Within the Tempozan Harbor Village at the center of the Bay Area you will find, housed in a structure of remarkable design, the Osaka Aquarium ”Kaiyukan,” one of the largest aquariums in the world. Consisting of 15 water tanks centered on a single huge tank holding 5,400 tons of water, it is home to 580 species and 30,000 marine animals from the Pacific Rim—everything from strangely delightful jellyfish, to playfully chortling sea otters, to dolphins, penguins, and even a pair of majestic giant whale sharks, the largest fish on earth. This is like no other aquarium anywhere, and it’s a magnetic attraction for both children and adults. Come see and be amazed.

 Asuna Kagurazaka Asuna Kagurazaka is the first person to get off of 'The Awesome Train...' A name she'd come with for the bus while they were on their way here. She moves out of the way of the door, not wanting to block anyone, but at the same time not wanting to dash off like a little kid and leave everybody else behind. She stands out of the way, gawking at the fantastic light show that makes up the front of the building. "I can't wait," she says, to nobody in particular.
They HAVE to have it here."Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, ARF!"

Staring up at the aquarium from a distance, his lips curled into a perfect O, a silent whistle of admiration.
"It's like they got the whole freakin' ocean right there, ya know?" Marc grinned as he stood next to Asuna, taking in the whole sight. Marc had never been a keen enthusiast of museums, aquariums, hell, anything educational. He did prefer aquariums over any historical sight, since he thought fish were a hell of a lot more interesting than old ruins and rubble. Still nothin' beats a theater or somethin'. He thought secretly to himself.
Turning to Asuna, Marc peered at her for a moment, observing her expression with an amused grin. "Yo, you a fish girl or somethin'? Most girls I know prefer fluffy pandas and crap, not fishies."

Yue looked around as they entered the aquarium, making sure Tony was still around. But hse glanced at Asuna and raised a brow. "Kagurazaka-san, why do you look...well, excited? Not that it's wrong to be excited about a trip to the aquarium, but..." Well she looked like she was focused on something else.
Aoi followed the others in, looking around briefly. Yep, fish. What else would you expect in an aquarium though? Her fingers unconsciously on her amulet, she took a slow walk by the glass, looking at the large and small swimming creatures in the water. Well, it was comforting, in a small way, right? Just sort of watching them swim along merrily, not caring.

TONY REDGRAVE Though a fight every now and then makes life more interesting. Tony stood next to Yue as he admired the many varieties of fish. "Quite a collection they've got here,huh Yue?" He asked Yue. He continued to look until he noticed a Shadow moving around in the back. "I'll be right back." He said as he went towards the shadow. He saw that it was a lone scarecrow demon. Suddenly he heard laughter from everywhere. A bunch of Scarecrow Demons appeared. He took out what looked like a necklace with a sword pendant on it , He took the pendant off and threw it in the air. When it came back down it was in the form off his sword Rebellion. He grabbed it and put it over his shoulder. "Let's Party...." Was all he said before the Scarecrow Demons Rushed at him. He slashed one down the middle and cut another on in half horizontally.

Asuna Kagurazaka "I wouldn't say I'm 'into' fish, like a hobby or anything..." she answers, walking side by side with Marc into the aquarium, "It's just... How should I put this... They sound a lot more interesting than a bunch of old buildings. I'm not saying I only want to see this, but it's a fun thing to start with."
She hears Yue's question, as they enter the building, and can already see a bunch of tanks from just behind the ticket counter. She gives her a somewhat confused look. "You're kidding, right? I'm excited because... Well, THEY might be here.""Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, ARF!"

Zazie Rainyday The Silent Acrobat of Mahora  Sometimes being silent... Zazie walked around the Aquarium looking at the large collection of fish they had here. All the different colors and Styles reminded her of some of the clothes she wears during a show. She noticed some of her classmates were already way ahead of here. She didn't really care though. She looked around and saw Yue and Asuna in the distance. She started walking towards them with he hand up as if saying 'hi'. ...Is the best way to talk.

