A Question about the Nursery. by Rosie Azrael on 2010-09-16 03:15:00 UTC Reply

So I've been told to ask this question in the direction of Keily specifically, and the Board in general.

Who would work with the younger children (Specifically in the 5-10 year old range) in the Nursery? Or, failing that, who would be the person generally in charge of the Nursery and its operations?

I've already checked the Wiki, and all it gives is the names of those who work with the older, Just-About-Agent children.

I ask because one of the Agents I'm currently working on has a seven-year-old in the Nursery, and this is one of the things that is needed to be known.

Thank you to anyone who can offer any information.

I haven't written about it myself... by Sedri on 2010-09-16 23:53:00 UTC Reply

But when I did a co-write with Trojie, she opened our mission with a Nursery narrative and it included a nameless agent who was chaperoning trainee Marsha. You can see that here, if you like.

Trojie and Pads had a lot of interaction with the Nursery anyway, given that they have at least three kids there. Trojie'd be the one to ask.

I've rarely featured the Nursery in my pieces, and where I have I've not gone into much detail. I've always assumed that there are a lot of Nursery staff, given the number of Agents who are having children, adopting rescued children they find on missions, or leaving there as a result of MPregs or similar. I've also just taken it as granted that the staff there (other than those already named) can be created and named by anybody who needs to feature one for whatever reason.

Basically, if you want a Nursery staff member, you're free to make one yourself, even if just for a single cameo. Hope that helps.

... by 2018 Elanor Wentway is working there, but I don't think she started until at least '13. That story does firmly place the Nursery into the Operations Department, which means it's under the Nightshade. In the Alternate Universe Shades of Black and Red (about halfway through that chapter) the Nursery takes small children on picnics Outside - but like I say, AU as heck.

So: not a lot of useful information. Nursery claims that children move up in class based on understanding, not age (and it's worth noting that Elisabeth is only about five at the time under discussion, so clearly there's more than just that level and nearly-Agent), but that's still eight years in the future.

Well, Ekwy used to run the Nursery... by Keily on 2010-09-16 07:01:00 UTC Reply

...then I took charge for a while and right now, I haven't the faintest clue who's in charge of it 100%. XD Quite possibly it's still me, unless someone else stole control of the Nursery while I was lurking about.

Agent Shinra used to work in the Nursery, but according to her own canon, she transfers into Intelligence. I don't think there is any particular character in charge of the smaller kids currently. Were it pre-transfer it would have been her. She's well equipped to handle the younger kids, especially the ones under 5.

As is, I suggest either using one of the agents in the list that could possibly take care of the kid, or making up a caretaker yourself.

Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
