[BACK IN TEMBA: o hi it's an Echo and the background's kind of bouncing around-]

-I have a question.

How many kids do we have in Temba right now?



[OOC:Kind of backdating this a few days, end of July, etc.]

I know of at least three. Padme's twins, Luke and Leia. Plus there's Grogu. [Who is technically older than most people in Temba, but hey.]

[He nods, but his brow is still furrowed.] But they've been with us and they're not any older than they are now, right?

[foundlingfather]

Last I checked, yeah. Just remembered a fourth, a newer one named Omega. [Seriously Agrii, what the kriff is with all the kids?]

[puddledancer]

That depends, does the baby lion count?

[ezra_of_lothal]

Wait. Wait. Baby lion?

[He's been busy. He's a little behind on checking the Agrii created profiles on the network.]

[puddledancer]

Yeah, he uh - showed up in a box. He totally talks.

-Baby lion?

[puddledancer]

Mmmmyep. Talkin' baby lion. One hundred percent a thing.

[no_applause]

I'm sorry to interrupt... But what's a lion?

[puddledancer]

Oh, hey.

[pretty girl. he flashes her a grin]

Lions are like ... big cats. They get real big, about the size of a person. Only this one's still little.

[he gestures with his hands]

Cute. Fluffy. Might still perforate you if you're not careful.

[kyley_b]

Are you high?

[puddledancer]

HA - nope. No cherries yet today, either. There is, I swear to Steven Spielberg, a talking lion here. His name's Simba.

[ With a question like that, Echo practically summoned him so...have a new face. The kid looks around 14 years old, with bright green eyes, sun-kissed skin, and freckles. ]

Not many? Nowhere as many as I saw back home in Portorosso.

[on_repeat]

[One question, many different answers. And different kids, apparently. Tempering a new level of concern, he acknowledges the new face.]

Okay. I guess we'll have to work with that.

Did you just get in, kid?

[silenziobruno]

[ If it helps any, this kid is used to living on his own without any supervision.
Actually, that might not sound too great when said out loud. ]

How? Are you going to try and make more kids?

I've been here for about two weeks.

[justlethal]

There are children here?

[Gamora would not have thought... Although she also has not exactly been looking for children. It's not really her thing...]

video

[on_repeat]

[More new people? He wasn't really accounting for this, but it's happening now.]

Affirmative. Number's obviously changed since I last checked in, however.

I'm assuming you're relatively new to Temba as well.

[justlethal]

[Her nose wrinkles ever so, in thought at his confirmation. While she hasn't had much experience with children, aside from her own childhood which certainly should not be used as an example, she does still find it surprising.]

When last you checked, what was it?

[Has it gone down... or up?]

Ah. Yes. I found myself here not that long ago.

[And another pause.]

Gamora.

[Killing it at the whole social thing!]

[ezra_of_lothal]

Uh. Four or five depending on how young counts as a kid in your book.

[on_repeat]

I'd say anyone under twenty, but let's drop it down to...fifteen. Fifteen and below.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[The eighteen year old makes a face at him, but sighs.]

Well, Grogu's older than that, but, you know, relative development. Including him, yeah, probably at least 5 kids.

And if any of you around that age or younger are paying attention, if you need help, or just someone one to talk to, you can call me or come to B-6 on the map, ok?

I was a street kid on my own for years, before some people helped me and I trusted them enough to let them, so like. No catch or trick, I'm just trying to follow their example.

[no_applause]

[Padme smiles gently.]

That's an excellent question. It would be very good to know how many young ones are here.

[He tries to smile back, succeeding in having the corner of his mouth quirk. At least he manages to keep the underlying worry from showing through.[

From the looks of it, we have more than I thought we did.

[kyley_b]

Oh shit dude, do we need a babysitting roster? I can do it when I'm not working, I like kids.

[And will he be teaching these children his colourful vocabulary? You bet your ass.]

[on_repeat]

At this rate, we might. I'm sure the extra help would be appreciated.

[Oh gosh Kyle no]
