. He hoped that Ry would make a good impression on the two and they’d start to feel more comfortable as they spent the day together and got to know each other. His height and species were going to work against him but his speech, actions and personality would hopefully balance that out and prove that he was trustworthy. That he was just a kid, like them. 

Castile picked Aurora up from her highchair once she was clean, also holding her to his side, making sure her dress was swept under her bottom and not scrunched around her legs. “Alright, everyone ready?” he asked, looking around the table and high chairs, seeing all their breakfast was eaten. “Let’s go and have a talk to Mr Balverk and Mr Goodie and see what presents they have for you”. 

The cat taur stepped towards the table the two men sat at, noticing how the staff of the kitchen were extremely polite and worked fast around them, giving the owner of the mansion due respect. 

“Hello again Mr Balverk, Mr Goodie. We’ve finished breakfast with the little ones and we’re ready to talk,” he said calmly, his hind paws sitting while the tail wrapped around his flank. “You say you have something to give to Aurora and Samuel today?” 

Castile could smell that Aurora’s diaper was wet. But her bladder was only small, and the diapers were high absorbency, so it could probably take two more wettings before it needed a change, likely in a couple of hours. 

======================================

Mr Balverk spoke first, smiling politely. “Hello, Miss Green, Mr Lightswirl. Thank you for joining us today. That’s okay. Little ones are often shy. Though, hopefully, they’ll get to know both of us and we’ll seem less scary one day,” he said with a chuckle. 

Blue eyes shifting to Castile, he nodded. “We do indeed! Something that we give to all of the children who come to live at the manor. I’ll let Mr Goodie present them to you now”. He looked over to his colleague expectantly.

=======================================

Mr Goodie, a young looking man in a three piece blue suit with a striped tie, was sitting beside Mr Balverk and seemed eager to give out his gifts. 

“Right you are, Sir!” 

He grinned as he took two kids’ smart phones out of his bag, placing one on the table in front of Castile and one in front of Lily. “Yes, yes, I have them right here. One for you, Samuel, and one for you, Aurora. These are brand new phones, as you can see. You both get your very own phones to use while you are with us. Isn’t that exciting? They can be used to call your nannies, or other children that live at the manor. You can also send messages to your friends and caregivers. Those are their two basic functions”

He pushed the phones across the table towards the others, watching the nannies pick them up and show them/offer them to the kids sitting on their lap and in their arms. Aurora’s one was a girls’ model, so it was pink. Samuel’s was a boys’ one, and was blue. Each of the phones had a bead necklace made of large, colourful plastic beads in bright colours attached to it. This meant the kids could wear their phones around their necks and never lose them. 

When the phones were turned on, they had a display screen which showed a ‘quick dial’ feature and contained each child’s name, plus the nurses’ station, nannies’ station and Mr Goodie’s number. Samuel’s phone had his name on it in black letters, and so did Aurora’s but in purple. The phones had a protective case with a panel that you flip open and closed that had a card holder. In the card holder was a pink credit card for Aurora and a blue one for Samuel. They also each had an ID card with a photo that was taken when they first came in. 

Mr Goodie spoke. A well rehearsed speech that he had said many times. 

"You can call me Mr Goodie. I am here to get you things you want and take you places, so in short, I am your driver and I will go buy things for you or take you to go buy them. You have $500 on your cards and if we see things that cost more, I call Mr B. There's always new bedding designs and other play stuff you all might want. We have not had many permanent guests but you lot seem to fit the bill to be here for a while. If you ever feel there's a better place, ask and we will help but while you're here, I am here to help get stuff you want. As you might have seen, the adults have picked most of what's here and you may not like some stuff, which is my job to help fix. Any questions?"

===========================

Lily raised her hand. “I have a question for Mr Balverk, actually”

===========================

Mr Balverk looked at her, amused, “Go ahead” he kindly prompted. 

==========================

Lily blushed slightly as everyone’s attention fell on her. “Well…I’ve been wanting to know from the start, Sir, but…that blue rose in the bubble that you gave to Samuel; what is it for? It follows him everywhere. And I know blue roses are impossible in nature. So this isn’t an ordinary rose. It must have some meaning, does it?” 

==============================

Mr Balverk nodded, crossing his arms as he continued right on smiling. “That was part of what I was going to talk to you about today, after Mr Goodie finished handing over the goodies,” he said playfully with a laugh. 

