I for one am extremely proud of our magnificent star-child.

You see her face form into an open mouth smile, and she starts to make that gurgling noise that babies do. You rub her head, and put the book away for the time being. However, as you stand and get ready to go to the adoption agency to get your papers, you almost think you hear her mumble the words "Da-da."
You leave the house feeling a whole lot happier than you usually do.

Our little eldritch horror is already starting to show her advantage over puny human beings who are only able to think in three dimensions. Not bad.

[X] Co-workers: What was up with everyone yesterday? (Find out why your co-workers acted the way they did yesterday)
[X] Try to make friends

We need contacts, meatbags and friends possible human sacrifices to keep our baby happy. Also, these co-workers are acting suspiciously.

Then maybe we should focus more on taking care of her so she'll trust us and not be hungry?

I think its safe to assume we take care of her automatically (for basic needs) - selecting the care options make sure we go the extra mile.

We have a bonus here. We should use it while we have it.

[X] Take care of kid: Well it worked the first time...(Raise Trust/Satiety with child)
[X] Co-workers: What was up with everyone yesterday? (Find out why your co-workers acted the way they did yesterday)

And the mystery is probably time critical. Baby's nature, not so much, as long as she's happy

    @LinkOnScepter can I have a QM ruling on this?

    Also, will you be implementing timeskips so we actually have a chance in hell of getting to see Anastasia all grown up?

    Well, unless specifically stated, you are assumed to have food in your house for your child. However, there is a reason the Shopping Option is there. If you want I can put up a value for the amount of food you currently have available in your house.

    As of right now, it's about; 2/4 food. So you are good for 2 more days....provided you don't get another mouth to feed while the Quest is going on.

    If it's about more than just food (i.e. diapers, clothes, etc.) then yes, you've got that taken care of as long as she's a baby. Of course, as of right now the only type of sleeping place Anastasia has is the basket you found her in. You can go shop for a new one, but it won't be cheap.

    And yes, I did plan for time skips. In fact, Anastasia is going to become a toddler faster than you might think. If you want to find out how long that is, I would suggest the Look Up "Starry Eyed Children" Option.

    I'd say these are both the most pressing things, finding out why our co-workers are acting strange sounds like it could be really bad. We don't want this to blow up in our face, we should figure out the issue right away.

    It would also help us if our character started to understand his child a bit more.

    Ok, just did a Tally.

    Co-Workers was one of the winners, however Look Up Starry Eyed Babies and Take Care of Kid were both tied with six votes.

    As such, I shall wait until 2:30 CST before I call the votes.

    If an upset happens, I will go with the majority. If it does not, I'll flip a coin.

    Lets do the research and find out night sky eyed babies are perfectly ordinary.

    [X]Coworkers, unite!: It's bring your baby child to work day. Talk about your baby, try to get help or at least tips on what to do.

    Don't worry. She may be a baby, but she's still Eldritch Horror. She can take care of herself to an extent. Besides, I never said that you would leave her at home while your at the Library.

    Either way, looks like We'll be investigating some things next time.
