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.

[She glances around. There has to be somewhere around here where they could be alone for a minute.]
Maybe we could find an empty hallway. Or a really unpopular exhibit.
[There has to be some kind of fish no one in interested in, right?]
no subject
[ Him for having a power he shouldn't and her for knowing about it. He looks around for a door, maybe even an employee only area they could duck into. An aquarium has to have an area filled with pumps and tubes to keep water fresh and moving. Or even a broom closet of some kind.
Definitely tabloid material but better that than getting into real trouble with their labels. ]
Let's go look around.
no subject
[Trucy is pretty excited, both because secrets and sneaking around are always exciting and because this is sort of like a date and eeeeee~! For the record, she wouldn't mind the broom closet, tabloids and all. But that's not the first opportunity she spots.]
Oh, look! That could work.
[It didn't take long for her to notice an area of the Aquarium blocked by a velvet rope. The sign describes several new exhibits that are currently under construction will be open sometime next month.]
no subject
[ He ducks into the area. There doesn't look to be anyone around, most likely because FoB's manager made sure that there wasn't going to be any mechanical ruckus while they perform. Still, that doesn't mean they can dally in there very long, or at least, not very long while Ivan is shapeshifted. Getting into trouble for trespassing construction areas as musicians isn't nearly as dangerous.
Ivan moves so he's partially blocked from the entrance by a sign explaining about the fish in the (currently empty) tank. A quick flash a bright blue covers his body, and his shape changes in that instant. He's now the hero suit of Origami Cyclone. ]
I-I can't move like this because I am the suit, but I can still talk to you somehow...
[ He doesn't make the rules to his own power. ]
no subject
[Man, Trucy wishes she could do tricks like that. And that armor is just awesome! It reminds her of the Steel Samurai. Wait...
Oh! Right. That was a tv show she saw....somewhere. A long time ago. She remembers stacks of dvds that someone kept sending to her father.
In combination of awe and reverie, she doesn't even notice her hand move until her fingers are very lightly touching his chest. She snatches her hand back hastily.]
Oh! Sorry! I got a little...
[So much blushing.]
carried away...
no subject
A bright blush covers his face and matches Trucy's. ]
I-It's... it's all right...
[ He's not entirely sure what he means by that. ]
no subject
[Her cheeks are still burning and it's tough for Trucy to meet his eyes. She self consciously twirls a lock of her hair in her fingers.]
You're really amazing. I mean, the armor. It's really cool.
[Stringing words together should not be this difficult.]
no subject
[ He adverts his gaze to the unfinished display for the exhibit; he's trying to give himself (and Trucy) a moment to compose himself. ]
Have... have you remembered anything about yourself?
no subject
Only a little. I... think I was always a magician. I remember performing when I was really small. I was really proud of myself for being a pro.
And... I remember my dad... disappeared.
no subject
I'm sorry.
[ He didn't mean to bring up bad memories, even if they are her true ones. And part of him is relieved that she knows that they are her actual memories, and he doesn't have to convince her of such. ]
I... I bet you were a really cute magician as a kid--I-I mean, not that you aren't one now! You are, but um. Yeah.
[ Hasn't something like this happened to him before? ]