“In fact, the nurses’ clinic has confirmed my suspicions that Samuel has mild narcolepsy. Based on all the comments from his previous carers about how much he would fall asleep or get sleepy so often during the day. I am sure you’ve noticed by now. Well, that blue rose isn’t just for show, or a pretty bauble. It’s actually a mana rose. I can’t say who made it or where I got it but I can tell you how to use it. Give Samuel a petal from the mana rose to eat every morning and at night, and the sleepy episodes during daytime should happen less often. You can also give him a petal if he gets sleepy and it will give him an energy boost and chase the tiredness away for some time. The petals taste good and dissolve in your mouth like candy. They always grow back, so the rose will never run out. This is an exceptionally rare and expensive rose, so it is in a protective bubble that will not allow anyone to steal it and will always follow its main user”. 

He then looked at Samuel “And I hear that you had a visit from Mr Wong the other day. He informed me that Samuel has a little cold but it seems like those medicinal candies he gave you are doing their job. The boy is looking well enough to go on the outing today, thanks to that,” he paused, collecting his thoughts.

“Now, when you are all ready, Mr Goodie will take you out to the van and get everybody seated in their car seats. There’s plenty of room in the back for you, Mr Lightswirl, and for Ry, so don’t worry about that. I have had the cars enchanted so the insides are bigger than they look on the outside. The double stroller and diaper bags should fit in the back storage just fine. I hope you all have fun today. And please, do use your phones to snap photos of the kids during their trip. We can put them in their photo album and digital scrapbooks as keepsakes and add captions to them. This way, they can look back on them when they’re older and we can share the family memories”. 

==============================

Kate nodded, writing down everything Ry told her. “Then I’ll let Nanny Lyn know and she will talk to Mr Goodie about celebrating your birthday at Dave & Buster’s and going to watch a movie next week. You might want to invite some of the other kids here to make friends. And I see. Well if it isn’t important to you, then I’m happy to leave the mystery in the past. But if you change your mind, let me know and I will send out a private investigator. You deserve to know what happened to your parents. Oh, is that so? I didn’t know that. Perhaps it’s something common in the Night Fury species? How sad. Ahh, wow, that is fascinating” (No wonder the nurses had been surprised when they listened to his heart earlier!) 

“Well, even if you are immortal, we’ll still be here to help provide you a good life and help you find purpose in your existence. Immortality can be a curse otherwise. Oh, thanks for telling me that. I’ll pass that on to the nurses as well so we can give you the best care. They should be able to get Nanny Lyn a glucose tester and some emergency candy to monitor your blood sugar. Are you sure you’re not diabetic? Spider Man 2…I’ll take note of that when we are booking the movie tickets. Where is your tablet? You didn’t come in with one? I’ll ask Mr Goodie to give you a new one for your writing and school use”

She closed her notebook. “Well, I think we are all done here. Come on now, Dear. You’ll need clothes if you want to go on the outing with Samuel and Aurora today. Let’s see the nannies and they can get you an outfit plus help you design your new room and choose more clothes to be made for you by our tailors”. 

She stood up, tucking her notebook in her shirt pocket and took Ry’s hand, leading him over to the nannies’ station as though he was a tiny tot that couldn’t get there without help. 

“Nanny Lyn, Ry is ready for you. He’ll need clothes and a bedroom planner”. 

====================================

Nanny Lyn soon appeared and smiled when she saw Ry. “Oh my, that diaper looks so cute on you, Ry. Okay, come with me and I’ll help you get dressed now,” she said, leading him to a walk in closet with lots of babyish clothing in every size.

"yep I'm sure I'm not diabetic I would know if I was and thank you nana Lynn I'm super excited to see where we are going today and also if any kid wants to come and celebrate with me they are more than welcome toas for my tablet it's in my one strap bag that's in my cubby", ry said smiling as he felt himself being picked up and sat on the changing table as his new outfit was chosen as his old one was being washed and cleaned he kicked his legs lightly as he waited to see what he would be put in.

Sebas

An 18-year-old young man who, due to an illness (permanent incontinence), ran away from home with his computer and other things that he usually uses in his job as a programmer.

Over time he stayed in several places but never stayed in any. One day in the city he meets a man who advises him to go to the mansion, which welcomes everyone no matter what they suffer.

*ding dong, doorbell rings*

*I hope you accept me and help me in this place, from what I heard it's pretty good and it doesn't matter what illness I have*

Samuel looked and listened to Miss Lily as she secured the watch to his wrist, when he went to touch it, it immediately connected to Miss Lily’s tablet and a pip appeared on her tablet screen showing the watch location. Samuel sat still as his caregiver and Mr Castile spoke to mr. Balverk and Mr. Goodie. He yawned slightly as they discussed his narcolepsy and he laid back with his eyes half closed.
