( mafuyu is so, so relieved that their reservations are finally here, for a number of reasons. something else to think about after a week of targetted awfulness, something to take her mind off of last night, excitement on behalf of the others, and she'll admit she's looking forward to just getting to watch everything while the world outside can't touch her for a little while.
aerith is the sort to take the lead and mafuyu lets her, but you can find her in the jellyfish hall, at the grand tank watching seaweed, in the shark tunnel or checking on others.
once night comes, she will of course join in on the pj fun with her own pajamas, and with her stuff you can definitely catch sight of a dark-colored stuffed rabbit... she's more content to just sit with her friends, listen to music or... ... oh, party games. okay. that- that will be happening. (she's never done this before help.)
despite the recent events, she seems to be fully relaxed and content, even smiling softly but warmly. )

[Heck yeah aquarium sleepover adventure! Arven being present is a no-brainer, seeing as Mafuyu is one of the hosts, but he'd still attend even without the added incentive. He's never really been to a sleepover before, so he's happy to be able to get one in while he's still a kid. And boy is this one heck of a sleepover.]
1 - aquarium tour
[Feel free to run into Arven during one of the many aquarium tours. He's constantly thrown off by the many different species of fish and other aquatic life.]
Wow...some of these are so close to Pokemon, yet totally different at the same time. Wild huh, bud?
[Woof. Yes, of course Mabosstiff is here on the tour too. Arven wouldn't want his best bud to miss it for the world.]
2 - playtime with Mabosstiff
[Since he promised Atem and Aaron he'd set aside some time for them to hang out with Mabosstiff, Arven heads out on the aquarium grounds with Mabosstiff in tow. Of course, anyone else is welcome to come hang as well! Arven brought a bunch of toys for Mabosstiff to play with, including his Poke ball.
There are also snacky foods and drinks from the fast food restaurant set out on a picnic blanket in case anyone gets hungry. Gotta stay on brand, after all.]
3 - sleepover
[After the day's festivities—presumably party games as well—it's finally time to wind down and get comfy. Arven has changed into his PJs and settled into his mound of blankets and pillows. He needs a lot of them, as Mabosstiff is here too...and he'll be asking Mafuyu to join them.
There's still time for chatter before everyone turns in for the night, so he'll strike up conversations with others in his neck of the sleeping area.]
Did you have fun today?
[It sure as heck has been a nice change of pace...]

( it's only natural that at the end of the night, they will be side by side if not outright cuddled together as has become the norm very quickly recently, but she'd be lying if she said she wasn't especially excited to see arven's reaction to the different tanks, so she trails beside him hand in hand. )
... Are they really that different? ...Well, I suppose there's a lot here. The jellyfish tanks are especially nice to watch.

I dunno how to put it but, like...I just think you'd be able to tell a fish Pokemon from the fish here. [He taps at his chin with his free hand.] Maybe it's in the eyes? Fish Pokemon are mostly kinda big, too...
[Mafuyu mentioning the jellyfish draws his eyes over to the tank in the distance.]
They are! And there's waaay more species than I've ever seen of jellyfish Pokemon.

[Hmm... Atem didn't quite think this through.
He saw Mafuyu's invitation and immediately agreed to come to the aquarium. It's his bleeding heart when a very sad, young girl such as Mafuyu asks him to do something, he does it. She could ask him to jump and he'd respond, "how high?" And though he's reluctant to admit it, he would probably kill on her behalf. (He's tenth in line.) (Probably--- as if he hasn't done it for Anzu!)
Now that he's here... He doesn't know where he belongs. Does he follow Aerith to the lounge? He is, by the standards of his culture, an adult man. He even stopped wearing the larger earrings that marked him a young boy-king a few months ago. His kohl far more elaborate, too. But, by modern standards, he's still relatively young: a teenager. However, if he includes the time he spent locked away half-conscious in the Millennium Puzzle then he's far, far older than everyone here! A great times thirty grandpa.
At this stalemate of decision of whether he's young or old enough, he stares at jellyfish bobbing away in their tank, and idly picks at his fingertips without the Millennium Puzzle to fidget with instead.
He sighs through his nose.]
You're lucky you can't conceptualize time.
[He mumbles to the jellyfish as if they could hear him.]
How long do you guys even live anyway? A few years at most?
[His temporal conundrum isn't his only problem being here... Except he's very, very keen on ignoring the dread burning in his stomach at how everything looks like they're underwater. They're not really in the abyss!! No one will cease to exist! Especially not him! He knows his name! And he has a body to go with it! Sure, they're not in the Black Lands so if he were to die at any time it'd definitely suck, but it's all a display! It's fine!! He's fine! Yeah!
Let's focus on where he should belong instead!!! Ahaha! That's a much easier existential dread!!!]

