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.

Either way, Archimedes hangs on a bit, but only for so long before it let's go and hangs onto Ivan...]
...what is with you?
no subject
When the octopus wraps its arms around Ivan, he tenses up and loses his composure. ]
Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!
no subject
Rei’s much more gentle about trying to coax the octopus free, reaching her hands around the little guy and lifting slowly. Her fingers tickle it’s sides and the cool moistness of it’s skin is an odd sensation in her hands, but she manages to coax it loose.
And with a quick step and turn, she drops him right back in the water.]
Handsy, isn’t it?
no subject
[ Ivan wiggles his arm, trying to get the feeling of the suckers on his skin. He swears he can still feel it. ]
Why is an octopus in the petting tank if it can just escape like that?
no subject
[It's certainly less strange than a ray.]
But those suckers. Are you okay?
no subject
[ He doesn't exactly want to say that he's touch sensitive because of his shapeshifting power out in public like this. He may be a stupid hero type, but he's not stupid. ]
Let's just go with that....
no subject
[She carefully pats him on the shoulder, making sure to only touch cloth.]
no subject
What's a brother for?
no subject
Fair point. Thank you, all the same. I owe you.
Oops. Should have read "unless he LOSES his power again" orz
[ Or maybe he doesn't, but it hardly matters either way. ]
no subject
Interested in going to grab a snack?
no subject
[ He hasn't forgotten that they're here for work and not fun. ]

[ He'll let her pick where they go. The aquarium has a few spots to catch a bite to eat. ]
