008 ✽ It's betta down where it's wetter
Who: Flowers Over Bones and those in attendance
What: One last solo band performance before the big tour, at the world's largest aquarium. Of course, being a giant aquarium, there's plenty of other things to do too.
When: Backdated to early April
Where: The Vista City Aquarium
Warnings: None planned, but note- this is set before Flowers Over Bones (Luce, Doctor, Rei, Ivan, Pao-Lin) escape out of Virgo's grip. If you want to talk with any of them one last time, now is the chance to do so. Also doubles as a mingle log!
As befitting such an enormous and thriving city, Vista houses the largest aquarium on the entire Americana west coast. Vista City Aquarium takes up the entirety of a multi-floor building, sprawling over a sizeable bit of land in the crowded city and providing nothing but top of the line care for its many aquatic and amphibious inhabitants. Needless to say, the gift shop is an entire floor all its own.
Such a place is obviously a popular place in the city for those interested in aquatic life, but today is special. The Annual Charity Run is taking place to usher in spring, just like every other year, and, to help this goal, they've enlisted the help of Virgo's own Flowers Over Bones. On one of the only levels not for the housing of aquatic life, a stage area has been set up for the band. All proceeds to see them, of course, go straight to the Aquarium.
That isn't to say people are obligated to go to the concert. It's an optional event of the day. There's still an entire building full of water and creatures to explore, an endeavor which can take up an entire day if one is so willing. Notable attractions include:
- A glass tunnel that goes through an entire tank of Caribbean sea life
- A room filled with screens livestreaming the events of oceanic researchers watching over the dolphins and whales the aquarium doesn't house
- A shallow tank where you can pet more docile small sharks and rays
- An area where you can play chess electronically with one out of a pair of octopi, Celia or Pat. Human winners are rewarded a voucher for food down in the food court. Celia and Pat get pieces of crab. Celia and Pat also have a high win rate.
- The food court and gift shop floor, where you can buy refreshments for the day or whatever gift shop knicknacks your heart desires. Not only are there the typical things such as clothing emblazoned with the aquarium's logo, keychains, and lovely coral or shark teeth jewelry.... But there are also plushies larger than most people. There's seemingly one for just about every kind of animal. Yes, even the blobfish.

Right.
[ He doesn't sound entirely convinced, but here, have another pat while he looks around. Where is she? ]
no subject
[Goddammit. They miss Gola Mosca. Using that to be carried around was so much easier. Why did they let the old man out of that thing again?]
[Finally, however, a tiny figure in a big MÄNTICORE hoodie- gotta make "Momma" happy- is finally trotting over and reaching for dear old 'Papa'. Yes, they are actively relieved about getting free of crowd hell, shut the fuck up.]
Papa!
[Yes, they'll milk this for all its worth. Again: shut the fuck up.]
no subject
Avidita! I'm glad you came. I got something for you. [ Piggyback rides from the Boss of the Varia. Definitely. Because he's going to spoil the shit out of Mammon. In fact, he's bought
or stolena cute little purse for her. Inside is about 3000 dollars because his baby girl needs spending money. ]Look, Superbia is here too. [ And the Carnies? Well, he'll introduce them as soon as he can. ]
no subject
Whoa, you've gotten so big.
[ ...now that he thinks of it though, he does remember her being this size. Being this size and fighting some Chinese asshole? Huh. ]
[ Whatever. Let momma just add another $3000 to that spending money as soon as she opens that purse to check it. ]
no subject
[No, wait. Fight it. Remember that sweet paycheck with a lot more zeroes on it.]
I saw. I'm glad you came this time, Momma.
[It makes things easier for them. Also, they just want to see how Squalo reacts to that.]
Are we going to stay together all day?
[They need to know how much time they have to try and convince them to leave.]
/slips in again
Me too, squirt.
[ He ruffles her hood affectionately, though he can't help but feel like it's wrong to be addressed like that. Still, it'd be even weirder to ask his adopted daughter call him "Squalo", wouldn't it? ]
[ He glances at Xanxus, then back at Avidita and gives her a reassuring smile (by which we mean a grimace-like show of teeth). ]
Well I don't have any other plans today.
no subject
Of course we are. You've got us all day. We can stay here or we can go where ever. Today is your day.
[ But don't think that's going to last very long. Xanxus giving up being in charge isn't going to happen ever again. Carrying Mammon on his shoulders, also something that's never happening again. ]
Though if we decide to leave, we might have to swing by the touch pool to let your momma say his tear filled goodbyes to his cousins.
no subject
Then let's go to the shark tanks first. I bet it'll remind Momma of Sharky.
[Which number was this one again? There have been way too many Sharkys. And anyway, the sharks will probably put Squalo in a good enough mood for them to poke at him.]
no subject
[ ...some things never change. ]
[ He's definitely not going to complain about more shark time, so he'll be leading his little family (?!!) toward the tanks, briefly glancing back at them as they walk. ]
...is your brother here too?
[ Congratulations Mammon, you have a shit prince sibling. :/ ]
