[He is opting for video this time, so the children that aren't human have someone also inhuman around, even if the only sign he's not entirely are the bones coming out his arms. Also, it's strange having to introduce himself again, but a lot of his cheekiness and bastardry is subdued to something more caring at the moment.]

My name is Gaheris Rhade, and I'm one of the adults on board. If you have an emergency, or if you're frightened, please contact someone. In the meantime, what do you like to eat.

Also, if you're an adult, please contact me privately.

[And his tone is back to normal.] If anyone is still themselves, please let me know.

You had better be an adult. [This almost sounds like a threat.]

[Private to Tony Stark | Video]

[He's still a little pissed that Tony occasionally invokes the name of the Ubermensch on people which is kind of awful in his culture. But he remembers Paddy made pizza for the kids last time, and while he can follow a recipe he needs all the help he can get.] I need your help in the kitchen. You remember those pizzas you were referring to before? I require your assistance in making a number of them.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the inmates were either proactive or avoided the children in general the time only wardens were affected by this. I remember because I was one.

Sadly, our greatest concern is actually trying to keep them out of the engine room or from taking things apart.

Well that's something.

So...uh...how do we keep them from accidentally hurting themselves? [One child he thinks he could figure out, but this is a lot of kids.]

You either tell and show them how to avoid getting hurt, or you take away things that might hurt them. [Baby human flame thrower might be concerning him slightly. Even if he has good control over his abilities.]

I think a very good idea would be checking the rooms of the children you know to have weapons as adults.

[Dylan's eyes widen, because, damn, there are a lot of weapons on board and a lot of kids who might try to play with them.]

I'll get right on that and see about putting them out of kid reach.

We're probably going to need assistance in the kitchens at some point, too. I think most of our staff has regressed.

I hope the kids aren't going to be too picky.

Although I can make a mean P and J sandwich, and I'll even cut off the crusts.

I can show you how to follow a recipe.

...Though the sandwiches might suffice, the way things are going.

So, safety check first, then food, then...maybe gets some games going to distract them?

[How do this?]

[Hey, he's got Rhade smiling a little. Even a laugh!]

That's the plan. There's probably some that would enjoy physical games over computer ones.

The ones going to the CES might need additional supervision.

Tiring them out enough to sleep sounds like a good plan. They can't get into trouble if their conked out.

How did you and your wives manage it all?

We had the size advantage until they were old enough to take care of themselves. [And hey, even a joke.]

[Dylan smiles.]

I guess we can always tackle them if they get out of hand.
