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!]

The big tank has a bunch of them! All different kinds.
Nothing gigantic but still.

[catsudon]

Are there any of those walkways that have fish swimming over them?

I'm too lazy to look at the website and I've never actually been, so.

[notyourutopian]

One of those tunnels you walk through with the glass ceilings?
Yes they do.

[catsudon]

Those seem kind of interesting.

... What about an octopus.

[notyourutopian]

They have lots of those!
They're spread out in a few tanks though.

[catsudon]

i bet they move around when people aren't looking

do fish ever go missing there

[notyourutopian]

Uh
I feel like that would probably be on the news?

[catsudon]

i really doubt the aquarium reports all fish deaths

like seriously

[notyourutopian]

Dying is rather different from 'going missing' though.

[catsudon]

Not if they're getting eaten I don't think

[notyourutopian]

Oh.
No, not typically.
I've read about this because I was curious too.
Generally speaking they choose fish that can live together even if they might normally be considered lower on the food chain.
And they keep them fed enough that they don't typically have problems.

[catsudon]

Except that smart creature get bored, right? I thought that was one of the things that they did, sneaking into other tanks to eat extra and sneaking back.

[notyourutopian]

Not that I've...heard of?
I feel like that would make aquariums kind of impossible.

[catsudon]

Yeah, if most fish were smart. Octupuses ??? are smart. Your average fish is just hungry.

[notyourutopian]

True...
As far as I know, the octopi do not sneak into other tanks and eat the fish.
BUT you should ask when you go, because they'd know for sure!

[catsudon]

I'll ask.

Mostly because I bet someone has video of it if it happens.

[notyourutopian]

You could probably just look on youtube.
Try 'octopus thieves'

[catsudon]

Sure, but if I do it this way? I get to see the culprits themselves

[notyourutopian]

I suppose I can't argue with that.
I hope you find lots of ninja octopi then.
