Make a wish, save a fish?

[notyourutopian]

Hey you! Yes, you out there. How do you feel about turtles?
Or dolphins?
Or tropical fish?
Especially tropical fish!


Like these!

Now's your chance to sleep with the fishes!
Well. Next to the fishes.

There will be a charity sleep over at the Recollé aquarium, and you are invited!
For a small donation.
(Seriously it's twenty dollars.)

We'll have the run of the place for the night, aside from the security guards.
And tour guides there to make sure we don't break anything.


So bring a sleeping bag and pillow and your pajamas and come on over to the Aquarium!
It's on [date to be determined] and it should be a lot of fun!

And besides.



How can you resist this face?




(Yes, before you ask, this is a bingo thing. But it also really is a thing!)


[OOC: So, unless there's a sudden groundswell of interest in a mingle for this, it will be handwaved! People can say they were there, make up silly things they did at the aquarium, and generally just have fun with it!]

Can I give more than $20?! I want all the animals to be happy?
Can I sleep near the otcopi (octopuses? octopus....octopusus......)
Can I bring a friend?

[notyourutopian]

I cannot imagine they'll say no to however much money you want to give them.
You might have to get in early I am sure the octopi will be a popular sleeping companion!

Well yes bring everyone.

[shinyidea]

I can't wait! Do you know Kanan? She works there sometimes. She knows a lot about marine life.

[catsudon]

does the aquarium have any blue tangs?

( HE WANTS TO SEE THE KNIFE FISH

the fact this comes back from earlier this month is astounding tbh )

[notyourutopian]

They said yes they do.

[catsudon]

I'm in.

I need to see these up close.

What about sharks?

[admiringly]

ooh that's a really nice bingo thing to have though!!
i'll come and donate!
if i could sleep by the jellyfish that would be the dream!

[notyourutopian]

It could've been worse, yes!
I got lucky with it since I already knew someone who worked there.

Everyone has such oddly specific sleeping locations picked out.
I don't think you'll have any trouble getting that spot though!

[admiringly]

oooh that's even better that you have the connections!
i'm glad it wasn't super difficult for you to do

and there are so many creatures under the sea and some of them are so pretty and vivid
that it's really easy to have a favorite or two!
i hope so! but i won't get mad if other people claim it because it's for a good cause and a good time!

[matsuura]

ahhh this is so cute! I'm just a part-timer but no one told me about this!! I'd love to come!

[notyourutopian]

I only got it all worked out maybe four hours ago?

And perfect! Everyone is welcome.

[matsuura]

oh cool. maybe I can still volunteer to help out!
I'd want to sleep next to the dolphins...

[me_matey]

i feel like im too old for this

but i really wanna see the dolphins?!?!?!

[notyourutopian]

No one is ever too old for dolphins

[me_matey]

ye





ye


alright im in

[ladytakamaki]

Oh hey! I'm not the only one who got a bingo for the aquarium, huh?

Anyway I'll definitely be there! This sounds like a whole lot of fun.

[notyourutopian]

They do seem to like themes.

What was yours?

[twostringsonebow]

[... He can absolutely afford to donate 20 to sleep next to the fishes, it's helping them and he gets to be in the aquarium for a night that is so fun.]

Will we be able to pet the rays and such like usual?

[notyourutopian]

They said yes, as long as one of their people is around to supervise.

[mercurio]

are cameras allowed?

[notyourutopian]

I
Yes?
As long as no one is taking pictures of people who don't want to be in them.

[kittycaterer]

there a maximum donation?

[notyourutopian]

Do you really think they would say no to more money?

[invocate]

This sounds like fun! Count me in! I have not been to an aquarium in years.

[notyourutopian]

Well it's clearly time to change that!

I go at least once a year.
