It's a normal morning for anyone who's managing to sleep a standard schedule- up until a mass text goes out, that is. Everyone will find the same thing from either Mafuyu or Aerith's username:
... Simple enough. And should you choose to attend, both your hostesses will be pleased to see you once it's time to head over.
As they said, the aquarium is largely empty save for the group, and it's definitely worth it. A serene song plays overhead while attendants give tours or explanations as needed. The variety of aquatic life is surprisingly vast as well, and spacious halls give way to plenty of opportunity to explore.
Come nightfall, certain rooms dim the lights but the tanks stay lit- or black lit as darker enclosures like the jellyfish hall and the octopus tanks remain- and only a few staff remain to keep an eye on things- so... stay on your best behavior. The two restaurants stay open- a regular fast food joint with kitschy island cabana theming, and a much more upscale lounge where Aerith plans on corralling the adults for fun this evening.
Once it's time for the age groups to split, Aerith will lead the adults to a pleasant lounge with more tanks, large couches or more private tables, and a view overlooking one of the main rooms of the aquarium- wave to the kids if they're there! Or don't. Bouquets of flowers are placed around the room, and it looks like Aerith has a few ideas already, though she won't stop anyone from going out to review the different sections again.
Contrasting Mafuyu, who is content to let the fellow teens do whatever- though if they do congregate, she's not really the social sort and will simply be content to enjoy the vibes. Even if you just want to take a nap somewhere, there's plenty of dark secluded areas to do so.

[something something sekhmet was tricked into drinking the nile when they poured a shit ton of wine in it something
not me shriveling up because the only known preferences are tea, falafel, and how much he hates fish. but at least... at least i know what was normal for his time period... right...]
Tell me, what's it like to lose your wings and fall from grace?

[ loooooong sip because hm. atem somehow managed to accidentally open a door to Complicated Feelings and Thoughts.
........ you know what, it's fine. ]
I do happen to know someone who was Fallen, though. I think he's kind of banned from helping me for at least the next couple of decades or something.
[ there's a wince there. does he feel guilty about hanekoma? maybe? a little bit? it's Complicated. ]
no subject
[He saw the wince.]
What's it like? You may not believe this, but you're first one I've met.
[He's kinda changing the subject? And his tone is purposely light--- Joshua should absolutely knows he's the first.]
no subject
[ he sees you changing the subject, atem. it's really only thanks to braphine's gift over the last two weeks that he's not being part of the cagey bitch conglomerate rn. ]
No angels as part of the Ancient Egyptian afterlife, huh. [ he sounds actually... a little amused by it? ] That's a good thing. Most angels are assholes and convinced that they know better than anyone else. If anyone from the Higher Planes takes an interest in you, that's never really a good sign.
[ he is Aware that he is possibly talking about himself in that category too, yea ]
no subject
[He leans his head on his hand.]
But higher plane huh... Another thing we have in common. That's part of why I tried to remain impartial and observe when I first got here. Couldn't do it for very long, though. Don't know what Lady Braphine did, but she cut me off from my divine power. Is it the same for you?
no subject
[ the sheet ghosts that shoot lasers from their eyes, he means. joshua is thinking that would be something cool to implement as a noise form, but he's digressing.
anyway, he's taking another sip of his wine. ]
Different kind of Higher Plane, though. I think yours probably has a lot more colour, and is less... boring. [ makes a face. ] They're all about the status quo up there. A little bit of discord throws them all into a frenzy.
Yeah, but I kind of expected it. It always happens whenever I try jumping dimensions. Takes a huge chunk of power and also it's like a coin flip on whether you make it through.
[ i'm never playing a jrpg protag ever again i had to nerf him so bad ]
no subject
Does it really put that much strain on you? Because I never had a problem with it until here.
