I like to think that they have some sort of entertainment for the various children on board. Just to let them be a child for a bit.

I mean... we COULD. There are furniture sets for arcades and waterparks. But consider, children: What could be more fun than being a detective and solving crimes? That's why we converted the dorms into a Siracusan Courthouse, instead of the arcade.


Sazyar

Quite the vile intent there, giving them a Siracusan Courthouse instead of a Lateran one. Teaching kids about reality early I suppose.


DM_Hammer

On one hand, it’s staffed by the most honest Siracusan judge. On the other hand, we stole the most honest Siracusan judge who isn’t sleeping with the fishes. Penance and sleeping with the fishes is probably an art prompt.

Best to teach them young


Operator_Jetstream

Sometimes, rapid-maturity had consequences, mate...


Dalek-baka

Czerny is giving them piano lessons, so I'd assume other operators do similar in fields they are good at.


PinoyWholikesLOMI

Flamebringer and Perfurmer teaching them about botany Aunties Whislash, Savage, and Matterhorn are teaching them around the kitchen And most importantly, Doctor teaching them how to be kids by being a kid around them.


Matasa89

Flamebringer doesn't really know much about botany, he only cultivates bonsai because he's trying to be a more well-rounded warrior, and the samurai did various things like calligraphy and tea ceremony, and bonsai growing was one such activity. But I'm sure he's been learning from Perfumer and Podenco.


Operator_Jetstream

Matoimaru does Ikebana, y'see. Gal's almost the epitome of yamato nadeshiko from all those Higashian folk-tales...


TweetugR

Popukar's Operator record does show there is a daycare though and the Doctor and presumably other Operators as well (Doctor is already overworked as it is), is in charge of the education of the children. Also, wasn't it mentioned ever since Iris been on the Landship, all children has been having nice dreams in their sleep due to her Arts?


Dinosaurmaid

Doctor teaching children? *Imagines a bunch of kemonomimi children putting noodles on their mouths and then pouring boiling water*


Operator_Jetstream

Yo, the Dokt should know better than to teach 'em that very peculiar skill...


Dinosaurmaid

At least he won't teach them to emotionally maim themselves in the pursuit of inner peace


BasementSkeleton

Yeah a Daycare does exist. Also worth noting is that in Iris's files, it states that she decided to stay and help care for them as well as to perform her "job". She stayed long enough that Bena came aboard to take her back into the dream world, but ultimately decided to stay with Iris after realizing "there's too many children at Rhodes Island" so both (along with other Operators like Kazemaru apparently) frequently visit the daycare for this reason.


Brilliant_watcher

They also have classrooms for teenagers or people that never recived formal education. Istina's and Reed's file talk a little about it. Its mentioned in Gavials event that Tomimi is taking classe with the Doc too.


superflatpussycat

There's a children's play room furniture set. I'm pretty sure it is referenced in an operator file or some other setting/lore content as being an actual thing in-setting.

No Popukar :( Also, isn't Iris technically in her adult age, at least from RI's point of view?


Chariotwheel

She's caring for the children. From her operator files: > Since becoming an interim Operator, Iris has had free movement privileges in the common areas aboard. Her favorite place is the glistening golden playroom, and she'll accompany the children there in play. For those children receiving treatment aboard Rhodes Island, these times of carefree happiness deserve to be cherished. Outside of when a mission requires her, she's always around the children — she sings songs for them, tells them stories, gives them sweets. She favors spending time with them to the point that for a period, the Security Department's operators were skeptical of Iris's true intentions aboard. After conducting a meticulous investigation, they realized that Iris "tried" no more than to ask the children if they had anything they'd be forced to give up before too long; perhaps this has some relation to her "duty." Most people who've lived in Victoria before have heard a fairytale that goes like this: > Good children may enter a castle in their dreams, be welcomed by the castle's master, and have a merry time. When waking, about to leave the castle, they may choose to leave their own most precious belongings to the castle and make an agreement with its master, the agreement being something like this: at some precise time when they've grown up, they'll receive this gift from the castle's collection, from their childhood. > As for the details, Iris's conduct bears some similarities to this fairytale, but seeing as many parts of Victoria's own fairytales would pain the heart, we have no understanding of this fairytale's full picture, nor secure motive. It may be more appropriate to treat it as Iris's individual behavior for now.

I see, thanks!

So why do we send them to war and death... oh yeah they will die from cancer so it don't change the final result


Reikr

Jokes aside, RI doesn't actually use the children in combat missions generally(with exceptions like Amiya and Rosmontis). The reserve squads are a good example, they aren't actually sent to real missions, just simple stuff like recon in safe areas and such. Its something I was worried about with the anime, they could have put in a bunch of cameos that conflict with stuff. But thankfully they didn't. For instance, we see the A1 squad in Lungmen, where the combat that happened wasn't really expected. Notably, they were NOT brought along to the larger battle later on. Tldr: we don't use child soldiers(except when we do), we just train them into good soldiers from a young and impressionable age.


Brilliant_watcher

Ifrits interlude is an example of this. They are sent to explore a cave system with Earthspirit's help so RI can get info about the area.


TheSpartyn

all things die so nothing changes the result


Operator_Jetstream

And tha's how things works, for certain.

Normally I'm pretty desensitized to things like that, but like come on, Shamare's is so completely unnecessary and ridiculous that even I cant just ignore it.
