[ People may have noticed that the carnivorous fish in the pond looked plumper than usual and usually content at that. The remains of robots had yet to be cleaned up at this point and it's an eerie sight considering the city is usually spic and span. Ai Thao is someone who's quite neat and tidy. In fact, she feels bad whenever she doesn't pick up after herself and that includes the fact that she did push her robot double into the park's pond. It's about time she got around to this since she's been putting it off for too long.

So you may be walking along a path in the park, minding your own business and suddenly fattened fish with long, sharp teeth are floating up into the air...

Wait.

Oh, they're going down again and there's a splash and a voice. ]

It HAS to be down there somewhere!

[Edgeworth was at the park, playing with his dog, when a shadow falls over him. Pess starts barking when he looks up at what's causing the shadow, and Edgeworth gasps at the fat floating fish with very sharp teeth, staring up likewise and wondering what was going on. Was this an alien fish with different powers or something?

When it flops back into the nearby pond, the splash absolutely soaks both him and his dog.]

Aaaagh!

[Edgeworth was not fast enough to dodge - and neither did he expect the fish to fall back into the water so soon. When he hears the voice - the very familiar voice - he follows it, his footsteps squishing against the path and the grass while Pess shakes himself dry. Needless to say, most of the water droplets flying off the dog land on Edgeworth.

Yeah, Ai, here's Edgeworth, damp from head to toe and not at all pleased that he's dripping wet. His hair is plastered all over his head, his cravat is limp and soggy and no longer frilly, and his suit is a mess.]

Miss Ai, what's going on?!

[swordplays]

[Fushimi doesn't even like the park, honestly. There's far too much nature and his allergies are unpredictable sometimes, but there was some stupid promotional event going on in the street on his usual way home, so he's making an exception and cutting through it.

He's minding his own business and wondering why on earth anyone would want to spend their time here when... yup, that's definitely a levitating fish, and that's definitely Ai talking to it? At it?

Don't ask. Don't ask. Don't ask.]

What... no, why, why are you doing that?

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee was doing a usual jog through the park when he noticed the odd sight of the bloated fish falling down into the water.

He came to a stop and looked around in confusion, quickly recognizing the other person's voice.]

Ah... Ai-san, is that you?!

[adminproof]

[ With literally no warning or heads up, Saiduq appears right behind her as she pulls out yet another fish and then drops it back in. He couldn't help his curiosity, and the park is one of his favorite places to be when it comes to people-watching, so... ]

Are you...fishing for something in particular?

[sayonaradumbass]

[yeah he might be the one feeding the fish robot parts.........cause they say not to feed them bread! Or was that the ducks? Either way, once the fish come flopping down over his head, Kaneda is gonna come investigate]

Don't tell me you're lookin' to make special sushi outta these guys.

( Being new, Soleil had every intention of familiarizing herself with Cerealia. Finding a pond is a relief, as all the futuristic technology has been overwhelming. She keeps close to the water during her walk. Seeing something as natural as a pond is something normal and comforting.

What isn't normal and comforting, though, is she sudden appearance of a big fish floating up from the water and crashing back down. The spray water soaks her. )

Wh-What? Not again!

[neverexpected]

[The park is one of the few places around the colony that feels even remotely like home, so Lavellan has found herself wandering around its winding paths where she can lose herself in the gentle scent of clean air, the gentle rustling of trees, and the frustrated voice of a young woman.]

[...]

[One of these things is not like the other.]

[Lavellan wanders towards the sound of Ai's voice, brow furrowed as she calls out, herself:]

Are you all right?
