because fluff cloud filled me with emotion, how would the ros, israfel, lucifer and daniel react to a gabriel who had been accidentally de-aged. like actually ate something hexed and turned into a toddler in the precinct?? its super long im sorry asdfs maybe just the angels, lucifer and daniel because i bully u with enough shit
This seems to be a popular one. I’ve seen a few versions of this scenario (and may have one half-answered buried in this mountain >.>) but I’ll toss an answer in here. (Also for clarification, fluff cloud is a channel from the discord server)
1. Iain is used to kids. He’s just going to focus very hard on not thinking about how this happened or how one is supposed to undo this and let everyone else deal with that. You and him can go watch some cartoons and nap on the couch while people are figuring it out.
2. Alice looks at you like you’re a bomb about to go off. She’s giving you to Iain and trying to find a solution as fast as possible to this situation.
3. Charleston gives you a coloring book and some crayons, as well as some nuts and a juice box, leaving you at his desk while he goes and tries to find a way to undo this situation.
4. Stephanie is fascinated with the transformation. Do you still have your memories? Is it just a physical transformation? Are there other side-effects? She wants to observe and document while she tries to diagnose what kind of magic caused this and who was behind behind it and how to undo it.
5. Tom doesn’t know what else to do other than take care of you like the toddler you now apparently are. It’s awkward but some part of him also enjoys acting like a parent to a small child again. Josie had to grow up so fast and he misses
6. Karyn is not a babysitter. What if it’s permanent? Is she suddenly responsible because you happened to be dating when it happened? She’s got her own job and her own life and that sucks but she’s not a responsible person. You have friends and Tom can help because that’s a problem if someone is going around de-aging people.
7. Leo has never held a small child or been around them much, but he’ll try to make sure you’re alright while everyone else figures something else. He’s constantly chasing after you and trying to balance keeping an eye on you while reading every parenting book he can get his hands on. Not to mention trying to babyproof every outlet and corner and generally worrying about how small and fragile you suddenly are.
8. Tadea isn’t thrilled. She would much rather have you in your normal state. It’s awkward to have someone you’re dating suddenly turn into a toddler. It’s still you, sort of, but now you’re a child. She’d rather not take care of you because how do you come back from helping your
9. Ramiel rolls with it. He’s surprised by it, but he’s seen a lot of weird and inexplicable events, though he’s sure this one has a perfectly sensible explanation… that someone else will figure out because he’s busy chasing around Gabriel. Is likely found sprawled on a couch
10. Zaria sighs. This situation is far from ideal, but she’ll arrange for child care while everyone is working and they’ll set up a rotating schedule afterwards until this situation can be resolved. Not to mention they’ll have to explain why you’re not reporting for duty and cover any obligations you committed to before the situation happened.
11. Michael is panicked. This can’t be happening. He just got you and now you’re a child! After settling down, he realizes that worst case he has to wait for you again. That’s not so bad, especially if he can make up for some of his behavior in the past while doing so. He’s not going to be the main one responsible for small Gabriel though. No one trusts Michael to remember how often humans need sustenance.
12. Sabriel is pissed, though not at you. This isn’t supposed to happen, and constitutes a major issue. She has to find a way to explain your absence, a way to undo this spell (not to mention how it happened in the first place), and take care of you on top of all her regular duties. Stressed is a bit of an understatement.
13. Aelius is quiet. It’s hard to tell his personal feelings about the situation. He does what needs to be done to take care of you, and the only time he seems to smile is when the small toddler holds his hands. Rumor is that he’s made offers (the kind you can’t refuse) for anyone who can break the spell.
14. Iro, contrary to what one might expect, seems alright with this sudden change. She squirrels Gabriel away, transforming her loft into what looks like a daycare--for one small child.
15. Ryder is furious. Someone dared to turn you into a toddler? How? And when he finds them, he’s going to make them undo their spell so he can get back his lover and then he’s going to let Gabriel decide their punishment.
Daniel finds the situation ironic, if not ideal. The first day is kind of fun, but then he has school and what about the bills and how does one explain this? And he doesn’t know about toddlers. They start crying and he doesn’t understand why. And please, please, please tell him you’re potty-trained because that’s the part where he’s going to have to dump you on Israfel if not.
Lucifer: He gets to be a father of a young Gabriel? So much to do, so little time! Sure, someone should probably get to work aging them back again but in the meantime it’s time for some quality father-child time. Prepare for overstimulation and forgetting that small children need rest and food other than ice cream.
Israfel: He’s taken care of Gabriel as a cherub. It’s not that different taking care of a small toddler. Well, they are a bit more breakable and require more care what with their biological needs, but it’ll be over and done in what might as well be the blink of an eye to him. A very long, restless blink.
