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.

Shark skin is special, you know. It's all made of tiny teeth. It makes swimming easier, and faster. Important for someone who never sleeps and always keeps moving.
no subject
Tiny teeth. [She notes as she keeps rubbing the angelshark.]
...Wait they don't sleep?
no subject
[ The angelshark slowly turns over until it's practically floating bottom-up, and slowly flaps its sides in utter bliss. Squalo snorts and scratches behind its fin. ]
You know how fish have swimming-bladders? Shark's don't. They can sort of hibernate to rest, but they never stop, or they sink.
[ His usual "If I stop I will die" suddenly gains a new meaning, doesn't it? ]
no subject
...That's amazing.
no subject
Yeah.
no subject
I wonder, why do they call these kinds 'angelsharks'?
no subject
Shape, probably. [ He gestures around the silhouette of the shark; it does look vaguely like the blobby "snow angels" that kids make, and snorts. ] They're also adorable and fat, I guess, but that goes for all kinds.
no subject
[She can understand a little why he loves these creatures so much. And yeah, she rubs the angelshark while saying this.]
no subject
[ THE ANGELSHARK IS SO HAPPY. LOOK AT ITS TINY HAPPY MOUTH. ]
no subject
[Is it strange to say she wants Squalo to bring this particular baby home with him? It's so cute.]
no subject
Whoops guess she'll have to schedule Xanxus' dick more carefully.]How're they different?
no subject
Cute sharks are good, Xanxus' dick is better while it lasts.]Seraphims are huge, powerful angels, top at the top of the hierarchy of angels. Although if we get this little fella, we should give it name. Isn't dat right precious wittle pancake baby?
[Still rubbing the shark. Great, now Aramat's starting to baby-talk sharks too.]
no subject
[ Great now they're both babytalking. It's kind of disgusting. ]
[ He's kinda shit at names, though. ]
How 'bout Flaps?
no subject
[She's slightly better at this naming thing, we admit.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
No. I asked.
no subject
[Hopefully Flaps has a marking or something like that makes the little shark unique so she can pick him out later.]
no subject
You're the best.