Atem...?
( she'd come to relax and watch some jellyfish, but. uh. ... is he okay?
(probably not. no one is for a little bit after the palaces, and his was especially harrowing.)
she leans around to see what tank he's observing before looking back over at him, hands folded behind her back. )
Is everything okay?

[Thank goodness it's dog therapy playtime and Atem is far, far away from the displays. That definitely doesn't bother him any more than not knowing if he should go hangout with the adults or the teenagers. Though he sorta has a better idea of where he belongs now. Kinda?? He's leaning more towards Arven and the others, even if in his own head Arven is a kid.
He saw Mabosstiff a few times at the dorm and their various restaurant outings, but never really up close. Up close, Atem realizes... Well... Well...]
Woah... You're a big boy!
[AHOY CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
Mabosstiff's head dwarfs both his hands! But he tries to give him ample pets anyway.]

Hm?
[Pulled from his thoughts, he turns his attention to Mafuyu, and schools his face into something far less burdened so he doesn't worry her. (Far too late for that... But let him believe.)]
Yes, everything's okay.
The jellyfish are quite pretty, aren't they? I never had a chance to look at them up close like this.

[ Sleepover!!! Rutile loves sleepovers!!! Especially with new friends? Hell yeah. Look at him, he looks super comfy.
There's one moment in the night, after he's had x bottles of wine and y bottles of tequila and z shots of vodka that he's decided to get comfy on one of the couches with his sketchbook and quill pen, and he's busily doodling away.
He'll look up at some point, and if he catches your eye, he'll brighten up and gesture you to come closer. ]
I'm drawing right now! I'm looking for inspiration and I'll take any request. Would you like me to draw you something?
[ he will actually draw whatever your character asks !!!
Otherwise, he's Around (this is your wildcard option). ]

Really? ... I wonder why. Do you not have jellyfish like these...?
( ... but then how would he know to call them jellyfish pokemon... )

[ It's time to get your party on!
As she and Mafuyu began planning this night, Aerith was already thinking about roping a few people into playing some party games. They're supposed to be growing closer and creating bonds here anyway, so why not use some games to help facilitate that? Surely there are still some people here who could use this chance to get to know one another.
It's why Aerith ropes in her fellow Outgoing Person, Rutile, to help her out with getting some of these games going.
There's plenty of alcohol available for participants to take shots or have a drink, but there are non-alcoholic options as well for the teens, or for those who would prefer it!
Once they have gathered everyone who wants to participate (or doesn't want to, they don't mind utilizing peer pressure here), Aerith and Rutile will go about sharing the rules of their chosen games. ]

This is a game from Rutile's world, and he's over the moon (lol) that he gets to teach all of you!

Try it with multiple people, too! Losers drop out until there's only one person left standing, unshaken king of the hill of professions of affection.
Feel free to incorporate dice rolls into this if that's your jam. Up to you how you use them. Have fun! Don't fall in love! ))

( she'll let him have his moment. for now. instead she walks over and watches one of the compass jellyfish slowly drift around.
this is the most relaxed she'sever been, she's pretty sure. )
They are. I love watching them, and seaweed... The way they drift is comforting, in a way, I think.

[Aubrey shows up with a backpack full of pajamas and whatnot, looking exactly how she feels: kind of out of place.
Still, she'll do her best to actually enjoy herself, by...]
A. Underwater Highway
[...Taking a tour of all the tanks! She's never been in an aquarium as large as this one before, and it shows in how she pauses to openly gawp at all the marine animals on display.]
B. BREADY STEADY GO
[...Getting a snack at the fast food joint! She's a simple girl. Cheeseburger and fries all the way here, thanks. She'll find a seat to enjoy the 'burg by herself, but it's at a table for two, so there's no stopping anyone from joining her.]
C. Lost at a Sleepover
[...Not really. She is in fact rolling out her sleeping bag and setting her pillow in place and settling down for the night. She is not, it seems, a night-owl.]
