Awesome Cosmere Babysitting

[Kobold King he/him]

So the unthinkable has happened: you've been tasked with babysitting. Maybe young Adolin's gotten a bit boisterous, or some Forger's gone and turned himself into a child. Whatever the circumstances, you've got small children to watch for a few hours.

 

But here's your edge over the little brats angels: you're from the Cosmere. You can make puppet shows with Lightweaving or Soothe them to sleep. How does your Investiture help you with kids?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Awaken all their toys to play with them.

 

Awaken their blankets to put them to Sleep. Help them go to sleep.

1) tell 'good natured' horror stories that they will love.

2) Then, when they go to bed, riot their fear. Every shadow becomes a demon and every noise a monster.

3)  take all the spheres they use illuminate the house and leave.

4)Profit.

Didn't take long for this thread to take a turn for the Odious.

 

On that note, Forge the naughty ones into little sweethearts.

I would use my Truthstone to me Szeth babysit them for me.  I think he'd be great with kids.

[Curiosity he/him]

Half-lash the kids to the ceiling, resulting in a zero-g environment. Seriously, what kid do you know that wouldn't like that?

 

Parents come home and wonder why there are footprints on the ceiling.

play simon says. Make nightblood simon.

 

Simon says destroy evil. Your brother looks pretty evil. I'm pretty sure he stole your candy.

[Pathfinder]

Put a little belt on all of them, with a metal buckle. Anytime they fight, or go someplace they aren't supposed to, just steel push or iron pull on the buckle without even having to get up. 

[Peng the Just he/him]

Give a couple lifeless squirrels orders to "run and hide."

use them to play hide and seek.

[Terisen he/him]

Soulstamp them into nice, little behaved children that always listen and go to bed on time.  Done and done.  It'll wear off when they're asleep and they'll be back to being little demons for their parents the next day.

[Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him]

Use a full lashing to stick them to their cribs/beds until they fall asleep?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Use a Half lashing to make all of their Starwars toys Weightless. Turn off all the Lights. Infuse toys with Stormlight.

 

Boom. Your own Space Battle.

[Left he/him]

I'd soothe the crap out of them. However if I was on the list, after I soothed, well I might bring out a couple of pieces of metal....

Or, to expand upon that, find a large room, half lash large styrofoam balls, half lash everybody and give them laser tag equipment.  Boom, you have the Battle Room from Ender's Game.

[Dellexe he/him]

Realize you have to go on an errand and leave Nightblood to watch the kids.

What could go wrong?

[Pathfinder]

Put up a Cadnium bubble, so instead of having to babysit for like 3 hours, you just have to sit there for like 10 minutes. 

[Fifth of Daybreak he/him]

Soothe their boredom when watching your tv shows. Riot it when watching theirs. Goodbye Barney hello Doctor Who.

[Haradion Drogon]

See! We are Awesome!

We come up with these things almost instantly!

 

Now... Where did I put my Hemalurgy For Dummies kit? They'd love that! But even so, the whole Lashing to the beds sounds as though it would work just fine...

 

Add a Rithmatics "Silence" chalking....

Lol I am thinking more along the lines of the kids game "operation" but hemalurgy style

I think you mean Oathstone

[Fatebreaker he/him]

Being a Worldsinger, I would use my flute and the fire I stared in the middle of the kids' room to tell them a fantastic bedtime story, while simultaneously soothing and rioting at the appropriate times to make it even better.

 

If they didn't want to go to bed there are two ways to handle it:  You could just lash them to the beds, then awaken their blankets to restrain, or you could awaken the beds with the command "Be cozy" and that sounds like a bed I'd want to sleep in.

 

or you could just transmute them into toads, which are like children but not as messy or expensive to feed.

Use a soulstamp to turn yourself into a nurturing, caring, person. And bring lot's of ink. You'll need it

[Quiver he/him]

I want to echo Swimmings sentiment, but I suspect even Forgery has it's limits.

Buckets of it probably.

How about just an indifferent person? It would be an improvement.