The leader of their little rag-tag group seemed rather enthusiastic about all this. How interesting... he wonders what she expects to find here. He smiles softly but a movement in the shadows caught his eye, and one of the students wandered off to go investigate. Ts... amateur. He murmurs to himself for a moment before casting a temporary spell over the area Tony wandered off to. An avoidance and illusion spell. Wouldn't look like anything exciting's going on over there, and ain't nobody gonna find out. In such a public place, too. He's going to have to have a little chat with a certain ninja clan in the area about this occurrence. "So, Kagurazaka-chan, what exactly -are- you lookin' for?"

Asuna Kagurazaka
Asuna turns to offer Zazie a friendly smile and a wave, knowing that this girl isn't the most sociable in the class... It might actually be kind of cool to hang out with her here a little, away from school, to see if she might be able to break out of her shell and talk to them a little at some point. She doesn't seem to notice Tony leaving the group.
She grins, when she hears Cyrus's question. "Well, I've been thinking lately... Why haven't any of them been captured in the wild, despite numerous sightings? Nobody seems to much about them, so it's possible that they just keep getting away by slipping into the water, right? So maybe they're amphibious. And then it hit me. If this aquarium has over 580 aquatic species, like the brochure say, it has to have at least one Chupacabra."
"Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, ARF!"

Marc thought, as Asuna commented on how fish were more interesting than old buildings. There's enough of that crap in New York. Now colorful fish? Ain't somethin' ya see in New York too often, 'cept for mebbe them fancy-schmancy restaurants or somethin'. Filet mignon and crap.
Her next sentence puzzled Marc though: they might be here? Just what did Asuna think was here? Some rare species of fish? Man-eating jellyfish? SpongeBob SquarePants?
Chupacabra. ...Chupacabra? What the hell is that?! Mebbe it's some Japanese thing? Looking around, Marc didn't necessarily want to ask Asuna; something in his gut told him that if he dared to ask her directly, she'd go on a tangent. Warily, Marc nudged Aoi, his pointy elbow hitting her shoulder. "Yo, dude. Ya got any idea what a chupa-whatever is?" He whispered, unaware that Aoi wasn't a "dude", despite her androgynous appearance.

Aquatic...Asuna really thought maybe this thing was aquatic? Yue sweatdropped, looking at over where Tony had disappeared to. Hmm, where did he go anyway? She half frowned, before looking back at the others, giving Zazie a greeting nod when the girl approached.
Aoi looked at the tanks, paying little attention to the others' conversation. The girl was ridiculously mistaken if she was hoping to find a creature that wasn't aquatic, nor was it proven to be real, right here in an aquarium. You had better chance of finding the Loch Ness monster in the mouth of a volcano in the Ring of Fire. Aoi's ears twitched under her hat as she looked over at Marc, though her face didn't portray anything really but maybe slight irritance at how she was addressed. "A legend. That's all. I don't know what kind of portrayal it has in the eastern world, but in the West apparently it's a land-roaming creature that eats goats. But they're not even sure if it exists. Besides, if it does, I doubt it would be in Japan."

"... Chu...pa...cabura." He was aware her grades are low, but this is alarming. What manner of fantasy world does this girl live in? Or is she really so dim that-... p-perhaps her talents merely lie elsewhere. Common sense does not come easily to everyone, after all. She might be an exceptional athlete, or... or... something. It's funny he thinks of her living in a fantasy world, considering his own nature... "I d-... don't think they're going to have a chupacabura here, Kagurazaka-san. But in any case." Cirus sighs and starts take care of their admission to the aquarium at the admission booth, waving the kids to head on in before he'd follow them in.

Asuna Kagurazaka
Asuna gives her chaperone a look of mild annoyance out of the corner of her eye. She won't budge on the fact that Chupacabras exist- you can't declare something an object of fantasy just because there's no definitive proof of it. But thinking about it a little more calmly, he DOES have a point. If they had something as famous as a Chupacabra here, it'd be advertised, wouldn't it? They wouldn't have mistaken it for something else, either. She blushes a bit, realizing how stupid she must have made herself look.
"Yeah, OK," she concedes. "Well, even if they're not here, they're not the only thing I'd like to see. There's that... Um, I think it's a kind of small whale, with a long horn on it's nose, like a unicorn. I'd like to see some of those, then." She smiles, accepting her ticket and moving past the counter.
"Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, Takahata-sensei, ARF!"
