 MS LTA: Phase TWO
Long Term Assignment | Babycare: The Muggle Way.
P H A S E _T W O: Midpoint Check-In.
*permission required before posting
Maybe you're exhausted because you were up all night with a crying child. Maybe you've found a new best friend in the form of your plastic bundle-of-joy. Regardless of how you're feeling, your time with the baby is soon to be approaching its end. That's right! You've made it to the halfway point of your assignment! Your Professor has asked that you stop by his classroom at some point during your week in order to go through the midpoint assessment and check-in. Hope you've been taking good care of your little one!
The classroom is set up with various tables. On each table you will find extra supplies to restock your baby-bag incase you're running low on any of your necessities. Your Professor has asked that you take a seat and wait for him to come to you. Feel free to fill up on your essentials and hang tight because Finneas will head your way momentarily to ask you a few questions and conduct the midpoint assessment on your babydoll. OOC: You can only post here if you were given permission to do so. If you were not given permission to post, your post will be deleted. If you would like to take part in this assignment, head over to PHASE ONE first.
For this phase you are required to LINK 1 OUTSIDE POST that has your character with their baby. A short RP will be done in this thread in order to complete this phase and move to the next. This thread will stay open for the duration of the assignment (until march 26). I suggest starting on this phase ASAP so that you have as much time as you need, but there's no set framework of when you need to post, all up to your individual needs.
IMPORTANT: If choosing to co-parent, please coordinate posting in here with your partner. Co-parenting is not required, just another opportunity to interact with your classmates. Quote:

Yaya SPOILER!!: General Rules as Previously Stated IC Instructions- Each student (or pair, if choosing to co-parent) will receive one baby doll to take care of over the course of the next 3 months & 1 baby bag containing all the essentials for babycare
- What to know about the dolls? With the aid of technology, the dolls have been programed to dirty nappies, need burping, sleep, get hungry, cry, etc. They have a mechanism that records all sounds and a way to alert your Professor should you think to take the doll apart in search of the recorder. The babies behave in a way that mirrors real children, and they respond to love and affection accordingly. They do not like to be left alone and are rather fragile.
- What’s in the baby bag? Nappies, bottles, dummy/pacifier, baby food, baby powder, wipes and flannels, etc.
- Over the course of the next 3 months, you must take your baby with you at all times. Take care to treat it with love (aka feeding it when hungry, burping it when needing a burp, soothing it when it cries, etc). You will be asked to check in with your Professor periodically on the status of your baby. By the end of the 3 month period you will be given a grade based upon how you treated your baby, the baby’s final physical state, and your overall effort in the assignment.
OOC Instructions- This long-term assignment will have 3 distinct phases that can be sequentially completed at any time. This means that you cannot move to phase 2 until you have completed phase 1. You cannot move to phase 3 until you have completed phase 2. For each phase a seperate thread will be made (ex. THIS thread is for PHASE 1). If you can’t jump in right when the thread opens, don’t fret! ALL threads will stay open until the final day of the assignment (March 26 2020).
- For each phase of the assignment, you will simply have to post your character within the thread. I will post Finneas interacting with your character, which will in turn, be a short RP where he will ask questions or ask them to complete a simple task.
- For the second and third phase, you will be required to provide 1 link to an outside RP in which the baby doll is mentioned, being taken care of, or used.
While I’m only requiring that you mention the doll in 2 RPs for the sake of the assignment, this could be such a fun opportunity if you’d like to take heed of it and use it for your own plotting purposes! Kid running his own babysitting business as a whole new way of paying a dude to do your homework? Bringing your child to class? Taking them on a casual stroll? HELP--I lost my child in the great lake! …… Lots of fun opportunities! If you can’t think of any come poke me and we can brainstorm together ^^ - I will unlock the phase 3 thread once a few people have gone through phase 1 in order to stagger things. I’ll post notices on the noticeboard so you know when the threads have been opened!
This assignment will last until MARCH 26 @ 10 PM EST (gmt-5) |
