LOGICA & FALLENSTAR, CHAPTER 13: A Very Long Day in the Life of Mr. Cee

This is a story from back when Fallen was still little.

Logica: Go to sleep...... go to sleep.......
Logica: Go to...... sleep.......... go to......
[sfx: flinch]
Logica: h-hi there mr cee....... how long have you been standing there...?
Cee: You ok?

Logica: See, I... I haven't had any time to rest...
Logica: Silly ol' Fallen gets mad and starts yelling whenever I'm not holding them...
Logica: And the second I let my guard down thinking I got 'em to go to sleep this time...
[text: Finally!]
Logica: They start cryin' again when I put 'em to bed...
Logica: Since they won't sleep unless someone's holding 'em... I can't get any rest, and I don't have any free time...
Logica: The garden's got completely taken over by weeds...

Logica: And I don't have the time or energy to make my own food, so I've just been eating bean paste on crackers every day...
Logica: Oh man, I can just feel the vitamin deficiency setting in already...
Logica: Why do human babies cry so much...?
Logica: I have no idea what they're thinking...
Logica: Humans are scar...y......

Fallen: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
Logica: I passed out... Sorry, Fallen...
Cee: Hmm...
Cee: Want Mr. Cee should watch Fallen for the day?

Logica: Really? You're sure?
Cee: Yup. You go rest, Logica.
Logica: Oh, be careful to support their neck... Their bones are still floppy...
Cee: Kay.
Logica: You have to feed them milk every three hours. Cow milk apparently isn't quite right... So Isaac made this powdered milk for me...
Logica: Dissolve it into a mixture of hot and cold water... It can't be too hot or too cold.
Cee: Kay.
Logica: And after they drink it you've gotta burp 'em.
Cee: Kay.
Logica: You've gotta wash and disinfect the empty bottles.
Cee: Kay.

Logica: And after you feed them, change their diaper... Set them on the cloth and wrap it around their butt...
Logica: Put the dirty diapers in this bucket... and wash 'em when it's full.
Logica: At noon you have to give 'em a bath. Put hot water in this basin.
Logica: But be careful that it's not too hot. And they flail around, so do it in the bathroom.
Logica: After their bath, rub this on them.
Logica: It's a vegetable oil that keeps their skin from drying out.
Cee: That's a lot of work.
Logica: It really is...
Logica: I set out on my own three days after I was born, so I had no idea raising a child would be this rough...
Baby Logica: First I need to find a house!

Logica: According to Isaac... humans die at the drop of a hat.
Logica: One time I put them in a big fluffy bed 'cause I thought they'd be more comfortable somewhere soft...
Logica: And as soon as I took my eyes off them, they rolled over...
Logica: They nearly suffocated... it was awful.
(FAAAAALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENN!!!!)
Logica: Isaac says they're really fragile creatures... and they'll die right away if they aren't taken care of.
Cee: They are.

Logica: Okay, good luck.
Cee: Wow, that was fast.
Cee: Hang on a sec.
Cee: Shoot, that was too much hot water.
Cee: Wait just a little longer, Fallen.
[text: Ice water]

Cee: (They drank the milk, so next is burping...)
Lie them down for about a minute...
And then if you hold them upright against your chest, it will come out easier.
Fallen: BAAAP
Cee: (Loud...)
Changing diapers...
Cee: (Smelly...)
Logica: And wash 'em when it's full.
Cee: This thing's packed.
Cee: You really do cry a lot.

Cee: Guess these can get hung up later.
Fallen: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
[note: Bath.]
Cee: Calm down, Fallen.
Cee: Hm... Come to think of it... Where's your extra clothes?

Cee: Ah, here we go.
[sfx: roll]
Cee: FA--

Cee: Scariest thing that's happened in thousands of years.
Cee: You're okay now, Fallen. Mr. Cee is sorry.
Cee: It was irresponsible to leave you all alone.

Thinking back, these hands have only ever been used to kill the giants, but...
Guess they can be used like that, too.

Professor: ...I'm so sorry.
Professor: I'm so sorry, Mr. Cee.
Professor: Please...
Cee: ...Whoops, fell asleep there.
